For the young are not able to distinguish what is and what is not allegory, but whatever opinions are taken into the mind at that age are wont to prove |

"\"In the beginning of God's creating...\" - Six things preceded the creation of the world; some of them were created and some of them were decided to be created. The Torah and the Throne of Glory were created. How do we know the Torah was? As it says (Proverbs 8:22): \"God made me at the beginning of his way.\" How do we know the Throne of Glory was? As it says (Psalms 93:2): \"Your throne is established as of old etc.\" The Patriarchs, Israel, the Temple, and the name of the Messiah were decided to be created. How do we know the Patriarchs were? As it says (Hosea 9:10): \"Like grapes in the wilderness etc.\" How do we know Israel was? As it says (Psalms 74:2): \"Remember your congregation, whom you purchased from old.\" How do we know the Temple was? As it says (Jeremiah 17:12): \"Your throne of glory, on high from the beginning etc.\" How do we know the name of the Messiah was? As it says (Psalms 72:17): \"May his name exist forever etc. [his name shall be Yinnon as long as the sun].\" Rabbi Ahavah said in the name of Rabbi Ze'ira: Even repentance was, as it says (Psalms 90:2): \"Before the mountains were birthed,\" and at the same time (Psalms 90:3), \"You turned man to contrition etc.\" However, I do not know which was first--if the Torah preceded the Throne of Glory or the Throne of Glory preceded the Torah. Rabbi Abba Bar Cahana said: The Torah preceded the Throne of Glory, as it says (Proverbs 8:22): \"God made me at the beginning of his way, the first of his works of old.\" This is before that of which it is written (Psalms 93:2): \"Your throne is established as of old.\" Rabbi Hunna and Rabbi Yirmiyah in the name of Rabbi Shmuel the son of Rabbi Yitzchak said: The thought of Israel was before everything. This is like a king who was married to a woman and did not have a son. One time the king was in the market and said: \"Take this ink and pen for my son.\" They said: \"He does not have a son.\" He replied: \"Take them; the king must expect a son, because otherwise he would not command that the ink and pen be taken.\" Similarly, if there was no expectation of Israel receiving it after 26 generations, God would not have written in the Torah: \"Command the children of Israel\" or \"Speak to the children of Israel.\" Rabbi Bannai said: The world and its contents were only created in the merit of the Torah, as it says (Proverbs 3:19): \"God founded the world with wisdom etc.\" Rabbi Berachiyah said: In the merit of Moses, as it says (Deuteronomy 33:21): \"He saw a first part for himself.\" Rabbi Hunna said in the name of Rabbi Matanah: The world was created in the merit of three things--challah, tithes, and first fruits. The verse \"In the beginning God created\" refers to challah, as it says (Numbers 15:20): \"The beginning of your doughs.\" It also refers to tithes, as it says (Deuteronomy 18:4): \"The beginning of your grains.\" It also refers to first fruits, as it says (Exodus 23:19): \"The beginning of the fruits of the land.\"", 3.4. "Rabbi Shimeon Ben Yehotzadak asked Rabbi Shmuel Bar Nachman: Since I heard that you are a master of agadot, tell me from where was the light created? He answered: [the text] teaches that the Holy One of Blessing enveloped Himself [in it] as [one does with] a cloak, and made the splendor of His glory shine from one end of the world to the other. He told him this agadah in a whisper: he said to him - there is even a full verse [about it] 'He wears light as a cloak' (Ps. 104:2). [Rabbi Shmuel Bar Nachman said] And you are telling this to me in a whisper? This is surprising! He told him: Just as I heard it in a whisper, I'm telling you in a whisper. Said Rabbi Berachia in the name of Rabbi Itzchak: The light was created from the place of the Beit Hamikdash, since it is written 'And behold the glory of the God of Israel comes from the way of the East' (Ezekiel 43:2) and there is no His glory except the Beit Hamikdash, as you say: 'A throne of glory, on high from the beginning, the place of our sanctuary' (Jeremiah 17:12) etc.", 3.7. "Rabbi Judah bar Simon\tsaid: it does\tnot\tsay, ‘It was\tevening,’ but ‘And it was evening.’ Hence we derive that there was a time-system prior to this. Rabbi Abbahu said: This teaches us that God created worlds and destroyed them, saying, ‘This one\tpleases me;\tthose did not please me.’ Rabbi Pinhas said, Rabbi Abbahu derives this from the verse, ‘And God saw all that He had made, and behold it was very good,’ as if to say, ‘This one pleases me, those others did not please me.’ ", 27.1. "\"and god saw the evil of man was great\" it says: there is a person who's fortune is with wisdom and knowledge and skill, r yudan says the ability of the prophets is great for they compare a creation to its creator, as it says: i heard the voice of a man from inside the river. r yehuda the son of simon says i have a verse which is more logical than this as it says: and on the shape of a chair was the shape of a man standing above it. we expound on the verse above, that his fortune was with wisdom,this refers to the verse \"and god made the earth with wisdom\" ", 69.3. "... ... Rabbi Yocha said: The wicked, their existence depends on their gods. As it says \"And Pharaoh dreamt; and he was standing upon the river\" (Genesis 41:1). But the righteous, their G-d's existence depends on them. As it says \"Behold G-d stood upon him\" (Genesis 38:13). Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish said: The patriarchs they themselves were the Divine Chariot, As it says \"And G-d ascended from upon Abraham\" (Genesis 17:22). \"And G-d ascended from upon him\" and \"Behold G-d stood upon him\".", |

Trypho: We heard you adducing this consideration a little ago, and we have given it attention: for, to tell the truth, it is worthy of attention; and that answer which pleases most- namely, that so it seemed good to Him- does not satisfy me. For this is ever the shift to which those have recourse who are unable to answer the question. Justin: Since I bring from the Scriptures and the facts themselves both the proofs and the inculcation of them, do not delay or hesitate to put faith in me, although I am an uncircumcised man; so short a time is left you in which to become proselytes. If Christ's coming shall have anticipated you, in vain you will repent, in vain you will weep; for He will not hear you. 'Break up your fallow ground,' Jeremiah has cried to the people, 'and sow not among thorns. Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and circumcise the foreskin of your heart.' Jeremiah 4:3 Do not sow, therefore, among thorns, and in untilled ground, whence you can have no fruit. Know Christ; and behold the fallow ground, good, good and fat, is in your hearts. 'For, behold, the days come, says the Lord, that I will visit all them that are circumcised in their foreskins; Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the sons of Moab. For all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in their hearts.' Do you see how that God does not mean this circumcision which is given for a sign? For it is of no use to the Egyptians, or the sons of Moab, or the sons of Edom. But though a man be a Scythian or a Persian, if he has the knowledge of God and of His Christ, and keeps the everlasting righteous decrees, he is circumcised with the good and useful circumcision, and is a friend of God, and God rejoices in his gifts and offerings. But I will lay before you, my friends, the very words of God, when He said to the people by Malachi, one of the twelve prophets, 'I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord; and I shall not accept your sacrifices at your hands: for from the rising of the sun unto its setting My name shall be glorified among the Gentiles; and in every place a sacrifice is offered unto My name, even a pure sacrifice: for My name is honoured among the Gentiles, says the Lord; but you profane it.' Malachi 1:10, etc. And by David He said, 'A people whom I have not known, served Me; at the hearing of the ear they obeyed Me.' |

