" "He is condemned to the more grievous." R.
Jose said, "he is condemned for the first deed which he committed."

5. "He who is flogged once and again?" "The judges commit him to prison,
and they give him barley to eat till his belly bursts." "He who killed a
person without witnesses?" "They commit him to prison, and they give him
to eat the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction."(411)

6. "A thief who stole a sacred vessel, and he who cursed in necromancy,
and the paramour of an Aramaean?" "The avengers may at once fall upon him."
"The priest who served in legal uncleanness?" "His brother priests have no
need to bring him to the tribunal, but the young priests drag him outside
of the court, and dash out his brains with fagots of wood." "A stranger
who served in the sanctuary?" R. Akiba said, he is to be killed "with
strangling," but the Sages say, "by the visitation of heaven."

Chapter X

1. All Israel have a portion in the world to come, as is said, "Thy people
also shall be all righteous,"(412) etc. And these are they who have no
portion in the world to come: he who says there is no resurrection of the
dead in the law, and that there is no revealed law from heaven, and the
Epicurean. R. Akiba said, "even he who reads in forbidden(413) books, and
he who mutters over a wound"; and he said, "I will put none of these
diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the
Lord that healeth thee."(414) Aba Shaul said, "even to meditate the
NAME(415) in its letters."

2. Three kings and four ordinary persons have no portion in the world to
come. Three kings, Jeroboam, Ahab, and Manasseh. R. Judah said, "Manasseh
had a portion in the world to come," as is said, "And prayed unto him, and
he was entreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again
to Jerusalem into his kingdom."(416) The Sages said to him, "He brought
him back to his kingdom, but He did not bring him back to life in the
world to come." Four ordinary persons, Balaam, and Doeg, and Ahitophel,
and Gehazi, have no portion in the world to come.

3. The generation of the deluge has no portion in the world to come, and
they stand not in judgment, as is said, "My Spirit shall not always strive
with man."(417) (They have) neither judgment nor spirit. The generation of
the dispersion has no portion in the world to come, as is said, "So the
Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the
earth."(418)
