"Wherefore his servants said unto him: ‘Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin; and let her stand before the king, and be a companion unto him; and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.’", 1.3. "So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.", 1.4. "And the damsel was very fair; and she became a companion unto the king, and ministered to him; but the king knew her not.", 1.7. "And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest; and they following Adonijah helped him.", 1.11. "Then Nathan spoke unto Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon, saying: ‘Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?", 1.12. "Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.", 1.13. "Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him: Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thy handmaid, saying: Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?", 1.14. "Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.’", 1.15. "And Bath-sheba went in unto the king into the chamber.—Now the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.—", 1.16. "And Bath-sheba bowed, and prostrated herself unto the king. And the king said: ‘What wouldest thou?’", 1.17.

"And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and thou, my lord the king, knowest it not.", 1.19. "And he hath slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar, the priest, and Joab the captain of the host; but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.", 1.20. "And thou, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.", 1.21. "Otherwise it will come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.’", 1.22. "And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.", 1.23.

"And Nathan said: ‘My lord, O king, hast thou said: Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?", 1.25. "For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king’s sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say: Long live king Adonijah.", 1.26. "But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon hath he not called.", 1.27. "Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not declared unto thy servant who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?’", 1.28. "Then king David answered and said: ‘Call me Bath-sheba.’ And she came into the king’s presence, and stood before the king.", 1.29. "And the king swore and said: ‘As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,", 1.30. "verily as I swore unto thee by the LORD, the God of Israel, saying: Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; verily so will I do this day.’", 1.31. "Then Bath-sheba bowed with her face to the earth, and prostrated herself to the king, and said: ‘Let my lord king David live for ever.’", 1.32. "And king David said: ‘Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada.’ And they came before the king.", 1.33.

"Then ye shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead; and I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah.’", 2.1. "Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying:", 2.2. "’I go the way of all the earth; be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man;", 2.3. "and keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, and His commandments, and His ordices, and His testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself;", 2.4. "that the LORD may establish His word which He spoke concerning me, saying: If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee, said He, a man on the throne of Israel.", 2.5. "Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did unto me, even what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.", 2.6. "Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace.", 2.7. "But show kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table; for so they drew nigh unto me when I fled from Absalom thy brother.", 2.8. "And, behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by the LORD, saying: I will not put thee to death with the sword.", 2.9. "Now therefore hold him not guiltless, for thou art a wise man; and thou wilt know what thou oughtest to do unto him, and thou shalt bring his hoar head down to the grave with blood.’", 2.10. "And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.", 2.11. "And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.", 2.12. "And Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established firmly.", 2.13. "Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said: ‘Comest thou peaceably?’ And he said: ‘Peaceably.’", 2.14. "He said moreover: ‘I have somewhat to say unto thee.’ And she said: ‘Say on.’", 2.15. "And he said: ‘Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign; howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother’s; for it was his from the LORD.", 2.16. "And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not.’ And she said unto him: ‘Say on.’", 2.17.

"And Bath-sheba said: ‘Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.’", 2.19. "Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed down unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king’s mother; and she sat on his right hand.", 2.20. "Then she said: ‘I ask one small petition of thee; deny me not.’ And the king said unto her: ‘Ask on, my mother; for I will not deny thee.’", 2.21. "And she said: ‘Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.’", 2.22. "And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother: ‘And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.’", 2.23. "Then king Solomon swore by the LORD, saying: ‘God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.", 2.24. "Now therefore as the LORD liveth, who hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as He promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day.’", 2.25. "And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him, so that he died.", 2.26. "And unto Abiathar the priest said the king: ‘Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art deserving of death; but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst bear the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.’", 3.3. "And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father; only he sacrificed and offered in the high places. .", 3.4. "And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place; a thousand burnt-offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.", 3.5. "In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said: ‘Ask what I shall give thee.’", 3.6. "And Solomon said: ‘Thou hast shown unto Thy servant David my father great kindness, according as he walked before Thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with Thee; and Thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that Thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.", 3.7. "And now, O LORD my God, Thou hast made Thy servant king instead of David my father; and I am but a little child; I know not how to go out or come in.", 3.8. "And Thy servant is in the midst of Thy people which Thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.", 3.9. "Give Thy servant therefore an understanding heart to judge Thy people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this Thy great people?’", 3.10. "And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing.", 3.11. "And God said unto him: ‘Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern justice;", 3.12. "behold, I have done according to thy word: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there hath been none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.", 3.13. "And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches and honour—so that there hath not been any among the kings like unto thee—all thy days.", 3.14. "And if thou wilt walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.’", 3.15. "And Solomon awoke, and, behold, it was a dream; and he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covet of the LORD, and offered up burnt-offerings, and offered peace-offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.", 3.16. "Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.", 3.17. "And the one woman said: ‘Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.", 3.18. "And it came to pass the third day after I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also; and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.", 3.19. "And this woman’s child died in the night; because she overlay it.", 3.20. "And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thy handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.", 3.21. "And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead; but when I had looked well at it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, whom I did bear.’", 3.22. "And the other woman said: ‘Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son.’ And this said: ‘No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son.’ Thus they spoke before the king.", 3.23. "Then said the king: ‘The one saith: This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead; and the other saith: Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.’", 3.24. "And the king said: ‘Fetch me a sword.’ And they brought a sword before the king.", 3.25. "And the king said: ‘Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.’", 3.26. "Then spoke the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her heart yearned upon her son, and she said: ‘Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it.’ But the other said: ‘It shall be neither mine nor thine; divide it.’", 3.27. "Then the king answered and said: ‘Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.’" 3.28. "And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king; for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do justice.", 4.17. "Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar;", 5.2. "And Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal;", 5.3. "ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and a hundred sheep, beside harts, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fatted fowl.", 5.6. "And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.", 5.7. "And those officers provided victual for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon’s table, every man in his month; they let nothing be lacking.", 5.8. "Barley also and straw for the horses and swift steeds brought they unto the place where it should be, every man according to his charge.", 5.13. "And he spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall; he spoke also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.", 5.32. "And Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the Gebalites did fashion them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.", 6.7. "For the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.—", 7.51. "Thus all the work that king Solomon wrought in the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.", 8.1. "Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’houses of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covet of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.", 8.2. "And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.", 8.3. "And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.", 8.4. "And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; even these did the priests and the Levites bring up.", 8.5. "And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.", 8.6. "And the priests brought in the ark of the covet of the LORD unto its place, into the Sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.", 8.7. "For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.", 8.9. "There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covet with the children of Israel when they came out of the land of Egypt.", 8.10. "And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,", 8.11. "so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.", 8.12. "Then spoke Solomon: The LORD hath said that He would dwell in the thick darkness.", 8.13. "I have surely built Thee a house of habitation, A place for Thee to dwell in for ever.", 8.22. "And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;", 8.23. "and he said: ‘O LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like Thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keepest covet and mercy with Thy servants, that walk before Thee with all their heart;", 8.27. "But will God in very truth dwell on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Thee; how much less this house that I have builded!", 8.28. "Yet have Thou respect unto the prayer of Thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which Thy servant prayeth before Thee this day;", 8.29. "that Thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place whereof Thou hast said: My name shall be there; to hearken unto the prayer which Thy servant shall pray toward this place.", 8.30. "And hearken Thou to the supplication of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place; yea, hear Thou in heaven Thy dwelling-place; and when Thou hearest, forgive.", 8.41. "Moreover concerning the stranger that is not of Thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for Thy name’s sake—", 8.42. "for they shall hear of Thy great name, and of Thy mighty hand, and of Thine outstretched arm—when he shall come and pray toward this house;", 8.43. "hear Thou in heaven Thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to Thee for; that all the peoples of the earth may know Thy name, to fear Thee, as doth Thy people Israel, and that they may know that Thy name is called upon this house which I have built.", 8.64. "The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD; for there he offered the burnt-offering, and the meal-offering, and the fat of the peace-offerings; because the brazen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt-offering, and the meal-offering, and the fat of the peace-offerings.", 8.65. "So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entrance Hamath unto the Brook of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.", 10.1. "And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon because of the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.", 10.2. "And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bore spices and gold very much, and precious stones; and when she was come to Solomon, she spoke with him of all that was in her heart.", 10.3. "And Solomon told her all her questions; there was not any thing hid from the king which he told her not.", 10.4. "And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,", 10.5. "and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his burnt-offering which he offered in the house of the LORD, there was no more spirit in her.", 10.6. "And she said to the king: ‘It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom.", 10.7. "Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it; and, behold, the half was not told me; thou hast wisdom and prosperity exceeding the fame which I heard.", 10.8. "Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, that stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.", 10.9. "Blessed be the LORD thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel; because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made He thee king, to do justice and righteousness.’", 10.10. "And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones; there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.", 10.11. "And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of sandal-wood and precious stones.", 10.12. "And the king made of the sandal-wood pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king’s house, harps also and psalteries for the singers; there came no such sandal-wood, nor was seen, unto this day.", 10.13. "And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.", 10.14. "Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,", 10.15. "beside that which came of the merchants, and of the traffic of the traders, and of all the kings of the mingled people and of the governors of the country.", 10.16. "And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target.", 10.17. "And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold: three pounds of gold went to one shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.", 10.18. "Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.", 10.19. "There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were arms on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the arms.", 10.20. "And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps; there was not the like made in any kingdom.", 10.21. "And all king Solomon’s drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver; it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.", 10.22. "For the king had at sea a navy of Tarshish with the navy of Hiram; once every three years came the navy of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.", 10.23. "So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.", 10.24. "And all the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.", 10.25. "And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.", 10.26. "And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.", 10.27. "And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore-trees that are in the Lowland, for abundance.", 10.28. "And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; also out of Keveh, the king’s merchants buying them of the men of Keveh at a price.", 10.29. "And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Aram, did they bring them out by their means.", 11.4. "For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not whole with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.", 11.5. "For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the detestation of the Ammonites.", 11.6. "And Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.", 11.7. "Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the detestation of Moab, in the mount that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the detestation of the children of Ammon.", 11.8. "And so did he for all his foreign wives, who offered and sacrificed unto their gods.", 11.9. "And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared unto him twice,", 11.10. "and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.", 11.11. "Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon: ‘Forasmuch as this hath been in thy mind, and thou hast not kept My covet and My statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.", 11.12. "Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father’s sake; but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.", 11.13. "Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to thy son; for David My servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen.’", 11.14. "And the LORD raised up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was of the king’s seed in Edom.", 12.16. "And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying: ‘What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse; to your tents, O Israel; now see to thine own house, David.’ So Israel departed unto their tents.", 12.17. "But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.", 14.26. "and he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he even took away all; and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.", 15.15. "And he brought into the house of the LORD the things that his father had hallowed, and the things that himself had hallowed, silver, and gold, and vessels.", 15.18. "Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants; and king Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, that dwelt at Damascus, saying:", 16.21.

1.1. "Now there was a certain man of Ramatayim-żofim, in mount Efrayim, and his name was Elqana, the son of Yeroĥam, the son of Elihu the son of Toĥu, the son of Żuf, an Efratite:", 1.2. "and he had two wives; the name of the one was Ĥanna, and the name of the other Peninna: and Peninna had children, but Ĥanna had no children.", 1.23. "And Elqana her husband said to her, Do what seems good in thy eyes; tarry until thou hast weaned him; only may the Lord establish his word. So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him.", 8.5. "and said to him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.", 8.6. "But the thing displeased Shemu᾽el when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Shemu᾽el prayed to the Lord.", 8.7. "And the Lord said to Shemu᾽el, Hearken to the voice of the people in all that they say to thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.", 8.10. "And Shemu᾽el told all the words of the Lord to the people that asked of him a king.", 8.11. "And he said, This will be the custom of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself on his chariot, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariot.", 8.12. "And he will appoint for himself captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to plough his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and the instruments of his chariots.", 8.13.

"And you shall cry out on that day because of your king which you shall have chosen you; and the Lord will not hear you on that day.", 13.14. "But now thy kingdom shall not endure: the Lord has sought him a man after his own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be a prince over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee.", 16.14. "But the spirit of the Lord departed from Sha᾽ul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him.", 16.15. "And Sha᾽ul’s servants said to him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God is tormenting thee.", 16.16. "Let our lord now command thy servants, who are before thee, to seek out a man, who knows how to play on the lyre: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he will play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.", 16.17. "And Sha᾽ul said to his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.", 16.18. "Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Yishay the Bet-hallaĥmite, that knows how to play, and a fine warrior, and a man of war, and prudent in speech, and a comely person, and the Lord is with him.", 16.19. "So Sha᾽ul sent messengers to Yishay, and said, Send me David thy son, who is with the sheep.", 16.20. "And Yishay took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son to Sha᾽ul.", 16.21. "And David came to Sha᾽ul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.", 16.22. "And Sha᾽ul sent to Yishay, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he has found favour in my eyes.", 17.34. "And David said to Sha᾽ul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:", 17.35. "and I went out after it, and smote it, and delivered it out of its mouth: and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard, and smote it, and slew it.", 17.36. "Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Pelishtian shall be as one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.", 17.37. "And David said, The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Pelishtian. And Sha᾽ul said to David, Go, and the Lord be with thee.", 18.7. "And the women answered one another as they danced, and said, Sha᾽ul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.", 18.11. "And Sha᾽ul raised the spear; for he said, I will smite David to the wall with it. And David turned aside out of his presence twice.", 21.1. "And he arose and departed: and Yehonatan went into the city.", 21.2. "Then David came to Nov to Aĥimelekh the priest: and Aĥimelekh was afraid at meeting David, and said to him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?", 21.3. "And David said to Aĥimelekh the priest, The king has commanded me a business, and has said to me, Let no man know anything of the business about which I am sending thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have despatched my servants to such and such a place.", 21.4. "Now therefore what is under thy hand? give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever there is.", 21.5. "And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread in my hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.", 21.6. "And David answered the priest, and said to him, of a truth women have been kept from us as always when I am on a journey, and the vessels of the young men are holy, (although it is a common journey,) how much more today when there will be hallowed bread in their vessel.", 28.6. "And when Sha᾽ul inquired of the Lord, the Lord answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by the Urim, nor by prophets.",

"Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where [the LORD] appeared unto David his father; for which provision had been made in the Place of David, in the threshingfloor of Or the Jebusite.", 5.12. "also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brethren, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets—", 5.13. "it came even to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD: ‘for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever’; that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD,", 6.9. "nevertheless thou shalt not build the house, but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for My name.", 13.1.

