If it seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come, and I will look well unto thee; but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear; behold, all the land is before thee; whither it seemeth good and right unto thee to go, thither go.—", 40.5. "Yet he would not go back.—Go back then to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people; or go wheresoever it seemeth right unto thee to go.’ So the captain of the guard gave him an allowance and a present, and let him go.", 40.6. "Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land.",

Rabbi Judah says: between “And the Lord said” and “Emet veYatziv” one should not interrupt. Rabbi Joshua ben Korhah said: Why was the section of “Shema” placed before that of “And it shall come to pass if you listen”? So that one should first accept upon himself the yoke of the Kingdom of Heaven and then take upon himself the yoke of the commandments. Why does the section of “And it shall come to pass if you listen” come before that of “And the Lord said”? Because “And it shall come to pass if you listen” is customary during both day and night, whereas [the section] “And the Lord said” is customary only during the day.",

And why doesn't Israel say it in public (aloud)? Rabbi Asi said: To what is it similar? To one who stole jewelry from the King's palace and gave it to his wife and said to her, \"Don't adorn yourself with it in public, rather (wear it) in your house.\" However, on Yom Kippur when they are as clean as the ministering angels, they say it publicly, \"Blessed is the name of the glory of God's sovereignty for all time.\"",

But when the matriarch Sarah was remembered [gave birth], many other barren women were remembered with her; many deaf gained their hearing; many blind had their eyes opened, many insane became sane. For ‘making’ [HAS MADE] is mentioned here, and also elsewhere, viz. And he made a release to the provinces (Est. II, 18). As the making mentioned there means that a gift was granted to the world,l so the making mentioned here means that a gift was granted to the world. R. Levi said: She increased the light of the luminaries: ‘making’ is mentioned here, viz. GOD HAS MADE FOR ME, while elsewhere it says, And God made the two lights (Gen. I, 16).",

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

The Gemara qualifies this ruling: b In what /b case b is this statement said? /b Only b where there are not sufficient /b numbers of other people available to perform these mitzvot and honor the deceased or the bride appropriately. b However, /b when b there are sufficient /b numbers, additional people b should not interrupt /b their Torah study to participate.,The Gemara asks: b And how many /b people b are /b considered b sufficient? Rav Shmuel bar Inya said in the name of Rav: Twelve thousand men and /b another b six thousand /b men to blow b horns /b as a sign of mourning. b And some say /b a different version: b Twelve thousand men, among whom are six thousand /b men with b horns. Ulla said: For example, /b enough b to make a procession of people /b all the way b from the /b town b gate [ i abbula /i ] to the place of burial. /b , b Rav Sheshet said: As /b the Torah b was given, so it /b should be b taken away, /b i.e., the same honor that was provided when the Torah was given at Mount Sinai should be provided when the Torah is taken through the passing away of a Torah scholar. b Just as /b the Torah b was given in the presence of six hundred thousand /b men, b so too its taking /b should be done b in the presence of six hundred thousand /b men. The Gemara comments: b This applies to someone who read /b the Bible b and studied /b i halakhot /i for himself. b But for someone who taught /b others, b there is no limit /b to the honor that should be shown to him.,§ b It is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b Rabbi Shimon ben Yoḥai says: Come and see how beloved the Jewish people are before the Holy One, Blessed be He. As every place they were exiled, the Divine Presence /b went b with them. They were exiled to Egypt, /b and b the Divine Presence /b went b with them, as it is stated: “Did I reveal myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt?” /b (I Samuel 2:27). b They were exiled to Babylonia, /b and b the Divine Presence /b went b with them, as it is stated: “For your sake I have sent to Babylonia” /b (Isaiah 43:14). b So too, when, in the future, they will be redeemed, the Divine Presence will be with them, as it is stated: “Then the Lord your God will return with your captivity” /b (Deuteronomy 30:3). b It does not state: He will bring back, /b i.e., He will cause the Jewish people to return, b but rather /b it says: b “He will return,” /b which b teaches that the Holy One, Blessed be He, will return /b together b with them from among the /b various b exiles. /b ,The Gemara asks: b Where in Babylonia /b does the Divine Presence reside? b Abaye said: In the /b ancient b synagogue of Huzal and in the synagogue that was destroyed and rebuilt in Neharde’a. And do not say /b that the Divine Presence resided b here and there, /b i.e., in both places simultaneously. b Rather, at times /b it resided b here /b in Huzal b and at times there /b in Neharde’a. b Abaye said: I have /b a blessing b coming to me, for whenever I am /b within b a distance of a parasang /b from one of those synagogues, b I go in and pray there, /b due to the special honor and sanctity attached to them. It was related that b the father of Shmuel and Levi were /b once b sitting in the synagogue that was destroyed and rebuilt