THEY DID NOT DIE FOR OF THEIR OWN SINS. Those three are Amram, Levi, and Benjamin. Some friends also include Yishai among them. None of them ever sinned and no blemish could be found to explain their deaths except for the prompting of the serpent, as we have said.
416. בַּר אִינוּן תְּלָתָא, דְּאִסְתַּלָּקוּ בְּגִין הַהוּא עֵיטָא דְּנָחָשׁ הַקַּדְמוֹנִי. וְאִלֵּין אִינוּן: עַמְרָם, לֵוִי וּבִנְיָמִין. וְאִית דְּאָמְרֵי, אוֹף נָמֵי יִשַּׁי. דְּלָא חָבוּ, וְלָא אִשְׁתְּכַח עֲלַיְיהוּ חוֹבָא דִּימוּתוּן בֵּיהּ, בַּר דְּאַדְכַּר עֲלַיְיהוּ הַהוּא עֵיטָא דְּנָחָשׁ. כִּדְאֲמָרָן.
