Talmud su Proverbi 21:14

Rebbi Ḥinena bar Pappos used to distribute his charity in the night. Once the prince of spirits encountered him. He said to him, did not our teacher teach us: Do not displace your neighbour’s boundaries⁹⁷Deut. 19:14.? He said to him, but is it not written, a gift in secret appeases anger⁹⁸Prov. 21:14.? He was afraid of him and fled from him.

Rebbi Ḥinena bar Pappai used to distribute his charity in the night. Once the prince of spirits encountered him. He said to him, did not our teacher¹⁵²Moses. The implication is that humans should leave the night for spirits since it is dangerous to go out then (Mishnah Avot 3:8). teach us (Deut 19:14): “Do not displace your neighbor’s boundaries.” He said to him, but is it not written (Prov. 21:14): “A gift in secret appeases anger.” He was afraid of him and fled from him.

Be happy when you donate gifts [of charity] quietly¹⁴lit. ‘from your house’. so that the anger [of the Angel of Death]¹⁵GRA omits ‘the Angel of Death’ and it may refer to God’s anger. may be diverted from you, as it is stated, A gift in secret pacifieth anger, and a present in the bosom strong wrath.¹⁶Prov. 21, 14.
