וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אַבְרָ֜ם אֶל־שָׂרַ֗י הִנֵּ֤ה שִׁפְחָתֵךְ֙ בְּיָדֵ֔ךְ עֲשִׂי־לָ֖הּ הַטּ֣וֹב בְּעֵינָ֑יִךְ וַתְּעַנֶּ֣הָ שָׂרַ֔י וַתִּבְרַ֖ח מִפָּנֶֽיהָ׃
아브람이 사래에게 이르되 그대의 여종은 그대의 수중에 있으니 그대의 눈에 좋은 대로 그에게 행하라 하매 사래가 하갈을 학대하였더니 하갈이 사래의 앞에서 도망하였더라
Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)
Resh Lakish said: "He who suspects an innocent man will receive bodily punishment, for it is written (Ex. 4, 1.) But, behold, they will not believe me. It was known to the Holy One, praised be He! that Israel would believe him and He said unto Moses, 'They are believers, the children of believers, but I know thou wilt finally not believe.' They are believers, as it is written (Ib. ib. 31.) And the people believed. The children of believers, as it is written (Gen. 16, 6.) And they believed in the Lord. Thou wilt finally not believe, as it is said (Num. 20. 12.) Because ye have not had confidence in Me. Whence do we learn that he was punished? It is written (Ex. 4. 6.) And the Lord said furthermore unto him, 'Do put thy hand upon thy bosom.' etc." Raba. and according to others. R. Jose, the son of R. Chanina, said: "The measure of Divine Goodness comes more quickly than that of evil dispensation; for in the case of evil dispensation, it is written (Ib.) And when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, white as snow. As to the Divine Goodness, it is written (Ib.) And when he pulled it away from his bosom, behold, if has turned again as his other flesh, i.e., as soon as he pulled it away from his bosom, it had turned again as his other flesh." And Aaron's staff swallowed up their staves (Ib. 7, 12). R. Elazar said: "This was a miracle within a miracle."
