דוגמאות

“וַתֹּאמֶר אַל־אֲדֹנִי אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים אַל־תְּכַזֵּב בְּשִׁפְחָתֶךָ׃”

And she said: ‘Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thy handmaid.’

“לֹא אִישׁ אֵל וִיכַזֵּב וּבֶן־אָדָם וְיִתְנֶחָם הַהוּא אָמַר וְלֹא יַעֲשֶׂה וְדִבֶּר וְלֹא יְקִימֶנָּה׃”

God is not a man, that He should lie; Neither the son of man, that He should repent: When He hath said, will He not do it? Or when He hath spoken, will He not make it good [fulfill it]?

“וְהָיִיתָ כְּגַן רָוֶה וּכְמוֹצָא מַיִם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יְכַזְּבוּ מֵימָיו׃”

And thou shalt be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

“וְכֵן הָָיָה ר׳ יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר יוֹרֶדֶת הַצַּלְמִין אֲסוּרָה מִפְּנֵי שֶׁכִּזְבָּה בִּשְׁעַת פּוֹלְמוֹס אָמְרוּ לוֹ כֹּל מֵימֵי בְּרֵאשִׁית כִּזְבּוּ בִּשְׁעַת פּוֹלְמוֹס.”

And so too would Rabbi Yehuda say, one who goes down to Tzalmin is forbidden [to draw water], because they [are waters which are known to] have failed in times of war. They said to him, all the waters of Creation failed in times of war.