"And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude, and there are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods.", 13.9. "Have ye not driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the peoples of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same becometh a priest of them that are no gods.", 13.10. "But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and we have priests ministering unto the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work;", 13.11. "and they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt-offerings and sweet incense; the showbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening; for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken Him.", 13.12. "And, behold, God is with us at our head, and His priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD, the God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.’", 13.13. "But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them; so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.", 13.14. "And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.", 13.15. "Then the men of Judah gave a shout; and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.", 13.16. "And the children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand.", 13.17. "And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter; so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.", 13.18. "Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD, the God of their fathers.", 13.19. "And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof.", 13.20. "Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah; and the LORD smote him, and he died.", 13.21. "But Abijah waxed mighty, and took unto himself fourteen wives, and begot twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.", 13.22. "And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.",

1.2.

"And God granted Daniel mercy and compassion in the sight of the chief of the officers.", 1.10. "And the chief of the officers said unto Daniel: ‘I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your food and your drink; for why should he see your faces sad in comparison with the youths that are of your own age? so would ye endanger my head with the king.’", 1.11. "Then said Daniel to the steward, whom the chief of the officers had appointed over Daniel, Haiah, Mishael, and Azariah:", 1.12.

2.1. And the angel of the presence spake to Moses according to the word of the Lord, saying: 2.2. Write the complete history of the creation, how in six days the Lord God finished all His works and all that He created, and kept Sabbath on the seventh day and hallowed it for all ages, and appointed it as a sign for all His works. 2.3. For on the first day He created the heavens which are above and the earth and the waters and all the spirits which serve before Him 2.4. --the angels of the presence, and the angels of sanctification, and the angels [of the spirit of fire and the angels] of the spirit of the winds, and the angels of the spirit of the clouds, 2.5. and of darkness, and of snow and of hail and of hoar frost, and the angels of the voices and of the thunder and of the lightning, and the angels of the spirits of cold and of heat, and of winter and of spring and of autumn and of summer, 2.6. and of all the spirits of His creatures which are in the heavens and on the earth, (He created) the abysses and the darkness, eventide (and night), and the light, dawn and day, which He hath prepared in the knowledge of His heart. 2.7. And thereupon we saw His works, and praised Him, and lauded before Him on account of all His works; for seven great works did He create on the first day. 2.8. And on the second day He created the firmament in the midst of the waters, and the waters were divided on that day--half of them went up above and half of them went down below the firmament (that was) in the midst over the face of the whole earth. 2.9. And this was the only work (God) created on the second day. 2.10. And on the third day He commanded the waters to pass from off the face of the whole earth into one place, and the dry land to appear. 2.11. And the waters did so as He commanded them, and they retired from off the face of the earth into one place outside of this firmament, and the dry land appeared. 2.12. And on that day He created for them all the seas according to their separate gathering-places, and all the rivers, and the gatherings of the waters in the mountains and on all the earth, 2.13. and all the lakes, and all the dew of the earth, and the seed which is sown, and all sprouting things, and fruit-bearing trees, and trees of the wood, and the garden of Eden, in Eden, and all (plants after their kind). 2.14. These four great works God created on the third day. 2.15. And on the fourth day He created the sun and the moon and the stars, and set them in the firmament of the heaven, to give light upon all the earth, 2.16. and to rule over the day and the night, and divide the light from the darkness.

25.16. I would rather dwell with a lion and a dragon than dwell with an evil wife. 25.17. The wickedness of a wife changes her appearance,and darkens her face like that of a bear. 25.18. Her husband takes his meals among the neighbors,and he cannot help sighing bitterly. 25.19. Any iniquity is insignificant compared to a wifes iniquity;may a sinners lot befall her! 25.21. Do not be ensnared by a womans beauty,and do not desire a woman for her possessions. 25.22. There is wrath and impudence and great disgrace when a wife supports her husband. 25.23. A dejected mind, a gloomy face,and a wounded heart are caused by an evil wife. Drooping hands and weak knees are caused by the wife who does not make her husband happy. 25.24. From a woman sin had its beginning,and because of her we all die. 25.25. Allow no outlet to water,and no boldness of speech in an evil wife. 25.26. If she does not go as you direct,separate her from yourself. 47.2. As the fat is selected from the peace offering,so David was selected from the sons of Israel. 47.2. You put stain upon your honor,and defiled your posterity,so that you brought wrath upon your children and they were grieved at your folly, 47.3. He played with lions as with young goats,and with bears as with lambs of the flock. 47.4. In his youth did he not kill a giant,and take away reproach from the people,when he lifted his hand with a stone in the sling and struck down the boasting of Goliath? 47.5. For he appealed to the Lord, the Most High,and he gave him strength in his right hand to slay a man mighty in war,to exalt the power of his people. 47.6. So they glorified him for his ten thousands,and praised him for the blessings of the Lord,when the glorious diadem was bestowed upon him. 47.7. For he wiped out his enemies on every side,and annihilated his adversaries the Philistines;he crushed their power even to this day. 47.8. In all that he did he gave thanks to the Holy One, the Most High, with ascriptions of glory;he sang praise with all his heart,and he loved his Maker. 47.9. He placed singers before the altar,to make sweet melody with their voices. 47.11. The Lord took away his sins,and exalted his power for ever;he gave him the covet of kings and a throne of glory in Israel. 47.12. After him rose up a wise son who fared amply because of him; 47.13. Solomon reigned in days of peace,and God gave him rest on every side,that he might build a house for his name and prepare a sanctuary to stand for ever. 47.14. How wise you became in your youth!You overflowed like a river with understanding. 47.15. Your soul covered the earth,and you filled it with parables and riddles. 47.16. Your name reached to far-off islands,and you were loved for your peace. 47.17. For your songs and proverbs and parables,and for your interpretations, the countries marveled at you. 47.18. In the name of the Lord God,who is called the God of Israel,you gathered gold like tin and amassed silver like lead. 47.19. But you laid your loins beside women,and through your body you were brought into subjection. 47.21. so that the sovereignty was divided and a disobedient kingdom arose out of Ephraim. 47.22. But the Lord will never give up his mercy,nor cause any of his works to perish;he will never blot out the descendants of his chosen one,nor destroy the posterity of him who loved him;so he gave a remt to Jacob,and to David a root of his stock. 47.23. Solomon rested with his fathers,and left behind him one of his sons,ample in folly and lacking in understanding,Rehoboam, whose policy caused the people to revolt. Also Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin and gave to Ephraim a sinful way. 47.24. Their sins became exceedingly many,so as to remove them from their land. 47.25. For they sought out every sort of wickedness,till vengeance came upon them.

7.15. May God grant that I speak with judgment and have thought worthy of what I have received,for he is the guide even of wisdom and the corrector of the wise. 7.16. For both we and our words are in his hand,as are all understanding and skill in crafts. 7.17. For it is he who gave me unerring knowledge of what exists,to know the structure of the world and the activity of the elements; 7.18. the beginning and end and middle of times,the alternations of the solstices and the changes of the seasons, 7.19. the cycles of the year and the constellations of the stars, 7.20. the natures of animals and the tempers of wild beasts,the powers of spirits and the reasonings of men,the varieties of plants and the virtues of roots; 7.21. I learned both what is secret and what is manifest, 7.22. for wisdom, the fashioner of all things, taught me. For in her there is a spirit that is intelligent, holy,unique, manifold, subtle,mobile, clear, unpolluted,distinct, invulnerable, loving the good, keen,irresistible,

123. These things were of themselves terrible and grievous; how could they be otherwise? Surely it was most miserable for men to become beggars from having been wealthy, and to be reduced on a sudden from a state of abundance to one of utter indigence, without having done any wrong, and to be rendered houseless and homeless, being driven out and expelled from their own houses, that thus, being compelled to dwell in the open air day and night, they might be destroyed by the burning heat of the sun or by the cold of the night.

