וּלְשָׂרָ֣ה אָמַ֗ר הִנֵּ֨ה נָתַ֜תִּי אֶ֤לֶף כֶּ֙סֶף֙ לְאָחִ֔יךְ הִנֵּ֤ה הוּא־לָךְ֙ כְּס֣וּת עֵינַ֔יִם לְכֹ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתָּ֑ךְ וְאֵ֥ת כֹּ֖ל וְנֹכָֽחַת׃
At kay Sarah ay sinabi niya, “Tingnan mo, nagbigay ako ng isang libong pilak sa iyong kapatid; tingnan mo, ito ay para sa iyo na pantakip ng mga mata sa lahat ng kasama mo; at sa harap ng lahat ay napawalang-sala ka.”
Megillah
R Elazar further said in the name of R. Hanina: Let not the curse of an ordinary man be held lightly in your eyes, because Avimelech cursed Sarah, saying, “Behold he is for you a covering of the eyes” (Genesis 20:16) and this was fulfilled in her seed, [as it says], “And it came to pass that when Isaac was old his eyes were dim” (Genesis 27:1).
Megillah
But was that the cause? Did not R. Yitzchak say: Let not the curse of an ordinary person ever seem light in your eyes, for Avimelech cursed Sarah, and it was fulfilled in her seed, as it says, “Behold he is for you a covering [kesut] of the eyes” (Genesis 20:16). Read not “kesut” but “kesiyath” [blinding]?
