It has become an important global form when needed to know the educational history of these peoples, through which it monitors the movements of their societies in social, economic and political aspects in general. and It also showed through the research that the concept of the epidemic and the disaster was affected and politically reflected through the events that the Jews lived in in the modern era before the establishment of (Israel). According to their description the reflection it represents on the aspects of life, our need came in our research to pause at this observation in Hebrew literature as one of the literatures that have documented this phenomenon throughout the ages, with a focus on its modern stage. Here, the issue of the epidemic and the disaster has taken a form of isolation and overlap, so that another matter is intended in its impact and effect equal to the strength of the epidemic or disaster, and in some cases the intended epidemic is specific; As a result of a sin or punishment that befell them for an act they committed, according to what is stated in the literature of the Old Testament and according to their comments and interpretations, or that the act of goodness is linked to them in their charity to avoid every epidemic that makes their lives threatened with annihilation