But David fell now into a very grievous sin, though he were otherwise naturally a righteous and a religious man, and one that firmly observed the laws of our fathers; for when late in an evening he took a view round him from the roof of his royal palace, where he used to walk at that hour, he saw a woman washing herself in her own house: she was one of extraordinary beauty, and therein surpassed all other women; her name was Bathsheba. So he was overcome by that woman’s beauty, and was not able to restrain his desires, but sent for her, and lay with her. 7.131. Hereupon she conceived with child, and sent to the king, that he should contrive some way for concealing her sin (for, according to the laws of their fathers, she who had been guilty of adultery ought to be put to death). So the king sent for Joab’s armor-bearer from the siege, who was the woman’s husband, and his name was Uriah. And when he was come, the king inquired of him about the army, and about the siege; 7.132. and when he had made answer that all their affairs went according to their wishes, the king took some portions of meat from his supper, and gave them to him, and bade him go home to his wife, and take his rest with her. Uriah did not do so, but slept near the king with the rest of his armor-bearers. 7.133. When the king was informed of this, he asked him why he did not go home to his house, and to his wife, after so long an absence; which is the natural custom of all men, when they come from a long journey. He replied, that it was not right, while his fellow soldiers, and the general of the army, slept upon the ground, in the camp, and in an enemy’s country, that he should go and take his rest, and solace himself with his wife. 7.134. So when he had thus replied, the king ordered him to stay there that night, that he might dismiss him the next day to the general. So the king invited Uriah to supper, and after a cunning and dexterous manlier plied him with drink at supper, till he was thereby disordered; yet did he nevertheless sleep at the king’s gates without any inclination to go to his wife. 7.135. Upon this the king was very angry at him; and wrote to Joab, and commanded him to punish Uriah, for he told him that he had offended him; and he suggested to him the manner in which he would have him punished, that it might not be discovered that he was himself the author of this his punishment; 7.136. for he charged him to set him over against that part of the enemy’s army where the attack would be most hazardous, and where he might be deserted, and be in the greatest jeopardy, for he bade him order his fellow soldiers to retire out of the fight. When he had written thus to him, and sealed the letter with his own seal, he gave it to Uriah to carry to Joab. 7.137. When Joab had received it, and upon reading it understood the king’s purpose, he set Uriah in that place where he knew the enemy would be most troublesome to them; and gave him for his partners some of the best soldiers in the army; and said that he would also come to their assistance with the whole army, that if possible they might break down some part of the wall, and enter the city. 7.138. And he desired him to be glad of the opportunity of exposing himself to such great pains, and not to be displeased at it, since he was a valiant soldier, and had a great reputation for his valor, both with the king and with his countrymen. And when Uriah undertook the work he was set upon with alacrity, he gave private orders to those who were to be his companions, that when they saw the enemy make a sally, they should leave him. 7.139. When, therefore, the Hebrews made an attack upon the city, the Ammonites were afraid that the enemy might prevent them, and get up into the city, and this at the very place whither Uriah was ordered; so they exposed their best soldiers to be in the forefront, and opened their gates suddenly, and fell upon the enemy with great vehemence, and ran violently upon them. 7.140. When those that were with Uriah saw this, they all retreated backward, as Joab had directed them beforehand; but Uriah, as ashamed to run away and leave his post, sustained the enemy, and receiving the violence of their onset, he slew many of them; but being encompassed round, and caught in the midst of them, he was slain, and some other of his companions were slain with him. 7.141. 2. When this was done, Joab sent messengers to the king, and ordered them to tell him that he did what he could to take the city soon; but that, as they made an assault on the wall, they had been forced to retire with great loss; and bade them, if they saw the king was angry at it, to add this, that Uriah was slain also. 7.142. When the king had heard this of the messengers, he took it heinously, and said that they did wrong when they assaulted the wall, whereas they ought, by undermining and other stratagems of war, to endeavor the taking of the city, especially when they had before their eyes the example of Abimelech, the son of Gideon, who would needs take the tower in Thebes by force, and was killed by a large stone thrown at him by an old woman; and although he was a man of great prowess, he died ignominiously by the dangerous manner of his assault: 7.143. that they should remember this accident, and not come near the enemy’s wall, for that the best method of making war with success was to call to mind the accidents of former wars, and what good or bad success had attended them in the like dangerous cases, that so they might imitate the one, and avoid the other. 7.144. But when the king was in this disposition, the messenger told him that Uriah was slain also; whereupon he was pacified. So he bade the messenger go back to Joab and tell him that this misfortune is no other than what is common among mankind, and that such is the nature, and such the accidents of war, insomuch that sometimes the enemy will have success therein, and sometimes others; 7.145. but that he ordered him to go on still in his care about the siege, that no ill accident might befall him in it hereafter; that they should raise bulwarks and use machines in besieging the city; and when they have gotten it, to overturn its very foundations, and to destroy all those that are in it. Accordingly the messenger carried the king’s message with which he was charged, and made haste to Joab. 7.146. But Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah, when she was informed of the death of her husband, mourned for his death many days; and when her mourning was over, and the tears which she shed for Uriah were dried up, the king took her to wife presently; and a son was born to him by her. 7.147. 3. With this marriage God was not well pleased, but was thereupon angry at David; and he appeared to Nathan the prophet in his sleep, and complained of the king. Now Nathan was a fair and prudent man; and considering that kings, when they fall into a passion, are guided more by that passion than they are by justice, he resolved to conceal the threatenings that proceeded from God, and made a good-natured discourse to him, and this after the manner following:— 7.148. He desired that the king would give him his opinion in the following case:—“There were,” said he, “two men inhabiting the same city, the one of them was rich, and [the other poor]. The rich man had a great many flocks of cattle, of sheep, and of kine; but the poor man had but one ewe lamb. 7.149. This he brought up with his children, and let her eat her food with them; and he had the same natural affection for her which any one might have for a daughter. Now upon the coming of a stranger to the rich man, he would not vouchsafe to kill any of his own flocks, and thence feast his friend; but he sent for the poor man’s lamb, and took her away from him, and made her ready for food, and thence feasted the stranger.” 7.150. This discourse troubled the king exceedingly; and he denounced to Nathan, that “this man was a wicked man who could dare to do such a thing; and that it was but just that he should restore the lamb fourfold, and be punished with death for it also.” Upon this Nathan immediately said that he was himself the man who ought to suffer those punishments, and that by his own sentence; and that it was he who had perpetrated this ‘great and horrid crime.’ 7.151. He also revealed to him, and laid before him, the anger of God against him, who had made him king over the army of the Hebrews, and lord of all the nations, and those many and great nations round about him; who had formerly delivered him out of the hands of Saul, and had given him such wives as he had justly and legally married; and now this God was despised by him, and affronted by his impiety, when he had married, and now had, another man’s wife; and by exposing her husband to the enemy, had really slain him; 7.152. that God would inflict punishments upon him on account of those instances of wickedness; that his own wives should be forced by one of his sons; and that he should be treacherously supplanted by the same son; and that although he had perpetrated his wickedness secretly, yet should that punishment which he was to undergo be inflicted publicly upon him; “that, moreover,” said he, “the child which was born to thee of her shall soon die.” 7.153. When the king was troubled at these messages, and sufficiently confounded, and said with tears and sorrow that he had sinned, (for he was without controversy a pious man, and guilty of no sin at all in his whole life, excepting those in the matter of Uriah,) God had compassion on him, and was reconciled to him, and promised that he would preserve to him both his life and his kingdom; for he said that, seeing he repented of the things he had done, he was no longer displeased with him. So Nathan, when he had delivered this prophecy to the king, returned home. 7.154. 4. However, God sent a dangerous distemper upon the child that was born to David of the wife of Uriah, at which the king was troubled, and did not take any food for seven days, although his servants almost forced him to take it; but he clothed himself in a black garment, and fell down, and lay upon the ground in sackcloth, entrusting God for the recovery of the child, for he vehemently loved the child’s mother; 7.155. but when, on the seventh day, the child was dead, the king’s servants durst not tell him of it, as supposing that when he knew it, he would still less admit of food, and other care of himself, by reason of his grief at the death of his son, since when the child was only sick, he so greatly afflicted himself, and grieved for him: 7.156. but when the king perceived that his servants were in disorder, and seemed to be affected, as those who are very desirous to conceal something, he understood that the child was dead; and when he had called one of his servants to him, and discovered that so it was, he arose up and washed himself, and took a white garment, and came into the tabernacle of God. 7.157. He also commanded them to set supper before him, and thereby greatly surprised his kindred and servants, while he did nothing of this when the child was sick, but did it all when he was dead. Whereupon having first begged leave to ask him a question, they besought him to tell them the reason of this his conduct; he then called them unskillful people, 7.158. and instructed them how he had hopes of the recovery of the child while it was alive, and accordingly did all that was proper for him to do, as thinking by such means to render God propitious to him; but that when the child was dead, there was no longer any occasion for grief, which was then to no purpose. When he had said this, they commended the king’s wisdom and understanding. He then went in unto Bathsheba his wife, and she conceived and bare a son; and by the command of Nathan the prophet called his name Solomon. 7.159. 5. But Joab sorely distressed the Ammonites in the siege, by cutting off their waters, and depriving them of other means of subsistence, till they were in the greatest want of meat and drink, for they depended only on one small well of water, and this they durst not drink of too freely, lest the fountain should entirely fail them. 7.160. So he wrote to the king, and informed him thereof; and persuaded him to come himself to take the city, that he might have the honor of the victory. Upon this letter of Joab’s, the king accepted of his good-will and fidelity, and took with him his army, and came to the destruction of Rabbah; and when he had taken it by force, he gave it to his soldiers to plunder it; 7.161. but he himself took the king of the Ammonites’ crown, whose weight was a talent of gold; and it had in its middle a precious stone called a sardonyx; which crown David ever after wore on his own head. He also found many other vessels in the city, and those both splendid and of great price; but as for the men, he tormented them, and then destroyed them; and when he had taken the other cities of the Ammonites by force, he treated them after the same manner. 7.390. This man was of an excellent character, and was endowed with all virtues that were desirable in a king, and in one that had the preservation of so many tribes committed to him; for he was a man of valor in a very extraordinary degree, and went readily and first of all into dangers, when he was to fight for his subjects, as exciting the soldiers to action by his own labors, and fighting for them, and not by commanding them in a despotic way. 7.391. He was also of very great abilities in understanding, and apprehension of present and future circumstances, when he was to manage any affairs. He was prudent and moderate, and kind to such as were under any calamities; he was righteous and humane, which are good qualities, peculiarly fit for kings; nor was he guilty of any offense in the exercise of so great an authority, but in the business of the wife of Uriah. He also left behind him greater wealth than any other king, either of the Hebrews or, of other nations, ever did. 8.21. 1. Solomon having already settled himself firmly in his kingdom, and having brought his enemies to punishment, he married the daughter of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and built the walls of Jerusalem much larger and stronger than those that had been before, and thenceforward he managed public affairs very peaceably. Nor was his youth any hinderance in the exercise of justice, or in the observation of the laws, or in the remembrance of what charges his father had given him at his death; but he discharged every duty with great accuracy, that might have been expected from such as are aged, and of the greatest prudence. 8.22. He now resolved to go to Hebron, and sacrifice to God upon the brazen altar that was built by Moses. Accordingly he offered there burnt-offerings, in number a thousand; and when he had done this, he thought he had paid great honor to God; for as he was asleep that very night God appeared to him, and commanded him to ask of him some gifts which he was ready to give him as a reward for his piety. 8.23. So Solomon asked of God what was most excellent, and of the greatest worth in itself, what God would bestow with the greatest joy, and what it was most profitable for man to receive; for he did not desire to have bestowed upon him either gold or silver, or any other riches, as a man and a youth might naturally have done, for these are the things that generally are esteemed by most men, as alone of the greatest worth, and the best gifts of God; but, said he, “Give me, O Lord, a sound mind, and a good understanding, whereby I may speak and judge the people according to truth and righteousness.” 8.24. With these petitions God was well pleased; and promised to give him all those things that he had not mentioned in his option, riches, glory, victory over his enemies; and, in the first place, understanding and wisdom, and this in such a degree as no other mortal man, neither kings nor ordinary persons, ever had. He also promised to preserve the kingdom to his posterity for a very long time, if he continued righteous and obedient to him, and imitated his father in those things wherein he excelled. 8.25. When Solomon heard this from God, he presently leaped out of his bed; and when he had worshipped him, he returned to Jerusalem; and after he had offered great sacrifices before the tabernacle, he feasted all his own family. 8.42. 5. Now the sagacity and wisdom which God had bestowed on Solomon was so great, that he exceeded the ancients; insomuch that he was no way inferior to the Egyptians, who are said to have been beyond all men in understanding; nay, indeed, it is evident that their sagacity was very much inferior to that of the king’s. 8.43. He also excelled and distinguished himself in wisdom above those who were most eminent among the Hebrews at that time for shrewdness; those I mean were Ethan, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol. 8.44. He also composed books of odes and songs a thousand and five, of parables and similitudes three thousand; for he spake a parable upon every sort of tree, from the hyssop to the cedar; and in like manner also about beasts, about all sorts of living creatures, whether upon the earth, or in the seas, or in the air; for he was not unacquainted with any of their natures, nor omitted inquiries about them, but described them all like a philosopher, and demonstrated his exquisite knowledge of their several properties. 8.45. God also enabled him to learn that skill which expels demons, which is a science useful and sanative to men. He composed such incantations also by which distempers are alleviated. And he left behind him the manner of using exorcisms, by which they drive away demons, so that they never return; 8.46. and this method of cure is of great force unto this day; for I have seen a certain man of my own country, whose name was Eleazar, releasing people that were demoniacal in the presence of Vespasian, and his sons, and his captains, and the whole multitude of his soldiers. The manner of the cure was this: 8.174. 6. Now when the queen had thus demonstrated in words how deeply the king had affected her, her disposition was known by certain presents, for she gave him twenty talents of gold, and an immense quantity of spices and precious stones. (They say also that we possess the root of that balsam which our country still bears by this woman’s gift.) 8.178. Now we have said thus much, that nobody may be ignorant of the difference between these sorts of wood, nor unacquainted with the nature of the genuine pine tree; and we thought it both a seasonable and humane thing, when we mentioned it, and the uses the king made of it, to explain this difference so far as we have done. 9.7. 2. About the same time the Moabites and Ammonites made an expedition against Jehoshaphat, and took with them a great body of Arabians, and pitched their camp at Engedi, a city that is situate at the lake Asphaltitis, and distant three hundred furlongs from Jerusalem. In that place grows the best kind of palm trees, and the opobalsamum. 10.82. but as the king of Egypt returned from the battle, he sent for Jehoahaz to come to him, to the city called Hamath which belongs to Syria; and when he was come, he put him in bands, and delivered the kingdom to a brother of his, by the father’s side, whose name was Eliakim, and changed his name to Jehoiakim and laid a tribute upon the land of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold; 10.102. And when these were brought to him, he kept them in custody, and appointed Jehoiachin’s uncle, Zedekiah, to be king; and made him take an oath, that he would certainly keep the kingdom for him, and make no innovation, nor have any league of friendship with the Egyptians. 10.188. Now among these there were four of the family of Zedekiah, of most excellent dispositions, one of whom was called Daniel, another was called Aias, another Misael, and the fourth Azarias; and the king of Babylon changed their names, and commanded that they should make use of other names. 10.189. Daniel he called Baltasar; Aias, Shadrach; Misael, Meshach; and Azarias, Abednego. These the king had in esteem, and continued to love, because of the very excellent temper they were of, and because of their application to learning, and the profess they had made in wisdom. 14.54. 1. Now when Pompey had pitched his camp at Jericho, (where the palm tree grows, and that balsam which is an ointment of all the most precious, which upon any incision made in the wood with a sharp stone, distills out thence like a juice,) he marched in the morning to Jerusalem. 15.96. 2. When Cleopatra had obtained thus much, and had accompanied Antony in his expedition to Armenia as far as Euphrates, she returned back, and came to Apamia and Damascus, and passed on to Judea, where Herod met her, and farmed of her parts of Arabia, and those revenues that came to her from the region about Jericho. This country bears that balsam, which is the most precious drug that is there, and grows there alone. The place bears also palm trees, both many in number, and those excellent in their kind. 17.171. yet was he still in hopes of recovering, though his afflictions seemed greater than any one could bear. He also sent for physicians, and did not refuse to follow what they prescribed for his assistance, and went beyond the river Jordan, and bathed himself in the warm baths that were at Callirrhoe, which, besides their other general virtues, were also fit to drink; which water runs into the lake called Asphaltitis. 17.172. And when the physicians once thought fit to have him bathed in a vessel full of oil, it was supposed that he was just dying; but upon the lamentable cries of his domestics, he revived; and having no longer the least hopes of recovering, he gave order that every soldier should be paid fifty drachmae; 17.173. and he also gave a great deal to their commanders, and to his friends, and came again to Jericho, where he grew so choleric, that it brought him to do all things like a madman; and though he were near his death, he contrived the following wicked designs.