Rabbi Yoḥa says: This is leviathan the slant serpent, and leviathan the tortuous serpent, as it is stated: “In that day the Lord with His sore /b and great and strong b sword /b will punish leviathan the slant serpent, and leviathan the tortuous serpent” (Isaiah 27:1).,§ The Gemara provides b a mnemonic /b for the following statements of Rav Yehuda citing Rav: b Everything; time; Jordan. Rav Yehuda says /b that b Rav says: Everything that the Holy One, Blessed be He, created in His world, He created male and female. Even leviathan the slant serpent and leviathan the tortuous serpent He created male and female. And if they would have coupled /b and produced offspring, they would have b destroyed the entire world. What did the Holy One, Blessed be He, do? He castrated the male and killed the female, and salted /b the female to preserve it for the banquet b for the righteous in the future. As it is stated: “And He will slay the serpent that is in the sea” /b (Isaiah 27:1)., b And He created even the beasts on the thousand hills /b (see Psalms 50:10) b male and female. And /b they were so enormous that b if they would have coupled /b and produced offspring, b they would have destroyed the entire world. What did the Holy One, Blessed be He, do? He castrated the male and cooled /b the sexual desire of b the female and preserved it for the righteous in the future. As it is stated /b about the beasts: b “Lo now, his strength is in his loins” /b (Job 40:16); b this /b is referring to the b male. /b The continuation of the verse: b “And his force is in the stays of his body”; this /b is the b female, /b alluding to the idea that they did not use their genitals for the purpose of procreation.,The Gemara asks: b There too, /b with regard to the leviathan, b let Him castrate the male and cool the female; /b why was it necessary to kill the female? The Gemara answers: b Fish are unrestrained, /b and therefore even if the female was cooled, the female would still procreate. The Gemara suggests: b And let Him do the opposite, /b and kill and preserve the male leviathan. The Gemara responds: b If you wish, say /b that the b salted female is better; if you wish, say /b instead b that /b since b it is written: “There is leviathan, whom You have formed to sport with” /b (Psalms 104:26), the male must be left alive for sport, because it is b not proper conduct /b to sport b with a female. /b The Gemara asks: b Here too, /b with regard to the beasts, b let Him /b preserve the b female in salt, /b instead of cooling it. The Gemara answers: b Salted fish is good, /b but b salted meat is not good. /b , b And Rav Yehuda says /b that b Rav says: At the time when the Holy One, Blessed be He, sought to create the world, He said to the minister of the sea: Open your mouth and swallow all the waters of the world, /b so that there will be room for land. The minister of the sea b said before Him: Master of the Universe, /b it is b enough that I will stay within my own /b waters. God b immediately struck him and killed him; as it is stated: “He stirs up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He smites through Rahab” /b (Job 26:12)., b Rabbi Yitzḥak said: Conclude from here /b that b the name of the minister of the sea is Rahab, and were it not for waters /b of the sea that b cover him, no creature could withstand his smell, /b as his corpse emits a terrible stench. b As it is stated: “They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain; /b for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, b as the waters cover the sea” /b (Isaiah 11:9). b Do not read /b this phrase as b “cover the sea”; rather /b read it as: b Cover the minister of the sea, /b i.e., the term sea is referring to the minister of the sea, not to the sea itself., b And Rav Yehuda says /b that b Rav says: The Jordan issues forth from the cave of Pamyas. That is also taught /b in a i baraita /i : b The Jordan issues forth from the cave of Pamyas, and travels in the Sea of Sivkhi, /b i.e., the Hula Lake, b and in the Sea of Tiberias, /b the Sea of Galilee, b and rolls down to the Great Sea, and rolls down until it reaches the mouth of the leviathan. As it is stated: “He is confident, though the Jordan rush forth to his mouth” /b (Job 40:23). b Rava bar Ulla strongly objects to this /b explanation of the verse, stating: But b this /b verse b is written about the beasts on the thousand hills. Rather, Rava bar Ulla said /b that this is the meaning of the verse: b When are the beasts on the thousand hills confident? When the Jordan rushes forth into the mouth of the leviathan. /b ,§ The Gemara provides b a mnemonic /b for the upcoming statements of Rav Dimi: b Seas; Gabriel; hungry. When Rav Dimi came /b from Eretz Yisrael to Babylonia, he said that b Rabbi Yoḥa said: What /b is the meaning of that b which is written: “For He has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods” /b (Psalms 24:2)? b These are /b the b seven seas and four rivers that surround Eretz Yisrael. And these are /b the b seven seas: The Sea of Tiberias, the Sea of Sodom, /b i.e., the Dead Sea, b the Sea of Ḥeilat, the Sea of Ḥeilata, the Sea of Sivkhi, the Sea of Aspamya, and the Great Sea, /b i.e., the Mediterranean. b And these are the four rivers: The Jordan, the Jarmuth, and the Keiromyon, and the Piga, /b which are the rivers of Damascus., b When Rav Dimi came /b from Eretz Yisrael to Babylonia he said that b Rabbi Yonatan says: In the future, Gabriel will perform /b |

