A Péld 2 értelmezése a Masorah fényében

Valójában a forróság gyógyító hatásáról lehet itt szó, melyet a gyógyászatban alkalmaztak Egyiptomban is, különböző formában. Ennek bibliai nyomait is felfedezik a kutatók. Pál a Rómaiakhoz írt levelében (12,20) ilyen értelemben idézheti a Péld 25,21-22-t, a szeretet ellenséget is megváltoztató, gyógyító hatására utalva,53

53 „The idea that fever is a method of therapy may be traced back to the early days of written history. “Give me the power to produce fever, and I will cure all disease," is a quotation attributed to Hippocrates more than twenty-three hundred years ago...The origin of therapeutic fever lies buried in medical antiquity. While the rays of the sun have therapeutic value, other than their heating effects, nevertheless, early physicians used them solely for these effects. Heat was also applied to locally affected parts of the body and to its entirety by means of hot water, steam, sand, and mud baths...Egyptian physicians during the Fifth Century B. C. applied rules for sun and heat therapy." - BIERMAN, W.: The History Of Fever Therapy In The Treatment Of Disease in: Bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine January 1942 65-75. 65. 66. http:// www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1933808/; „Heliotherapy and phototherapy, the natural offspring of solar theology, whose romance with light and sunshine has remained a permanent legacy throughout the ages, have led to much good medicine and much bad medicine. Moses, who brough this people out of slavery in Egypt, legislated against pagan sun worship, but not its healing qualities. The Talmud recognized that the sun "carries healing in its wings"(Malachi3:20). A biblical story tells of Jacob limping due to an accident, and the "Sun rose upon him, which was interpreted by Rabbi Berachaya to mean, "The sun shone upon him in order to heal him" (Geneis Rabbah78:5)...Maimonides (1135-1204) describes the sun as the light and the warmth of the world..."- BLOCH, H.: Solar Theology, Heliotherapy, Phototherapy, And Biologic Effects: A Historical Overview in: Journal Of The National Medical Association VOL. 82. NO. 7. 517-521. 517. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PM- C2626960/?page=2; "Whether God punishes the enemy at the eschaton with "coals of fire" or whether the enemy is purified with "coals of fire," the hoped-for reward for the Christian is the key to the actions. But by forgoing revenge, a normal human response, the actor in Romans offers the potential for a dynamic new relationship by stating to the enemy indeed, "I will not pay back evil for evil." To treat the enemy kindly has only positive benefits for the Christian and ensures that any judgment the enemy receives takes place according to the only true measure of justice, that meted out by God." - MARTENS, J. W.: Burning questions in Romans 12:20: what is the meaning and purpose of "coals of fire"? in: Catholic Biblical Quarterly, 76 no 2 Ap 2014. 291-305. 305.; „Sommigen meenen dat deze spreekmanier mischien afkomstig is van het oude gebruik der artsen, om beroerdheit en zinneloosheit, die door koude veroorzaakt was, te genezen door het leggen van heete kolen op het hoofd..."-Verklaring van de geheele
