Rabbi Azariah and Rabbi Jonathan in Rabbi Isaac's name taught that Eve's image was transmitted to the reigning beauties of each generation (setting the standard of beauty). says of David's comforter Abishag, "And the damsel was very fair" — , "yafah ad me'od" — which the Midrash interpreted to mean that she attained to Eve's beauty (as , "ad me'od", implies , Adam, and thus Eve). And says, "the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair" — , "me'od" — which the Midrash interpreted to mean that Sarai was even more beautiful than Eve. Reading the words, "And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh," in , Rabbi Johanan told that they tried to outbid each other for the right to enter Pharaoh's palace with Sarai. One prince said that he would give a hundred dinars for the right to enter the palace with Sarai, whereupon another bid two hundred dinars.
