Provérbios 31:21 Referências do Talmudee: Jerusalem Talmud Shabbat

It is written¹³Is. 1:18., let us go and argue, says the Eternal, etc. It was stated, Rebbi Eliezer said, If your sins were like years¹²⁰The plural שָׁנִים is derived from שָׁנָה “year”, not from שָׁנִי “scarlet”. For the other occurrence in Prov. 31:21, Midrash Mishle (ed. S. Buber, p. 110, Note ל) reads the word as שְׁנַיִם “two, double”. The only rabbinic source which recognizes שָׁנִים as “scarlet” is in Midrash Mishle (loc. cit. p. 112)., etc., like the years from Heaven to Earth¹²¹The numbers given by RR. Eliezer and R. Joshua are identical, 500. Cf. Berakhot 1:1, Note 83., they will be snow white; more than that, they shall be like wool. Rebbi Joshua said, if your sins were like years, like the years of the patriarchs, they will be snow white; more than that, they shall be like wool. Rebbi Yudan bar Pazi said, If your sins were like years they will be snow white, the first time, if they were like purple they shall be like wool, the second time. But the rabbis said, If the sins of a person are like his years, they will be snow white; more than that, they shall be like wool. Rebbi Yudan Antordiyya said, at a time when a person’s sins are light, they will be snow white; at a time when they are serious, they shall be like wool.
