Two meanings of blood/ money and blood are one

Two meanings of blood/ money and blood are one

Money and health are as one. Both a monetary price and life itself (the word דָּמִים has a double meaning: money and blood).

(“David said to Abigail (in I Samuel): ‘Blessed be your discernment, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodshed.’ ‘Bloodshed’ has two meanings. Likewise: ‘I can only imagine to myself that this is how it happened, and this affair certainly cost him dearly.’”)

כֶּסֶף וּבְרִיאוּת כְּאֶחָד. גַּם מְחִיר כַּסְפִּי וְגַם חַיִּים (לַמִּלָּה דָּמִים מַשְׁמָעוּת כְּפוּלָה: כְּסָפִים וְדָם).
