Musar к Берешит 6:17
וַאֲנִ֗י הִנְנִי֩ מֵבִ֨יא אֶת־הַמַּבּ֥וּל מַ֙יִם֙ עַל־הָאָ֔רֶץ לְשַׁחֵ֣ת כָּל־בָּשָׂ֗ר אֲשֶׁר־בּוֹ֙ ר֣וּחַ חַיִּ֔ים מִתַּ֖חַת הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם כֹּ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־בָּאָ֖רֶץ יִגְוָֽע׃
И вот, я несу поток воды на землю, чтобы уничтожить всякую плоть, в которой дыхание жизни, из-под небес; все, что на земле, погибнет.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
The Zohar in its commentary on this פרשה, warns repeatedly that one must be careful not to expose oneself to danger at a time when danger lurks all around. We have discussed the letter מ as alluding to the angel of death. As long as the angel of death does not come face to face with a potential victim he has no control over such a person. It is best to hide in one's house during wars and other times when violence erupts, so as not to expose oneself to the forces of destruction.