1.61. 5. And now Antiochus was so angry at what he had suffered from Simeon, that he made an expedition into Judea, and sat down before Jerusalem and besieged Hyrcanus; but Hyrcanus opened the sepulchre of David, who was the richest of all kings, and took thence about three thousand talents in money, and induced Antiochus, by the promise of three thousand talents, to raise the siege. Moreover, he was the first of the Jews that had money enough, and began to hire foreign auxiliaries also. 1.138. 6. But Pompey did not give him time to make any preparations [for a siege], but followed him at his heels; he was also obliged to make haste in his attempt, by the death of Mithridates, of which he was informed about Jericho. Now here is the most fruitful country of Judea, which bears a vast number of palm trees besides the balsam tree, whose sprouts they cut with sharp stones, and at the incisions they gather the juice, which drops down like tears. 1.361. 5. Now as to these her injunctions to Antony, he complied in part; for though he esteemed it too abominable a thing to kill such good and great kings, yet was he thereby alienated from the friendship he had for them. He also took away a great deal of their country; nay, even the plantation of palm trees at Jericho, where also grows the balsam tree, and bestowed them upon her; as also all the cities on this side the river Eleutherus, Tyre and Sidon excepted. 1.656. 5. After this, the distemper seized upon his whole body, and greatly disordered all its parts with various symptoms; for there was a gentle fever upon him, and an intolerable itching over all the surface of his body, and continual pains in his colon, and dropsical tumors about his feet, and an inflammation of the abdomen,—and a putrefaction of his privy member, that produced worms. Besides which he had a difficulty of breathing upon him, and could not breathe but when he sat upright, and had a convulsion of all his members, insomuch that the diviners said those diseases were a punishment upon him for what he had done to the Rabbins. 1.657. Yet did he struggle with his numerous disorders, and still had a desire to live, and hoped for recovery, and considered of several methods of cure. Accordingly, he went over Jordan, and made use of those hot baths at Callirrhoe, which ran into the lake Asphaltitis, but are themselves sweet enough to be drunk. And here the physicians thought proper to bathe his whole body in warm oil, by letting it down into a large vessel full of oil; whereupon his eyes failed him, and he came and went as if he was dying; 1.658. and as a tumult was then made by his servants, at their voice he revived again. Yet did he after this despair of recovery, and gave orders that each soldier should have fifty drachmae a piece, and that his commanders and friends should have great sums of money given them. 1.659. 6. He then returned back and came to Jericho, in such a melancholy state of body as almost threatened him with present death, when he proceeded to attempt a horrid wickedness; for he got together the most illustrious men of the whole Jewish nation, out of every village, into a place called the Hippodrome, and there shut them in. 2.136. They also take great pains in studying the writings of the ancients, and choose out of them what is most for the advantage of their soul and body; and they inquire after such roots and medicinal stones as may cure their distempers. 2.142. Moreover, he swears to communicate their doctrines to no one any otherwise than as he received them himself; that he will abstain from robbery, and will equally preserve the books belonging to their sect, and the names of the angels [or messengers]. These are the oaths by which they secure their proselytes to themselves. 4.462. for he went out of the city to this fountain, and threw into the current an earthen vessel full of salt; after which he stretched out his righteous hand unto heaven, and, pouring out a mild drink-offering, he made this supplication,—That the current might be mollified, and that the veins of fresh water might be opened; 4.463. that God also would bring into the place a more temperate and fertile air for the current, and would bestow upon the people of that country plenty of the fruits of the earth, and a succession of children; and that this prolific water might never fail them, while they continued to be righteous. 4.464. To these prayers Elisha joined proper operations of his hands, after a skillful manner, and changed the fountain; and that water, which had been the occasion of barrenness and famine before, from that time did supply a numerous posterity, and afforded great abundance to the country. 5.137. of these hills, that which contains the upper city is much higher, and in length more direct. Accordingly, it was called the “Citadel,” by king David; he was the father of that Solomon who built this temple at the first; but it is by us called the “Upper Marketplace.” But the other hill, which was called “Acra,” and sustains the lower city, is of the shape of a moon when she is horned; 5.143. But besides that great advantage, as to the place where they were situated, it was also built very strong; because David and Solomon, and the following kings, were very zealous about this work. 6.439. However, David, the king of the Jews, ejected the Canaanites, and settled his own people therein. It was demolished entirely by the Babylonians, four hundred and seventy-seven years and six months after him. 6.440. And from king David, who was the first of the Jews who reigned therein, to this destruction under Titus, were one thousand one hundred and seventy-nine years; 6.441. but from its first building, till this last destruction, were two thousand one hundred and seventy-seven years; 6.442. yet hath not its great antiquity, nor its vast riches, nor the diffusion of its nation over all the habitable earth, nor the greatness of the veneration paid to it on a religious account, been sufficient to preserve it from being destroyed. And thus ended the siege of Jerusalem.

1.1. The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 1.2. Abraham became the father of Isaac. Isaac became the father of Jacob. Jacob became the father of Judah and his brothers. 1.3. Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar. Perez became the father of Hezron. Hezron became the father of Ram. 1.4. Ram became the father of Amminadab. Amminadab became the father of Nahshon. Nahshon became the father of Salmon. 1.5. Salmon became the father of Boaz by Rahab. Boaz became the father of Obed by Ruth. Obed became the father of Jesse. 1.6. Jesse became the father of David the king. David became the father of Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah. 1.7. Solomon became the father of Rehoboam. Rehoboam became the father of Abijah. Abijah became the father of Asa. 1.8. Asa became the father of Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat became the father of Joram. Joram became the father of Uzziah. 1.9. Uzziah became the father of Jotham. Jotham became the father of Ahaz. Ahaz became the father of Hezekiah. 1.10. Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh. Manasseh became the father of Amon. Amon became the father of Josiah. 1.11. Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon. 1.12. After the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel became the father of Zerubbabel. 1.13. Zerubbabel became the father of Abiud. Abiud became the father of Eliakim. Eliakim became the father of Azor. 1.14. Azor became the father of Sadoc. Sadoc became the father of Achim. Achim became the father of Eliud. 1.15. Eliud became the father of Eleazar. Eleazar became the father of Matthan. Matthan became the father of Jacob. 1.16. Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 1.17. So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations. 1.18. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this; for after his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregt by the Holy Spirit. 1.19. Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly. 4.6. and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will give his angels charge concerning you.' and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, So that you don't dash your foot against a stone.'"

17a. b And /b the other b one said: /b They studied there for b seven /b days. b And some say /b they studied there for b thirty /b days., b The Sages taught /b a i baraita /i that offers another interpretation of the verse cited: b “And afforded him [ i lo /i ] honor in his death” /b (II Chronicles 32:33). b This /b is referring to the honor given to b Hezekiah, king of Judea, that /b at his burial b 36,000 /b men with b bared shoulders went out before him. /b They removed their robes from their shoulders as a sign of mourning. The number 36,000 is alluded to by the numerical value of the word i lo /i , which is thirty-six. This is b the statement of Rabbi Yehuda. /b , b Rabbi Neḥemya said to him: But didn’t they /b also b do this before Ahab? /b Apparently, if they did this for the wicked king Ahab, it is an honor shown to all kings, and it is was not a unique show of honor for the righteous Hezekiah., b Rather, /b the honor that was done for Hezekiah was b that they laid a Torah scroll upon his bier and they said: This one, /b i.e., Hezekiah, b fulfilled that which is written in this, /b i.e., the Torah scroll.,The Gemara asks: b But nowadays as well, we do this /b for any great Torah scholar that dies, so what is unique about what was done to honor Hezekiah? The Gemara answers: Nowadays, b we take /b a Torah scroll b out /b but b we do not lay /b it on the bier of the deceased. b And if you wish, say /b instead that nowadays b we also lay /b a Torah scroll on the bier of the deceased; but b we do not say: /b This one b fulfilled /b that which is written in this., b Rabba bar bar Ḥana said: I was /b once b walking together with Rabbi Yoḥa to ask /b him about this b statement. Whenever he would enter a lavatory, /b upon his exit b I would ask him /b to explain b a matter, /b and b he would not answer us until he had washed his hands and donned his phylacteries and made /b the b blessing, and /b only b then would he answer us. /b With regard to the honor given to King Hezekiah, he said: Nowadays, b we even say: /b This one b fulfilled /b that which is written in this, but b we do not say: He taught /b that which is written in this, which was a unique honor performed at the burial of the righteous King Hezekiah.,The Gemara asks: b But didn’t the Master say: Torah study is great because /b the b study /b of Torah b leads to /b one’s b performance /b of the mitzvot? This indicates that the performance of mitzvot is considered of greater value than Torah study. If so, once Hezekiah had been praised with the fact that he fulfilled the mitzvot of the Torah, why mention that he studied it? The Gemara explains: This is b not difficult: This /b statement of the Master is b about studying /b the Torah for one’s own knowledge, and b that /b unique praise given to King Hezekiah was b about teaching /b the Torah to others.,§ A verse that was cited at the beginning of the this chapter (2b) as part of a halakhic exposition is now explained homiletically: b Rabbi Yoḥa says in the name of Rabbi Shimon ben Yoḥai: What /b is the meaning of that b which is written: “Happy are you that sow beside all waters, that send forth the feet of the ox and the donkey” /b (Isaiah 32:20)? It teaches that b whoever engages in /b the study of b Torah and in /b the performance of b acts of kindness merits /b reward equal to b the portion of two tribes, /b Joseph and Issachar.,The Gemara explains how this is derived from the verse: b As it is stated: “Happy are you that sow.” And /b the reference to b sowing /b refers b only /b to acts of b charity, as it is stated: “Sow for yourselves for charity, reap according to kindness” /b (Hosea 10:12). b And /b the reference to b water /b refers b only /b to the study of b Torah, as it is stated /b with regard to Torah study: b “Ho, all who are thirsty, go to water” /b (Isaiah 55:1)., b And /b the fact that b he merits /b reward equal to b the portion of two tribes /b is derived as follows: The reference to the ox in the verse is an allusion to Joseph, who is described as an ox (Deuteronomy 33:17), and one’s reward is that b he merits to /b receive b a canopy /b of honor, b as /b did b Joseph, as it is written: “Joseph is a fruitful vine, /b a fruitful vine by a fountain; b its branches run over the wall.” /b The branches over the wall in this verse allude to the canopy. b And /b the reference to the donkey is an allusion to the fact that b he merits /b to receive b the portion of Issachar, /b who is described as a donkey, b as it is stated: “Issachar is a large-boned donkey” /b (Genesis 49:14)., b There are /b some b who say /b that the comparison should be understood in a different manner. b His enemies will fall before him /b just b like /b in the blessing given by Moses to the tribe of b Joseph, as it is written /b in the blessing bestowed by Moses to the tribe of Joseph: “His horns are the horns of the wild-ox; b with them he shall gore the nations, even to the ends of the earth” /b (Deuteronomy 33:17). b And he merits the understanding of Issachar, as it is written: “And of the children of Issachar, men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do” /b (I Chronicles 12:33).,, strong MISHNA: /strong The mishna in the previous chapter (15b) teaches that the owner of an animal is always forewarned with regard to the category of Trampling. The mishna elaborates: For b what /b damage caused with b the hoof /b is the animal deemed b forewarned? /b It is deemed forewarned with regard b to /b trampling objects and b breaking /b them b in the course of its walking. An animal is /b deemed b forewarned with regard to walking in its /b typical b manner and, /b by doing so, b breaking /b objects as it proceeds.,By contrast, if the animal b was kicking /b while it was walking, b or /b it transpired b that pebbles were /b inadvertently b propelled from under its feet and /b those pebbles b broke vessels, /b cases of that kind do not fit precisely into the primary category of Trampling. In both of these cases the owner of the animal b pays half /b the cost of b the damage. /b If an animal b trod upon a vessel and broke it and /b then a shard of that vessel b fell upon /b a second b vessel and broke it, /b the owner b pays /b the b full /b cost of the b damage for the first /b vessel, as its action is classified under the primary category of Trampling, b and he pays half /b the cost of b the damage for the latter /b vessel, as the damage caused by the shard is tantamount to damage caused by pebbles inadvertently propelled by the foot of an animal., b Chickens are /b deemed b forewarned /b with regard b to walking in their /b typical b manner and breaking /b objects, and therefore, the owner of a chicken pays the full restitution for the damage done to any objects broken by his chicken. If there b was a string [ i delil /i ] tied to /b a chicken’s b leg /b as an indication of ownership and it wrapped around a vessel and broke it, b or /b if the chicken b was hopping /b in an atypical manner b and breaking vessels, /b its owner b pays half /b the cost of b the damage. /b