in Neharde’a. The Divine Presence came /b and b they heard a loud sound, /b so b they arose and left. /b ,It was further related that b Rav Sheshet was /b once b sitting in the synagogue that was destroyed and rebuilt in Neharde’a, /b and b the Divine Presence came but he did not go out. The ministering angels came and were frightening him /b in order to force him to leave. Rav Sheshet turned to God and b said before Him: Master of the Universe, /b if one is b wretched and /b the other is b not wretched, who should defer to whom? /b Shouldn’t the one who is not wretched give way to the one who is? Now I am blind and wretched; why then do you expect me to defer to the angels? God then turned to the angels and b said to them: Leave him. /b ,The verse states: b “Yet I have been to them as a little sanctuary /b in the countries where they have come” (Ezekiel 11:16). b Rabbi Yitzḥak said: This /b is referring to b the synagogues and study halls in Babylonia. And Rabbi Elazar said: This /b is referring to b the house of our master, /b i.e., Rav, b in Babylonia, /b from which Torah issues forth to the entire world., b Rava interpreted /b a verse b homiletically: What is /b the meaning of that b which is written: “Lord, You have been our dwelling place /b in all generations” (Psalms 90:1)? b This /b is referring to b the synagogues and study halls. Abaye said: Initially, I used to study /b Torah b in /b my b home and pray in the synagogue. Once I heard /b and understood b that which /b King b David says: “Lord, I love the habitation of Your house” /b (Psalms 26:8), b I would /b always b study /b Torah b in the synagogue, /b to express my love for the place in which the Divine Presence resides., b It is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b Rabbi Elazar HaKappar says: In the future, the synagogues and the study halls in Babylonia will be /b transported and b reestablished in Eretz Yisrael, as it is stated: “Surely, like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so shall he come” /b (Jeremiah 46:18). There is a tradition that these mountains came to Sinai at the giving of the Torah and demanded that the Torah should be given upon them. b And are /b these b matters not /b inferred through an b i a fortiori /i /b argument: b Just as Tabor and Carmel, which came only momentarily to study Torah, were /b relocated and b established in Eretz Yisrael /b in reward for their actions, b all the more so /b should b the synagogues and study halls /b in Babylonia, b in which the Torah is read and disseminated, /b be relocated to Eretz Yisrael., b Bar Kappara interpreted /b a verse b homiletically: What is /b the meaning of that b which is written: “Why do you look askance [ i teratzdun /i ], O high-peaked mountains, /b at the mountain that God has desired for His abode” (Psalms 68:17)? b A Divine Voice issued forth and said to /b all the mountains that came and demanded that the Torah be given upon them: b Why do you seek [ i tirtzu /i ] /b to enter into b a legal dispute [ i din /i ] with /b Mount b Sinai? You are all blemished in comparison to /b Mount b Sinai, /b as b it is written here: “High-peaked [ i gavnunnim /i ]” and it is written there, /b with regard to the blemishes that disqualify a priest: b “Or crookbacked [ i gibben /i ] or a dwarf” /b (Leviticus 21:20). b Rav Ashi said: Learn from /b this that b one who is arrogant is /b considered b blemished. /b The other mountains arrogantly insisted that the Torah should be given upon them, and they were therefore described as blemished.,§ The mishna teaches that even if a synagogue fell into ruin, b it may not be made /b into b a i kappendarya /i . /b The Gemara asks: b What is /b meant by b i kappendarya /i ? Rava said: A shortcut, as /b implied by b its name. /b The Gemara clarifies: b What /b do you mean by adding: b As /b implied by b its name? /b It is b like one who said: Instead of going around the /b entire row of b houses [ i makkifna addari /i ] /b to get to the other side, thereby lengthening my journey, b I will enter this /b house and walk through it to the other side. The word i kappendarya /i sounds like a contraction of i makkifna addari /i . This is what Rava meant by saying: As implied by its name., b Rabbi Abbahu said: If /b a public b path had initially /b passed through that location, before the synagogue was built, b it is permitted /b to continue to use it as a shortcut, for the honor due to a synagogue cannot annul the public’s right of access to the path., b Rav Naḥman bar Yitzḥak said: /b With regard to b one who enters /b a synagogue b without intending to make it /b into b a shortcut, /b when he leaves b he is permitted to make it /b into b a shortcut /b for himself, by leaving through the exit on the other side of the building. b And Rabbi Ḥelbo said /b that b Rav Huna said: /b With regard to b one who enters a synagogue to pray, he is permitted to make it /b into b a shortcut /b for himself by leaving through a different exit, and it is fitting to do so, b as it is stated: “And when the people of the land shall come before the Lord in the appointed seasons, he that enters by way of the north gate to bow down shall go forth by the way of the south gate” /b (Ezekiel 46:9). This indicates that it is a show of respect not to leave through the same entrance through which one came in; it is better to leave through the other side.,§ The mishna teaches: If b grass sprang up in /b a ruined synagogue, although it is not befitting its sanctity, b one should not pick /b it, b due to /b the b anguish /b that it will cause to those