תּוֹרָה קפז

That Hashem Yisborach repays a person measure for measure — this is a great kindness from Hashem Yisborach. For through this one understands the sin in which one has blemished — and to return in teshuvah. And the primary measure-for-measure repayment by Hashem Yisborach is in the Land of Israel — for there they are precise in repaying each person according to his deeds. And this is: ""a land that consumes its inhabitants"" [Numbers 13:32]. "Ocheles" [אֹכֶלֶת] is the initial letters of: "Atah T'shaleim L'ish K'ma'aseihu" — ""You repay each man according to his deeds"" [Psalms 62:13].
