Eli’s sons delayed the sacrifice of these offerings and thereby delayed the return of these women to their husbands and their fulfillment of the mitzva of procreation. Even though, according to this opinion, Eli’s sons did not actually engage in sexual relations with these women, the verse attributes that degree of severity to their conduct.,Eli’s sons also sinned in the b degradation of consecrated items, as it is written: “Before the fat was made burned, the priest’s servant came and said to the man who sacrificed: Hand over some flesh to roast for the priest, for he will not take cooked flesh from you, but raw. And if the man said to him: Let the fat be burnt first and then take as much as you want, then he would say: No, hand it over right now, or I will take it by force. The sin of the young men against the Lord was very great, for the men treated the Lord’s offerings with contempt” /b (I Samuel 2:15–17).,§ The i Tosefta /i continues with a discussion of the sins of the Jewish people over the generations: b Due to what /b reason b was /b the b First Temple destroyed? /b It was destroyed b due to /b the fact b that there were three matters /b that existed b in /b the First Temple: b Idol worship, forbidden sexual relations, and bloodshed. Idol worship, as it is written: “The bed is too short for stretching [ i mehistare’a /i ], /b and the cover is too narrow for gathering” (Isaiah 28:20)., b What is /b the meaning of: b “The bed is too short for stretching?” Rabbi Yonatan said: This bed is too short for two counterparts [ i re’im /i ] to dominate [ i mehistarer /i ]. /b i Mehistare’a /i is a contraction of i mehistarer re’im /i . It is inconceivable that there would be in one Temple both service of God and worship of the idol placed there by King Manasseh., b What /b is the meaning of: b And the cover [ i vehamasseikha /i ] is too narrow [ i tzara /i ] for gathering [ i kehitkannes /i ]? Rabbi Shmuel bar Naḥmani said /b that b when Rabbi Yonatan reached this verse, he wept /b and b said: For He about Whom it is written: “He gathers [ i kones /i ] waters of the sea together as a heap” /b (Psalms 33:7), b the idol [ i masseikha /i ] became a rival [ i tzara /i ]? /b In the homiletic interpretation, i masseikha /i is interpreted as idol and i tzara /i is interpreted as rival, as in the term used to describe the relationship between two women married to the same husband, i isha tzara /i .,With regard to b forbidden sexual relations, it is written: “The Lord says because the daughters of Zion are haughty and walk with outstretched necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go and making a tinkling with their feet” /b (Isaiah 3:16). br b Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, /b indicates a b tall /b woman walking b alongside /b a b short /b one so that the tall woman would stand out. br b And walk with outstretched necks, /b indicates b that they would walk with upright stature /b and carry themselves in an immodest way. br b And wanton eyes, /b indicates b that they would fill their eyes with blue eye shadow /b in order to draw attention to their eyes. br b Walking and mincing as they go, /b indicates b that they would walk /b in small steps, b heel to toe, /b so onlookers would notice them. br b Making a tinkling [ i te’akasna /i ] with their feet, Rabbi Yitzḥak said: /b This teaches b that they would bring myrrh and balsam and place /b them b in their shoes /b and would walk in the marketplaces of Jerusalem. b And once they approached /b a place where b young Jewish men /b were congregated, b they would stamp /b their feet on the ground b and splash /b the perfume b toward them and instill the evil inclination into them like venom of a viper [ i ke’eres bikhos /i ]. /b ,With regard to b bloodshed it is written: “Moreover, Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another” /b (II Kings 21:16)., b However, /b considering that the people during b the Second Temple /b period b were engaged in Torah /b study, observance of b mitzvot, and acts of kindness, /b and that they did not perform the sinful acts that were performed in the First Temple, b why was /b the Second Temple b destroyed? /b It was destroyed b due to /b the fact b that there was wanton hatred /b during that period. This comes b to teach you that /b the sin of b wanton hatred is equivalent to the three /b severe b transgressions: Idol worship, forbidden sexual relations and bloodshed. /b ,The Gemara continues: b They were