What is the reason? /b It is that b his own mitzva is preferable /b to one that he performs on behalf of others. b When they disagree /b is in a case b where there is /b land worth b five /b i sela /i that is b liened /b property that has been sold, i.e., he sold this land to other people but it can be reclaimed by his prior creditor, b and five /b i sela /i which is entirely b unsold /b property.,And the reasoning behind the dispute is as follows: b Rabbi Yehuda maintains /b that b a loan that is written in the Torah, /b i.e., any ficial obligation that applies by Torah law, is b considered as though it is written in a document, /b and therefore it can be collected from liened property, like any loan recorded in a document. This means that the liened property worth five i sela /i is available for one’s own redemption, but not for that of his son, as the sale of the property occurred before the birth of his firstborn. Consequently, b with these five /b i sela /i upon which there is no lien b he redeems his son, and /b the b priest goes and repossesses /b the land worth b five /b i sela /i that is b liened /b property b for his /b own redemption. In this manner one can fulfill both mitzvot., b And the Rabbis maintain: A loan that is written in the Torah is not considered as though it is written in a document, /b since buyers will not be aware of this obligation, so that they should be aware that the land may be repossessed. b And therefore /b there is no advantage for this man to redeem his son with the five i sela /i upon which there is no lien, and b his own mitzva is preferable, /b which means he redeems himself with the free land. With the liened property that is left he cannot redeem his son, as the land was sold before the birth of his firstborn., b The Sages taught: /b If one has money b to redeem his son and to ascend to /b Jerusalem on b the pilgrimage Festival, he redeems his son and then ascends /b to Jerusalem b on the pilgrimage Festival. Rabbi Yehuda says: He ascends /b to Jerusalem b on the pilgrimage Festival and then redeems his son. /b His reasoning is b that this /b trip to Jerusalem for the pilgrimage Festival is b a mitzva /b whose time soon b passes, and this, /b the redemption of the firstborn son, is b a mitzva /b whose time does b not /b soon b pass, /b as it can be fulfilled later.,The Gemara asks: b Granted, according to /b the opinion of b Rabbi Yehuda, /b it is b as he stated /b in b his reasoning, /b i.e., Rabbi Yehuda provided the rationale for his opinion. b But what is the reasoning of the Rabbis, /b who say that he should first redeem his son? The Gemara answers that the reason is b that the verse states: “All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem” /b (Exodus 34:20), b and /b it b then /b states, in the same verse: b “And none shall appear before me empty,” /b referring to the pilgrimage Festival in Jerusalem. The order of the verse indicates that one should redeem his firstborn son before traveling to Jerusalem on the pilgrimage Festival., b The Sages taught: From where /b is it derived b that if one had five /b firstborn b sons, from five /b different b women, he is obligated to redeem them all? The verse states: “All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem” /b (Exodus 34:20), and the emphasis of “all” includes any of one’s firstborn sons. The Gemara asks: b Isn’t /b it b obvious /b this is the case? After all, b the Merciful One made /b this mitzva b dependent upon the opening of the womb, /b as it states: “Sanctify to Me all the firstborn, whoever opens the womb” (Exodus 13:2). Since each of these sons is the firstborn of his mother, it is clear that the father is required to redeem each of them.,The Gemara answers that this ruling is necessary b lest you say /b that b we should derive /b a verbal analogy between b “firstborn” /b stated here and b “firstborn” from /b the verses dealing with b inheritance: Just as there, /b the verse describes a firstborn who receives a double portion of the inheritance as: b “The first fruit of his strength” /b (Deuteronomy 21:17), i.e., he is the firstborn son to his father, and not the first child born to his mother; b so too here, /b with regard to the redemption of the firstborn son, it is referring to the b first fruit of his strength, /b which would mean that the father need redeem only his oldest child. Therefore, this i baraita /i b teaches us /b that this is not the case. Rather, every firstborn son to his mother must be redeemed.,§ The i baraita /i teaches that a father is obligated b to teach /b his son b Torah. /b The Gemara asks: b From where do we /b derive this requirement? b As it is written: “And you shall teach them [ i velimadtem /i ] to your sons” /b (Deuteronomy 11:19). b And /b in a case b where his father did not teach him he is obligated to teach himself, as it is written, /b i.e., the verse can be read with a different vocalization: b And you shall study [ i ulmadtem /i ]. /b , b From where do we /b derive b that /b a woman b is not obligated /b to teach her son Torah? b As it is written: “And you shall teach [ i velimadtem /i ],” /b which can be read as: b And you shall study [ i ulmadtem /i ]. /b This indicates that b whoever is commanded to study /b Torah b is commanded to teach, and whoever is not commanded to study is not commanded to teach. /b Since a woman is not obligated to learn Torah, she is likewise not obligated to teach it.,The Gemara asks: b And from where do we /b derive b that she is not obligated to teach herself? /b The Gemara answers: b As it is written: “And you shall teach [ i velimadtem /i ],” /b which can be read as: b And you shall study [ i ulmadtem /i ], /b which indicates that b whoever others are commanded to teach is commanded to teach himself, and whoever others are not commanded to teach is not commanded to teach himself. And from where /b is it derived b that others are not commanded to teach /b a woman? b As the verse states: “And you shall teach them to your sons” /b (Deuteronomy 11:19), which emphasizes: b Your sons and not your daughters. /b , b The Sages taught: /b If b one /b wishes b to study /b Torah himself b and his son /b also wants b to study, he takes precedence over his son. Rabbi Yehuda says: If his son is diligent and sharp, and his study will endure, his son takes precedence over him. /b This is b like that /b anecdote b which /b is told about b Rav Ya’akov, son of Rav Aḥa bar Ya’akov, whose father sent him to Abaye /b to study Torah. b When /b the son b came /b home, his father b saw that his studies were not sharp, /b as he was insufficiently bright. Rav Aḥa bar Ya’akov b said to /b his son: b I am preferable to you, /b and it is better that I go and study. Therefore, b you sit /b and handle the affairs of the house b so that I can go /b and study., b Abaye heard /b that Rav Aḥa bar Ya’akov b was coming. There was a certain demon in the study hall of Abaye, /b which was so powerful b that when two /b people would b enter they would be harmed, even during the day. /b Abaye b said to /b the people of the town: b Do not give /b Rav Aḥa bar Ya’akov b lodging [ i ushpiza /i ] /b so that he will be forced to spend the night in the study hall. Since Rav Aḥa bar Ya’akov is a righteous man, b perhaps a miracle will occur /b on his behalf and he will kill the demon.,Rav Aḥa found no place to spend the night, and b he entered and spent the night in that study hall /b of b the Sages. /b The demon b appeared to him like a serpent /b with b seven heads. /b Rav Aḥa bar Ya’akov began to pray, and with b every bow /b that b he bowed one /b of the demon’s b heads fell off, /b until it eventually died. The b next day /b Rav Aḥa b said to /b the townspeople: b If a miracle had not occurred, you would have placed me in danger. /b , b The Sages taught: /b If one has to decide whether b to study Torah or to marry a woman, /b which should he do first? b He should study Torah and afterward marry a woman. And if it is impossible for him /b to be b without a wife, he should marry a woman and then study Torah. Rav Yehuda says /b that b Shmuel says: /b The b i