창세기 18:29의 Kabbalah
וַיֹּ֨סֶף ע֜וֹד לְדַבֵּ֤ר אֵלָיו֙ וַיֹּאמַ֔ר אוּלַ֛י יִמָּצְא֥וּן שָׁ֖ם אַרְבָּעִ֑ים וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ לֹ֣א אֶֽעֱשֶׂ֔ה בַּעֲב֖וּר הָאַרְבָּעִֽים׃
아브라함이 또 고하여 가로되 거기서 사십인을 찾으시면 어찌 하시려나이까 가라사대 사십인을 인하여 멸하지 아니하리라
Zohar
Rabbi Yosi said that the words "In this generation" are a tribute to Noah, who lived in such a wicked generation and nevertheless remained a righteous man and perfect. Even in the generation of Moses (Noah would have been considered righteous). But he was not able to protect the world, because there were not even ten (righteous people) in it. This was the case as described (regarding S'dom): "perhaps ten shall be found there" (Gen. 18:32). As not even ten were found, (S'dom was destroyed). The same happened here. Ten (righteous) people were not to be found; only Noah, his three sons and their wives. And they did not add up to ten.
