A father asking Hashem to kill his own child because she is too pretty? Please, didn’t he have enough faith and trust in Hashem that He made her that way for a reason? Couldn’t he have built a bigger fence or one that was not see through? Couldn’t he have wished his neighbor to be blind because he could not fight off his yetzer harah? Or better yet, couldn’t he have had enough faith in Hashem that he prayed for his neighbor to overcome his yetzer horah? Wouldn’t that have been a better lesson and end to that story? Hashem didn’t kill the child because HE made her too pretty. If it is true, he killed the child to punish the father for even thinking and asking for such an horrendous bakasha. Cheit avos al habonim.
