Tzadik Ben Rasha

Ramban subsequently suggests that in some instances the tzadik may suffer because of his ancestry. This comment is challenging since the Gemara proposed and rejected it in favor of the previously mentioned answer of tzadik she’eino gamur.((R. Sperka (n185) notes this difficulty and offers a lengthy resolution which is beyond the scope of this essay.))

It is worth noting, however, that when Ramban offers his concise summary of his tzadik v’ra lo analysis, he omits this answer, focusing exclusively on tzadik she’eino gamur.
