Aye, and Prodicus the wise expresses himself to the like effect concerning Virtue in the essay On Heracles that he recites to throngs of listeners. This, so far as I remember, is how he puts it: When Heracles was passing from boyhood to youth’s estate, wherein the young, now becoming their own masters, show whether they will approach life by the path of virtue or the path of vice, he went out into a quiet place, 2.1.22. and sat pondering which road to take. And there appeared two women of great stature making towards him. The one was fair to see and of high bearing; and her limbs were adorned with purity, her eyes with modesty; sober was her figure, and her robe was white. The other was plump and soft, with high feeding. Her face was made up to heighten its natural white and pink, her figure to exaggerate her height. Open-eyed was she; and dressed so as to disclose all her charms. Now she eyed herself; anon looked whether any noticed her; and often stole a glance at her own shadow. 2.1.23. When they drew nigh to Heracles, the first pursued the even tenor of her way: but the other, all eager to outdo her, ran to meet him, crying: Heracles, I see that you are in doubt which path to take towards life. Make me your friend; follow me, and I will lead you along the pleasantest and easiest road. You shall taste all the sweets of life; and hardship you shall never know. 2.1.24. First, of wars and worries you shall not think, but shall ever be considering what choice food or drink you can find, what sight or sound will delight you, what touch or perfume; what tender love can give you most joy, what bed the softest slumbers; and how to come by all these pleasures with least trouble. 2.1.25. And should there arise misgiving that lack of means may stint your enjoyments, never fear that I may lead you into winning them by toil and anguish of body and soul. Nay; you shall have the fruits of others’ toil, and refrain from nothing that can bring you gain. For to my companions I give authority to pluck advantage where they will. 2.1.26. Now when Heracles heard this, he asked, Lady, pray what is your name? My friends call me Happiness, she said, but among those that hate me I am nicknamed Vice. 2.1.27. Meantime the other had drawn near, and she said: I, too, am come to you, Heracles: I know your parents and I have taken note of your character during the time of your education. Therefore I hope that, if you take the road that leads to me, you will turn out a right good doer of high and noble deeds, and I shall be yet more highly honoured and more illustrious for the blessings I bestow. But I will not deceive you by a pleasant prelude: I will rather tell you truly the things that are, as the gods have ordained them. 2.1.28. For of all things good and fair, the gods give nothing to man without toil and effort. If you want the favour of the gods, you must worship the gods: if you desire the love of friends, you must do good to your friends: if you covet honour from a city, you must aid that city: if you are fain to win the admiration of all Hellas for virtue, you must strive to do good to Hellas : if you want land to yield you fruits in abundance, you must cultivate that land: if you are resolved to get wealth from flocks, you must care for those flocks: if you essay to grow great through war and want power to liberate your friends and subdue your foes, you must learn the arts of war from those who know them and must practise their right use: and if you want your body to be strong, you must accustom your body to be the servant of your mind, and train it with toil and sweat. 2.1.29. And Vice, as Prodicus tells, answered and said: Heracles, mark you how hard and long is that road to joy, of which this woman tells? but I will lead you by a short and easy road to happiness. And Virtue said: 2.1.30. What good thing is thine, poor wretch, or what pleasant thing dost thou know, if thou wilt do nought to win them? Thou dost not even tarry for the desire of pleasant things, but fillest thyself with all things before thou desirest them, eating before thou art hungry, drinking before thou art thirsty, getting thee cooks, to give zest to eating, buying thee costly wines and running to and fro in search of snow in summer, to give zest to drinking; to soothe thy slumbers it is not enough for thee to buy soft coverlets, but thou must have frames for thy beds. For not toil, but the tedium of having nothing to do, makes thee long for sleep. Thou dost rouse lust by many a trick, when there is no need, using men as women: thus thou trainest thy friends, waxing wanton by night, consuming in sleep the best hours of day. 2.1.31. Immortal art thou, yet the outcast of the gods, the scorn of good men. Praise, sweetest of all things to hear, thou hearest not: the sweetest of all sights thou beholdest not, for never yet hast thou beheld a good work wrought by thyself. Who will believe what thou dost say? who will grant what thou dost ask? Or what sane man will dare join thy throng? While thy votaries are young their bodies are weak, when they wax old, their souls are without sense; idle and sleek they thrive in youth, withered and weary they journey through old age, and their past deeds bring them shame, their present deeds distress. Pleasure they ran through in their youth: hardship they laid up for their old age. 2.1.32. But I company with gods and good men, and no fair deed of god or man is done without my aid. I am first in honour among the gods and among men that are akin to me: to craftsmen a beloved fellow-worker, to masters a faithful guardian of the house, to servants a kindly protector: good helpmate in the toils of peace, staunch ally in the deeds of war, best partner in friendship. 2.1.33. To my friends meat and drink bring sweet and simple enjoyment: for they wait till they crave them. And a sweeter sleep falls on them than on idle folk: they are not vexed at awaking from it, nor for its sake do they neglect to do their duties. The young rejoice to win the praise of the old; the elders are glad to be honoured by the young; with joy they recall their deeds past, and their present well-doing is joy to them, for through me they are dear to the gods, lovely to friends, precious to their native land. And when comes the appointed end, they lie not forgotten and dishonoured, but live on, sung and remembered for all time. O Heracles, thou son of goodly parents, if thou wilt labour earnestly on this wise, thou mayest have for thine own the most blessed happiness. 2.1.34. Such, in outline, is Prodicus’ story of the training of Heracles by Virtue; only he has clothed the thoughts in even finer phrases than I have done now. But anyhow, Aristippus, it were well that you should think on these things and try to show some regard for the life that lies before you. |