10b. Similarly, b Rabbi Ḥa said: Even if the master of dreams, /b in a true dream, an angel ( i Ma’ayan HaBerakhot /i ) b tells a person that tomorrow he will die, he should not prevent himself from /b praying for b mercy, as it is stated: “For in the multitude of dreams and vanities there are many words; but fear God” /b (Ecclesiastes 5:6). Although the dream may seem real to him, that is not necessarily the case, and one must place his trust in God.,Having heard Isaiah’s harsh prophecy, b immediately “Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed to the Lord” /b (Isaiah 38:2).,The Gemara asks: b What is /b meant by the word b “wall [ i kir /i ]” /b in this context? Why did Hezekiah turn his face to a wall? b Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish said: /b This symbolically alludes to the fact that Hezekiah prayed to God b from the chambers [ i kirot /i ] of his heart, as it is stated /b elsewhere: b “My anguish, my anguish, I am in pain. The chambers of my heart. /b My heart moans within me” (Jeremiah 4:19)., b Rabbi Levi said: /b Hezekiah intended to evoke b matters /b relating b to a wall, /b and b he said before /b God: b Master of the Universe, and if the woman from Shunem, who made only a single small wall /b on the roof for the prophet Elisha, and b you revived her son, all the more so /b should you bring life to the descendant of b my father’s father, /b King Solomon, b who covered the entire /b Temple b Sanctuary with silver and gold. /b In his prayer, Hezekiah said: “Please, Lord, b please remember that I walked before You in truth, and with a complete heart, and what was good in Your eyes I did. /b And Hezekiah wept sore” (Isaiah 38:3).,The Gemara asks: To b what /b specific action was he referring when he said: b “And what was good in your sight I did”? /b Various opinions are offered: Mentioning Hezekiah’s merits, b Rav Yehuda said in the name of Rav that he juxtaposed redemption and prayer /b at sunrise instead of sleeping late, as was the custom of most kings ( i Iyyun Ya’akov /i ). b Rabbi Levi said: He suppressed the Book of Remedies /b upon which everyone relied., b The Sages taught: King Hezekiah performed six /b innovative b actions. With regard to three /b the Sages b agreed with him, and with regard to three they did not agree with him. /b , b With regard to three /b actions the Sages b agreed with him: /b br b He suppressed the Book of Remedies, and they agreed with him. /b br b He ground the copper snake /b through which miracles were performed for Israel (Numbers 21:9), destroying it because it had been used in idol worship (II Kings 18:4), b and they agreed with him. /b br b He dragged the bones of his /b evil b father, /b King Ahaz, b on a bed of ropes; /b meaning he did not accord his father a funeral fit for a king (II Chronicles 28:27), b and they agreed with him. /b ,Yet, b with regard to three /b other innovations, the Sages of his generation b did not agree with him: /b br b He stopped up the waters of the Gihon, /b the Pool of Siloam, diverting its water into the city by means of a tunnel (II Chronicles 32:30), b and they did not agree with him. /b br b He cut off the doors of the Sanctuary and sent them to the king of Assyria /b (II Kings 18:16), b and they did not agree with him. /b br b He intercalated Nisan in Nisan, /b creating a leap year by adding an extra month during the month of Nisan. That intercalation must be performed before the end of Adar (II Chronicles 30:2).,With regard to his intercalation of Nisan, the Gemara asks: b Did Hezekiah not /b accept the i halakha /i : b “This month will be for you the first of the months; /b it shall be the first for you of the months of the year” (Exodus 12:2)? By inference, b this /b first month b is Nisan, and no other /b month b is Nisan. /b How could Hezekiah add an additional Nisan in violation of Torah law?,The Gemara answers that the scenario was different. b Rather, Hezekiah erred with regard to /b the halakhic opinion ascribed in later generations to b Shmuel, /b as b Shmuel said: One may not intercalate the year on the thirtieth day of Adar, since it is fit to establish it /b as the New Moon of b Nisan. /b On the thirtieth day of each month, those who witnessed the new moon would come and testify before the court, which, based on their testimony, would declare that day the first day of the next month. Therefore, one may not declare a leap year on the thirtieth day of Adar, as it could potentially become the first of Nisan. Therefore, the Sages of Hezekiah’s generation did not agree with his decision to intercalate the year on the thirtieth of Adar. Hezekiah b held /b that b we do not say: Since /b that day b is fit to establish it /b as the New Moon is reason enough to refrain from intercalation of the year.,Stemming from the analysis of Hezekiah’s prayer, b Rabbi Yoḥa said in the name of Rabbi Yosei ben Zimra: Anyone who bases /b his prayer or request b upon his own merit, /b when God answers his prayer, b it is based upon the merit of others. And anyone who /b modestly b bases /b his prayer or request b upon the merit of others, /b when God answers his prayer, b it is based upon his own merit. /b ,The Gemara cites proof from Moses. When he prayed to God for forgiveness after the incident of the Golden Calf, b he based /b his request b upon the merit of others, as it is stated: “Remember Abraham, Isaac and Israel your servants, /b to whom You swore upon Yourself, and told them: I will increase your descendants like the stars of the heavens, and all of this land of which I have spoken, I will give to your descendants and they will inherit it forever” (Exodus 32:13). Yet when this story is related, God’s forgiveness of Israel b is based upon Moses’ own merit, as it is stated: “And He said He would destroy them, had Moses, His chosen, not stood before Him in the breach to turn back His destructive fury, lest He should destroy them” /b (Psalms 106:23)., b Hezekiah, /b however, b based /b his request b upon his own merit, as it is written: “Please, remember that I walked before You” /b (Isaiah 38:3). When God answered his prayers, b it was based upon the merit of others /b with no mention made of Hezekiah’s own merit, b as it is stated: “And I will protect this city to save it, for My sake and for the sake of David, My servant” /b (II Kings 19:34). b And that is what Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi /b said. b As Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said: What is /b the meaning of b that which is written: “Behold, for my peace I had great bitterness; /b but You have, in love to my soul, delivered it from the pit of corruption; for You have thrown all my sins behind Your back” (Isaiah 38:17)? This verse teaches that b even when the Holy One, Blessed be He, sent him peace /b and told him that he would recover from his illness, b it was bitter for him, /b because God did not take his merit into consideration.,Having mentioned the chamber on the roof built for Elisha by the woman from Shunem, the Gemara now describes the entire event. The woman from Shunem suggested to her husband: b “Let us make, I pray thee, a small chamber on the roof, /b and let us place a bed, table, stool and candlestick for him there, and it will be, when he comes to us, that he will turn in there” (II Kings 4:10)., b Rav and Shmuel /b argued over the meaning of small chamber. b One /b of them b said: They had an uncovered second story /b on their roof, b over which they built a ceiling; /b and b one /b of them b said: There was an enclosed veranda [ i akhsadra /i ] and they divided it in half. /b ,The Gemara comments: b Granted, according to the one who said that it was an enclosed veranda /b which they divided in two, it makes sense b that /b the term b wall [ i kir /i ] was written. However, according to the one who said that they had an /b open b second story, what is /b the meaning of b wall? /b ,The Gemara responds: The one who said that they had an uncovered second story interprets i kir /i not as wall but as ceiling meaning that they b built a ceiling /b [ i kirui /i ] over it.,On the other hand, b granted, according to the one who said that they had an /b uncovered b second story, /b it makes sense b that /b the term b second story /b [ b i aliyat /i ] was written. But according to the one who said /b that it was b an enclosed veranda, what is /b the meaning of the term b second story? /b ,The Gemara responds: The one who said that it was an enclosed veranda interprets i aliyat /i not as second story, but b as the most outstanding [ i me’ula /i ] of the rooms. /b ,Incidental to this discussion, the Gemara analyzes the statement made by the woman from Shunem to her husband with regard to the provisions that they would place in the room for Elisha: b “And let us place a bed, table, stool and candlestick for him there.” /b , b Abaye, and some say Rabbi Yitzḥak, said: /b A great man b who seeks to enjoy /b the contributions of those who seek to honor him b may enjoy /b those gifts, b as Elisha /b enjoyed gifts given him by the woman from Shunem, among others. b And one who does not seek to enjoy /b these gifts b should not enjoy them, as /b was the practice of the prophet b Samuel from Rama, /b who would not accept gifts from anyone at all. From where do we know that this was Samuel’s custom? b As it is stated: “And he returned to Rama, for there was his house, /b and there he judged Israel, and he built an altar to the Lord” (I Samuel 7:17). b And /b similarly, b Rabbi Yoḥa said: Every place where /b Samuel b went, his house was with him, /b so he would have everything that he needed and not be forced to benefit from public contributions. One may opt to conduct himself in accordance with either of these paths.,Regarding the woman from Shunem: b “And she said to her husband: Behold now, I perceive that he is a holy man of God /b who passes by us continually” (II Kings 4:9). b Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Ḥanina, said: From here, /b where the woman from Shunem perceived the prophet’s greatness before her husband did, derive b that a woman recognizes /b the character of her b guests more than a man /b does.,The Gemara notes that the woman from Shunem said that b “he is holy.” /b The Gemara asks: b From where did she know /b that he was holy? b Rav and Shmuel /b disagreed over this. b One /b of them b said: She never saw a fly pass over his table; and the other said: She spread a /b white b linen sheet on his bed, /b and despite that even the smallest stain is visible on white linen, and nocturnal seminal emissions are not uncommon, b she never saw /b the residue of b a seminal emission on it. /b ,With regard to the verse: b “He is holy,” Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Ḥanina, said: /b The woman from Shunem intimated that: b He is holy, /b but b his attendant, /b Geihazi, b is not holy, /b as she saw no indication of holiness in him ( i Iyyun Ya’akov /i ). Here too, she correctly perceived the character of her guest, b as it is /b later b stated: “And Geihazi approached her to push her away [ i lehodfa /i ]” /b (II Kings 4:27). And b Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Ḥanina, said: He grabbed her by the majesty of her beauty [ i hod yofya /i ], /b meaning that when he pushed her he grabbed her breasts in a licentious manner.,With regard to the phrasing of the verse: “He is a holy man of God b who passes by us continually,” Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Ḥanina, said in the name of Rabbi Eliezer ben Ya’akov: /b From this verse we derive that b one who hosts a Torah scholar in his home and lets him enjoy his possessions, the verse ascribes to him /b credit b as if he is sacrificing the daily [ i tamid /i ] offering, /b as the verse states: “Passes by us continually [ i tamid /i ].”,With regard to the i halakhot /i of prayer, b Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Ḥanina, said in the name of Rabbi Eliezer ben Ya’akov: A person should not stand in a high place and pray; rather, /b he should stand b in a low place and pray, as it is stated: “I called to You, Lord, from the depths” /b (Psalms 130:1)., b That was also taught /b in a i baraita /i : b One should neither stand upon a chair nor upon a stool, nor in a high place and pray. Rather, /b one should stand b in a low place and pray, for there is no haughtiness before God. As it is stated: “I called to You, Lord, from the depths” and it is written: “A prayer for the impoverished, when he is faint /b and pours out his complaint before God” (Psalms 102:1). It is appropriate to feel impoverished when praying and make one’s requests humbly., b And Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Ḥanina, said in the name of Rabbi Eliezer ben Ya’akov: When praying, one should align his feet /b next to each other, as a single foot, in order to model oneself after the angels, with regard to whom b it is stated: “And their feet were a straight foot” /b (Ezekiel 1:7)., b Rabbi Yitzḥak said /b that b Rabbi Yoḥa said and Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Ḥanina, said in the name of Rabbi Eliezer ben Ya’akov: What is /b the meaning of b that which is written: “You shall not eat with the blood” /b (Leviticus 19:26)? b You may not eat before you pray for your blood. /b One may not eat before he prays., b Others say /b that b Rabbi Yitzḥak said /b that b Rabbi Yoḥa said /b that b Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Ḥanina, said in the name of Rabbi Eliezer ben Ya’akov: One who eats and drinks and later prays, about him the verse states /b the rebuke of the prophet in the name of God: b “And Me you have cast behind your back” /b (I Kings 14:9). One who sees to his own bodily needs by eating and drinking before prayer casts God aside, according his arrogance and ego priority over God (Maharsha). Indeed, b do not read your back [ i gavekha /i ]; rather, your pride [ i ge’ekha /i ]. The Holy One, Blessed be He, said: After this /b one b has become arrogant /b and engaged in satisfying his own needs, b he /b only then b accepted upon himself the kingdom of Heaven. /b ,We learned in the mishna that b Rabbi Yehoshua says: /b One may recite the morning i Shema /i b until three hours /b of the day. b Rav Yehuda said /b that b Shmuel said: The i halakha /i is in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Yehoshua. /b ,We also learned in the mishna that b one who recites /b i Shema /i b from that time onward loses nothing; /b although he does not fulfill the mitzva of reciting of i Shema /i at its appointed time, b he is /b nevertheless considered like one who reads the Torah, and is rewarded accordingly.,With regard to this ruling, b Rav Ḥisda said /b that b Mar Ukva said: /b This only applies b provided one does not recite: Who forms light [ i yotzer or /i ], /b or the rest of the blessings recited along with i Shema /i , as they pertain only to the fulfillment of the mitzva of reciting of the morning i Shema /i ; after the third hour, they are inappropriate.,The Gemara b raises an objection to /b Rav Ḥisda’s statement from a i baraita /i : b One who recites /b i Shema /i b from that time onward loses nothing, and is considered like one who reads Torah, but he recites two blessings beforehand and one /b blessing b thereafter. /b This directly contradicts Rav Ḥisda’s statement, and the Gemara notes: Indeed, b the refutation /b of the statement b of Rav Ḥisda is a /b conclusive b refutation, /b and Rav Ḥisda’s opinion is rejected in favor of that of the i baraita /i ., b Some say that Rav Ḥisda said /b that b Mar Ukva said /b the opposite: b What is /b the meaning of: b Loses nothing, /b in the mishna? This means that one who recites i Shema /i after the third hour b does not lose /b the opportunity to recite b the blessings /b and is permitted to recite them although the time for the recitation of i Shema /i has passed. b That was also taught /b in a i baraita /i : b One who recites /b i Shema /i b after this time loses nothing, and is considered like one who reads the Torah, but he recites two blessings beforehand and one thereafter. /b ,With regard to our mishna, b Rabbi Mani said: Greater is one who recites i Shema /i at its /b appropriate b time than one who engages in Torah /b study. A proof is cited based on b what was taught /b in the mishna: b One who recites /b i Shema /i b after this time loses nothing and is /b considered b like one who reads the Torah. /b This is proven b by inference, /b since b one who recites /b i Shema /i b at its /b appointed b time is greater /b than one who does not, and one who does not is equal to one who reads the Torah, when one recites i Shema /i at its appointed time he fulfills two mitzvot, that of Torah study and that of the recitation of i Shema /i ., strong MISHNA: /strong Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel disputed the proper way to recite i Shema /i . b Beit Shammai say: /b One should recite i Shema /i in the manner indicated in the text of i Shema /i itself. Therefore, b in the evening every person must recline /b on his side and recite i Shema /i , in fulfillment of the verse: “When you lie down,” b and in the morning he must stand /b and recite i Shema /i , in fulfillment of the verse: When you rise, b as it is stated: “When you lie down, and when you rise.” /b , b And Beit Hillel say: Every person recites /b i Shema /i b as he is, /b and he may do so in whatever position is most comfortable for him, both day and night, b as it is stated: “And when you walk along the way,” /b when one is neither standing nor reclining ( i Me’iri /i )., b If so, /b according to Beit Hillel, b why was it stated: “When you lie down, and when you rise”? /b This is merely to denote time; b at the time when people lie down and the time when people rise. /b ,With regard to this i halakha /i , b Rabbi Tarfon said: /b Once, b I was coming on the road /b when I stopped and b reclined to recite /b i Shema /i b in accordance with the statement of Beit Shammai. /b Although Rabbi Tarfon was a disciple of Beit Hillel, he thought that fulfilling the mitzva in accordance with the opinion of Beit Shammai would be a more meticulous fulfillment of the mitzva, acceptable to all opinions. Yet in so doing, b I endangered myself due to the highwaymen [ i listim /i ] /b who accost travelers.,The Sages b said to him: You deserved /b to be in a position where you were b liable /b to pay b with your life, as you transgressed the statement of Beit Hillel. /b This statement will be explained in the Gemara.

