מַתָּ֣ן בַּ֭סֵּתֶר יִכְפֶּה־אָ֑ף וְשֹׁ֥חַד בַּ֝חֵ֗ק חֵמָ֥ה עַזָּֽה׃
暗中的饋贈能平息怒氣;懷中遞上的禮物能平息烈怒。
Jerusalem Talmud Shekalim
Rebbi Ḥinena bar Pappos used to distribute his charity in the night. Once the prince of spirits encountered him. He said to him, did not our teacher teach us: Do not displace your neighbour’s boundaries97Deut. 19:14.? He said to him, but is it not written, a gift in secret appeases anger98Prov. 21:14.? He was afraid of him and fled from him.
Jerusalem Talmud Peah
Rebbi Ḥinena bar Pappai used to distribute his charity in the night. Once the prince of spirits encountered him. He said to him, did not our teacher152Moses. The implication is that humans should leave the night for spirits since it is dangerous to go out then (Mishnah Avot 3:8). teach us (Deut 19:14): “Do not displace your neighbor’s boundaries.” He said to him, but is it not written (Prov. 21:14): “A gift in secret appeases anger.” He was afraid of him and fled from him.