wicked; however, they put their faith in the Holy One, Blessed be He. /b With that statement b we have come to /b the b First Temple /b era, about b which it is written: “Her chiefs judge for bribes, her priests give rulings for a fee, and her prophets divine for pay; yet they rely on the Lord, saying: The Lord is in our midst, no tragedy will overtake us” /b (Micah 3:11). At least the final portion of the verse was to their credit. b Therefore, the Holy One, Blessed be He, brought upon them three decrees corresponding to their three wicked sins, as it is stated: “Therefore, due to you Zion will be plowed as a field, Jerusalem will become heaps of ruins, and the Temple Mount will be a like a shrine in the woods” /b (Micah 3:12).,The Gemara asks: b And in the First Temple /b era b was there /b really b no baseless hatred? Isn’t it written: /b “Cry and wail, son of man, for this will befall my people, this will befall all the princes of Israel: b They will be cast before the sword together with my people, therefore strike the thigh” /b (Ezekiel 21:17)? b Rabbi Eliezer /b interpreted this verse and b said: These are people who eat and drink with each other, and stab each other with verbal barbs. /b Apparently, even those who were close were filled with hatred toward one another.,The Gemara answers: b That /b behavior b was /b found only among b the princes of Israel, as it is written: “Cry and wail, son of man, for this will befall my people”; and it was taught /b in a i baraita /i : b “Cry and wail, son of man, /b for this will befall my people”; one b might /b have thought that this unsavory trait was common b to all. /b Therefore, b the verse states: “This will befall all the princes of Israel.” /b It was only the leaders of the nation who harbored baseless hatred for each other; the people of the nation as a whole did not hate one another.,§ It was b Rabbi Yoḥa and Rabbi Elazar who both said: /b In the case of b the former, /b the people in the First Temple era, b whose sin was exposed /b and no attempt was made to disguise their conduct, the b end /b of b their /b punishment b was exposed, /b and the prophet informed them that they would return to their land in seventy years. In the case of b the latter, /b the people in the Second Temple era, b whose sin was not exposed; /b rather, they attempted to disguise their conduct, the b end /b of b their /b punishment b was not exposed. /b , b Rabbi Yoḥa said: The fingernails of the former are preferable to the belly of the latter. Reish Lakish said to him: On the contrary, the latter were superior; even though there is subjugation by the kingdoms, they are engaged in Torah study. /b Rabbi Yoḥa b said to /b Reish Lakish: b The Temple will prove /b that the former were superior, b as it /b was b restored to the former. /b The Second Temple was constructed after the destruction of the first. However, after the destruction of the Second Temple, b it /b was b not restored to the latter. /b Apparently, the former were superior to the latter.,Similarly, the Sages b asked Rabbi Elazar: Are the former greater or are the latter greater? He said to them: Look to the Temple /b and see if it has been restored, as it was to our predecessors. b Some say /b the exchange was slightly different: b He said to them: The Temple is your witness. /b The restoration of the Temple after the destruction of the First Temple, attests to the fact that the former generation was greater., b Reish Lakish was swimming in the Jordan River /b when b Rabba bar bar Ḥana came and gave him a hand /b to help him out. Reish Lakish b said to him: My God! I hate you /b Babylonians, b as it is written: “If she be a wall we will build a silver turret upon her, if she be a door we will cover her with boards of cedar” /b (Song of Songs 8:9). This is the meaning of the verse as it applies to the Jewish people: b Had you rendered yourselves /b a solid bloc b like a wall and all ascended /b to Eretz Yisrael b in the days of Ezra, you would have been likened to silver, which rot does not infest, /b in the sense that you would have merited experiencing the Divine Presence in all its glory. b Now that you ascended like doors, /b and only some of you came to Eretz Yisrael, b you are likened to cedar, which rot infests, /b and you merit experiencing only partial revelation of the Divine Presence.,The Gemara asks: b What /b rot infests b cedar? Ulla said: It is i sasmagor /i , /b a type of worm. The Gemara asks: b What /b does b i sasmagor /i /b have to do with the Divine Presence during the Second Temple era? b Rabbi Abba said: /b Just as little remains from a cedar tree infested by this worm, similarly, all that remained from the Divine Presence during the Second Temple period was a b Divine Voice, as it was taught /b in a i baraita /i : b After the last prophets Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi died, the Divine Spirit /b of prophetic revelation b departed from the Jewish people, and they were still utilizing a Divine Voice, /b which they heard as an echo of prophecy.,The Gemara asks: b And would Reish Lakish speak with Rabba bar bar Ḥana /b in public? b Just as Rabbi Elazar, who was the master of Eretz Yisrael /b in wisdom and character, b and /b nevertheless, b Reish Lakish would not speak with him /b in public, as Reish Lakish was sparing in his speech and extended friendship to only a select few prominent, righteous people, to the extent that b a person to whom Reish Lakish /b was seen b speaking in the marketplace, one would give him /b a loan and b do business /b with him b without witnesses; /b would he b have spoken with Rabba bar bar Ḥana? /b , b Rav Pappa said: Cast a man between them, /b and say that the incident did not involve Reish Lakish and Rabba bar bar Ḥana. It b was either Reish Lakish /b bathing in the river b and Ze’iri, /b the prominent Babylonian Sage, who extended him a hand, b or /b it was b Rabba bar bar Ḥana /b who was in the river b and Rabbi Elazar /b extended a hand to him. In any event, b when /b the Sage who heard what Reish Lakish said b came before Rabbi Yoḥa /b and related it, Rabbi Yoḥa b said to him: That is not the reason; even had they all ascended in the days of Ezra, the Divine Presence would not have rested in the Second Temple, as it is written: “God will enlarge Japheth, and dwell in the tents of Shem” /b (Genesis 9:27). |

The Gemara rejects this argument. b It is different there, as /b in any case “Sing aloud” b is the psalm of the day, /b either because it was an ordinary Thursday or because it was Rosh HaShana. However, there is no proof from here that in all uncertain cases they would recite the psalm for an ordinary weekday, as it is possible that they did not recite any psalm at all.,§ The Gemara expands on the topic of the daily psalms recited by the Levites. b It is taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi Yehuda said in the name of Rabbi Akiva: On the first /b day of the week, Sunday, b what /b psalm b would /b the Levites b recite? /b The psalm beginning with the phrase: b “The earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness” /b (Psalms 24:1), in commemoration of the first day of Creation, b because /b on that day b He acquired /b the world b and transferred /b it to man, b and /b He b was /b the only b ruler in His world, /b as the angels were not created until the second day., b On the second /b day of the week b what /b psalm b would /b the Levites b recite? /b The psalm that begins: b “Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised /b in the city of our God, His sacred mountain” (Psalms 48:2). This is b because /b on the second day of Creation b He separated His works, /b dividing between the upper waters and the lower waters, b and ruled over them /b as King; and this psalm speaks of Jerusalem as “The city of a great King” (Psalms 48:3)., b On the third /b day of the week b they would recite /b the psalm beginning: b “God stands in the congregation of God” /b (Psalms 82:1), b because /b on the third day of Creation b He revealed the land in His wisdom and /b thereby b prepared the world for His assembly /b that could now live on the dry land. b On the fourth /b day of the week b they would recite /b the psalm beginning: b “O Lord God, to Whom vengeance belongs” /b (Psalms 94:1), b because /b on the fourth day of Creation b He created the sun and the moon, and in the future He will punish /b and take vengeance upon b those who worship them. /b , b On the fifth /b day of the week the Levites b would recite /b the psalm beginning: b “Sing aloud to God our strength” /b (Psalms 81:2), b because /b on the fifth day of Creation b He created birds and fish to praise His name. On the sixth /b day of the week b they would recite /b the psalm beginning: b “The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty” /b (Psalms 93:1), b because /b on that day b He completed His labor and ruled over /b all of creation in full glory. b On the seventh /b day