coffee addict, a comma determines whether Noach was a tzadik tamim:
It says מפני מי המבול, Noach entered the ark when the water pushed him in, says Rashi אף נח מקטני אמונה היה, מאמין ואינו מאמין שיבא המבול so Noach did not fully believe that the flood will come. What about as a praise? I heard once that it matters where we place the comma.
,אף נח מקטני אמונה היה מאמין Noach trusted the one’s with a small belief, figuring that they will do teshuva as Hashem originally had the rain come lightly, when it says ויגברו המים the water became stronger and therefore ואינו מאמין שיבא המבול Noach did not actually believe the flood will come.
