잠언 12:26의 탈무드
יָתֵ֣ר מֵרֵעֵ֣הוּ צַדִּ֑יק וְדֶ֖רֶךְ רְשָׁעִ֣ים תַּתְעֵֽם׃
의인은 그 이웃의 인도자가 되나 악인의 소행은 자기를 미혹하게 하느니라
Avot D'Rabbi Natan
There are seven realms: the upper realm, the lower realm, the air of the world, and the four upper areas. Rabbi Meir says: There are seven skies: Vilon, Rakia, Shekhakim, Zevul, Ma’on, Machon, and Aravot. The land, likewise, is called by seven names: Eretz, Adama, Arka, Haravah, Yabasha, Tevel, and Heled. And why is it called Tevel? Because it is seasoned (metubelet) with everything. Another interpretation: Because its nature is to bring in and not to take out.3It outlasts all, because it consumes but does not withdraw.
There are seven distinctions between one righteous person and another: One has a more pleasant wife than the other; one has more pleasant children than the other; both eat from one bowl, but this one tastes according to what he has done and that one tastes according to what he has done; both of them dye cloth with the same kettle, but this one’s comes out lovely and that one’s comes out ugly; one’s wisdom is greater; one’s understanding is greater; and one’s knowledge is greater (and one is taller), as it says (Proverbs 12:26), “The greater one guides the righteous.”