halakha /i /b is that one should b marry a woman and afterward study Torah. /b , b Rabbi Yoḥa says: /b How can one do this? With b a millstone /b hanging b from his neck, /b i.e., with the responsibility of providing for his family weighing upon him, can b he engage in Torah /b study? The Gemara comments: b And /b the i amora’im /i b do not disagree; this is for us and that is for them. /b In other words, one statement applies to the residents of Babylonia, whereas the other is referring to those living in Eretz Yisrael.,§ With regard to marriage, the Gemara relates: b Rav Ḥisda would praise Rav Hamnuna to Rav Huna /b by saying b that he is a great man. /b Rav Huna b said to him: When he comes to you, send him to me. When /b Rav Hamnuna b came /b before him, Rav Huna b saw that he did not cover /b his head with b a cloth, /b as Torah scholars did. Rav Huna b said to him: What is the reason /b that b you do not cover /b your head b with a cloth? /b Rav Hamnuna b said to him: /b The reason is b that I am not married, /b and it was not customary for unmarried men to cover their heads with a cloth. Rav Huna b turned his face away from him /b in rebuke, and b he said to him: See /b to it b that you do not see my face until you marry. /b ,The Gemara notes: b Rav Huna /b conforms b to his /b standard line of b reasoning, as he says: /b If one is b twenty years old and has not /b yet b married a woman, all of his days /b will be b in /b a state of b sin /b concerning sexual matters. The Gemara asks: Can it b enter your mind /b that he will be b in /b a state of b sin /b all of his days? b Rather, say /b that this means the following: b All of his days /b will be b in /b a state of b thoughts of sin, /b i.e., sexual thoughts. One who does not marry in his youth will become accustomed to thoughts of sexual matters, and the habit will remain with him the rest of his life., b Rava said, and similarly, the school of Rabbi Yishmael taught: Until /b one reaches the age of b twenty years the Holy One, Blessed be He, sits and waits for a man, /b saying: b When will he marry a woman? Once he reaches /b the age of b twenty and has not married, He says: Let his bones swell, /b i.e., he is cursed and God is no longer concerned about him., b Rav Ḥisda said: /b The fact b that I am superior to my colleagues /b is b because I married /b at the age of b sixteen, and if I would have married at /b the age of b fourteen, /b |

Adam did not abide, i.e., sleep, in a place of honor for even one night., b Rami bar Ḥama says /b in explanation of the end of that verse: b A wild animal does not have power over a person unless /b that person b seems to /b the wild animal b like an animal, as it is stated: “He is like the beasts that perish.” /b ,The Gemara presents b a mnemonic /b for the statements that follow: b At the time, to the end, Aramaic. Rav Yehuda says /b that b Rav says: At the time that the Holy One, Blessed be He, sought to create a person, He created one group of ministering angels. He said to them: /b If b you agree, let us fashion a person in our image. /b The angels b said before him: Master of the Universe, what are the actions of /b this person You suggest to create? God b said to them: His actions are such and such, /b according to human nature.,The angels b said before him: Master of the Universe: “What is man that You are mindful of him? And the son of man that You think of him?” /b (Psalms 8:5), i.e., a creature such as this is not worth creating. God b outstretched His small finger among them and burned them /b with fire. b And the same /b occurred with b a second group /b of angels. The b third group /b of angels that He asked b said before Him: Master of the Universe, the first /b two groups b who spoke /b their mind b before You, what did they accomplish? The entire world is Yours; whatever You wish to do in Your world, do. /b God then created the first person., b When /b history b arrived at /b the time of b the people of the generation of the flood and the people of the generation of the dispersion, /b i.e., the Tower of Babel, b whose actions were ruinous, /b the angels b said before God: Master of the Universe, didn’t the /b first set of angels b speak appropriately before You, /b that human beings are not worthy of having been created? God b said to them /b concerning humanity: b “Even to your old age I am the same; and even to hoar hairs will I suffer you; /b I have made and I will bear; and I will carry, and I will deliver you” (Isaiah 46:4), i.e., having created people, I will even suffer their flaws., b Rav Yehuda says /b that b Rav says: Adam the first /b man spanned b from one end of the world until the other, as it is stated: “Since the day that God created man upon the earth, and from the one end of heaven unto the other” /b (Deuteronomy 4:32), meaning that on the day Adam was created he spanned from one end of the heavens until the other. b Once /b Adam b sinned, the Holy One, Blessed be He, placed His hand on him and diminished him, as it is stated: “Behind and before You have created me and laid Your hand upon me” /b (Psalms 139:5), that at first Adam spanned “behind and before,” meaning everywhere, and then God laid His hand on him and diminished him., b Rabbi Elazar says: /b The height of b Adam the first /b man b was from the ground until the firmament, as it is stated: “Since the day that God created man upon the earth, and from the one end of heaven unto the other.” /b Adam stood “upon the earth” and rose to the end of the heavens. b Once /b Adam b sinned, the Holy One, Blessed be He, placed His hand on him and diminished him, as it is stated: “Behind and before You have created me /b and laid Your hand upon me.” The Gemara asks: The interpretations of b the verses contradict each other. /b The first interpretation is that his size was from one end of the world to the other, and the second interpretation is that it was from the earth until the heavens. The Gemara answers: b This and that, /b from one end of the world to another and from the earth until the heavens, b are one measure, /b i.e., the same distance., b And Rav Yehuda says /b that b Rav says: Adam the first /b man b spoke in the language of Aramaic, as it is stated /b in the chapter of Psalms speaking in the voice of Adam: b “How weighty also are Your thoughts to me, O God” /b (Psalms 139:17)., b And this, /b i.e., that the verse in Psalms is stated by Adam, is what b Reish Lakish says: What /b is the meaning of that b which is written: “This is the book of the generations of Adam” /b (Genesis 5:1)? This verse b teaches that the Holy One, Blessed be He, showed /b Adam b every generation and its /b Torah b interpreters, every generation and its wise ones. When he arrived at /b his vision of b the generation of Rabbi Akiva, /b Adam b was gladdened by his Torah, and saddened by his /b manner of b death. He said: “How weighty also are Your thoughts to me, O God,” /b i.e., how it weighs upon me that a man as great as Rabbi Akiva should suffer., b And Rav Yehuda says /b that b Rav says: Adam the first /b man b was a heretic, as it is stated: “And the Lord called to the man and said to him: Where are you”? /b (Genesis 3:9), meaning, to b where has your heart turned, /b indicating that Adam