Talmud su Proverbi 27:21
מַצְרֵ֣ף לַ֭כֶּסֶף וְכ֣וּר לַזָּהָ֑ב וְ֝אִ֗ישׁ לְפִ֣י מַהֲלָלֽוֹ׃
La pentola di raffinazione è per l'argento, e la fornace per l'oro, e un uomo viene tentato dalle sue lodi.
Tractate Semachot
R. Ḥanina b. Antigonos said: An old man who eats forbidden fat34Cf. Lev. 3, 17. or one who desecrates the Sabbath dies by kareth. And what is there to show us that they died by kareth? But he who dies after [an illness of] three days dies by kareth; after four by a hurried death; after six, it is the death decreed in the Torah; after seven it is a death of [divine] love; after a longer period it is a death by suffering.
R. Judah said:35Cf. Midrash Rabbah, Genesis, LXVI, 2 (Sonc. ed., p. 549) and Shab. 118b (Sonc. ed., p. 583). The pious men of former times used to suffer with stomach trouble for about twenty days before death in order to be cleansed of everything, so that they should come pure36So GRA; V and H ‘innocent’. into the World to Come;37[For the thought, cf. ARN I, 1, p. 1, n. 5.] as it is said, The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, and a man is tried by his praise.38Prov. 27, 21. [H quotes ibid. XVII, 3 as the proof-text.] [45a].