who see it. It will remind them of the disrepair of the synagogue and the need to rebuild it. The Gemara asks: b But isn’t it taught /b in a i baraita /i : b One may not pick /b the grass b and feed /b it to one’s animals, b but he may pick /b it b and leave /b it there? The Gemara answers: b When we learned /b the prohibition against picking the grass in b the mishna as well, we learned /b only that it is prohibited to b pick /b it and b feed /b it to one’s animals, but it is permitted to leave it there., b The Sages taught /b in a i baraita /i : In b a cemetery, one may not act with frivolity; one may not graze an animal /b on the grass growing b inside it; and one may not direct a water channel /b to pass b through it; and one may not gather grass inside it /b to use the grass as feed for one’s animals; b and if one gathered /b grass for that purpose, b it should be burnt on the spot, out of respect for the dead. /b ,The Gemara clarifies: With regard to the phrase: Out of respect for the dead, b to which /b clause of the i baraita /i does it refer? b If we say /b it is referring b to the last clause, /b that if one gathered grass that it should be burnt out of respect for the dead, then one could ask: b Since /b the grass b is burnt on the spot, /b and not publicly, b what respect for the dead is there /b in this act? b Rather, /b the phrase must be referring b to the first clause /b of the i baraita /i , and it explains why it is prohibited to act with frivolity., strong MISHNA: /strong On four i Shabbatot /i during and surrounding the month of Adar, a Torah portion of seasonal significance is read. When b the New Moon of Adar occurs on Shabbat, /b the congregation b reads the portion of i Shekalim /i /b on that Shabbat. If the New Moon b occurs during /b the middle of b the week, they advance /b the reading of that portion b to the previous /b Shabbat, b and, /b in such a case, b they interrupt /b the reading of the four portions b on the following Shabbat, /b which would be the first Shabbat of the month of Adar, and no additional portion is read on it., b On the second /b Shabbat, the Shabbat prior to Purim, they read the portion: b “Remember /b what Amalek did” (Deuteronomy 25:17–19), which details the mitzva to remember and destroy the nation of Amalek. b On the third /b Shabbat, they read the portion of b the Red Heifer [ i Para /i ] /b (Numbers 19:1–22), which details the purification process for one who became ritually impure through contact with a corpse. b On the fourth /b Shabbat, they read the portion: b “This month [ i haḥodesh /i ] shall be for you” /b (Exodus 12:1–20), which describes the offering of the Paschal lamb. b On the fifth /b Shabbat, b they resume the /b regular weekly b order /b of readings and no special portion is read., b For all /b special days, the congregation b interrupts /b the regular weekly order of readings, and a special portion relating to the character of the day is read. This applies b on the New Moons, on Hanukkah, and on Purim, on fast days, and on the /b non-priestly b watches, and on Yom Kippur. /b , strong GEMARA: /strong b We learned /b in a mishna b there /b ( i Shekalim /i 1:1): b On the first of Adar they make /b a public b announcement concerning /b the forthcoming collection of half- b shekels. /b The money is used for the communal offerings in the Temple in the coming year.

Rav Kahana said: What is the verse /b from which this is derived? b “Prepare for you the road” /b (Deuteronomy 19:3), meaning: b Perform for you preparation of the road. /b ,§ Apropos that i halakha /i , the Gemara cites that b Rav Ḥama bar Ḥanina introduced this portion /b with regard to the i halakhot /i of exile b with an introduction from here: “Good and upright is God; therefore He directs sinners along the way” /b (Psalms 25:8). He said: b If He directs sinners /b by commanding the placing of signs directing them to the city of refuge, it may be inferred b i a fortiori /i /b that He will assist and direct b the righteous /b along the path of righteousness., b Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish introduced this portion with an introduction from here: /b It is stated with regard to an unintentional murderer: b “And one who did not lie in wait, but God caused it to come to his hand, /b and I will appoint you a place where he may flee” (Exodus 21:13). Now this is puzzling. Why would God cause one to sin in this manner? The verse states: b “As the ancient parable says: From the wicked comes forth wickedness” /b (I Samuel 24:13). Evil incidents befall those who have already sinned.,Reish Lakish explains: In this light, the verse “But God caused it to come to his hand” may be understood. b With regard to what /b scenario b is the verse speaking? /b It is b with regard to two people who killed a person, /b where b one killed unintentionally /b while b the other killed intentionally. For this /b person b there are no witnesses /b to his action, b and for that /b person b there are no witnesses /b to his action; therefore, neither received the appropriate punishment of exile and execution, respectively. b The Holy One, Blessed be He, summons them to one inn. This /b person b who killed intentionally sits beneath a ladder, and that /b person b who killed unintentionally descends the ladder, and /b he b falls upon him and kills him. /b There were witnesses to that incident and therefore, b that /b person b who killed intentionally is killed, and that /b person b who killed unintentionally is exiled, /b each receiving what he deserved.,Apropos the path upon which God leads