Description

Part of a series on the midrashim of Bereishit Rabbah related to Noach. This week we concluded Bereishit Rabbah 31:5b, which defines chamas as theft of less than a perutah's worth, and which says that G-d decided to "cross a line" in punishment because the people "crossed a line" in their actions. Chamas = Abandonment of Justice.
