sin to nations, that is to say, for the Gentiles to exercise charity and
benevolence is sin. _Bava Bathra_, fol. 10, col. 2. If a Gentile smite an Israelite, he is guilty of death; as it is written (Exod. ii. 12), "And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw there was no man, he slew the Egyptian." _Sanhedrin_, fol. 58, col. 2. All Israelites have a portion in the world to come; as it is written (Isa. lx. 21), "And thy people are all righteous: they shall inherit the land." Ibid., fol. 90, col. 1. "And they shall fall one on account of another" (Lev. xxvi. 37),--one on account of the sins of another. This teaches us that all Israel are surety for one another. _Shevuoth_, fol. 39, col. 1. If one find a foundling in a locality where the majority are Gentiles, then the child is (to be reckoned) a Gentile; if the majority be Israelites, it is to be considered as an Israelite; and so also it is to be, providing the numbers are equal. _Machsheerin_, chap. 2, Mish. 7. |
