사무엘하 7:19의 Musar
וַתִּקְטַן֩ ע֨וֹד זֹ֤את בְּעֵינֶ֙יךָ֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה וַתְּדַבֵּ֛ר גַּ֥ם אֶל־בֵּֽית־עַבְדְּךָ֖ לְמֵֽרָח֑וֹק וְזֹ֛את תּוֹרַ֥ת הָאָדָ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה׃
주 여호와여 주께서 이것을 오히려 적게 여기시고 또 종의 집에 영구히 이를 일을 말씀하실 뿐 아니라 주 여호와여 인간의 규례대로 하셨나이다
Ohr Yisrael
Yet, for everything there is an occasion, and for every experience, a time.12Compare Ecclesiastes 3:1-2. R. Salanter is saying that the epidemic has created a time for grief in our life. We also are pained by the untimely loss of life. Nevertheless, we should guide our emotions not to fear the plague. Now that this plague has appeared in the land, and even here—may the Merciful One save us—this is the teaching that should guide a person,13Compare II Samuel 7:19. The verse in II Samuel carries the overtone that this guidance is a gracious, unmerited gift from God. and this is common sense: Do not be afraid of [the disease] at all. For what is human life in any case? Who knows if his [future] path [in life] would have turned out [to be] upright. Furthermore, we must act in accordance with the wise doctors’ instructions - for our religion tells us to walk by the light of their words14Halakhah considers “you shall safeguard your lives very much” (Deut. 4:15) to be a mitzvah. Halakhah also rules that saving a life overrules all of the Torah’s commandments except for three. and thus uphold this life to be good and do good.
