Jerusalem Talmud: Makos 6:2
They asked Wisdom how is the soul of a sinner atoned for? It responded “The sinner shall die”. They asked prophecy, it responded, “Evil will pursue the sinner”. Torah was asked…. “Let the soul bring a sacrifice and it will be atoned for. They asked God… and God responded, let them do Teshuvah (repent).
Questions to Consider and Discuss:
- Why do Wisdom, Prophecy and Torah answer the question in this way?
Seeing the other answers, how do we understand God’s answer of, “Teshuvah”?
