3. The מלאך המות teaches three things

The מלאך המות (Angel of Death) told R’ Yehoshua ben Levi three things:

Do not take your shirt in the morning from the hand of the butler.

Do not have your hands washed by someone who has not washed his own hands.

Do not stand in front of women when they are returning from a funeral, because the Angel of Death dances before them with his sword in hand and has permission to harm those he meets.