turned from the path of truth. b Rabbi Yitzḥak says: He was /b one who b drew his foreskin /b forward, so as to remove any indication that he was circumcised. It b is written here: “And they like men [ i adam /i ] have transgressed the covet” /b (Hosea 6:7), b and /b it b is written there: /b “And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; b he has broken My covet” /b (Genesis 17:14)., b Rav Naḥman says: He was a denier of the fundamental principle /b of belief in God. It b is written here: /b “And they like men [ i adam /i ] b have transgressed the covet,” and /b it b is written there: “He has broken My covet,” /b and it is written in a third verse: b “And then they shall answer: Because they have forsaken the covet of the Lord their God /b and worshipped other gods and served them” (Jeremiah 22:9).,§ b We learned /b in a mishna b there /b (Avot 2:14): b Rabbi Eliezer says: Be persistent to learn Torah, and know what to respond to the heretic [ i la’apikoros /i ]. Rabbi Yoḥa says: /b This was b taught only /b with regard to b a gentile heretic, but /b not with regard to b a Jewish heretic, /b as one should not respond to him. b All the more so, /b if one does respond b he will become more heretical. /b His heresy is assumed to be intentional, and any attempt to rebut it will only cause him to reinforce his position., b Rabbi Yoḥa says: Any place /b in the Bible from b where the heretics /b attempt to b prove their heresy, /b i.e., that there is more than one god, b the response to their /b claim is b alongside them, /b i.e., in the immediate vicinity of the verses they cite. The verse states that God said: b “Let us make man in our image” /b (Genesis 1:26), employing the plural, b but it /b then b states: “And God created man in His image” /b (Genesis 1:27), employing the singular. The verse states that God said: b “Come, let us go down and there confound their language” /b (Genesis 11:7), but it also states: b “And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower” /b (Genesis 11:5). The verse states in the plural: b “There God was revealed [ i niglu /i ] to him /b when he fled from the face of his brother” (Genesis 35:7), but it also states in the singular: b “To God Who answers [ i haoneh /i ] me in the day of my distress” /b (Genesis 35:3).,Rabbi Yoḥa cites several examples where the counterclaim is in the same verse as the claim of the heretics. The verse states: b “For what nation is there so great that has God so near to them as the Lord our God is whenever we call upon Him?” /b (Deuteronomy 4:7), where the term “near” is written in plural, i kerovim /i , but the term “upon Him” is written in singular. Another verse states: b “And who is like Your people, like Israel, a nation one in the earth, whom God went to redeem unto Himself for a people?” /b (II Samuel 7:23), where the term “went” is written in plural, i halekhu /i , but the term “Himself” is written in singular. Another verse states: “I beheld b till thrones were placed, and one that was ancient of days did sit” /b (Daniel 7:9); where the term “thrones” is written in plural, i kharsavan /i , but the term “sit” is written in singular.,The Gemara asks: b Why do I /b need b these /b instances of plural words? Why does the verse employ the plural at all when referring to God? The Gemara explains: This is b in accordance with /b the statement b of Rabbi Yoḥa, as Rabbi Yoḥa says: The Holy One, Blessed be He, does not act unless He consults with the entourage of Above, /b i.e., the angels, b as it is stated: “The matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the sentence by the word of the holy ones” /b (Daniel 4:14).,The Gemara clarifies: This b works out well for /b almost b all /b the verses, as they describe an action taken by God, but b what is there to say /b concerning the verse: “I beheld b till thrones were placed”? /b The Gemara answers: b One /b throne is b for Him and one /b throne is b for David, /b i.e., the messiah, b as it is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b One /b throne is b for Him and one /b throne is b for David; /b this is b the statement of Rabbi Akiva. Rabbi Yosei said to him: Akiva! Until when will you desacralize the Divine Presence /b by equating God with a person? b Rather, /b the correct interpretation is that both thrones are for God, as b one /b throne is b for judgment and one /b throne is b for righteousness. /b ,The Gemara asks: Did Rabbi Akiva b accept /b this explanation b from /b Rabbi Yosei b or /b did he b not accept it from him? /b The Gemara suggests: b Come /b and b hear /b a proof to the matter from what was taught in another i baraita /i , b as it is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b One /b throne is b for judgment and one /b throne is b for righteousness; /b this is b the statement of Rabbi Akiva. Rabbi Elazar ben Azarya said to him: Akiva! What are you doing near, /b i.e., discussing, matters of b i aggada /i ? Go near /b tractates b i Nega’im /i and i Oholot /i , /b which examine the complex i halakhot /i of ritual purity, where your knowledge is unparalleled. b Rather, /b the correct interpretation is that while both thrones are for God, b one /b is b for a throne and one /b is b for a stool. /b There is b a throne for God to sit upon, and a stool /b that serves b as His footstool. /b , b Rav Naḥman says: This one, /b i.e., any person, b who knows /b how b to respond to the heretics /b as effectively b as Rav Idit should respond /b to them, b but if /b he does b not /b know, he b should not respond /b to them. The Gemara relates: b A certain heretic said to Rav Idit: /b It b is written /b in the verse concerning God: b “And to Moses He said: Come up to the Lord” /b (Exodus 24:1). The heretic raised a question: b It should have /b stated: b Come up to Me. /b Rav Idit b said to him: This /b term, “the Lord,” in that verse b is /b referring to the angel b Metatron, whose name is like the name of his Master, as it is written: /b “Behold I send an angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. Take heed of him and obey his voice; do not defy him; for he will not pardon your transgression, b for My name is in him” /b (Exodus 23:20–21).,The heretic said to him: b If so, /b if this angel is equated with God, b we should worship him /b as we worship God. Rav Idit said to him: It b is written: “Do not defy [ i tammer /i ] him,” /b which alludes to: b Do not replace Me [ i temireni /i ] with him. /b The heretic said to him: b If so, why do I /b need the clause b “For he will not pardon your transgression”? /b Rav Idit b said to him: We believe that we did not accept /b the angel b even as a guide [ i befarvanka /i ] /b for the journey, b as it is written: “And he said to him: If Your Presence go not with me /b raise us not up from here” (Exodus 33:15). Moses told God that if God Himself does not accompany the Jewish people they do not want to travel to Eretz Yisrael.,The Gemara relates: b A certain heretic said to Rabbi Yishmael, son of Rabbi Yosei: /b It b is written: “And the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord /b out of heaven” (Genesis 19:24). The heretic raised the question: b It should have /b stated: b From Him /b out of heaven. b A certain launderer said to /b Rabbi Yishmael: b Leave him be; I will respond to him. /b This is b as it is written: “And Lemech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; wives of Lemech, /b hearken to my speech” (Genesis 4:23). One can raise the question: b It should have /b been written: b My wives, /b and not: “Wives of Lemech.” b Rather, it is /b the style of b the verse /b to b speak in this /b manner. b Here too, it is /b the style of b the verse /b to b speak in this /b manner. Rabbi Yishmael b said to /b the launderer: b From where did you /b hear b this /b interpretation? The launderer b said to him: I heard it at the lecture of Rabbi Meir. /b ,The Gemara comments: This is b as Rabbi Yoḥa said: When Rabbi Meir would teach his lecture he would expound one-third i halakha /i , one-third i aggada /i , /b and b one-third parables. And Rabbi Yoḥa says: Rabbi Meir had, /b i.e., taught, b three hundred parables of foxes, and we have only three. /b |