For this reason it is written and ordained on the heavenly tables that a man should not lie with his father's wife, and should not uncover his father's skirt, for this is unclean: 33.10. they shall surely die together, the man who lieth with his father's wife and the woman also, for they have wrought uncleanness on the earth. 33.11. And there shall be nothing unclean before our God in the nation which He hath chosen for Himself as a possession. 33.12. And again, it is written a second time: "Cursed he be who lieth with the wife of his father, for he hath uncovered his father's shame"; and all the holy ones of the Lord said "So be it; so be it." 34.15. And the sons of Jacob slaughtered a kid, and dipped the coat of Joseph in the blood, and sent (it) to Jacob their father on the tenth of the seventh month. 34.16. And he mourned all that night, for they had brought it to him in the evening, and he became feverish with mourning for his death, and he said: "An evil beast hath devoured Joseph"; |

Nam quodHerculem Prodicus dicit, ut est apud Xenophontem, cum primum pubesceret, quod tempus a natura ad deligendum, quam quisque viam vivendi sit ingressurus, datum est, exisse in solitudinem atque ibi sedentem diu secum multumque dubitasse, cum duas cerneret vias, unam Voluptatis, alteram Virtutis, utram ingredi melius esset, hoc Herculi Iovis satu edito potuit fortasse contingere, nobis non item, qui imitamur, quos cuique visum est, atque ad eorum studia institutaque impellimur; plerumque autem parentium praeceptis imbuti ad eorum consuetudinem moremque deducimur; alii multitudinis iudicio feruntur, quaeque maiori parti pulcherrima videntur, ea maxime exoptant; non nulli tamen sive felicitate quadam sive bonitate naturae sine parentium disciplina rectam vitae secuti sunt viam. | 1.118. For we cannot all have the experience of Hercules, as we find it in the words of Prodicus in Xenophon; "When Hercules was just coming into youth's estate (the time which Nature has appointed unto every man for choosing the path of life on which he would enter), he went out into a desert place. And as he saw two paths, the path of Pleasure and the path of Virtue, he sat down and debated long and earnestly which one it were better for him to take." This might, perhaps, happen to a Hercules, "scion of the seed of Jove"; but it cannot well happen to us; for we copy each the model he fancies, and we are constrained to adopt their pursuits and vocations. But usually, we are so imbued with the teachings of our parents, that we fall irresistibly into their manners and customs. Others drift with the current of popular opinion and make especial choice of those callings which the majority find most attractive. Some, however, as the result either of some happy fortune or of natural ability, enter upon the right path of life, without parental guidance. |

38. Cicero, On The Nature of The Gods, 1.45, 1.85 (2nd cent. BCE - 1st cent. BCE) Tagged with subjects: •warren, james Found in books: Long (2019) 71 | 1.45. We have then a preconception of such a nature that we believe the gods to be blessed and immortal. For nature, which bestowed upon us an idea of the gods themselves, also engraved on our minds the belief that they are eternal and blessed. If this is so, the famous maxim of Epicurus truthfully enunciates that 'that which is blessed and eternal can neither know trouble itself nor cause trouble to another, and accordingly cannot feel either anger or favour, since all such things belong only to the weak.' "If we sought to attain nothing else beside piety in worshipping the gods and freedom from superstition, what has been said had sufficed; since the exalted nature of the gods, being both eternal and supremely blessed, would receive man's pious worship (for what is highest commands the reverence that is its due); and furthermore all fear of the divine power or divine anger would have been banished (since it is understood that anger and favour alike are excluded from the nature of a being at once blessed and immortal, and that these being eliminated we are menaced by no fears in regard to the powers above). But the mind strives to strengthen this belief by trying to discover the form of god, the mode of his activity, and the operation of his intelligence. 1.85. Well then, if the gods do not possess the appearance of men, as I have proved, nor some such form as that of the heavenly bodies, as you are convinced, why do you hesitate to deny their existence? You do not dare to. Well, that is no doubt wise — although in this matter it is not the public that you fear, but the gods themselves: I personally am acquainted with Epicureans who worship every paltry image, albeit I am aware that according to some people's view Epicurus really abolished the gods, but nominally retained them in order not to offend the people of Athens. Thus the first of his selected aphorisms or maxims, which you call the Kyriai Doxai, runs, I believe, thus: That which is blessed and immortal neither experiences trouble nor causes it to anyone. Now there are people who think that the wording of this maxim was intentional, though really it was due to the author's inability to express himself clearly; their suspicion does an injustice to the most guileless of mankind. |

For, as he had abandoned the chief authority in Egypt, which he might have had as the grandson of the reigning king, on account of the iniquities which were being perpetrated in that country, and by reason of his nobleness of soul and of the greatness of his spirit, and the natural detestation of wickedness, scorning and rejecting all the hopes which he might have conceived from those who had adopted him, it seemed good to the Ruler and Governor of the universe to recompense him with the sovereign authority over a more populous and more powerful nation, which he was about to take to himself out of all other nations and to consecrate to the priesthood, that it might for ever offer up prayers for the whole universal race of mankind, for the sake of averting evil from them and procuring them a participation in blessings. 1.150. And when he had received this authority, he did not show anxiety, as some persons do, to increase the power of his own family, and promote his sons (for he had two 1.151. for he kept one most invariable object always steadily before him, namely, that of benefiting those who were subjected to his authority, and of doing everything both in word and deed, with a view to their advantage, never omitting any opportunity of doing anything that might tend to their prosperity. 