of the week, Shabbat, b they would recite /b the psalm beginning: b “A psalm, a song for the day of Shabbat” /b (Psalms 92:1), b as /b the future world will be b a day that is all Shabbat. /b , b Rabbi Neḥemya said: What did the Sages see /b that led them b to distinguish between these chapters, /b as they interpret the psalms recited on the six weekdays as referring to the past, whereas the psalm recited on Shabbat is referring to the future. b Rather, /b all of the psalms refer to the past. The first six are as explained above: b On the first /b day, the reason is b that He acquired /b the world b and transferred /b it to man, b and /b He b was /b the only b ruler in His world; on the second /b day, the reason is b that He separated His works and ruled over them /b as King; b on the third /b day, the reason is b that He revealed the land in His wisdom and /b thereby b prepared the world for His assembly. /b , b On the fourth /b day, the reason is b that He created the sun and the moon, and in the future He will punish those who worship them; on the fifth /b day, the reason is b that He created birds and fish to praise His name; on the sixth /b day, the reason is b that He completed His labor and ruled over /b all of creation. However, b on the seventh /b day, the reason is b that He rested /b from His work, as the phrase “A psalm, a song for the day of Shabbat” is referring to the first Shabbat of Creation.,The Gemara comments: b And /b these i tanna’im /i b disagree with /b regard to a statement b of Rav Ketina, as Rav Ketina said: The world will exist for six thousand years, and /b for b one /b thousand years it will be b destroyed, as it is stated: “And the Lord alone shall be exalted on that day” /b (Isaiah 2:11), and one day for God is a thousand years, as indicated in the verse: “For a thousand years in Your sight are but as yesterday when it is past” (Psalms 90:4). Rav Ketina’s statement is in accordance with the opinion of Rabbi Akiva. Conversely, b Abaye said: /b The world will be b destroyed /b for b two /b thousand years, b as it is stated: “After two days He will revive us” /b (Hosea 6:2). According to the opinion of Abaye that the destruction will be for two days, there is no connection between the future world and the day of Shabbat, which is only one day.,§ The Gemara further asks: When it came b to the additional offerings of Shabbat, what would /b the Levites b recite? Rav A bar Rava said /b that b Rav said: /b They would recite in accordance with the mnemonic b i hei /i , i zayin /i , i yod /i , i vav /i , i lamed /i , i kaf /i . /b They would divide the song of i Ha’azinu /i into six sections, each of which began with a letter of the mnemonic: “Give ear [ i ha’azinu /i ], you heavens” (Deuteronomy 32:1); “Remember [ i zekhor /i ] the days of old” (Deuteronomy 32:7); “He made him ride [ i yarkivehu /i ] on the high places of the earth” (Deuteronomy 32:13); “The Lord saw it [ i vayar /i ] and spurned” (Deuteronomy 32:19); “Were it not [ i lulei /i ] that I dread the enemy’s provocation” (Deuteronomy 32:27); “For i [ki] /i the Lord will judge His people” (Deuteronomy 32:36)., b And Rav Ḥa bar Rava said /b that b Rav said: In the manner that /b the verses of the song of i Ha’azinu /i b are divided here /b for the recitation of the additional offerings of Shabbat in the Temple, b so too are they divided /b when they are read b in the synagogue /b on Shabbat.,The Gemara asks another question: When it came b to the /b daily b afternoon offering on Shabbat, what would /b the Levites b recite? Rabbi Yoḥa said: “Then sang /b Moses” (Exodus 15:1), b and: “Who is like You” /b (Exodus 15:11), the two halves of the Song of the Sea, b and: “Then Israel sang /b this song” (Numbers 21:17), the entire Song of the Well., b A dilemma was raised before /b the Sages: Does b one recite all these /b sections of the song of i Ha’azinu /i b on each Shabbat, or perhaps on each and every Shabbat /b they would b recite one /b section? The Gemara suggests: b Come /b and b hear, as it is taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi Yosei said: By /b the time b that /b those who recite b the first /b set, i.e., the verses for the additional offerings brought on Shabbat, b recite /b it b once, /b those who recite b the second /b set, for the daily afternoon offering, would b repeat /b their cycle b twice, /b as the first set was comprised of six sections, whereas the second set included only three sections. b Learn from here /b that b each and every Shabbat they would recite /b only b one /b section. The Gemara concludes: Indeed, b learn from here /b that this is correct.,§ b Rav Yehuda bar Idi said /b that b Rabbi Yoḥa said: The Divine Presence traveled ten journeys, /b i.e., it left the Temple and Eretz Yisrael in ten stages at the time of the destruction of the First Temple, as derived b from verses. And corresponding to them the Sanhedrin was exiled /b in ten stages at the end of the Second Temple period and after the destruction of the Temple, and this is known b from tradition. /b ,The Gemara elaborates. b The Divine Presence traveled ten journeys, /b as derived b from verses. /b The ten journeys are: b From the Ark cover to the cherub; and from /b one b cherub to /b the other b cherub; and from /b the second b cherub to the threshold /b of the Sanctuary; b and from the threshold to the courtyard; and from the courtyard to the altar; and from the altar to the roof; and from the roof to the wall /b of the Temple Mount; b and from the wall to the city; and from the city to a mountain /b close to Jerusalem; b and from /b that b mountain to the wilderness; and from the wilderness it ascended and rested in its place /b in Heaven, isolated from humanity, b as it is stated: “I will go and return to My place” /b (Hosea 5:15).,The Gemara cites the sources for each of these stages: b From the Ark cover /b the Divine Presence traveled b to the cherub, /b and b from /b one b cherub to /b the other b cherub, and from the /b second b cherub to the threshold, as it is written /b with regard to Moses in the Tabernacle: b “And there I will meet with you, and I will speak to you from above the Ark cover, /b from between the two cherubs” (Exodus 25:22). b And it is written: “And He rode upon a cherub, and flew” /b (II Samuel 22:11), which indicates that the glory of the Divine Presence can rest upon one cherub. b And it is written: “And the glory of the God of Israel had ascended from the cherub, on which it was, to the threshold of the House” /b (Ezekiel 9:3), i.e., the Divine Presence moved from the cherub to the threshold., b And from the threshold /b of the Sanctuary the Divine Presence went b to the courtyard, as it is written: “And the House was filled with the cloud and the courtyard was full of the brightness of the Lord’s glory” /b (Ezekiel 10:4). b From the courtyard to the altar, as it is written: “I saw the Lord standing on the altar” /b (Amos 9:1). b And from the altar to the roof, as it is written: “It is better to dwell in a corner of the roof /b than in a house together with a contentious woman” (Proverbs 21:9). b From the roof to the wall, as it is written: “And behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumb line” /b (Amos 7:7). b From the wall to the city, as it is written: “The Lord’s voice cries to the city” /b (Micah 6:9)., b And from the city /b the Divine Presence arose b to the mountain /b nearest the Sanctuary, i.e., the Mount of Olives, b as it is written: “And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain, which is on the east side of the city” /b (Ezekiel 11:23). b And from the mountain to the wilderness, as it is written: “It is better to live in the wilderness /b than with a contentious and fretful woman” (Proverbs 21:19). b And from the wilderness it ascended and rested in its place /b in Heaven, b as it is written: “I will go and return to My place /b until they acknowledge their guilt” (Hosea 5:15)., b Rabbi Yoḥa said: /b For b six months the Divine Presence lingered in the wilderness, /b waiting b for the Jewish people, /b hoping that b perhaps they would repent /b and it would be able to return to its place. b When they did not repent, /b the Divine Presence b said: Let them /b despair and b be lost, as it is stated: “But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall have no way to flee, and their hope shall be the drooping of the soul” /b (Job 11:20). This concludes the discussion of the ten stages of the exile of the Divine Presence from the Holy of Holies., b And corresponding to /b these ten stages, b the Sanhedrin was exiled /b in ten stages at the end of the Second Temple period and after the destruction of the Temple, and this is known b from tradition: From the Chamber of Hewn Stone, /b its fixed seat in the Temple, b to i Ḥanut /i , /b literally, shop, a designated spot on the Temple Mount outside the Temple proper; b and from i Ḥanut /i to Jerusalem; and from Jerusalem to Yavne; /b |