In this way, the death of their children atones for the fathers.,§ b Rabbi Ile’a bar Yeverekhya says: If it were not for the prayer of David /b for Israel to have sustece, b all Israel would be sellers of fat [ i revav /i ], /b i.e., involved in debased occupations, b as it is stated: “Place for them mastery, O Lord” /b (Psalms 9:21), that is, may God grant them dignity. b And Rabbi Ile’a bar Yeverekhya /b also b says: If it were not for the prayer of Habakkuk, two Torah scholars would have to cover themselves with a single cloak /b due to poverty b and engage in Torah study /b dressed that way, b as it is stated: “Lord, I heard Your report and was afraid; O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years” /b (Habakkuk 3:2). b Do not read: “In the midst [ i bekerev /i ] of the years [ i shanim /i ],” but in the closeness [ i bikrov /i ] of two [ i shenayim /i ]. /b In other words, Habakkuk prayed that God would nullify His decree of two Torah scholars having to share a single cloak., b And Rabbi Ile’a bar Yeverekhya says: /b In the case of b two Torah scholars who are walking along the way and there are no words of Torah between them, /b but they are conversing about other matters, b they are deserving of being burned in fire. As it is stated /b with regard to Elijah and his disciple Elisha: b “And it was as they walked along, talking, that behold, there appeared a chariot of fire /b and horses of fire, which parted them both asunder” (II Kings 2:11). b The reason /b they were not burned by the chariot of fire is b that there was speech /b exchanged between them, which presumably was words of Torah, b but if there had been no speech, they /b would have been b deserving of being burned /b by the chariot., b And Rabbi Ile’a bar Yeverekhya says: /b If there are b two Torah scholars who reside in the same city and they are not pleasant to each other with regard to i halakha /i , /b but are constantly fighting, b one /b of them will b die and /b the other b one /b will be b exiled. As /b it b is stated: “That the manslayer might flee there, who slays his neighbor without knowledge” /b (Deuteronomy 4:42), b and “knowledge” /b means b nothing other /b than b Torah, as it is stated: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” /b (Hosea 4:6)., b Rabbi Yehuda, son of Rabbi Ḥiyya, says: /b With regard to b any Torah scholar who engages in Torah /b study b while experiencing the pressure /b of poverty, b his prayer is listened to, as it is stated: “For, O people that dwells in Zion at Jerusalem, you shall weep no more; He will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry. When He shall hear, He will answer you” /b (Isaiah 30:19), b and after it is written: “And the Lord shall give you sparse bread and scant water” /b (Isaiah 30:20). This verse indicates that those who sit and study Torah, that is, the people who dwell in Zion, and eat bread sparingly, will have their prayers answered by God., b Rabbi Abbahu says: /b A Torah scholar who engages in Torah study despite economic pressures b is satiated with the glory of the Divine Presence, as it is stated /b in the same verse, above: b “And your eyes shall behold your Teacher.” Rabbi Aḥa, son of Ḥanina, said: Even the /b concealing b partition /b [ b i pargod /i /b ] before the Divine Presence b is not locked before him, as it is stated: “And your Teacher shall not hide Himself anymore” /b (Isaiah 30:20).,§ The mishna states that b Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says in the name of Rabbi Yehoshua: From the day that the Temple was destroyed, there is no /b day that does not include some form of curse. b Rava says: Each and every day is more cursed than the previous one, as it is stated /b in the chapter detailing the curses in the book of Deuteronomy: b “In the morning you will say, would that it were evening, and in the evening you will say, would that it were morning” /b (Deuteronomy 28:67). It is unclear b which morning /b the verse means. b If we say /b that in the evening he will wish it would be b the following morning, does he know what will be /b the outcome of the next morning, which would cause him to yearn for its arrival? b Rather, /b it must mean the morning b that has passed; /b that is, in the evening they will pine for the previous morning, because their situation is continuously worsening.,The Gemara poses a question: b But /b if everything is deteriorating, b why does the world /b continue to b exist? /b The Gemara answers: b By the sanctification that /b is said in the b order /b of prayers, after the passage that begins: And a redeemer shall come to Israel, which includes the recitation and translation of the sanctification said by the angels, b and /b by the response: b Let His great name /b be blessed, etc., which is recited after the study b of i aggada /i . As it is stated: “A land of thick darkness, as darkness itself; a land of the shadow of death, without any order” /b (Job 10:22). b Therefore, /b it can be inferred from this verse that if b there are orders /b of prayer and study, the land b shall appear from /b amidst b the darkness. /b ,§ The mishna taught that since the destruction of the Temple, b dew has not descended for a blessing, and the taste has been removed from fruit. It is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar says: /b The lost b purity has removed the taste and the aroma; /b the b tithes /b that were not separated b have removed the fat of grain. /b ,The Gemara relates that b Rav Huna found a fragrant date. He took it and wrapped it in his shawl. Rabba, his son, came /b and b said to him: I smell the aroma of a fragrant /b date. Rav Huna b said to him: My son, there is /b clearly b purity in you, /b as you were able to notice the fragrance. b He gave it to him. Meanwhile, Abba, /b Rabba’s b son, arrived. /b Rabba b took /b the date and b gave it to /b him. Rav Huna b said to /b Rabba: b My son, you have made my heart rejoice /b with your purity, b and you have blunted my teeth, /b by showing your preference for your own son. The Gemara comments: b This /b explains the folk saying b that people say: The love of a father is for the sons; the love of the sons is for their own sons, /b more than for their father.,The Gemara relates another incident: b Rav Aḥa bar Ya’akov took care of Rav