Yerushalmi Bava Kamma 8:7 ירושלמי בבא קמא ח׳:ז׳

MISHNAH: Even though he did pay, he will not be forgiven⁷⁸The person who injures another cannot obtain mercy in Heaven unless he first has asked forgiveness on earth. unless he asks for forgiveness, as it is said: “Now return the man’s wife since he is a prophet⁷⁹Gen. 20:7. The reference as usual is to the part of the verse which is not quoted: “Let him pray for you that you will live.” This implies that Abraham first had to forgive Avimelekh before the latter obtained Heavenly mercy..” From where that the person asked to forgive shall not be cruel? It is said⁸⁰Gen. 20:17.: “Abraham prayed to the Omnipotent, etc.”

HALAKHAH: “Even though he did pay,” etc. ⁸¹Paragraph missing in the Leiden ms., added from the Genizah text. E’s text is somewhat longer.[And so you find with Job’s friends. ⁸²Job 42:8–10. Tosephta 9:29.“Now yourselves take seven bulls and seven rams, etc.” “Eliphas the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Ṣophar the Naamite went and did, etc.” What does it say at the end? “The Eternal changed Job’s fortunes.” When? “When he was praying for his neighbor, etc.” “The Eternal doubled everything that Job had had.”]

It was stated⁸³Tosephta 9:30; Babli Šabbat151b.: Rebbi Jehudah says in the name of Rabban Gamliel. Since it says that⁸⁴Deut. 13:18. “He will give you mercy etc.”, let the following be a sign in your hand: Whenever that you show mercy, the Omnipresent will have mercy on you. If you do not show mercy, the Omnipresent will not have mercy on you. ⁸⁵Yoma 8:9 (45c), Babli 87b. Rav said: If a person misbehaved towards another and asked for pardon but the other did not respond, let him assemble a row of people and ask for pardon, as it is written⁸⁶Job 33:27.: “Form a row of men, etc.⁸⁷“Let him say, I sinned, I did evil without caring.”” If he does so, what is written there? ⁸⁸Job 33:28.“He redeemed his soul from the pit, not to go to destruction etc.” Rebbi Yose said, that is if he did not defame, but the defamer is never pardoned.