1.152. Therefore he alone of all the persons who have ever enjoyed supreme authority, neither accumulated treasures of silver and gold, nor levied taxes, nor acquired possession of houses, or property, or cattle, or servants of his household, or revenues, or anything else which has reference to magnificence and superfluity, although he might have acquired an unlimited abundance of them all. 1.153. But as he thought it a token of poverty of soul to be anxious about material wealth, he despised it as a blind thing, but he honoured the far-sighted wealth of nature, and was as great an admirer as any one in the world of that kind of riches, as he showed himself to be in his clothes, and in his food, and in his whole system and manner of life, not indulging in any theatrical affectation of pomp and magnificence, but cultivating the simplicity and unpretending affable plainness of a private individual, but a sumptuousness which was truly royal, in those things which it is becoming for a ruler to desire and to abound in; 1.154. and these things are, temperance, and fortitude, and continence, and presence of mind, and acuteness, and knowledge, and industry, and patience under evil, and contempt of pleasure, and justice, and exhortations to virtue and blame, and lawful punishment of offenders, and, on the contrary, praise and honour to those who did well in accordance with law. 1.155. Therefore, as he had utterly discarded all desire of gain and of those riches which are held in the highest repute among men, God honoured him, and gave him instead the greatest and most perfect wealth; and this is the Wealth{2}{the text here is very corrupt.} of all the earth and sea, and of all the rivers, and of all the other elements, and all combinations whatever; for having judged him deserving of being made a partaker with himself in the portion which he had reserved for himself, he gave him the whole world as a possession suitable for his heir: 1.156. therefore, every one of the elements obeyed him as its master, changing the power which it had by nature and submitting to his commands. And perhaps there was nothing wonderful in this; for if it be true according to the proverb, --"That all the property of friends is common;" 1.157. for God possesses everything and is in need of nothing; but the good man has nothing which is properly his own, no, not even himself, but he has a share granted to him of the treasures of God as far as he is able to partake of them. And this is natural enough; for he is a citizen of the world; on which account he is not spoken of as to be enrolled as a citizen of any particular city in the habitable world, since he very appropriately has for his inheritance not a portion of a district, but the whole world. 1.158. What more shall I say? Has he not also enjoyed an even greater communion with the Father and Creator of the universe, being thought unworthy of being called by the same appellation? For he also was called the god and king of the whole nation, and he is said to have entered into the darkness where God was; that is to say, into the invisible, and shapeless, and incorporeal world, the essence, which is the model of all existing things, where he beheld things invisible to mortal nature; for, having brought himself and his own life into the middle, as an excellently wrought picture, he established himself as a most beautiful and Godlike work, to be a model for all those who were inclined to imitate him. 1.159. And happy are they who have been able to take, or have even diligently laboured to take, a faithful copy of this excellence in their own souls; for let the mind, above all other parts, take the perfect appearance of virtue, and if that cannot be, at all events let it feel an unhesitating and unvarying desire to acquire that appearance; 1.160. for, indeed, there is no one who does not know that men in a lowly condition are imitators of men of high reputation, and that what they see, these last chiefly desire, towards that do they also direct their own inclinations and endeavours. Therefore, when the chief of a nation begins to indulge in luxury and to turn aside to a delicate and effeminate life, then the whole of his subjects, or very nearly the whole, carry their desire for indulging the appetites of the belly and the parts below the belly beyond all reasonable bounds, except that there may be some persons who, through the natural goodness of their disposition, have a soul far removed from treachery, being rather merciful and kind. 1.161. If, on the other hand, the chief of a people adopts a more austere and dignified course of life, then even those of his subjects, who are inclined to be very incontinent, change and become temperate, hastening, either out of fear or out of shame, to give him an idea that they are devoted to the same pursuits and inclinations that he is; and, in fact, the lower orders will never, no, nor will mad men even, reject the customs and habits of their superiors: 1.162. but, perhaps, since Moses was also destined to be the lawgiver of his nation, he was himself long previously, through the providence of God, a living and reasonable law, since that providence appointed him to the lawgiver, when as yet he knew nothing of his appointment. |

"The place of stoning was twice a man's height. One of the witnesses pushed him by the hips, [so that] he was overturned on his heart. He was then turned on his back. If that caused his death, he had fulfilled [his duty]; but if not, the second witness took a stone and threw it on his chest. If he died thereby, he had done [his duty]; but if not, he [the criminal] was stoned by all Israel, for it is says: “The hand of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people” (Deut. 17:7). All who are stoned are [afterwards] hanged, according to Rabbi Eliezer. But the sages say: “Only the blasphemer and the idolater are hanged.” A man is hanged with his face towards the spectators, but a woman with her face towards the gallows, according to Rabbi Eliezer. But the sages say: a man is hanged, but not a woman. Rabbi Eliezer said to them: “But did not Shimon ben Shetah hang women at ashkelon?” They said: “[On that occasion] he hanged eighty women, even though two must not be tried on the same day. How is he hanged? The post is sunk into the ground with a [cross-] piece branching off [at the top] and he brings his hands together one over the other and hangs him up [thereby]. R. Jose said: the post is leaned against the wall, and he hangs him up the way butchers do. He is immediately let down. If he is left [hanging] over night, a negative command is thereby transgressed, for it says, “You shall not let his corpse remain all night upon the tree, but you must bury him the same day because a hanged body is a curse against god” (Deut. 21:23). As if to say why was he hanged? because he cursed the name [of god]; and so the name of Heaven [God] is profaned.", |

