Mishlei - Proverbs 10:2 What Saves from Death?
וּ֝צְדָקָ֗ה תַּצִּ֥יל מִמָּֽוֶת׃
But righteousness saves from death.
And Rabbi Yitzḥak said: A person’s sentence is torn up on account of four types of actions. These are: Giving charity, crying out in prayer, a change of one’s name, and a change of one’s deeds for the better. An allusion may be found in Scripture for all of them: Giving charity, as it is written: “And charity delivers from death” (Proverbs 10:2)