25a. b and /b that same day we saw the new moon b in the evening in the west. Rabbi Yoḥa ben Nuri said: They are false witnesses, /b as it is impossible to see the new moon so soon after the last sighting of the waning moon. However, b when they arrived in Yavne, Rabban Gamliel accepted them /b as witnesses without concern., b And /b there was b another /b incident in which b two /b witnesses b came and said: We saw /b the new moon b at its /b anticipated b time, /b i.e., on the night of the thirtieth day of the previous month; however, b on the /b following b night, /b i.e., the start of the thirty-first, which is often the determit of b a full, /b thirty-day month, b it was not seen. And /b nevertheless b Rabban Gamliel accepted their /b testimony and established the New Moon on the thirtieth day., b Rabbi Dosa ben Horkinas /b disagreed and b said: They are false witnesses; how can /b witnesses b testify that a woman gave birth and the next day her belly is between her teeth, /b i.e., she is obviously still pregt? If the new moon was already visible at its anticipated time, how could it not be seen a day later? b Rabbi Yehoshua said to him: I see /b the logic of b your statement; /b the New Moon must be established a day later. Upon hearing that Rabbi Yehoshua had challenged his ruling, b Rabban Gamliel sent /b a message b to him: I decree against you that you /b must b appear before me with your staff and with your money on /b the day on which b Yom Kippur occurs according to your calculation; /b according to my calculation, that day is the eleventh of Tishrei, the day after Yom Kippur., b Rabbi Akiva went and found /b Rabbi Yehoshua b distressed /b that the head of the Great Sanhedrin was forcing him to desecrate the day that he maintained was Yom Kippur. In an attempt to console him, Rabbi Akiva b said to /b Rabbi Yehoshua: b I can learn /b from a verse b that everything that Rabban Gamliel did /b in sanctifying the month b is done, /b i.e., it is valid. b As it is stated: “These are the appointed seasons of the Lord, sacred convocations, which you shall proclaim /b in their season” (Leviticus 23:4). This verse indicates that b whether /b you have proclaimed them b at their /b proper b time /b or b whether /b you have declared them b not at their /b proper b time, I have only these Festivals /b as established by the representatives of the Jewish people.,Rabbi Yehoshua then b came to Rabbi Dosa ben Horkinas, /b who b said to him: If we come to debate /b and question the rulings of b the court of Rabban Gamliel, we must debate /b and question the rulings of b every court that has stood from the days of Moses until now. As it is stated: “Then Moses went up, and Aaron, Nadav and Avihu, and seventy of the Elders of Israel” /b (Exodus 24:9). b But why were the names of these /b seventy b Elders not specified? Rather, /b this comes b to teach that every /b set of b three /b judges b that stands /b as b a court over the Jewish people /b has the same status b as the court of Moses. /b Since it is not revealed who sat on that court, apparently it is enough that they were official judges in a Jewish court.,When Rabbi Yehoshua heard that even Rabbi Dosa ben Horkinas maintained that they must submit to Rabban Gamliel’s decision, b he took his staff and his money in his hand, and went to Yavne to Rabban Gamliel on the day /b on b which Yom Kippur occurred according to his /b own b calculation. /b Upon seeing him, b Rabban Gamliel stood up and kissed him on his head. He said to him: Come in peace, my teacher and my student. /b You are b my teacher in wisdom, /b as Rabbi Yehoshua was wiser than anyone else in his generation, b and /b you are b my student, as you accepted my statement, /b despite your disagreement., strong GEMARA: /strong b It is taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabban Gamliel said to the Sages, /b in explanation of his opinion that it is possible for the new moon to be visible so soon after the last sighting of the waning moon: b This is /b the tradition that b I received from the house of my father’s father: Sometimes /b the moon b comes by a long /b path b and sometimes it comes by a short /b one., b Rabbi Yoḥa said: What is the reason /b for the opinion b of the house of Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi, i.e., the house of the heads of the Great Sanhedrin, the source of Rabban Gamliel’s ruling? b As it is written: “Who appointed the moon for seasons; the sun knows its going down” /b (Psalms 104:19). This verse indicates that b it is /b only b the sun /b that b knows its going down, /b i.e., its seasons and the times that it shines are the same every year. In contrast, b the moon does not know its going down, /b as its course is not identical every month.,§ The Gemara relates that b Rabbi Ḥiyya /b once b saw /b the waning b moon standing /b in the sky b on the morning /b of the b twenty-ninth /b of the month. b He took a clump /b of earth and b threw /b it b at /b the moon, b saying: This evening we need to sanctify you, /b i.e., the new moon must be visible tonight so that we may declare the thirtieth of the month as the New Moon, b and you are /b still b standing here? Go /b and b cover yourself /b for now, so that the new moon will be seen only after nightfall. The Gemara further relates that b Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi once b said to Rabbi Ḥiyya: Go to /b a place called b Ein Tav and sanctify the /b New b Moon /b there, b and send me a sign /b that you have sanctified it. The sign is: b David, king of Israel, lives and endures. /b , b The Sages taught /b in a i baraita /i : b Once the sky was covered with clouds, and the form of the moon was visible on the twenty-ninth of the month. The people thought to say /b that the day was b the New Moon, and the court sought to sanctify it. /b However, b Rabban Gamliel said to them: This is /b the tradition that b I received from the house of my father’s father: /b The monthly cycle of the b renewal of the moon /b takes b no less than twenty-nine and a half days, plus two-thirds of an hour, plus seventy-three /b of the 1,080 b subsections /b of an hour.,The i baraita /i continues: b And on that day the mother of /b the Sage b ben Zaza died, and Rabban Gamliel delivered a great eulogy /b on b her /b behalf. He did this b not because she was worthy of this /b honor; b rather, /b he eulogized her b so that the people would know that the court had not sanctified the month, /b as eulogies are prohibited on the New Moon.,§ The mishna taught that b Rabbi Akiva went and found him distressed /b that the head of the Great Sanhedrin was forcing him to desecrate the day that he maintained was Yom Kippur. b A dilemma was raised before /b the Sages: b Who was distressed? /b Was b Rabbi Akiva distressed or /b was b Rabbi Yehoshua distressed? /b The Gemara answers: b Come /b and b hear, as it is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b Rabbi Akiva went and found Rabbi Yehoshua in a state of distress, /b and b he said to him: My teacher, for what /b reason b are you distressed? /b Rabbi Yehoshua b said to him: Rabbi Akiva, it is fitting for /b one b to fall /b sick b in bed for twelve months, rather than to have this decree issued against him /b that he should have to desecrate Yom Kippur.,Rabbi Akiva b said to him: My teacher, allow me to say before you one matter that you /b yourself once b taught me. He said to him: Speak. He said to him: It states /b with respect to the Festivals: “The appointed seasons of the Lord, which you shall proclaim b them [ i otam /i ] /b to be sacred convocations (Leviticus 23:2). And it is written: “These are the appointed seasons of the Lord, sacred convocations; you shall proclaim b them [ i otam /i ] /b in their season” (Leviticus 23:4). And it is written: “These are the appointed seasons of the Lord; you shall proclaim b them [ i otam /i ] /b to be sacred convocations” (Leviticus 23:37). b Three times /b the verses use the term: Them [ i otam /i ], which can also be read as you [ i atem /i ], in plural.,This comes to teach: b You /b [ b i atem /i /b ] are authorized to determine the date of the new month, b even /b if you b unwittingly /b establish the New Moon on the wrong day; b you, even /b if you do so b intentionally; you, even /b if you are b misled /b by false witnesses. In all cases, once the court establishes the day as the New Moon, it is sanctified, and God grants His consent. After hearing this, Rabbi Yehoshua b said to him in these words: Akiva, you have consoled me; you have consoled me. /b ,§ The mishna taught that Rabbi Yehoshua next b came to Rabbi Dosa ben Horkinas, /b who proved to him that the court of Rabban Gamliel has the same legal status as the court of Moses. b The Sages taught /b in a i baraita /i : b Why were the names of these /b seventy b Elders /b who sat together with Moses on his court b not specified? /b The reason is so b that a person not say: /b Is b so-and-so /b the judge in my time, b like Moses and Aaron? /b Is b so-and-so like Nadav and Avihu? /b Is b so-and-so like Eldad and Medad? /b Therefore, the names of the other elders were not specified, so that there is no way of knowing the qualifications of the elders in the time of Moses to compare them to later judges., b And /b similarly b it says: “And Samuel said to the people: It is the Lord Who made Moses and Aaron” /b (I Samuel 12:6). b And it says /b further: b “And the Lord sent Jerubaal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel” /b (I Samuel 12:11). The Gemara explains: b Jerubaal, this is Gideon. And why is he called Jerubaal? /b The reason is b that he waged a quarrel against Baal. Bedan, this is Samson. And why is he called Bedan?

