Daughter-in-law of Ananias the old
From Masada. Having become a widow, she leaves again with her children, Ananias and Saul, from the village of Ananias the old, at the Jordan ford, abandoning her step-father blind and selling her house, forcing him into wandering.
"That is enough! Respect the living and the dead whom you did not deserve to have; your heart, woman, is harder than a stone. Woe to you! Yes. Woe to you! Because there is no love for your neighbour in your heart, and consequently Satan is in you. But watch, woman. Watch, lest the tears of the old man and those of your husband, whom you certainly oppressed through your lack of love, should become fire raining on what is dear to you. You have children, woman!…"[1]