Ya’akov, the son of his daughter, /b who was an orphan. b When /b the grandchild b grew up, /b his grandfather once b said to him: Give me water to drink. He said to him: I am not your son, /b and I am not obligated in your honor as a son must honor his father. The Gemara again comments: b And this /b explains the folk saying b that people say: Raise, raise /b your grandchild, but in the end he will retort: b I am the son of your daughter, /b and I do not have to take care of you., strong MISHNA: /strong b In the war [ i pulemus /i ] of Vespasian /b the Sages b decreed upon the crowns of bridegrooms, /b i.e., that bridegrooms may no longer wear crowns, b and upon the drums, /b meaning they also banned the playing of drums., b In the war of Titus they /b also b decreed upon the crowns of brides, and /b they decreed b that a person should not teach his son Greek. /b , b In the last war, /b meaning the bar Kokheva revolt, b they decreed that a bride may not go out in a palanquin inside the city, but our Sages permitted a bride to go out in a palanquin inside the city, /b as this helps the bride maintain her modesty.,The mishna lists more things that ceased: b From /b the time b when Rabbi Meir died, those who relate parables ceased; from /b the time b when ben Azzai died, the diligent ceased; from /b the time b when ben Zoma died, the exegetists ceased; from /b the time b when Rabbi Akiva died, the honor of the Torah ceased; from /b the time b when Rabbi Ḥanina ben Dosa died, the men of /b wondrous b action ceased; from /b the time b when Rabbi Yosei the Small died, the pious were no more. And why was he called the Small? Because he was the smallest of the pious, /b meaning he was one of the least important of the pious men., b From /b the time b when Rabban Yoḥa ben Zakkai died, the glory of wisdom ceased; from /b the time b when Rabban Gamliel the Elder died, the honor of the Torah ceased, and purity and asceticism died. From /b the time b when Rabbi Yishmael ben Pavi died, the glory of the priesthood ceased; from /b the time b when Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi b died, humility and fear of sin ceased. /b ,gemara b The Sages taught: Rabbi Pineḥas ben Ya’ir says: From /b the time b when the /b Second b Temple was destroyed, the i ḥaverim /i and free men /b of noble lineage b were ashamed, and their heads were covered /b in shame, b and men of action dwindled, and violent and smooth-talking men gained the upper hand, and none seek, and none ask, and none inquire /b of the fear of Heaven., b Upon whom /b is there b for us to rely? /b Only b upon our Father in Heaven. /b , b Rabbi Eliezer the Great says: From the day the /b Second b Temple was destroyed, /b the generations have deteriorated: b Scholars have begun to become like scribes /b that teach children, b and scribes have become like beadles, and beadles have become like ignoramuses, and ignoramuses /b |

It means b like a man /b joined and b clinging to his i livaya /i , /b his partner, i.e., his wife. In other words, the cherubs appeared to be embracing one another. b Reish Lakish said: When gentiles /b destroyed the Second Temple and b entered the Sanctuary, they saw /b these drawings of b cherubs clinging to one another. /b They peeled them from the wall, b took them out to the market, and said: These Jews, whose blessing is a blessing and whose curse is a curse, /b due to their great fear of God, should b they be occupied with such matters, /b making images of this kind? b They immediately debased /b and destroyed b them, as it is stated: “All who honored her debase her because they have seen her nakedness” /b (Lamentations 1:8).,§ The mishna taught that a stone sat in the Holy of Holies b and it was called /b the b foundation [ i shetiyya /i ] /b rock. A Sage b taught /b in the i Tosefta /i : Why was it called i shetiyya /i ? It is b because the world was created [ i hushtat /i ] from it. /b The Gemara comments: b We learned /b the mishna b in accordance with /b the opinion of b the one who said /b that b the world was created from Zion. As it was taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi Eliezer says: The world was created from its center, as it is stated: “When the dust runs into a mass, and the clods cleave fast together” /b (Job 38:38). The world was created by adding matter to the center, like the formation of clumps of earth., b Rabbi Yehoshua says: /b The b world was created from the sides, as it is stated: “For He said to the snow: Become the earth, likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of His mighty rain” /b (Job 37:6). This verse indicates that the rains fell from all sides, which led to the creation of the earth. b Rabbi Yitzḥak Nappaḥa said: The Holy One, Blessed be He, cast a stone into the sea, from which the world was created, as it is stated: “Upon what were its foundations fastened; or who laid its cornerstone?” /b (Job 38:6)., b And the Rabbis say: /b The world b was created from Zion, as it is stated: “A Psalm of Asaph. God, the Lord God /b has spoken and called the earth, from the rising of the sun to its place of setting” (Psalms 50:1), b and it states: “Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, /b God has shined forth” (Psalms 50:2). The mishna is taught in accordance with this last opinion., b It was taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi Eliezer the Great says: “These are the generations of the heaven and the earth when they were created, on the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven” /b (Genesis 2:4) means that the b generations of the heavens, /b i.e., all things found in the heavens, b were created from the heavens, /b while the b generations of the earth were created from the earth. /b , b And the Rabbis say: Both these and those were created from Zion, as it is stated: “A Psalm of Asaph. God, the Lord God has spoken and called the earth, from the rising of the sun to its place of setting,” and it says: “Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shined forth,” /b i.e., b from /b Zion b the beauty of the world was perfected, /b which includes both the generations of the heavens and the generations of the earth.,§ The mishna taught that the High Priest b took the blood /b of the bull b from /b the one b who was stirring it /b so it would not coagulate, b and he entered /b and sprinkled it like one who whips. The Gemara asks: b What is /b the meaning of: b Like one who whips? Rav Yehuda demonstrated /b the action with his hand, |

