לֹֽא־יוּמְת֤וּ אָבוֹת֙ עַל־בָּנִ֔ים וּבָנִ֖ים לֹא־יוּמְת֣וּ עַל־אָב֑וֹת אִ֥יש בְּחֶטְא֖וֹ יוּמָֽתוּ׃ (ס)
아비는 그 자식들을 인하여 죽임을 당치 않을 것이요 자식들은 그 아비를 인하여 죽임을 당치 않을 것이라 각 사람은 자기 죄에 죽임을 당할 것이니라
Kuntres Mattan Torah
17. This allows us to understand one of the most enigmatic sayings of the sages, that is, “the entire Jewish people are guarantors for one another” (tractate Shevuot 39a). This is completely unfair. How can it be that if one sins or transgresses and provokes his maker, and if I do not know him or am related to him, the Holy One, blessed be He, will still demand his payment from me. It is written that “Fathers shall not be put to death for children… every man shall be put to death for his own sin” (Deuteronomy 24:16, II Chronicles 25:4). How can they say that I am responsible for the sins even of a complete stranger, whom I do not know, nor his place?
