English · Heinrich W. Guggenheimer

MISHNAH: The generation of the Deluge has no part in the World to Come and they do not stand in judgment, as it is said: My Spirit shall not judge man forever. The people of Sodom have no part in the World to Come but they stand in judgment. Rebbi Neḥemiah says, neither of them stands in judgment, as it is said: Therefore, evildoers shall not rise in judgment, nor sinners in the company of the just. Therefore, evildoers shall not rise in judgment, that is the generation of the Deluge, nor sinners in the company of the just, these are the people of Sodom. They said to him, in the company of the just they will not rise; they will stand in the company of evildoers.

HALAKHAH: “The generation of the Deluge has no part in the World to Come,” and will not see the future. What is the reason? He wiped off all that was standing in this world; they were wiped off from the Land, in the future.

It was stated: Rebbi Neḥemiah says, one understands it from what was said My Spirit shall not judge man forever. Rebbi Jehudah says, My Spirit shall not judge him, for I shall not give My Spirit into them when I shall give My Spirit into people. Rebbi Simeon says, My Spirit shall not judge him, for I shall not give My Spirit into them when I shall distribute the rewards of the just. Others say, My Spirit shall not judge him, I shall not bring it back into its sheath. Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said, mainly their scalding was parboiling. What is the reason? At the time when they were scalded they shrank; in its heat they disappear from their place. What is in its heat? In their boiling. Rebbi Joḥanan said, every single drop which the Holy One, praise to Him, rained on them, He brought to a boil in Hell and rained it on them. That is what is written, in its heat they disappear from their place. Jehudah ben Rebbi Ḥizqiah and Rebbi said, the Holy One, praise to Him, judges the evildoers in Hell for twelve months. First He brings the itch on them; then He brings them into fire and they say woe, woe; after that He brings them into snow and they say wai, wai. What is the reason? He brought me up from the noisy pit, from miry mud. What is from יָוֶן mud? From a place where one says woe. Why could they not receive their punishment and then take part in the World to Come? Because the scoffer will not hear rebuke.

“The people of Sodom have no part in the World to Come,” and they will not see the future. What is the reason? The people of Sodom were very evil and sinful against the Eternal. Evil and sinful in this world, against the Eternal very much in the future. Another explanation. Evil against one another, and sinful in incest and adultery, against the Eternal in foreign worship, very much in spilling blood.
