Description

Part of a series on the midrashim of Bereishit Rabbah related to Noach. This week we learned Bereishit Rabbah 31:2, which connects Iyov 24:11 with the Torah's statement that "the land was filled with chamas because of them." This midrash suggests that the land itself was involved in the chamas.
