Reply To: Now, that’s Jewish(?)

When saying or looking with jealousy on the good fortune of someone can awaken the accusers above (kitrug) to check his books whether he is worthy of it. As mentioned above, the red stting acknowledges his guilt, thereby quieting the kitrug, giving him foregiveness and protecting the child by showing mercy. Maybe the first born has the might and is in a bigger danger to be punished in
the sins of the parents.
