By the same measure

By the same measure

Equally. In the same manner or with the same quality.

("By the measure that a person measures, so is it measured to them. She adorned herself for sin and the Omnipresent disgraced her" - Jerusalem Talmud, Sotah 1:7. And likewise: "David said before the Holy One, blessed be He: Master of the universe, You do not judge us by strict justice, but by the measure of mercy; otherwise, we could not stand even for one hour... Rather, Lord, by what do You judge us? By that same measure of mercy" - Siddur Rashi, Siman 179)

בְּאֹפֶן שָׁוֶה. בְּאוֹתָהּ הַצּוּרָה אוֹ בְּאוֹתָהּ הַתְּכוּנָה.

("בְּמִדָּה שֶׁאָדָם מוֹדֵד בָּהּ מוֹדְדִין לוֹ. הִיא קִישְׁטָה אֶת עַצְמָהּ לַעֲבֵרָה וְהַמָּקוֹם נִוְּלָהּ"- יְרוּשַׁלְמִי סוֹטָה א, ז, וְכֵן: "אָמַר דָּוִד לִפְנֵי הקב"ה, רִבּוֹנוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם אֵין אַתָּה בָּא עָלֵינוּ בַּדִּין, אֶלָּא בְּמִדַּת רַחֲמִים, אִלּוּלֵי כָּךְ לֹא הָיִינוּ יְכוֹלִין לַעֲמֹד אֲפִלּוּ שָׁעָה אַחַת...אֶלָּא ... בְּאוֹתָהּ הַמִּדָּה שֶׁל רַחֲמִים"- סִדּוּר רָשִׁ"י סִימָן קעט)