people, the Gemara cites a statement that b Rabba bar Rav Huna says /b that b Rav Huna says, and some say /b it was a statement that b Rav Huna says /b that b Rabbi Elazar says: From the Torah, from the Prophets, and from the Writings /b one learns that b along the path a person wishes to proceed, one leads /b and assists b him. /b ,One learns this b from the Torah, as it is written /b that initially God said to Balaam with regard to the contingent dispatched by Balak: b “You shall not go with them” /b (Numbers 22:12). After Balaam implored Him and indicated his desire to go with them, b it is written: “Arise, go with them” /b (Numbers 22:20). One learns this b from the Prophets, as it is written: “I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you for your profit, Who leads you on the path that you go” /b (Isaiah 48:17), indicating that along the path that one seeks to go, God will direct him. One learns this b from the Writings, as it is written: “If one seeks the cynics, He will cause him to join the cynics, but to the humble He will give grace” /b (Proverbs 3:34), indicating that if one chooses cynicism God will direct him there and if he opts for humility God will grant him grace.,§ The Gemara resumes its discussion of the i halakhot /i of exile. b Rav Huna says: /b In the case of an unintentional b murderer who was exiled to a city of refuge, and the blood redeemer found him /b on the way b and killed him, /b he is b exempt. /b The Gemara notes: b Rav Huna holds /b that the verse: “Lest the blood redeemer pursue the murderer…and strike him fatally… b and for him there is no sentence of death, /b as he did not hate him from before” (Deuteronomy 19:6), b is written with regard to the blood redeemer, /b teaching that the blood redeemer is not liable to be executed for killing the murderer.,The Gemara b raises an objection /b to the opinion of Rav Huna from a i baraita /i : b “And for him there is no sentence of death”; the verse is speaking with regard to the /b unintentional b murderer, /b teaching that the unintentional murderer is not liable to be executed. That is why the Jewish people were commanded to establish cities of refuge to protect him. The i baraita /i proceeds to prove that the verse is written with regard to the murderer. b Do you say /b that it is speaking b with regard to the /b unintentional b murderer, or /b is it speaking b only with regard to the blood redeemer? When it states /b in an earlier verse: b “And he did not hate him from before” /b (Deuteronomy 19:4), it is clear that the reference is to the unintentional murderer, and therefore, b you must say /b that in the phrase: “And for him there is no sentence of death,” b the verse is speaking with regard to the /b unintentional b murderer. /b ,The Gemara answers: Rav Huna b states /b his opinion b in accordance with /b the opinion of b that /b following b i tanna /i , as it is taught /b in another i baraita /i : b “And for him there is no sentence of death”; the verse is speaking with regard to the blood redeemer. /b The i baraita /i clarifies: b Do you say /b that it is speaking b with regard to the blood redeemer, or /b is it speaking b only with regard to /b the unintentional b murderer? When it states: “As he did not hate him from before,” /b the unintentional b murderer /b is already b stated, /b as that phrase certainly is referring to him. b How do I realize /b the meaning of the verse: b “And for him there is no sentence of death”? /b It is b with regard to the blood redeemer /b that b the verse is speaking. /b ,The Gemara cites proof concerning Rav Huna’s ruling from the mishna. b We learned /b in the mishna: b And they would provide /b the unintentional murderer fleeing to a city of refuge with b two Torah scholars, /b due to the concern that b perhaps /b the blood redeemer b will /b seek to b kill him in transit, and /b in that case b they will talk to /b the blood redeemer. The Gemara asks: b What, is it not that /b the Torah scholars b forewarn him that if he kills /b the unintentional murderer b he /b would be b liable to be executed? /b That contradicts Rav Huna’s opinion that a blood redeemer who kills the unintentional murderer is exempt.,The Gemara rejects this proof: b No, /b the statement of the Torah scholars to the blood redeemer can be explained b as it is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b And they will speak to him /b about b matters appropriate to him. They say to /b the blood redeemer: b Do not accord him treatment /b appropriate for b murderers, /b as it was b unintentionally /b that b he came to be involved in the incident. Rabbi Meir says: /b The unintentional murderer too b speaks [ i medabber /i ] on his own behalf /b to dissuade the blood redeemer, b as it is stated: “And this is the matter [ i devar /i ] of the murderer, /b who shall flee there and live” (Deuteronomy 19:4), indicating that the murderer himself apologizes and speaks to the blood redeemer. The Sages b said to /b Rabbi Meir: b Many /b matters b are performed /b more effectively through b agency. /b ,The Gemara analyzes the i baraita /i . b The Master says /b in the i baraita /i : It was b unintentionally /b that b he came to be involved in the incident. /b The Gemara asks: Isn’t this b obvious? As, if it were intentionally /b that he killed a person, b is he liable to be exiled? /b The Gemara answers: b Yes, /b even intentional murderers flee to a city of refuge on occasion.,The Gemara continues: b And /b so b it is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Yehuda, says: Initially, either /b one