274. Ra'aya Meheimna (the Faithful Shepherd). The Faithful Shepherd WHO IS MOSES said, There are places in Gehenom reserved for those who desecrate the Shabbat in public and did not repent the desecration. There are chieftains appointed over them. There are also places in Gehenom for those who commit sexual misconduct, who interpret the Torah improperly and those who shed the blood of the clean. Also for those who swear falsely, who sleep with a menstruating woman or with a woman who worships a strange El, a whore or a maid, and even for those who trespass the 365 negative precepts.
275. For every sin, there is a place in Gehenom and a chieftain over it. The Satan, one's Evil Inclination, is appointed over all sins and places and those in charge over them. If one repents, it is written, "I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgression" (Yeshayah 44:22). The record of each and every sin is blotted from its place in Gehenom.
276. Some sins are recorded above but not below IN THIS WORLD and some are written below but not above; some are recorded below and above. If THE SINS are blotted below IN THIS WORLD THROUGH REPENTANCE, they are blotted above after repentance. The sages of the Mishnah explained further that an evil man's sins are engraved on his bones and a righteous man's merits are engraved on his bones. Why? So that they will be recorded among the sinners by which they will be recognized. A voice resounds, saying of him: This is an evil man, let his bones be burned in Gehenom.
277. We explained that it is the souls of evil men who are harming spirits in the world. Their punishment, according to the sages of the Mishnah, is that their souls will be burned and become ashes under the feet of the righteous. How are they burned? By the fire of the throne, MALCHUT, of which it says, "His throne was fiery flames, its wheels being burning fire" (Daniel 7:9), NAMELY, BY THE FIRE of the four fiery living creatures that surround the throne of Judgment, Adonai, HINTED AT BY THE PROVERB: 'The law (Judgment) of the government (Malchut) is indeed the law.'
