Sukkah 53a Part 3/7

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

What brings a person to the place of his death? Rabbi Yochanan teaches that a person's legs are his guarantors and take him wherever he is required. Shlomo HaMelech gave his two scribes to shedim, who took them to Luz, and the Malach HaMaves took them there anyway, so even Shlomo HaMelech was outsmarted. Back at the Simchas Beis HaShoeva, the Gemara gives two causes for Levi's limp, the kidah he showed before Rebbi and his sharp words toward Heaven.

Key points

• Rabbi Yochanan teaches that a person's legs take him wherever he is required.
• Rashi explains the two scribes were killed at the entrance to Luz, before entering.
• The Gemara answers that Levi's limp came from the kidah and his words together.