The Gemara asks: b How much /b is b intermittently? Rami bar Abba said /b that b Rav Yitzḥak said: Thirty days. /b , b And Rami bar Abba said /b that b Rav Yitzḥak said: One who sees the Euphrates River near the bridge of Babylonia recites: Blessed…Author of creation. /b The Gemara adds: b And now that the Persians have rerouted /b the course of the river, one only recites the blessing b from Beit Shavor upriver. /b Downriver, it no longer flows as it did at creation, so there one does not recite the blessing: Author of creation. b Rav Yosef said: /b One only recites the blessing b from Ihi Dekira upriver. And Rami bar Abba said: One who sees the Tigris on the bridge of Shabistana recites: Blessed…Author of creation. /b ,The Gemara proceeds to explain the names of these rivers. b What is /b the source of the name b i Ḥidekel /i [ /b Tigris]? b Rav Ashi said: /b Its name is an acronym derived from the fact that b its waters are sharp [ i ḥadin /i ] and light [ i kalin /i ] /b and therefore good for drinking. b What is /b the source of the name b i Perat /i /b [Euphrates]? It is so named b because its waters are fruitful [ i parin /i ] and multiply [ i ravin /i ]; /b there are many fish in it.,As for the Tigris River, b Rava said: The inhabitants /b of the city b Meḥoza are sharp because they drink the water of the Tigris; they are red because they engage in /b conjugal b relations in the daytime; and their eyes move /b constantly b because they live in dark houses. /b ,We learned in our mishna that b over rain /b one recites the blessing: Blessed…Who is good and does good. The Gemara asks: b And over rain /b does b one /b really b recite the blessing: Who is good and does good? Didn’t Rabbi Abbahu say, and some say it was taught in a i baraita /i : From when does one recite the blessing on rain? From when the groom went out to meet the bride. /b In other words, there are puddles of water on the ground. The groom, meaning the raindrops from above, cause the bride, meaning the water below, to splash.,The Gemara asks: b What blessing does one recite? Rav Yehuda said: /b The formula of the blessing is: b We thank You for each and every drop that You have made fall for us. And Rav Yoḥa concludes /b the blessing b as follows: If our mouths were as full of song as the sea…we could not sufficiently praise You O Lord our God, /b and he continues with the formula of i nishmat /i that is recited on Shabbat morning, b until: Shall bow /b before You. b Blessed are You, O Lord, /b to Whom b abundant thanksgivings /b are offered.,The Gemara asks: Does the blessing say: b Abundant thanksgivings, and not: All thanksgivings? /b Certainly all thanksgivings are due to God. b Rava said: /b Emend the formula of the blessing and b say: The God of thanksgivings. Rav Pappa said: Therefore, we will recite them both: Abundant thanksgivings, and: The God of thanksgivings. /b , b However, it is /b still b difficult, /b as apparently the blessing for rain is not: Who is good and does good, as it appears in our mishna. The Gemara responds: This is b not difficult. This, /b which we learned in our mishna, that one recites: Who is good and does good, refers to a case b where one heard /b that rain fell. b This, /b where we learned that one recites: We thank You, etc., refers to a case b where one saw /b the rain fall.,The Gemara asks: b One heard /b that the rain fell; b that is /b a case of b good tidings. And we learned /b in the mishna b that upon /b hearing b good tidings one recites: Who is good and does good. /b Therefore, there is no reason for the mishna to mention rain separately., b Rather, /b the difficulty can be otherwise resolved: b This, /b Rabbi Abbahu’s statement, b and that, /b the mishna, both refer to a case where one saw the rain fall, b and /b this is b not difficult. This, /b Rabbi Abbahu’s statement that one recites We thank You, etc., b refers to /b a case b where a little /b rain b fell, /b while b that, /b the mishna which says that one recites: Who is good and does good, refers to a case b where a lot /b of rain b fell. And if you wish, say /b instead that b this and that /b refer to cases b where a lot /b of rain b fell, and /b this is b not difficult. This, /b the mishna, b refers to /b a case b where one owns land, /b while b that, /b Rabbi Abbahu’s statement that one recites: We thank You, etc., b refers to /b a case b where one does not own land, /b so the rain does not benefit him directly.,The Gemara asks: b One who owns land recites: Who is good and does good? Didn’t we learn /b in the mishna: b One who built a new house or purchased new vessels recites: Blessed…Who has given us life…and brought us to this time. /b However, if the land belonged b to him and others /b in partnership, b he recites: Who is good and does good? /b For rain falling onto land that one owns exclusively, he recites: Who has given us life and not: Who is good and does good.,The Gemara answers: This is b not difficult. This, /b the mishna where we learned that one recites: Who is good and does good, b refers to /b a case b where one /b owns his land b in partnership /b with another; b that, /b Rabbi Abbahu’s statement that one recites: Who has given us life, b refers to /b a case b where one /b owns the land exclusively and b does not have a partnership. And /b indeed, this i halakha /i b was taught /b in a i baraita /i : b The gist of the matter is, for /b that which b is /b exclusively b his, he recites: Blessed…Who has given us life and sustained us; for /b that which b belongs to him and to another /b in partnership, b he recites: Who is good and does good. /b ,The Gemara challenges this principle: b And in every case where others are not with him, one does not recite: Who is good and does good? Wasn’t it taught /b in a i baraita /i : b If they told him that his wife gave birth to a male, he recites: Who is good and does good? /b The Gemara responds: b There too, his wife is with him, as she is also happy that a male /b child was born.,The Gemara challenges further: b Come and hear /b a contradiction from what was taught in a i baraita /i : One whose b father died and he is his heir, initially recites: Blessed…the true Judge, /b upon hearing of his father’s death, b and ultimately, /b upon receiving his inheritance, b he recites: Blessed…Who is good and does good. /b Despite the fact that the son alone benefits, he nevertheless recites: Who is good and does good. The Gemara responds: b There, too, /b it refers to a case b where he has brothers who inherit along with him. /b ,The Gemara cites an additional challenge: b Come and hear /b a contradiction based on what was taught in a i baraita /i : In the case of b a change in /b the type of b wine /b during a meal, b one need not recite the blessing: /b Who creates fruit of the vine, a second time. However, in the case of b a change in place, one must recite a /b second b blessing /b over the wine. b And Rabbi Yosef bar Abba said /b that b Rabbi Yoḥa said: Although /b the Sages b said that /b in the case of b a change in /b the type of b wine one need not recite a /b second b blessing /b over the wine, b he does recite: Blessed…Who is good and does good. /b The Gemara responds: b There, too, /b it refers to a case where he is not alone, but where b members of the group are drinking with him. /b ,We learned in the mishna: One who b built a new house or purchased new vessels /b recites: Blessed…Who has given us life, sustained us and brought us to this time. With regard to this blessing, b Rav Huna said: They only taught /b that one recites: Who has given us life, upon purchasing a new vessel when b he does not /b already b have something similar, /b i.e., something he inherited. b However, if he /b already b has something similar he need not recite a blessing, /b as it is not new to him. b Rabbi Yoḥa said: Even /b if b one /b already b has something similar /b that he inherited, b he must recite a blessing /b because he never before purchased a vessel of that kind. |