25a. strong GEMARA: /strong The mishna teaches that only the relatives of the deceased rend their clothes. The Gemara asks: b And /b is this the case b even /b if the deceased was a Torah b Sage? But isn’t it taught /b otherwise in a i baraita /i : When a Torah b scholar dies, everyone is his relative. /b ,The Gemara clarifies: b Does it enter your mind /b to say that b everyone is his relative? Rather, /b this i baraita /i should be understood as follows: b Everyone is /b considered to be b like his relative /b in the sense that b everyone rends his /b garment in anguish b over him, and everyone bares /b his shoulder b over him /b in mourning, b and everyone eats the mourner’s meal over him in the public square /b as mourners do. The death of a Torah scholar is a personal loss for every Jew. So why is the mishna limited to only relatives? The Gemara answers: b No, /b it is b necessary /b for the mishna to teach this i halakha /i in a case b where /b the deceased b is not a /b Torah b scholar. /b ,The Gemara asks: b And if /b the deceased b was an upright person /b who feared Heaven and performed good deeds, then aren’t all those present at his death b obligated to rend /b their garments over his death? b As it is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b For what /b reason b do a person’s sons and daughters die when they are young? /b They die b so that he will cry and mourn /b over the death of b an upright person. /b ,The Gemara questions the formulation: They die so that b he will cry and mourn? Is security, /b i.e., his children, b taken from him /b in advance to ensure that in the future he will mourn over the death of an upright person? b Rather /b the i baraita /i means as follows: His children died b because he did not cry or mourn over an upright person /b who died. b As /b with regard to b anyone who cries and mourns over an upright person /b who died, b they forgive him /b for b all his transgressions because of the honor he accorded /b to the deceased. If this is the case, one also rends his clothes over an upright person. The Gemara answers: Rather, the mishna is referring only to one b who /b was b not an upright person. /b ,The Gemara challenges: But b if one was standing there at the time of the soul’s departure, /b i.e., at the time of death, he b is /b also b obligated /b to rend his clothes. b As it is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar says: One who stands over the deceased at the time of the soul’s departure is obligated to rend /b his clothes. b To what may this be likened? To a Torah scroll that is burned, /b for which anyone present b is obligated to rend /b his clothes.,The Gemara answers: The mishna must be referring to a person b who was not standing there at the time of the soul’s departure /b but who heard that someone who is not a close relative died, and the deceased was neither a Torah scholar nor an upright person.,§ The Gemara relates that b when Rav Safra passed away the /b other b Sages did not rend /b their garments b over him. They said: We did not learn from him, /b as he did not disseminate his Torah knowledge to the public. b Abaye /b berated them and b said to them: Is it taught /b in the i baraita /i : If one’s b teacher died? It is taught: /b If a Torah b scholar died, /b and Rav Safra was certainly a Torah scholar. b And furthermore, every day his teachings are in our mouths in the study hall, /b so that even if we did not learn directly from him, we should still be considered his students.,The other Sages b thought that what was /b done b was /b done, and it was now too late for them to rend their garments. b Abaye said to them: We learned: /b With regard to a Torah b scholar, as long as they are engaged in eulogizing /b him, then people b are obligated to rend /b their garments, even after the time of his death. b They /b then b thought to rend /b their garments b immediately. Abaye said to them: It is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b A /b Torah b scholar’s honor is at /b the time of b his eulogy, /b and so you should wait until the time of the eulogy before rending your garments.,§ The Gemara relates another incident: b When Rav Huna died they thought to place a Torah scroll on his bier, /b as was commonly done after the death of a Torah scholar, as if to say that the deceased fulfilled everything written in the scroll. b Rav Ḥisda said to them: /b This is b a practice that he did not hold with during his lifetime; now should we stand up and do /b it b for him /b when he is dead? b As Rav Taḥlifa said: I /b myself b saw Rav Huna, who wished to sit on his bed, and there was a Torah scroll placed on it. And he turned a jug over and placed the Torah scroll on it /b so that he could then sit on the bed. b Apparently he holds /b that b it is prohibited to sit on a bed upon which a Torah scroll lies. /b Therefore, it would be inappropriate to lay a Torah scroll next to his body after he died.,When they tried to remove his corpse from his house for the burial, b the bier would not /b fit b through the /b narrow b door. They /b then b thought to lower /b the bier b from the roof. Rav Ḥisda said to them: This I learned from him, /b Rav Huna himself: b A scholar’s honor /b is for him to be taken out b through the /b main b opening, /b and not in any other manner., b They /b then b thought to move him from /b his b bier to /b a narrower b bier /b so that it would fit through the door. But b Rav Ḥisda said to them: I learned from him, /b Rav Huna himself, b as follows: A scholar’s honor is /b for him to be taken out b on the first bier. As Rav Yehuda said /b that b Rav said: From where /b is it derived that b a scholar’s honor is /b for him to be taken out b on the first bier? As it is stated: “And they set the Ark of God upon a new cart” /b (II Samuel 6:3). When taking the Ark to Jerusalem, King David had it placed back on the cart upon which it had been returned by the Philistines, and a Torah scholar is considered to be similar to the Ark of the Covet. When they saw that there was nothing else that they could do, b they broke the doorway and took him out /b through it., b Rabbi Abba opened /b his eulogy for b him: Our Rabbi was worthy that the Divine Presence should rest upon him, except /b for the fact b that Babylonia caused it /b not to rest. In other words, it was only because he lived in Babylonia and not in Eretz Yisrael that the Divine Presence did not rest upon him., b Rav Naḥman bar Ḥisda raised an objection /b against this, b and some say /b that it was b Rav Ḥa bar Ḥisda: /b Is it not stated: b “The word of the Lord came [ i hayo haya /i ] to Ezekiel the priest, son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans” /b (Ezekiel 1:3), thereby implying that a prophet can prophesy outside of Eretz Yisrael?, b His father tapped him with his sandal /b on his foot, thereby hinting to him that he should be quiet. b He said to him: Have I not told you not to trouble everyone /b with questions in the middle of a eulogy? The Gemara answers the question: b What /b is the meaning of the doubling of the word b “came [ i hayo haya /i ]”? /b It implies b that it had already come /b before, i.e., that Ezekiel had already begun to prophesy in Eretz Yisrael, and his prophecy in Babylonia was merely a continuation of that prophecy.,§ The Gemara relates that b when they took /b Rav Huna b there, /b to Eretz Yisrael, for burial b they said to Rabbi Ami and Rabbi Asi: Rav Huna has come, /b and they misunderstood and thought that he was still alive. b They said: When we were there, /b in Babylonia, we b did not have strength to lift our heads before him. Now /b that b we have come here, has he come after us? /b , b They said to them: His coffin has come. Rabbi Ami and Rabbi Asi went out /b to meet his funeral procession. b Rabbi Ila and Rabbi Ḥanina did not go out. Some say /b that b Rabbi Ila went out, /b but b Rabbi Ḥanina did not go out. /b ,The Gemara asks: Those who b went out, what is /b the b reason /b that they went? b As it is taught /b in a i baraita /i : When b a coffin is passing from place to place, /b the people b stand in a line /b to show respect b for /b the deceased, b and they recite the mourners’ blessing and the consolation of the mourners over it. /b Those b who did not go out, what is the reason /b that they did not? b As it is taught /b in another i baraita /i : When a b coffin is passing from place to place, they do not stand in a line /b to show respect b for /b the deceased, b and they do not recite the mourners’ blessing or /b the b consolation of the mourners for him. /b ,The Gemara asks: If so, b these /b two tannaitic statements b contradict each other. /b The Gemara answers: b It is not difficult: Here, /b the i baraita /i is referring to a case b where the skeleton /b of the deceased b is /b still b intact, /b and the mourning practices must be observed. b And there /b the i baraita /i is referring to a case b where the skeleton /b of the deceased b is no longer intact, /b and it is not necessary to observe the customs of mourning. b And Rav Huna’s skeleton was /b still b intact. /b The reason that the b one /b Sage b did not go out /b was that b they did not confirm for him /b that the skeleton was still intact.,The Sages of Eretz Yisrael b said: Where shall we bury him? /b They concluded: b Rav Huna disseminated Torah to /b the people of b Israel, and /b similarly b Rabbi Ḥiyya disseminated Torah to /b the people of b Israel; /b therefore, it is appropriate to bury Rav Huna next to Rabbi Ḥiyya.,They asked: b Who will take him in /b to Rabbi Ḥiyya’s burial cave, as few are fit to enter it? b Rav Ḥagga said to them: I will take him into /b the cave, b for I presented my studies /b before him b when I was /b just b eighteen, never having experienced a seminal emission. And /b so too b I attended to him and knew his /b great b deeds. /b For example, b one day one of the straps of his phylacteries turned around, /b the unpainted side being turned outward, b and he observed forty fasts for this, /b as he had acted negligently, allowing the black side to face inward.,Rav Ḥagga b took him in. /b The body of Rabbi Ḥiyya’s son b Yehuda lay /b buried b to the right of his father, and /b the body of his other son b Ḥizkiyya /b lay b to his left. /b The spirit of b Yehuda said to /b the spirit of b Ḥizkiyya: Rise from your place, as /b it is b not proper conduct /b to remain lying when the body of b Rav Huna is standing here. When /b Ḥizkiyya’s corpse stood b up, a pillar of fire rose with him. /b When b Rabbi Ḥagga saw this, he was frightened /b by what he saw, and so b he stood up /b Rav Huna’s b coffin and went away. /b The Gemara comments: b And he was not punished /b or harmed by this pillar of fire b because he set up Rav Huna’s coffin /b as protection for himself.,§ The Gemara relates another story about the burial of one of the Sages: b When Rav Ḥisda died they thought to place a Torah scroll on his bier. Rabbi Yitzḥak said to them: /b This is b a practice that this Rabbi did not hold with during his lifetime; should we stand up and do /b it b for him /b now that he is dead?, b They /b then b thought not to tack, /b i.e., sew up, b the tears /b that they had made in their clothes. b Rabbi Yitzḥak bar Ami said to them: /b When the deceased is b a Torah Sage, they may tack /b the tears b once they turn their faces from the bier. /b ,The Gemara relates that b when Rabba bar Huna and Rav Hamnuna died, they took them /b both b up there, /b to Eretz Yisrael.

With regard to three /b of them, the Sages of his generation b conceded to him; and with regard to three /b of them, the Sages b did not concede to him. /b Due to King Hezekiah’s father’s wickedness, b he dragged the bones of his father /b Ahaz b on a bier of ropes /b and did not afford him the respect due to a king, b and /b the Sages b conceded to him. He ground the copper snake /b that Moses fashioned in the desert because Israel worshipped it, b and /b the Sages b conceded to him. He suppressed the Book of Cures, and they conceded to him. /b , b And with regard to three /b actions, the Sages b did not concede to him. He cut off the doors of the Sanctuary and sent them to the King of Assyria, and they did not concede to him /b because he thereby demeaned the Temple. b He sealed the waters of the upper Gihon /b stream, diverting its water into the city by means of a tunnel, b and they did not concede to him, /b because he harmed the local populace in the process and should have relied upon God ( i Me’iri /i ). b He intercalated /b the year, delaying the advent of the month b of Nisan during Nisan, and they did not concede to him. /b The Gemara explains that he declared the first of Nisan to be the thirtieth of Adar and only then intercalated the year (see II Chronicles 30:2).,We learned in the mishna: b They /b would b graft palm trees the entire day /b of the fourteenth of Nisan. The Gemara asks: b How did they perform /b this grafting? b Rabbi Yehuda said: They brought fresh myrtle, strong beer /b made b from the /b fruit of the b laurel tree, and barley flour that was cast into a vessel, and forty days has not passed /b since it was ground. b They boiled them /b together b and poured /b the mixture b into the core of the palm tree. /b And for b any /b tree b standing within four cubits of that /b tree, b if they did not perform this /b treatment with it, b it would immediately wither /b because the tree that received the treatment would grow faster at the expense of the surrounding trees. b Rav Aḥa, son /b of b Rava, said: They placed a branch of a male palm tree on the female, /b and by doing so the female tree would yield fruit.,We learned in the mishna that the residents of Jericho would b bundle i Shema /i . /b The Gemara asks: What does it mean that they bundled i Shema /i ? b How did they do /b so? b Rabbi Yehuda said /b that b they recited: “Hear Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord is One /b ” (Deuteronomy 6:4), b and they would not pause /b between words. b Rava said: They /b would b pause /b between words, b but /b instead of reciting this verse in the proper manner: “That which I command you today, shall be on your heart” (Deuteronomy 6:5), pausing after the word today; b they would say: Today shall be on your heart, /b inferring: b Today it will be on your heart, and tomorrow it will not be on your heart. The Sages taught /b in the i Tosefta /i : b How would they bundle i Shema /i ? They recited: “Hear Israel, the Lord is our God the Lord is One,” without pausing; /b this is b the statement of Rabbi Meir. Rabbi Yehuda says: They paused, but they would not recite: Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom for ever and ever. /b ,The Gemara asks: b What is the reason that we recite /b that passage: Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom for ever and ever, even though it does not appear in the Torah? The Gemara answers: We recite it b in accordance with /b that b which Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish interpreted homiletically. /b , b As Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish said /b that it is written: b “And Jacob called his sons and said, Gather around and I will tell you /b what will occur to you in the end of days” (Genesis 49:1). b Jacob wanted to reveal to his sons /b when the complete redemption would arrive at b the end of days /b (see Daniel 12:13), b but the Divine Presence abandoned him, /b rendering him unable to prophesy. b He said: Perhaps /b the Divine Presence has abandoned me because, b Heaven forfend, one of my descendants is unfit, as /b was the case with my grandfather b Abraham, from whom Ishmael emerged, and /b like b my father Isaac, from whom Esau emerged. His sons said to him: Hear Israel, /b our father, b the Lord is our God, the Lord is One. They said: Just as there is only one /b God b in your heart, so too, there is only one in our hearts. At that moment Jacob our father said /b in praise: b Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom for ever and ever, /b as all his children were righteous., b The Rabbis said: What should we do? Shall we recite /b this verse? But b Moses our teacher did not say it /b in the Torah as part of i Shema /i . b Shall we not recite it? /b But b Jacob said it. /b In order to resolve this dilemma b they established that /b this passage b should be recited surreptitiously. Rabbi Yitzḥak said /b that b the school of Rabbi Ami said: /b This is b analogous to the daughter of a king who smelled /b the fragrance of the dried b spices /b stuck to the bottom of b the pot /b and craved to eat them. What can she do? b If she tells /b her servants to give it to her, b she will be disgraced, /b as the dried spices are a contemptible food. However, if b she does not say /b she wants to eat them, b she will /b endure b suffering. Her servants began to bring /b them to her b surreptitiously. /b One should conduct himself in that manner in similar cases of uncertainty., b Rabbi Abbahu said: /b The Sages b instituted that /b the people b should recite it aloud due to the grievance of the heretics. /b It was instituted to prevent the heretics from claiming that the Jews are surreptitiously reciting inappropriate statements. The Gemara adds: b In Neharde’a, where there are no heretics, they recite it surreptitiously even now. /b , b The Sages taught /b a related matter in the i Tosefta /i : b The people of Jericho performed six actions, three /b in keeping b with the will of the Sages and three against the will of the Sages. And these /b are what they did in keeping b with the will of the Sages: They /b would b graft palm trees the entire day /b of the fourteenth of Nisan; b and they /b would b bundle i Shema /i ; and they /b would b harvest /b grain b before the i omer /i /b offering was brought. b And these /b are what they did b against the will of the Sages: They /b would b pile /b the harvest b before the i omer /i ; and they /b would b make breaches in /b the walls of b their gardens and their orchards to feed fallen /b fruit b to the poor during drought years, /b so that the poor could take the fruit that had fallen b on Shabbat and Festivals; and they /b would b permit /b the use of b consecrated branches of carob and of sycamore /b trees. This is b the statement of Rabbi Meir. /b , b Rabbi Yehuda said to him: /b It is inaccurate to formulate it in that manner, as b if they acted /b in keeping b with the will of the Sages, all people would do so, /b not only the residents of Jericho. b Rather, /b formulate it in this manner: Both b these /b three acts b and those /b three b were performed against the will of the Sages.

