Chasidut sobre Gênesis 12:11
וַיְהִ֕י כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר הִקְרִ֖יב לָב֣וֹא מִצְרָ֑יְמָה וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אֶל־שָׂרַ֣י אִשְׁתּ֔וֹ הִנֵּה־נָ֣א יָדַ֔עְתִּי כִּ֛י אִשָּׁ֥ה יְפַת־מַרְאֶ֖ה אָֽתְּ׃
Quando ele estava prestes a entrar no Egito, disse a Sarai, sua mulher: Ora, <span class="x" onmousemove="Show('perush','Veja Babá Batrá 16a, e entenda que o escrito lá é simplesmente alegórico, e não literal.

Baal Shem Tov
Even if foreign thoughts arrive, my master taught me how to discern whether a thought is from the pillar of kindness, hesed, that fell through the breaking of the vessels and needs to be elevated. Some thoughts, however, are thoughts of transgression, and when such a thought arrives, you should know that there is judgement against you that want you to be punished, and you should tremble greatly at this understanding. By doing so, you can unite Awe and Awed, and "all evildoers will disappear." In this way he interpreted the verses "I know that you are a beautiful woman" (Genesis 12:11) and "Lest they kill me" (Genesis 26:7) - a hint at the punishment of one who harbours this type of thoughts of sexuality.
