Talmud su Genesi 19:19

הִנֵּה־נָ֠א מָצָ֨א עַבְדְּךָ֣ חֵן֮ בְּעֵינֶיךָ֒ וַתַּגְדֵּ֣ל חַסְדְּךָ֗ אֲשֶׁ֤ר עָשִׂ֙יתָ֙ עִמָּדִ֔י לְהַחֲי֖וֹת אֶת־נַפְשִׁ֑י וְאָנֹכִ֗י לֹ֤א אוּכַל֙ לְהִמָּלֵ֣ט הָהָ֔רָה פֶּן־תִּדְבָּקַ֥נִי הָרָעָ֖ה וָמַֽתִּי׃

Ecco il tuo servo ha trovato grazia appo te, e tu mi usasti una grande misericordia, serbandomi in vita. Ora, io non potrei rifuggire al monte, poiché [pria ch’io vi arrivassi] il disastro mi raggiungerebbe, ed io morrei.

Tractate Soferim

All [divine] names mentioned in connection with Lot are secular38There is only one secular name in the Lot passages. The Tetragrammaton, which is of course sacred, occurs twice. The word ‘all’ is not intended to be taken literally (cf. N.Y.). except the last, viz. And Lot said unto them: Oh, not so my Lord.39Gen. 19, 18. Lot’s address to the angels is taken to end at not so, and then his petition to God begins, My Lord, behold, etc. [So the Targum and Shebu. 35b (Sonc. ed., pp. 205f).] All [divine] names mentioned in the story of Micah40Judg. 17f. are secular. R. Jose says: When they begin with Yod-he41The Tetragrammaton. they are sacred, but when with Alef-lamed42The word for ‘God’. they are secular except in the phrase the house of God was in Shiloh.43ibid. XVIII, 31. All the [divine] names which occur in the story of Naboth are sacred except in the sentence Naboth did curse god44Referring to one of the strange gods introduced by Jezebel. E.V. God. and king.451 Kings 21, 13. All the [divine] names which occur in the narrative of Gibeah of Benjamin46Judg. 20f. are secular according to R. Eliezer, but R. Joshua says: They are sacred. R. Eliezer said to him, ‘Is it possible that the Omnipresent would promise [victory]47According to Judg. 20, 18, 23 God told Israel to wage war against Benjamin, which implied that they would be victorious. and not fulfil?’48Israel was defeated on both occasions (ibid. 21, 25). R. Joshua replied, ‘The Omnipresent promises and fulfils’.49The Israelites did not appreciate that on the first two occasions God only told them that they may go to war but promised no victory. Only on the third occasion were they assured that Benjamin would be delivered into their hands (ibid. XX, 28). [37a]

Jerusalem Talmud Ketubot

And from where that a better neighborhood tests142That more healthy surroundings can cause problems.? Rebbi Levi in the name of Rebbi Ḥama in the name of Ḥanina: “That disaster should not cling to me and I die.143Gen. 19:19, Lot speaking to the angels who had told him to move to the mountains to escape the destruction of Sodom. The climate in the Moabite mountains is much healthier that in the plain of the Dead Sea.
A slightly expanded version is in Gen. rabba 50(20) by R. Berekhia in the name of R. Levi. The Babli, 110b, quotes a verse of Sirach to the same effect.
” He was in the plain and was directed to the mountains, and you say so? But from here that a better neighborhood tests!