Ostensibly, the two clauses of the i baraita /i are b difficult, /b as they contradict b each other, /b since the first clause states that slaughter with a blade that is attached is valid and the latter clause states that slaughter is not valid. b Rather, /b must one b not conclude from it /b that there is b a difference between /b a case where the blade was b attached from the outset and /b a case where the blade was b detached and ultimately he reattached it? /b The Gemara affirms: Indeed, b learn from it. /b ,§ b The Master said: /b In the case of b one who slaughters with a mechanism /b of a wheel with a knife attached to it, b his slaughter is valid. /b The Gemara asks: b But isn’t it taught /b in a i baraita /i that b his slaughter is not valid? /b The Gemara answers: This contradiction is b not difficult. This /b i baraita /i , which rules that the slaughter is valid, is b in /b a case where the knife was attached to b a potter’s wheel, /b whose movement is generated by the potter pressing on a pedal. Since the slaughter was performed by the force of the person’s actions, the slaughter is valid. b That /b i baraita /i , which rules that the slaughter is not valid, is b in /b a case where the knife was attached to b a waterwheel. /b Since the slaughter was not performed by the force of the person’s actions, the slaughter is not valid., b And if you wish, say /b instead: The rulings of both b this /b i baraita /i b and that /b i baraita /i are b in /b a case where the knife was attached to b a waterwheel, and /b the contradiction is b not difficult. This /b i baraita /i , which rules that the slaughter is valid, is in a case where the movement of the slaughter was generated b by primary force, /b as the person releases the water that turns the wheel, and on that initial turn of the wheel the knife slaughters the animal. b That /b i baraita /i , which rules that the slaughter is not valid, is in a case where the slaughter was generated b by secondary force, /b as the knife slaughters the animal on the second turn of the wheel., b And /b this is b like that which Rav Pappa says: /b In the case of b a certain /b person b who bound another and diverted a flow [ i bidka /i ] of water upon him and he died, /b the one who diverted the water is b liable /b for his murder. b What is the reason? /b It is because those were b his arrows that were effective in his /b murder. b And this matter /b applies in a case where he killed the other person b by primary force, /b as the person was proximate to him and was directly drowned by the water. b But /b if the person was further away and was killed b by secondary force /b after the water flowed on its own, it is not by his direct action; rather, b it is merely an indirect /b action, and he is exempt.,§ b Rav sat behind Rabbi Ḥiyya, and Rabbi Ḥiyya /b sat b before Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi, b and Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi b sat and said: From where /b is it derived b that slaughter is /b performed specifically b with /b a blade that is b detached? /b It is derived from a verse, b as it is stated: /b “And Abraham stretched forth his hand b and took the knife to slaughter /b his son” (Genesis 22:10). b Rav said to Rabbi Ḥiyya: What is he saying? /b Rabbi Ḥiyya b said to /b Rav: b He is saying /b an incorrect reason, comparable to the letter b i vav /i that is written on /b the rough surface of b a tree trunk [ i a’ufta /i ]. /b The Gemara asks: b But didn’t /b Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi b say a verse /b as proof for his statement? The Gemara answers: b The verse teaches us the diligence of Abraham, /b who had a knife prepared to slaughter Isaac. It does not teach any i halakha /i concerning ritual slaughter.,§ Apropos the issue of slaughter with a detached blade, b Rava said: /b It is b obvious to me /b that concerning an item that was b detached and ultimately one attached it, /b with regard b to the matter of idol worship /b its halakhic status b is /b that of b a detached /b item, b as the Master says: One who bows to his house has rendered it forbidden /b as an object of idol worship. b And if it enters your mind /b to say that its halakhic status b is /b that of an b attached /b item, it is written with regard to idolatry: b “Their gods, upon the high mountains” /b (Deuteronomy 12:2), from which it is derived: b But the mountains are not their gods, /b as items attached to the ground are never rendered forbidden as objects of idol worship. The halakhic status of a house built from stones that were detached is that of a detached item.,With regard b to the matter of rendering seeds susceptible /b to ritual impurity, there b is /b a dispute between b i tanna’im /i , as we learned /b in a mishna ( i Makhshirin /i 4:3): In the case of b one who places a bowl on the wall /b while it is raining b so that /b the bowl b will be rinsed /b with the rainwater, if the water from the bowl then falls onto produce, b that is under /b the rubric of the verse: “But b when /b water b is placed /b upon the seed” (Leviticus 11:38). The water has the halakhic status of a liquid that he poured of his own volition on fruit and seeds. Consequently, it renders them susceptible to ritual impurity. But if he placed the bowl there b so that the wall will not be damaged, it is not under /b the rubric of the verse “but b when /b water b is placed /b upon the seed.” Since he had no intent to use the water, it is not considered to have entered the bowl of his own volition, and it does not render produce susceptible to impurity., b This /b mishna b itself /b is b difficult, /b as the inferences from the first clause and the latter clause are contradictory. In the first clause b you said: /b In the case of one who places a bowl on the wall b so that /b the bowl b will be rinsed /b with the rainwater, b that is under /b the rubric of the verse “but b when /b water b is placed /b upon the seed,” and the water renders produce susceptible to impurity. By inference, if he placed the bowl b so that the wall will be rinsed /b by means of the bowl, b that is not under /b the rubric of the verse “but b when /b water b is placed /b upon the