Description

Part of a series on the midrashim of Bereishit Rabbah related to Noach. This week we learned Bereishit Rabbah 31:4, which connects Iyov 35:9 with the Torah's statement that "the land was filled with chamas because of them." This midrash suggests that the fate of the generation was sealed because everyone was guilty of some form of abuse - financial or verbal.
