ציטירנדיקער פּירוש אויף בראשית 4:25

“He said to the redeemer, the piece of field” [4:3]. Boaz spoke to the redeemer. The piece of field that belongs to our brother Elimelech, has Naomi, who has returned from the plains of Moab, sold it? I thought that I would uncover your ears to say, buy it before those sitting here and before the elders of our people. If you wish to redeem it, then redeem it. Boaz said to the elders: if he does not want to redeem, let him tell me and I know well that if there is nobody, then it is correct to redeem and I am next in line. He said: I will redeem. Some asked, why did the verse say, “I know that there is nobody else to redeem” [4:4]. This means, I know that there is nobody else to redeem. He meant, that if he does not redeem, let him tell me, “and I will know” and I will marry her and sleep with her. Not as he means, to bring her into the house to be a cook. I will gladly do this but you are the next in line. “And I will know” means to sleep with, as we find, “and Adam knew” [Genesis, 4:25]. This means to sleep with.

And with the afflictions of people. This refers to Ashmedoy who dethroned him.¹⁰Gittin 68b. The demons are the children of Odom Horishon¹¹See Yalkut Shimoni 146. The word אָדָם in the verse is taken as a reference to Odom Horishon. because the entire one hundred and thirty years that Odom [stayed] separated from his wife after Hevel's death,¹²Rashi in Bereishis 4:25 says that the Odom’s separation was due to the fact that he had brought death, to the world. The Yalkut Shimoni does not mention why the separation occurred. In addition the Yalkut Shimoni tells as that it was Chava who separated herself from Odom. the spirits would become heated [pregnant] and give birth from him.

לכן כל הורג קין שבעתים יוקם, “therefore whosoever slays Kayin, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” The plain meaning of this verse is that seeing that Kayin was worried about being murdered, G–d assured him that anyone murdering Kayin even after he had lived seven generations would be held accountable by Him. This is why Lemech who held himself as guilty of killing Kayin, even though he did so unintentionally, told his wives what would happen to anyone killing him on that account (Compare verse 25 in this chapter.) Lemech’s children were the seventh generation, after Adam. (Adam-Kayin-Chanoch-Irod-M’chuyael-M’tushael-Lemech-(Yaval,Yuval Tuval Kayin) He told his wives that the whole generation of such a killer fathered by himself would be held responsible for his murder by G–d, seeing that what he had done was due to his being blind and therefore totally innocent of any intent to harm a human being.