who killed another b unintentionally or /b one who killed another b intentionally /b would b hurry /b and flee b to the cities of refuge, and the court /b in his city would b send /b for him b and /b would b bring him from there /b to stand trial.,The i baraita /i continues: With regard to b one who was /b found b liable /b to receive the b death /b penalty for intentional murder, after the trial the court b would execute him, as it is stated: “And the elders of his city shall send and take him from there and deliver him into the hands of the blood redeemer and he shall die” /b (Deuteronomy 19:12). And with regard to b one who was not /b found b liable /b to receive the b death /b penalty, e.g., if they deemed that it was due to circumstances beyond his control, b they freed him, as it is stated: “And the congregation shall rescue the murderer from the hands of the blood redeemer” /b (Numbers 35:25). With regard to b one who was /b found b liable to be exiled, /b the court would b restore him to his place /b in the city of refuge, b as it is stated: /b “And the congregation shall judge between the murderer and the blood redeemer… b and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, that he fled there” /b (Numbers 35:24–25).,The i baraita /i continues: b Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi b says: /b The Torah does not command intentional murderers to flee to a city of refuge; rather, the Torah is cognizant of the fact that in practice, intentional murderers b would exile /b themselves b on their own, /b as b they thought /b that they would be b admitted /b to these cities, which would provide refuge for b both unintentional and intentional /b murderers, b and they do not know that /b only those who murder b unintentionally are admitted /b to these cities, but those who murder b intentionally are not admitted. /b ,§ b Rabbi Elazar says: /b An unintentional murderer b is not admitted to a city /b of refuge b whose majority /b consists of unintentional b murderers, as it is stated /b with regard to an unintentional murderer who fled to a city of refuge: b “And he shall speak his matters in the ears of the elders of that city” /b (Joshua 20:4), indicating that there is some novel element in the matters that he seeks to convey to the elders of the town, b but not when their matters are equal to his matters, /b as those elders made the same statements when they arrived at the city of refuge as unintentional murderers., b And Rabbi Elazar says: /b An unintentional murderer b is not admitted to a city in which there are no elders, as we require /b the fulfillment of the verse: “And he shall speak in the ears of b the elders of the city” /b (Joshua 20:4), b and there are none. It was stated: A city in which there are no elders /b is the subject of a dispute between b Rabbi Ami and Rabbi Asi. One says: /b An unintentional murderer b is admitted /b there, b and one says: /b An unintentional murderer b is not admitted /b there. The Gemara explains: b According to the one who says /b that an unintentional murderer b is not admitted to a city in which there are no elders, /b his reasoning is due to the fact that b we require /b the presence of b the elders of the city and there are none. According to the one who says /b that an unintentional murderer b is admitted /b there, his reasoning is that he holds that speaking to the elders is b merely a mitzva /b i ab initio /i , but it does not affect the city’s status as a city of refuge., b And a city in which there are no elders /b is the subject of another dispute between b Rabbi Ami and Rabbi Asi. One says: /b One b can become a wayward and rebellious son in it. And one says: /b One b cannot become a wayward and rebellious son in it. /b The Gemara explains: b According to the one who says /b that one b cannot become wayward and rebellious son in it, /b it is due to the fact that b we require /b the presence of the elders of the city, as it is written: “And his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to b the elders of his city /b and the gate of his place” (Deuteronomy 21:19), b and there are none. According to the one who says /b that one b can become a wayward and rebellious son in it, /b the presence of the elders is b merely a mitzva /b i ab initio /i ., b And a city in which there are no elders /b is the subject of another dispute between b Rabbi Ami and Rabbi Asi. One says: /b If a corpse was discovered proximate to that city, the inhabitants of the city b bring a heifer whose neck is broken. And one says: /b The inhabitants of the city b do not bring a heifer whose neck is broken. /b The Gemara explains: b According to the one who says /b that the inhabitants of the city b do not bring a heifer whose neck is broken, /b it is due to the fact that b we require /b the presence of the elders of the city, as it is written: “And b the elders of that city /b shall bring the calf down to a rough valley” (Deuteronomy 21:4), b and there are no /b elders. b According to the one who says /b that the inhabitants of the city b bring a heifer whose neck is broken, /b the presence of the elders is b merely a mitzva /b i ab initio /i .,§ b Rabbi Ḥama bar Ḥanina says: For what /b reason b was the portion /b discussing b murderers stated /b