seed.” That water would not render produce susceptible to impurity, because the intent was for the water to rinse the wall, which is an item attached to the ground., b And then /b the mishna b teaches /b in the latter clause: If he placed the bowl b so that the wall will not be damaged, it is not under /b the rubric of the verse: “But b when /b water b is placed /b upon the seed.” By inference, if he placed the bowl b so that the wall will be rinsed, that is under /b the rubric of the verse: “But b when /b water b is placed /b upon the seed,” as a wall has the status of a detached item, since it was built from stones that were detached., b Rabbi Elazar said: /b This mishna is b disjointed; /b the i tanna /i b who taught this /b first clause b did not teach that /b second clause. There is a tannaitic dispute whether the status of a wall that is built from detached stones is that of an attached item or a detached item. b Rav Pappa said: The entire /b mishna b is /b the opinion of b one i tanna /i : This /b first clause is b in /b the case of b the wall of a cave, /b which is attached from the outset; b that /b latter clause is b in /b the case of b the wall of a building, /b which is built from stones that were detached from the ground., b And this /b is what the mishna b is saying: /b In the case of b one who places a bowl on the wall so that /b the bowl b will be rinsed /b with the rainwater, b that is under /b the rubric of the verse “but b when /b water b is placed /b upon the seed,” and the water renders produce susceptible to impurity. By inference, if he placed the bowl b so that the wall will be rinsed /b by means of the bowl, b that is not under /b the rubric of the verse “but b when /b water b is placed /b upon the seed.”, b In what /b case b is this statement said? /b It is said b in /b the case of b the wall of a cave, /b which was always attached to the ground. b But in /b the case of b the wall of a building, /b whose stones were detached and subsequently reattached, if he places the bowl b so that the wall will not be damaged, /b that b is when /b it is b not under /b the rubric of the verse “but b when /b water b is placed /b upon the seed.” b But /b if he places the bowl b so that the wall will be rinsed, that is under /b the rubric of the verse “but b when /b water b is placed /b upon the seed.”, b Rava raises a dilemma: /b |

As it is written: “Cut off [ i gozi /i ] your hair and cast it away” /b (Jeremiah 7:29), which is interpreted as a reference to the vow of a nazirite, who must cut off his hair at the end of his term of naziriteship., b And Rabbi Elazar says: To what is a fetus in its mother’s womb comparable? /b It is comparable b to a nut placed in a basin /b full b of water, /b floating on top of the water. If b a person puts his finger on top of /b the nut, b it sinks /b either b in this direction or in that direction. /b ,§ b The Sages taught /b in a i baraita /i : During b the first three months /b of pregcy, the b fetus resides in the lower compartment /b of the womb; in the b middle /b three months, the b fetus resides in the middle compartment; /b and during the b last /b three months of pregcy the b fetus resides in the upper compartment. And once its time to emerge arrives, it turns upside down and emerges; and this is /b what causes b labor pains. /b ,With regard to the assertion that labor pains are caused by the fetus turning upside down, the Gemara notes: b And this is /b the explanation for b that which we learned /b in a i baraita /i : b The labor pains experienced by /b a woman who gives birth to b a female are greater than /b those b experienced by /b a woman who gives birth to b a male. /b The Gemara will explain this below., b And Rabbi Elazar says: What is the verse /b from which it is derived that a fetus initially resides in the lower part of the womb? b “When I was made in secret, and I was woven together in the lowest parts of the earth” /b (Psalms 139:15). Since it b is not stated: I resided /b in the lowest parts of the earth, b but rather: “I was woven together /b in the lowest parts of the earth,” this teaches that during the initial stage of a fetus’s development, when it is woven together, its location is in the lower compartment of the womb.,The Gemara asks: b What is different /b about b the labor pains experienced by /b a woman who gives birth to b a female, /b that they b are greater than those experienced by /b a woman who gives birth to b a male? /b The Gemara answers: b This /b one, a male fetus, b emerges in the manner in which it engages in intercourse. /b Just as a male engages in intercourse facing downward, so too, it is born while facing down. b And that /b one, a female fetus, b emerges in the manner in which it engages in intercourse, /b i.e., facing upward. Consequently, b that /b one, a female fetus, b turns its face around /b before it is born, b but this /b one, a male fetus, b does not turn its face around /b before it is born.,§ b The Sages taught /b in a i baraita /i : During b the first three months /b of pregcy, b sexual intercourse is difficult /b and harmful b for the woman and is also difficult for the offspring. /b During the b middle /b three months, intercourse is b difficult for the woman but is beneficial for the offspring. /b During the b last /b three months, sexual intercourse is b beneficial for the woman and beneficial for the offspring; as a result of it the offspring is found to be strong and fair skinned. /b ,The Sages b taught /b in a i baraita /i : With regard to b one who engages in intercourse /b with his wife b on the ninetieth day /b of her pregcy, b it is as though he spills /b her b blood. /b The Gemara asks: b How does one know /b that it is the ninetieth day of her pregcy? b Rather, Abaye says: One should go ahead and engage in intercourse /b with his wife even if it might be the ninetieth day, b and /b rely on God to prevent any ensuing harm, as the verse states: b “The Lord preserves the simple” /b (Psalms 116:6).,§ b The Sages taught: There are three partners in /b the creation of b a person: The Holy One, Blessed be He, and his father, and his mother. His father emits the white seed, from which /b the following body parts are formed: The b bones, /b the b sinews, /b the b nails, /b the b brain that is in its head, and /b the b white of the eye. His mother emits red seed, from which /b are formed the b skin, /b the b flesh, /b the b hair, and /b the b black of the eye. And the Holy One, Blessed be He, inserts into him a spirit, a soul, /b his b countece [ i ukelaster /i ], eyesight, hearing of the ear, /b the capability of b speech /b