The World's Reckoning

הגדרה (אנגלית)

By way of metaphor: an assessment of the important matters in the world. A world-scale accounting of the soul. Or: assessments concerning the future of the world.

("What is written (Numbers 21): 'Therefore they that speak in proverbs say, etc.'? 'They that speak'—these are those who rule over their inclination. 'Come to Cheshbon'—come and let us reckon the world's reckoning: the loss of a mitzvah against its reward, and the reward of a transgression against its loss, 'it shall be built and established'—if you do so" - Bava Batra 78b)