We derive it b from Ephron. Initially, it is written /b that Ephron said to Abraham: b “A piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, /b what is that between me and you?” (Genesis 23:15). And b ultimately it is written: “And Abraham listened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant” /b (Genesis 23:16), i.e., shekels that could be used in any location. This teaches b that /b not only did Ephron take shekels from Abraham, b he took from him only centenaria [ i kantarei /i ], /b i.e., superior coins, b as there is a place where they call a shekel a centenarius. /b ,The verse states: “Make ready quickly three measures of flour, fine flour” (Genesis 18:6). The Gemara questions the apparent redundancy. b It is written: “Flour,” and it is /b also b written: “Fine flour.” Rabbi Yitzḥak says: From here /b we learn b that a woman is more stingy with guests than a man. /b Sarah wanted to use merely flour, and Abraham persuaded her to use fine flour.,The Gemara continues its analysis of the verses. b It is written: “Knead it, and make cakes” /b (Genesis 18:6), and two verses later b it is written: “And he took curd, and milk, and the calf /b which he prepared” (Genesis 18:8). Abraham served these items to the guests, b and yet he did not bring bread before them /b despite having instructed Sarah to prepare baked goods., b Efrayim Miksha’a, disciple of Rabbi Meir, says in the name of Rabbi Meir: Abraham, our forefather, would eat non-sacred food /b only when he was b in /b a state of b ritual purity, /b i.e., he treated his food as though it were consecrated to God. b And Sarah, our foremother, menstruated that day, /b which rendered the baked goods ritually impure, preventing Abraham from handling them. Therefore, they could not serve bread to their guests.,The next verse states: b “And they said to him: Where is Sarah your wife? And he said: Behold, in the tent” /b (Genesis 18:9). The Gemara explains that this verse serves b to inform /b us b that Sarah, our foremother, was a modest woman, /b as she remained inside while the guests were present. b Rav Yehuda says /b that b Rav says, and some say /b it is b Rabbi Yitzḥak /b who says: b The ministering angels, /b who visited Abraham in the guise of travelers, b knew that Sarah, our foremother, was inside the tent. Rather, what /b was the purpose of their eliciting Abraham’s response: b In the tent? /b It was b in order to endear her to her husband, /b by accentuating Sarah’s modesty., b Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Ḥanina, says: /b They inquired about her b in order to send her /b the b cup of blessing. /b It is customary to recite Grace after Meals over a cup of wine, which is then distributed to those present. b It is taught in the name of Rabbi Yosei: Why are there dots /b in the Torah scroll b upon the letters i alef /i , i yod /i , /b and b i vav /i in /b the word b “to him [ i eilav /i ]”? /b These letters spell i ayo /i , which means: Where is he? b The Torah is teaching the proper etiquette, /b which is b that a person should inquire of his hostess /b about his host, just as he should inquire about the welfare of his hostess from the host. The Gemara asks: b But doesn’t Shmuel say: One may not inquire about the welfare of a woman at all, /b as this is immodest? The Gemara answers: A greeting b by means of her husband is different. /b Asking a husband about his wife is not considered immodest.,The Gemara analyzes the verses that describe Sarah at the time: “And Sarah laughed within herself, saying: b After I am waxed old [ i veloti /i ] shall I have pleasure [ i edna /i ]” /b (Genesis 18:12). b Rav Ḥisda says: After the skin had worn out [ i nitballa /i ] and become full of wrinkles, the skin once again became soft [ i nitadden /i ] and her wrinkles smoothed out, and /b Sarah’s b beauty returned to its place. /b , b It is written /b that Sarah said: b “And my lord is old” /b (Genesis 18:12), b and it is written: /b “And the Lord said to Abraham: Why did Sarah laugh, saying: Shall I certainly bear a child, b and I am old?” /b (Genesis 18:13). This verse indicates that b the Holy One, Blessed be He, did not repeat /b to Abraham b that /b which Sarah actually b said, /b that her husband is old. Why did God change the wording of her statement so that she was referring to herself?, b The school of Rabbi Yishmael taught: Peace is /b of such b great /b importance b that even the Holy One, Blessed be He, altered /b the truth for the sake of preserving peace, b as it is stated: “And Sarah laughed within herself, /b saying: After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, b and my lord is old,” and it is written: “And the Lord said to Abraham: /b Why did Sarah laugh, saying: Shall I certainly bear a child, b and I am old?” /b ,In reference to Sarah having given birth to Isaac, the verse states: b “And she said: Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah should nurse children?” /b (Genesis 21:7). The Gemara asks: b How many children did Sarah nurse? /b Why does the verse use the plural form when she had only one child? b Rabbi Levi says: That day when Abraham weaned his son Isaac, he prepared a great /b celebratory b feast. All of the nations of the world were gossiping and saying /b to each other: b See /b this b old man and old woman who brought a foundling from the market and are saying: He is our son, and moreover they are making a great feast to bolster their claim. /b , b What did Abraham, our forefather, do? He went and invited all of the great /b men b of /b that b generation, and Sarah, our foremother, invited their wives. Each and every one /b of the wives b brought her child with her but did not bring her wet nurse. And a miracle occurred to Sarah, our foremother, and her breasts were opened like two springs, and she nursed all /b of these children. b And still /b those people b were gossiping and saying /b to each other: Even b if Sarah, /b at b ninety years of age, can give birth, can Abraham, /b at b one hundred years of age, father /b a child? b Immediately, the countece of Isaac’s face transformed and appeared /b exactly like that b of Abraham. Everyone exclaimed and said: “Abraham fathered Isaac” /b (Genesis 25:19).,§ The Gemara continues discussing Abraham: b Until Abraham, there was no aging, /b i.e., old age was not physically recognizable. Consequently, b one who wanted to speak to Abraham /b would mistakenly b speak to Isaac, /b and vice versa: An individual who wanted to speak b to Isaac /b would b speak to Abraham, /b as they were indistinguishable. b Abraham came and prayed for mercy, and aging was /b at last noticeable, b as it is stated: “And Abraham was old, well stricken in age” /b (Genesis 24:1), which is the first time that aging is mentioned in the Bible., b Until Jacob, there was no illness /b leading up to death; rather, one would die suddenly. b Jacob came and prayed for mercy, and illness was /b brought to the world, allowing one to prepare for his death, b as it is stated: “And one said to Joseph: Behold, your father is sick” /b (Genesis 48:1), which is the first time that sickness preceding death is mentioned in the Bible. b Until Elisha, one did not fall ill and /b then b heal, /b as everyone who fell ill would die. b Elisha came and prayed for mercy and he was healed, as it is written: “Now Elisha fell ill with his illness from which he was to die” /b (II Kings 13:14). b By inference, /b one can derive that b he /b had previously b fallen ill /b with b other illnesses /b from which he did not die., b The Sages taught: Elisha fell ill with three illnesses: One /b was due to the fact b that he pushed Gehazi away with both hands, /b i.e., he banished Gehazi without granting him a chance to repent (see II Kings, chapter 5). b One /b was due to the fact b that he incited bears against young children /b (see II Kings 2:23–25). b And one /b was the illness b from which he died, as it is stated: “Now Elisha fell ill of his illness from which he was to die” /b (II Kings 13:14).,§ The mishna (83a) teaches that Rabbi Yoḥa ben Matya said to his son: b Rather, before they begin /b engaging b in /b their b labor, go out and say to them: /b The stipulation that food will be provided is b on the condition that you have /b the right to claim b from me only /b a meal of b bread and legumes, /b which is the typical meal given to laborers. b Rav Aḥa, son of Rav Yosef, said to Rav Ḥisda: /b Did b we learn: Bread of legumes [ i pat kitnit /i ], /b i.e., inferior-quality bread made of legumes, b or /b did b we learn: Bread and legumes [ i pat vekitnit /i ]? /b Rav Ḥisda b said to him: By God! /b That word i vekitnit /i b requires /b at its beginning the letter b i vav /i /b as large b as an oar [ i mordeya /i ] /b made b of cypress /b wood [ i deliberot /i ], i.e., i pat vekitnit /i is undoubtedly the correct version.,§ The mishna teaches that b Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: /b The son of Rabbi Yoḥa ben Matya b did not need to state /b this, as the principle is: b Everything is in accordance with the regional custom. /b The Gemara asks: This term: b Everything, /b serves b to add what? /b What is the i tanna /i including by this term? The Gemara answers: It serves b to add that which we learned /b in a i baraita /i : With regard to b one who hires a laborer and said to him: /b I will pay you b as one or two of the residents of the city /b are paid, b he gives him /b wages in accordance b with the lowest wage /b paid in that region. This is b the statement of Rabbi Yehoshua. The Rabbis say: One divides /b the difference b between /b the highest and lowest paid wages, thereby giving the wages to this laborer according to the average of the regional custom. This i halakha /i is alluded to in the statement of Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel., strong MISHNA: /strong This mishna details the i halakha /i that a laborer is permitted to eat from the produce with which he is working. b And these /b laborers b may eat by Torah law: /b A laborer b who works with /b produce b attached to the ground at the time of the completion of /b its b work, /b e.g., harvesting produce; b and /b a laborer who works b with /b produce b detached from the ground before the completion of its work, /b i.e., before it is sufficiently processed and thereby subject to tithes. b And /b this is the i halakha /i provided that they are working b with an item whose growth is from the land. And these /b are laborers who b may not eat: /b A laborer who b works with /b produce b attached to the ground /b

1.1. "Regarding the verse that was written by Shlomo which says, \"See a man that is diligent with his labor, before Kings he will stand; he will not stand before mean men.\" \"See a man diligent with his labor\", this is Joseph, as it is written about him: \"And he went to the house to perform his labor (Genesis 39).\" Rabbi Judah and Rabbi Nehemiah...Rabbi Judah says, \"It was a disgraceful day, it was a festival, a day of performances.\" Rabbi Nehemiah says, \"It was a day of performances of the Nile River, they all went to look at it. He (Joseph) entered to perform his labor, to calculate the calculations of his Master.\" Rabbi Phineas says in the name of Rabbi Samuel bar Abba, \"Everyone that serves his master properly, he will go out to freedom. From where do we learn this? From Joseph! Through his serving his master fittingly, he went out to freedom. Therefore, \"Before kings he will stand\", that is Pharaoh, as it says, \"And Pharaoh sent, and they called Joseph and they brought him up from the pit (Genesis 41).