of b the mouth, /b the capability of b walking /b with b the legs, understanding, and wisdom. /b , b And when /b a person’s b time to depart from the world arrives, the Holy One, Blessed be He, retrieves His part, and He leaves the part of /b the person’s b father and mother before them. Rav Pappa said: This /b is in accordance with the adage b that people say: Remove the salt /b from a piece of meat, b and /b you may then b toss the meat to a dog, /b as it has become worthless.,§ b Rav Ḥina bar Pappa taught: What /b is the meaning of that b which is written: “Who does great deeds beyond comprehension, wondrous deeds without number” /b (Job 9:10)? b Come and see that the attribute of flesh and blood is unlike the attribute of the Holy One, Blessed be He. The attribute of flesh and blood /b is that if one b puts an article in a flask, /b even if the flask is b tied and its opening /b faces b upward, it is uncertain whether /b the item b is preserved /b from getting lost, b and it is uncertain whether it is not preserved /b from being lost. b But the Holy One, Blessed be He, forms the fetus in a woman’s open womb, and its opening /b faces b downward, and /b yet the fetus b is preserved. /b , b Another matter /b that demonstrates the difference between the attributes of God and the attributes of people is that when b a person places his articles on a scale /b to be measured, b the heavier /b the item b is, /b the more b it descends. But /b when b the Holy One, Blessed be He, /b forms a fetus, b the heavier the offspring gets, /b the more b it ascends upward /b in the womb., b Rabbi Yosei HaGelili taught: What /b is the meaning of that b which is written: “I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and that my soul knows very well” /b (Psalms 139:14)? b Come and see that the attribute of flesh and blood is unlike the attribute of the Holy One, Blessed be He. The attribute of flesh and blood /b is that when b a person plants seeds /b of different species b in /b one b garden bed, each and every one /b of the seeds b emerges /b as a grown plant b according to its species. But the Holy One, Blessed be He, forms the fetus in a woman’s womb, and all of /b the seeds, i.e., those of both the father and the mother, b emerge /b when the offspring is formed b as one /b sex., b Alternatively, /b when b a dyer puts herbs in a cauldron [ i leyora /i ], they all emerge as one color /b of dye, b whereas the Holy One, Blessed be He, forms the fetus in a woman’s womb, /b and b each and every one /b of the seeds b emerges as its own type. /b In other words, the seed of the father form distinct elements, such as the white of the eye, and the seed of the mother forms other elements, such as the black of the eye, as explained above., b Rav Yosef taught: What /b is the meaning of that b which is written: /b “And on that day you shall say: b I will give thanks to You, Lord, for You were angry with me; Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me” /b (Isaiah 12:1)? b With regard to what /b matter b is the verse speaking? /b ,It is referring, for example, b to two people who left /b their homes to go b on a business /b trip. b A thorn penetrated /b the body b of one of them, /b and he was consequently unable to go with his colleague. b He started blaspheming and cursing /b in frustration. b After a period of time, he heard that the ship of the other /b person b had sunk in the sea, /b and realized that the thorn had saved him from death. He then b started thanking /b God b and praising /b Him for his delivery due to the slight pain caused to him by the thorn. This is the meaning of the statement: I will give thanks to You, Lord, for You were angry with me. b Therefore, it is stated /b at the end of the verse: b “Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me.” /b , b And this /b statement b is /b identical to b that which Rabbi Elazar said: What /b is the meaning of that b which is written: /b “Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, b Who does wondrous things alone; and blessed be His glorious name forever” /b (Psalms 72:18–19)? What does it mean that God “does wondrous things alone”? It means that b even the one for whom the miracle was performed does not recognize the miracle /b that was performed for b him. /b , b Rabbi Ḥanina bar Pappa taught: What /b is the meaning of that b which is written: “You measure [ i zerita /i ] my going about [ i orḥi /i ] and my lying down [ i riv’i /i ], and are acquainted with all my ways” /b (Psalms 139:3)? This verse b teaches that a person is not created from the entire drop /b of semen, b but from its clear /b part. i Zerita /i can mean to winnow, while i orḥi /i and i riv’i /i can both be explained as references to sexual intercourse. Therefore the verse is interpreted homiletically as saying that God separates the procreative part of the semen from the rest. b The school of Rabbi Yishmael taught a parable: /b This matter is comparable b to a person who winnows /b grain b in the granary; he takes the food and leaves the waste. /b ,This is b in accordance with /b a statement b of Rabbi Abbahu, as Rabbi Abbahu raises a contradiction: It is written /b in one of King David’s psalms: b “For You have girded me [ i vatazreni /i ] with strength for battle” /b (II Samuel 22:40), without the letter i alef /i in i vatazreni /i ; b and it is written /b in another psalm: b “Who girds me [ i hame’azreni /i ] with strength” /b (Psalms 18:33), with an i alef /i in i hame’azreini /i . What is the difference between these two expressions? b David said before the Holy One, Blessed be He: Master of the Universe, You selected me [ i zeiritani /i ], /b i.e., You separated between the procreative part and the rest of the semen in order to create me, b and You have girded me [ i zeraztani /i ] with strength. /b , b Rabbi Abbahu taught: What /b is the meaning of that b which is written /b in Balaam’s blessing: b “Who has counted the dust of Jacob, or numbered the stock [ i rova /i ] of Israel” /b (Numbers 23:10)? The verse b teaches that the Holy One, Blessed be He, sits and counts the times that the Jewish people engage in intercourse [ i revi’iyyoteihem /i ], /b anticipating the time b when the drop from which the righteous person will be created will arrive. /b , b And /b it was b due to this matter /b that b the eye of wicked Balaam went blind. He said: Should /b God, b who is pure and holy, and whose ministers are pure and holy, peek at this matter? Immediately his eye was blinded /b as a divine punishment, b as it is written: “The saying of the man whose eye is shut” /b (Numbers 24:3)., b And this /b statement b is /b the same as that b which Rabbi Yoḥa said: What /b is the meaning of that b which is written, /b with regard to Leah’s conceiving Issachar: b “And he lay with her that night” /b (Genesis 30:16)? The verse b teaches that the Holy One, Blessed be He, contributed to that act. /b The manner in which God contributed to this act is derived from another verse, b as it is stated: “Issachar is a large-boned [ i garem /i ] donkey” /b (Genesis 49:14). This teaches that God directed Jacob’s b donkey /b toward Leah’s tent so that he would engage in intercourse with her, thereby b causing [ i garam /i ] /b Leah’s conceiving b Issachar. /b ,§ b Rabbi Yitzḥak says /b that b Rabbi Ami says: /b The sex of a fetus is determined at the moment of conception. If the b woman emits seed first, she gives birth to a male, /b and if the b man emits seed first, she gives birth to a female, as it is stated: “If a woman bears seed and gives birth to a male” /b (Leviticus 12:2)., b The Sages taught: At first, /b people b would say /b that if the b woman emits seed first she gives birth to a male, /b and if the b man emits seed first, she gives birth to a female. But the Sages did not explain /b from which verse this b matter /b is derived, b until Rabbi Tzadok came and explained /b that b it /b is derived from the following verse: b “These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan Aram, with his daughter Dinah” /b (Genesis 46:15). From the fact that the verse b attributes the males to the females, /b as the males are called: The sons of Leah, b and /b it attributes b the females to the males, /b in that Dinah is called: His daughter, it is derived that if the woman emits seed first she gives birth to a male, whereas if the man emits seed first, she bears a female.,This statement is also derived from the following verse: b “And the sons of Ulam were mighty men of valor, archers, and had many sons and sons’ sons” /b (I Chronicles 8:40). b Is it in a person’s power to have many sons and sons’ sons? Rather, because /b |

When it says: b But /b they b do not bring /b him b back /b to be judged with a claim b to find /b him b liable, /b this is b an acquittal that is /b also b a liability. /b The court does not bring the accused back to acquit him if this entails a liability to another.,The Gemara clarifies: b A liability for whom? /b There is no other litigant in cases of capital law. The Gemara answers: b This /b is b not difficult, /b this is to b the liability, /b i.e., the detriment, b of the blood redeemer, /b as he desires that the murderer be killed, and he will no longer be allowed to kill him. The Gemara questions this explanation: Is it reasonable that b due to the liability of the blood redeemer, we kill this one /b and do not reverse the verdict to acquit him even when there is a reason to do so? b And further, what /b is the meaning of the term: b Whether /b with a claim to exempt the accused, or b whether /b with a claim to find him liable? It is clear that this is referring to two separate matters, not to two types of acquittal. The Gemara comments: This is b difficult. /b ,The Gemara cites another explanation of how one can find a judge giving the item from one to another with regard to the clause of: He exempts a liable party. b Ravina said: /b It is possible in a case b where /b the one who lodged the claim b had in his possession /b an item belonging to the other litigant that functioned as b collateral /b for a debt, b and /b when the judge issued a verdict in favor of the other he b took /b the collateral b from him, /b thereby physically transferring it to the wrong party.,In the case from the mishna in tractate i Bekhorot /i : He b ruled /b that b a pure /b item is b impure, /b how could he cause a loss with his own hands? It is b where /b he b had /b the litigant’s ritually pure item b touch a creeping animal /b to emphasize that he believes it was already impure, and he thereby imparted impurity to it. In that mishna’s case of: He b ruled /b that b an impure /b item is b pure, /b how could he cause a loss with his own hands? It is b where /b he b mixed /b this impure produce of the litigant’s b with /b the litigant’s ritually pure b produce, /b and he thereby caused all of the produce to be considered impure.,§ The mishna teaches that in cases of b capital law, /b the court brings the accused back to be judged again with a claim to acquit him, but does not bring him back to be judged with a claim to find him liable. To explain the terms “innocent” and “righteous” in the verse: “And the innocent and the righteous you shall not slay” (Exodus 23:7), b the Sages taught: From where /b is it derived b that /b with regard to one who is b leaving the court /b having been found b liable, and someone said: I have /b the ability b to teach /b a reason to b acquit him, from where /b is it derived b that /b the court b brings /b the accused b back /b to be judged again? b The verse states: The innocent you shall not slay, /b and the accused may in fact be innocent., b And from where /b is it derived b that /b with regard to one who is b leaving the court, /b having been b acquitted, and someone says: I have /b the ability b to teach /b a reason to find b him liable, from where /b is it derived b that /b the court b does not bring /b the accused b back /b to be judged again? b The verse states: “The righteous you shall not slay,” /b and the accused was found righteous in his trial., b Rav Shimi bar Ashi says: And the opposite of this /b is the i halakha /i b with regard to one who entices /b others to engage in idol worship, b as it is written /b concerning him: b “Neither shall you spare, neither shall you conceal him” /b (Deuteronomy 13:9). He is brought back to court to find him liable, but not to acquit him. b Rav Kahana teaches /b this last i halakha /i citing a different verse concerning the enticer: b “But you shall kill him [ i harog tahargennu /i ]” /b (Deuteronomy 13:10). The repetition of the verb indicates that he is killed even in circumstances where transgressors of other prohibitions would not be., b Rabbi Zeira asked Rav Sheshet: From where /b is it derived that the i halakha /i concerning b those liable /b to be b exiled /b to a city of refuge for killing unintentionally is the same with regard to retrying a court case as the i halakha /i concerning one who killed intentionally, who is found liable to receive court-imposed capital punishment? Rav Sheshet answered: It is b derived /b from a verbal analogy employing the term b “murderer” /b stated with regard to one who kills intentionally (see Numbers 35:16) and the