דוגמאות
“וַיִּגְדַּל עֲוֺן בַּת־עַמִּי מֵחַטַּאת סְדֹם הַהֲפוּכָה כְמוֹ־רָגַע וְלֹא־חָלוּ בָהּ יָדָיִם׃”
For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands fell upon her.
“אמר רב ששת מנא אמינא לה דכתיב והיו לבית ישראל למכשול עון... ומכשול שוגג ועון מזיד”
Said Rav Sheshet, From where do I say that? As it is written, "And they became a stumbling block of iniquity unto the house of Israel."... And "stumbling block" refers to unintentionally, and "iniquity" refers to intentionality.
