Talmud su Isaia 57:16

BARAITHA.²⁶K 17. R. Eliezer [b. Jacob] said: Whoever masturbates is as though he committed murder, as it is stated, That slay [shoḥeṭë] the children in the valleys. Do not read shoḥeṭë but soḥeṭë [‘that squeeze out’].
GEMARA. It has been taught:²⁷Nid. 13b (Sonc. ed., p. 88). Proselytes and they who masturbate delay the advent of the Messiah. This is understandable of them who masturbate because R. Joḥanan said: The son of David²⁸A term for the Messiah, who will be a descendant of David. will not come before all the souls in the guf²⁹lit. ‘body’, the place of the souls of the unborn. have been disposed of, as it is written, For the spirit that enwrappeth itself is from Me, and the souls which I have made.³⁰Isa. 57, 16. But why proselytes? For it has been taught:³¹Yeb. 47b (Sonc. ed., p. 312). Proselytes are as hard for Israel to endure as a sore, as it is stated, And the stranger shall join himself with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.³²Isa. 14, 1. There is a play upon the word for cleave (נספחו) and the word for scab (ספחת) in Lev. 13, 2. [Cf. Moore, op. cit., I, pp. 346f.]

Rebbi Joshua ben Ḥananiah said: When the wind goes out into the world, the Holy One, praise to Him, breaks it on mountains, lets it stumble on hills, and tells it: Be careful not to hurt my creatures. What is the reason? (Is. 57:16) “The wind becomes faint before Me.” He makes it tired, as one says (Jonah 2:8): “When I am fainting.” All that why? Rebbi Ḥuna in the name of Rebbi Aḥa (Is. 57:16): “And I made souls;” because of the souls that I made.