term b “murderer” /b stated with regard to one who kills unintentionally (see Numbers 35:19).,Rabbi Zeira asked Rav Sheshet: b From where /b is it derived that the i halakha /i concerning b those liable /b to receive forty b lashes /b is the same with regard to retrying a court case as the i halakha /i concerning one who killed intentionally, who is found liable to receive court-imposed capital punishment? Rav Sheshet answered: It is b derived /b from a verbal analogy employing the term b “wicked” /b stated with regard to one who kills intentionally (see Numbers 35:31) and the term b “wicked” /b stated with regard to those liable to receive lashes (see Deuteronomy 25:2).,The Gemara comments: b This is also taught /b in a i baraita /i ( i Tosefta /i 7:3): b From where /b is it derived that the i halakha /i concerning b those liable /b to be b exiled /b for killing unintentionally is the same with regard to retrying a court case as the i halakha /i concerning one who killed intentionally, who is found liable to receive court-imposed capital punishment? It is b derived /b from a verbal analogy employing the term b “murderer” /b stated with regard to one who kills intentionally and the term b “murderer” /b stated with regard to one who kills unintentionally. b From where /b is it derived that the i halakha /i concerning b those liable /b to receive forty b lashes /b is the same with regard to retrying a court case as the i halakha /i concerning one who killed intentionally, who is found liable to receive court-imposed capital punishment? It is b derived /b from a verbal analogy employing the term b “wicked” /b stated with regard to one who kills intentionally and the term b “wicked” /b stated with regard to those liable to receive lashes.,§ The mishna teaches concerning cases of capital law: b But /b the court b does not bring /b him b back /b to be judged with a claim b to find /b him b liable. Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Abba says /b that b Rabbi Yoḥa says: And this /b is the i halakha /i only in a case b where /b the judge b erred with regard to a matter /b for b which the Sadducees do not admit to its /b validity, i.e., he erred in a matter learned from tradition or established by the Sages. b But /b if the judge b erred in a matter /b for b which the Sadducees admit to its /b validity, i.e., a matter that is written explicitly in the Torah, b it is /b a topic that you could b go learn in a children’s school, /b and such an error negates the verdict and is reversed., b Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Abba asked of Rabbi Yoḥa: What is /b the i halakha /i in the case of a judge who b erred with regard to /b the judgment of b an adulterer and adulteress, /b by ruling that only the man is liable but not the woman? Rabbi Yoḥa b said to him: While your fire is burning, cut your squash and roast it, /b i.e., seize the opportunity to add this case to the principle I taught you earlier. It b was also stated: Rabbi Ami says /b that b Rabbi Yoḥa says: /b Concerning a judge who b erred with regard to an adulterer, /b the court b revokes /b the verdict.,The Gemara asks: b Rather, what are the circumstances /b where the court b does not revoke /b the acquittal? b Rabbi Abbahu says /b that b Rabbi Yoḥa says: /b In a case b where he erred /b and acquitted the adulterer who engaged in sexual intercourse b in an atypical manner, /b i.e., anal intercourse. The i halakha /i that this is considered sexual intercourse is not explicit in a verse. Therefore, if a court acquits one so accused, the verdict is not revoked.,§ The mishna teaches that in cases of b monetary law, all /b those present at the trial may teach a reason to exempt a litigant or to find him liable. In cases of capital law, all those present at the trial may teach a reason to acquit the accused, but not all present may teach a reason to find him liable. The Gemara asks: In capital cases, may b all /b those present teach a reason to acquit, b and even witnesses? /b The Gemara suggests: b Let us say /b that b the mishna /b is in accordance with the opinion of b Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Yehuda, and not /b in accordance with the opinion of b the Rabbis. /b ,The Gemara explains: b As it is taught /b in a i baraita /i : The verse states: b “But one witness shall not testify against any person /b that he die” (Numbers 35:30). A witness cannot state anything other than his testimony, b whether /b to provide a reason b to acquit /b the accused b or /b to provide a reason b to /b find him b liable; /b this is the opinion of the Rabbis. b Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Yehuda, says: /b A witness b may answer /b to provide a reason b to acquit, but /b a witness b may not answer /b to provide a reason b to /b find the accused b liable. /b The mishna here seems to be in accordance with the minority opinion of Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Yehuda., b Rav Pappa says: /b When the mishna refers to all those present at the trial, it is not referring to the witnesses but b to one of the students /b sitting before the court, b and /b therefore b all agree /b with the ruling of the mishna. |

74. Diogenes Laertius, Lives of The Philosophers, 10.117 (3rd cent. CE - 3rd cent. CE) Tagged with subjects: •warren, james Found in books: Long (2019) 74 | 10.117. Such are his views on celestial phenomena.But as to the conduct of life, what we ought to avoid and what to choose, he writes as follows. Before quoting his words, however, let me go into the views of Epicurus himself and his school concerning the wise man.There are three motives to injurious acts among men – hatred, envy, and contempt; and these the wise man overcomes by reason. Moreover, he who has once become wise never more assumes the opposite habit, not even in semblance, if he can help it. He will be more susceptible of emotion than other men: that will be no hindrance to his wisdom. However, not every bodily constitution nor every nationality would permit a man to become wise.Even on the rack the wise man is happy. He alone will feel gratitude towards friends, present and absent alike, and show it by word and deed. |

And thou didst separate one from the other, for the seventh part where the water had been gathered together could not hold them both. 6.51. And thou didst give Behemoth one of the parts which had been dried up on the third day, to live in it, where there are a thousand mountains; 6.52. but to Leviathan thou didst give the seventh part, the watery part; and thou hast kept them to be eaten by whom thou wilt, and when thou wilt. |
