430. It is written, \u201cHis descendants will be mighty on earth.\u201d Happy is he who has been rewarded with sons in this world. If he is not rewarded, he goes from hand to hand, as it is written, \u201cHand to hand will not be cleaned from evil.\u201d What is \u201chand to hand\u201d? It is as it is written, \u201cThe secret of the Lord for those who fear Him,\u201d meaning that it is a secret that must not be told to any person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
431. \u201cNow Naomi had a relative on her husband\u2019s side, a mighty man from the family of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz,\u201d and it is written, \u201cThe man is a relative of ours, one of our redeemers,\u201d meaning he will redeem Machlon, who died without sons, since he was incarnated in Oved, the son of Ruth. By this, the text implies \u201cHand to hand will not be cleaned from evil,\u201d which is written about he who dies without sons, that he incarnates from body to body through his brother\u2019s levirate marriage. If \u201chand to hand\u201d means that he incarnates, what is \u201cwill not be cleaned from evil\u201d? It should have said \u201cwill clean evil.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
432. It is like an officer who was beating the wicked one until he is given a guarantor. If he gives a guarantor, they do not let the officer beat him anymore. Here, too, \u201cwill not be cleaned from evil\u201d altogether, but the son who is born from the levirate marriage is like his guarantor, where if he walks on the straight path, he redeems him. If not, he does not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
433. Rabbi Zamiraah went out to the village Ony. He saw flames rising from the fissures in the creases of the glands. He listened and heard voices. That Arab told him, \u201cWalk with me and I will show you wonders that are hidden from people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He went with him behind a rock and saw other fissures and flames rising up. They heard other voices. He said to him, \u201cListen over here.\u201d He listened and heard voices saying \u201cWoe!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
434. He said, \u201cThis must be one of those places in Hell.\u201d That Arab passed him and he remained. In the meantime, he bent himself elsewhere and saw a man making loud noises. They took him and brought him to the depth of another section and he was covered and he did not see him anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
435. He fell asleep and saw that man in a dream. He said to him, \u201cWho are you?\u201d He said, \u201cI am a wicked Jew; there is no evil or sin in the world that I did not do,\u201d he told him in the dream. \u201cWhat is your name?\u201d He told him, \u201cI do not know, for the wicked in Hell do not know their names.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
436. He told him, \u201cWhat is the name of your place?\u201d He told him, \u201cI was a butcher in Upper Galilee, and because of the many evils I had committed there, that man is sentenced three times a day and three times at night.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
437. He got up from there and went to Upper Galilee. He heard the voice of a child saying, \u201cIf you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Creator.\u201d He went to another seminary. He heard the voice of another child saying \u201cSeek justice; seek humbleness; perhaps you will be hidden.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
438. He went and searched for that wicked man and asked another child. He told him, \u201cRabbi, so and so will come to that person who did not leave wickedness and sins in the world that he did not commit. Such and such will become of that wicked one and the nursing woman who nursed him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
439. He said to him, \u201cDid he leave a son in the world?\u201d He said to him, \u201cYes, he left one son, who is as wicked as his father, and he is a child who goes to the slaughterhouse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He searched for him and took him and taught him Torah, until he taught him the Five Books of Moses, and prayer, and the Shema reading. Afterwards, he taught him Mishnah, Talmud, rules, and legends until he grew very wise, and he is Rabbi Nahum the Pakuli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
440. He was named \u201cThe Pakuli,\u201d as it is written, \u201cstumbling in judgment,\u201d since he brought out his father from the judgment in that world. Several of the sages of that generation were called Pakuli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
441. That man came to him in a dream and said to him, \u201cRabbi, as you comforted me, so will the Creator comfort you, for since the day when my son knew one verse, I was exempted from the judgment. When he read the Shema reading, my sentence was brought up whether in the day or in the night only once. And when he read a verse in his teacher\u2019s house, my judgment was revoked altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
442. \u201cOn the day when he grew wise and was called a Rabbi, they set up my chair among the righteous in the Garden of Eden, and each day when Torah was innovated by him, I am crowned with a high crown with which the righteous are crowned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
443. \u201cThanks to you, I have been rewarded with all that honor. Happy is he who left a son in this world who engages in Torah.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