\" \"He will not stand before mean men\", that is Potiphar, for The Holy One Blessed Be He darkened(lit., i.e. blinded) his eyes and castrated him.", 1.2. "An additional meaning: \"See a man diligent in his work, before kings he will stand, he will not stand before mean men.\" That is Moses, our teacher, regarding the work of the Tabernacle. Therefore, before kings he will stand, this is Pharaoh, as it says, \"Hurriedly awaken in the morning and stand before Pharaoh (Exodus 8).\" \"He will not stand before mean men\", this is Jethro. Rabbi Nehemiah said: \"You have made that which is holy, profane!\" Rather, \"Before kings he will stand\", that is King, the King of Kings, the Holy One Blessed Be He. As it is said, \"And he (Moses) was there with the Lord, for 40 days (Exodus 34).\" \"He will not stand before mean men\", that is Pharaoh, as it says: \"And there was dark darkness, etc. (Exodus 10).\"", 1.4. "An additional meaning: \"See a man diligent in his work, before kings he will stand, he will not stand before mean men\", this is Rabbi Hanina. He (Rabbi Hanina) said: \"Once I saw men of the city bringing up (lit., i.e offering, sacrificing) burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. I said, \"All of them are bringing up peace-offerings to Jerusalem and I am not bringing up anything!? What will I do? Immediately I went out to the wilderness of the city, in the ruins of the city, and there I found one stone, I went out, cracked it, chiseled it, and polished it. He said, \"Behold, it is upon me to ascend to Jerusalem.\" He sought to procure workers for himself. He said to them, \"You (plural) bring up to me this stone to Jerusalem.\" He said to him, \"Give us our wages\", 100 gold pieces (\"Zahuvim\" lit. , a type of gold-based currency), and we will bring your stone up to you, to Jerusalem.\" He said to them, \"And thus, from where will I have 100 gold pieces or 50 gold pieces to give to you all!?\" And he did not find for the hour, immediately they went to them. Immediately The Holy One Blessed Be He summoned to him 5 angels, with the appearance of the men (\"Sons of man\" lit.). They said to him, \"Our teacher/master, give to us 5 selas, and we will bring up your stone to Jerusalem, and only that you will give your hand with us. And he he gave his hand with them, and they were found standing in Jerusalem. He sought to give to them their wages, but he could not find them. The story came to the Chamber of Hewn Stone (the High Court). They said to him, \"Our teacher is similar to the ministering angels, they brought up your stone to Jerusalem!\" Immediately he gave to the Wise Men the wages that he was to pay with the angels.",

13.15. "“To whom the word of the Lord came… until the end of eleven years of Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month.” (Jeremiah 1:2-3) R’ Avon said: the lion (ari) came up during the constellation of the lion and destroyed Ariel. ‘The lion came up’ refers to Nebuchadnezzar the wicked, as it is written “A lion has come up from his thicket…” (Jeremiah 4:7) ‘In the constellation of the lion’, “…until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month.” (Jeremiah 1:3) ‘And destroyed Ariel’, “Woe, Ariel, Ariel, the city wherein David encamped!” (Isaiah 29:1) This happened in order that the lion would come in the constellation of the lion and rebuild Ariel. ‘The lion would come’ refers to the Holy One, as it is written “A lion has roared; who will not fear?” (Amos 3:8) ‘In the constellation of the lion’, “…and I will turn their mourning into joy…” (Jeremiah 31:12) ‘And rebuild Ariel’, “The Lord is the builder of Jerusalem; He will gather the outcasts of Israel.” (Psalms 147:2)\n", 22.5. "... “For, like the earth, which gives forth its plants…” (Isaiah 61:11) R’ Pinchas and R’ Chilkiya in the name of R’ Simon: like someone who says to his friend ‘may the Holy One make you grow, may you win your judgment, “And nations shall see your righteousness…” (Isaiah 62:2) R’ Levi said: since in this world anyone who explicitly pronounces the name of the Holy One is liable for death, as it says “And one who blasphemously pronounces the Name of the Lord, shall be put to death…” (Leviticus 24:16) so too in the time to come anyone who explicitly pronounces the name of Jerusalem is liable for death, as it says “…and you shall be called a new name…” (Isaiah 62:2) R’ Levi said: there are six things which the Holy One will renew in the time to come and they are: heavens and earth, the heart, the spirit, the name of the Messiah and the name of Jerusalem. From where do we learn the heavens and earth? “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth…” (Isaiah 65:17) From where do we learn the heart and the spirit? “And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit will I put within you…” (Ezekiel 36:26) And from where do we learn the name of the Messiah? “May his name be forever; before the sun, his name will be magnified…” (Psalms 72:17) And from where do we learn the name of Jerusalem? “…and you shall be called a new name…” (Isaiah 62:2) R’ Levi said: happy is the city whose name is the same as that of her king and whose king’s name is the same as that of her God. Whose name is the same as her king? “…and the name of the city from that day will be ‘The Lord is There.’” (Ezekiel 48:35) Whose king’s name is the same as that of her God? “…and this is his name that he shall be called, The Lord is our righteousness.” (Jeremiah 23:6) ",
