‘Average-ones’ (beinonim), who are comprised of mundane and holy, are suspended in judgement until the Day of Atonement, which is like Noah’s ark. If they return in repentance, it accepts them, and they are written for life, and if not, they are written for death – with the others of whom it is stated: (Gen. 7:21) And all flesh perished... etc.

And average people, because there are, in them, precepts and sins, it is stated of them: (Gen. 6:19) And from every living thing, from all flesh... etc.... from every living thing... – from the aspect of merits,... from all flesh... – from the aspect of sins.