89a. b that the upper knot /b is mandated b by Torah law, /b then fulfillment of the mitzva b is already compromised /b from the outset when the additional string is tied together with the other threads.,The Gemara challenges: b If so, /b the status of b phylacteries /b is b also /b the same. b If one crafts /b phylacteries of the head with b four compartments, and /b he then b brings another /b compartment b and places /b it b alongside them, these /b compartments with which he fulfills the mitzva b stand alone and that /b additional compartment b stands alone /b and does not compromise the fulfillment of the mitzva. b And if one crafts /b phylacteries of the head with b five compartments, /b the fulfillment of the mitzva b is already compromised /b from the outset. The Gemara answers: b But doesn’t Rabbi Zeira say: /b If there is an obstruction which creates b an outer compartment /b of the phylacteries of the head b that is not exposed to the air, /b the phylacteries of the head are b unfit /b for use in the fulfillment of the mitzva? Therefore, adding a fifth compartment to the four compartments of the phylacteries of the head always compromises the fulfillment of the mitzva., strong MISHNA: /strong b One does not execute /b the rebellious elder, b neither in the court that is in his city, nor in the court that is in Yavne, /b although that was the seat of the Sanhedrin after the destruction of the Second Temple. b Rather, one takes him up to the High Court in Jerusalem. And they guard him /b in incarceration b until the pilgrimage Festival, and /b the court b executes him during the pilgrimage Festival, as it is stated: “And all the nation shall hear, and fear, and no longer sin intentionally” /b (Deuteronomy 17:13); this is b the statement of Rabbi Akiva. Rabbi Yehuda says: One does not delay /b administering b justice /b to b this /b individual. b Rather, /b the court b executes him immediately, and /b the judges b write /b reports b and dispatch agents to all the places, /b informing them: b So-and-so is liable /b to be punished with the b court /b -imposed b death /b penalty for disobeying the court., strong GEMARA: /strong b The Sages taught /b in a i baraita /i ( i Tosefta /i 11:3): b One does not execute /b the rebellious elder, b neither in the court that is in his city, nor in the court that is in Yavne.

And they guard him /b in incarceration b until the pilgrimage Festival, and /b the court b executes him during the pilgrimage Festival, as it is stated: “And all the nation shall hear, and fear” /b (Deuteronomy 17:13); this is b the statement of Rabbi Akiva. /b , b Rabbi Yehuda said to /b Rabbi Akiva: b Is it stated: /b And all the nation b shall see and fear, /b which would indicate that the entire nation must actually witness his execution? b But isn’t it stated only: /b “And all the nation b shall hear and fear,” /b indicating that merely informing the people of the execution is sufficient? b Why delay /b administering b justice /b to b this /b individual? b Rather, /b the court b executes him immediately, and /b the judges b write /b reports b and dispatch agents to all the places /b informing them: b So-and-so was /b sentenced and found b liable /b to be punished with b execution in court. /b , b The Sages taught: /b There are b four /b transgressors condemned to be executed whose verdicts b require a proclamation /b to inform the public: b One who instigates /b others to engage in idol worship, b and the stubborn and rebellious son, and the rebellious elder, and conspiring witnesses. In all of these /b cases, b it is written concerning them: “And all the nation” /b (Deuteronomy 17:13), or: b “And all Israel” /b (Deuteronomy 13:12, 21:21), except b with regard to conspiring witnesses, /b where b it is written: “And those who remain /b shall hear and fear” (Deuteronomy 19:20), b as not everyone is fit for /b providing b testimony. /b Therefore, rather than saying that all of the nation or all of Israel must be informed, only those remaining who are not disqualified from providing testimony are those who must heed the verse: “Hear and fear and shall henceforth commit no more such evil in the midst of you” (Deuteronomy 19:20)., strong MISHNA: /strong b The false prophet /b mentioned in the Torah includes b one who prophesies that which he did not hear /b from God b and /b one who prophesies b that which was not said to him, /b even if it was said to another prophet. In those cases, b his execution is at the hand of man, /b through strangulation imposed by the court., b But /b with regard to b one who suppresses his prophecy /b because he does not want to share it with the public, b and one who /b contemptuously b forgoes the statement of a prophet /b and refuses to heed it, b and a prophet who violated his own statement /b and failed to perform that which he was commanded to do, b his death is at the hand of Heaven, as it is stated: /b “And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall not hearken unto My words that he shall speak in My name, b I will exact it of him” /b (Deuteronomy 18:19)., b One who prophesies in the name of idol worship and says: This /b is what the b idol said, even /b if b he approximated the /b correct b i halakha /i /b in the name of the idol b to deem ritually impure that which is ritually impure and to deem ritually pure that which is ritually pure, /b is executed by strangulation.,In the case of b one who engages in intercourse with a married woman once she entered her husband’s domain for /b the purposes of b marriage, even if /b the marriage was not yet consummated, as b she did not /b yet b engage in intercourse /b with him, b one who engages in intercourse with her is /b executed b by strangulation. /b Before marriage, one who engages in intercourse with her is liable to be executed by stoning., b And conspiring /b witnesses who testified that b the daughter of a priest /b committed adultery are executed by strangulation, even though were she guilty, she would be executed by burning. b And her paramour /b is also executed by strangulation, as in any case where one engages in intercourse with a married woman. b As all /b those b who are rendered conspiring witnesses are led to /b their deaths via b the same /b mode of b execution /b with which they conspired to have their victim executed, b except for conspiring /b witnesses who testified that b the daughter of a priest and her paramour /b committed adultery. In that case, although the priest’s daughter who commits adultery is executed by burning, the conspiring witnesses who sought to have her executed are executed by strangulation, as is the paramour whom they also conspired to have executed., strong GEMARA: /strong b The Sages taught /b in a i baraita /i about the punishment of those who sin concerning prophecy: With regard to b three /b of them, b their execution is at the hand of man, and /b with regard to b three /b of them, b their execution is at the hand of Heaven. /b In the case of b one who prophesies that which he did not hear /b from God, b and /b one who prophesies b that which was not stated to him, and one who prophesies in the name of idol worship, their execution is at the hand of man. /b In the case of b one who suppresses his prophecy, and one who /b contemptuously b forgoes the statement of a prophet, and a prophet who violated his own statement, their execution is at the hand of Heaven. /b ,The Gemara asks: b From where are these matters /b derived? b Rav Yehuda says /b that b Rav says /b that it is derived from a verse, b as the verse states: /b “But the prophet who shall sin intentionally to speak a word in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die” (Deuteronomy 18:20). The Gemara analyzes the verse: b “But the prophet who shall sin intentionally to speak a word in My name”; this /b is a reference to b one who prophesies that which he did not hear. /b The verse then states: b “That I have not commanded him,” /b from which it is inferred: b But I did command another. This /b is a reference to b one who prophesies that which was not stated to him. “Or who shall speak in the name of other gods”; this /b is a reference to b one who prophesies in the name of idol worship. And it is written /b with regard to all of these: b “That prophet shall die.” And every death stated in the Torah without specification /b is referring to b nothing other than strangulation. /b , b One who suppresses his prophecy, and one who /b contemptuously b forgoes the statement of a prophet, and a prophet who violated his own statement, their execution is at the hand of Heaven, as it is written: /b “And it shall come to pass, that b whosoever shall not hearken [ i yishma /i ] unto My words /b that he shall speak in My name, I will exact from him” (Deuteronomy 18:19). The reference is to one who forgoes the statement of a prophet. b Read into /b the verse: Who b shall not voice [ i yashmia /i ]; /b the reference is to one who suppresses the prophecy. b And read into /b the verse: b Shall not heed [ i yishama /i ]; /b the reference is to one who violated his own statement. b And it is written /b with regard to all of these: b “I will exact from him,” /b meaning he is liable to receive death b at the hand of Heaven. /b ,§ The mishna lists among those liable to be executed as a false prophet b one who prophesies that which /b he b did not hear. /b The Gemara comments: b For example, Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, /b who prophesied that Ahab should wage war against the kingdom of Aram and would be successful, b as it is written: “And Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, made for him horns of iron, /b and said: So says the Lord: With these shall you gore the Arameans, until they are consumed” (II Chronicles 18:10). The Gemara asks: b What was /b Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, b to do? /b Why was he held responsible? After all, b the spirit of Naboth misled him, as it is written: “And the Lord said: Who shall entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead…and there came forth the spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said: I will entice him. And He said…You shall entice him, and shall prevail also; go forth, and do so” /b (I Kings 22:20–22)., b Rav Yehuda says: What /b is the meaning of the apparently unnecessary term: b “Go forth”? /b Could the Lord not have sufficed with telling the spirit: Do so? The term means: b Go forth from My proximity. /b Since the spirit volunteered to engage in deceit, it was no longer fit to stand in proximity to God. b What /b is the identity of the b spirit /b that undertook to entice Ahab? b Rabbi Yoḥa says: /b It was b the spirit of Naboth the Jezreelite, /b who was eager to take revenge upon Ahab.,The Gemara comments: b It was /b incumbent b upon /b Zedekiah b to discern /b between actual prophecies and false prophecies, b in accordance with /b the statement b of Rabbi Yitzḥak, as Rabbi Yitzḥak says: /b A prophetic vision relating to b one /b and the same b subject matter [ i sigenon /i ] may appear to several prophets, but two prophets do not prophesy /b employing b one /b and the same b style /b of expression.,An example of identical content expressed in different styles is the prophecy where b Obadiah said: “The pride of your heart has beguiled you” /b (Obadiah 1:3), and b Jeremiah said /b a similar message employing slightly different language: b “Your terribleness has deceived you, even the pride of your heart” /b (Jeremiah 49:16). b And /b with regard to b these /b false prophets, b from /b the fact b that /b in their case b all /b the prophets b are saying /b their prophecies b like each other, /b i.e., employing an identical style, b conclude from it /b that b they are saying nothing /b of substance and that it is a false prophecy.,The Gemara asks: b Perhaps /b Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, b did not know this /b statement b of Rabbi Yitzḥak, /b and therefore should not have been held responsible? The Gemara answers: b Jehoshaphat, /b king of Judea, b was there, and he said to them /b that they were false prophets, b as it is written: “But Jehoshaphat said: Is there not here besides a prophet of the Lord, /b that we might inquire of him?” (I Kings 22:7). Ahab b said to him: But aren’t there all these /b prophets here? Why seek others? Jehoshaphat b said to /b Ahab: b This is /b the tradition that b I received from the house of the father of my father, /b the house of David: A prophetic vision relating to b one /b and the same b subject matter may appear to several prophets, but two prophets do not prophesy /b employing b one /b and the same b style /b of expression. They are false prophets, as they employed the same language when stating their prophecy.,§ The mishna lists among those liable to be executed as false prophets b one who prophesies that which was not stated to him. /b The Gemara comments: b For example, Haiah, son of Azzur, as Jeremiah was standing in the upper market /b in Jerusalem b and saying: “So says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, /b the chief of their might” (Jeremiah 49:35). b Haiah raised an i a fortiori /i /b inference b himself: If, /b with regard to b Elam, which came only to assist Babylonia, the Holy One, Blessed be He, said: “Behold, I will break the bow of Elam,” all the more so /b are b the Chaldeans, /b i.e., the Babylonians, b themselves, /b destined to fall. Haiah b came to the lower market /b and b said: “So speaks the Lord /b of hosts, the God of Israel, saying: b I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon” /b (Jeremiah 28:2). As a result, Haiah, son of Azzur, was killed at the hand of Heaven (Jeremiah 28:16)., b Rav Pappa said to Abaye: /b Referring to this case as one who prophesies that which was not said to him is not precise, as not only was it not said to Haiah, b neither was this /b prophecy b stated to another /b prophet. Abaye b said to him: Since /b this matter b can be inferred /b by means of b an i a fortiori /i /b inference, b it is like /b a prophecy b that was said to /b Jeremiah, as inferring matters i a fortiori /i is a legitimate manner of derivation. It is Haiah who misrepresented the prophecy, b as it was not stated to him, /b i.e., to Haiah, and then he presented the prophecy as though he heard it from God.,The mishna lists among those liable to be executed as false prophets b one who prophesies in the name of idol worship. /b The Gemara comments: b For example, the prophets of the Baal /b (see I Kings, chapter 18).,The mishna lists among those liable to receive death at the hand of Heaven b one who suppresses his prophecy. /b The Gemara comments: b For example, Jonah, son of Amittai /b (Jonah 1:1–3). The mishna also lists: b And one who forgoes the statement of a prophet. /b The Gemara comments: b For example, /b

30b. What did David do? b Every Shabbat he would sit and learn all day /b long to protect himself from the Angel of Death. On b that day on which /b the Angel of Death b was supposed to put his soul to rest, /b the day on which David was supposed to die, b the Angel of Death stood before him and was unable /b to overcome him because b his mouth did not pause from study. /b The Angel of Death b said: What shall I do to him? David had a garden [ i bustana /i ] behind his house; the Angel of Death came, climbed, and shook the trees. /b David b went out to see. /b As b he climbed the stair, the stair broke beneath him. /b He was startled and b was silent, /b interrupted his studies for a moment, b and died. /b ,Since David died in the garden, b Solomon sent /b the following question b to the study hall: Father died and is lying in the sun, and the dogs of father’s house are hungry. /b There is room for concern lest the dogs come and harm his body. What shall I do? b They sent /b an answer b to him: Cut up an /b animal b carcass and place it before the dogs. /b Since the dogs are hungry, handling the animal carcass to feed them is permitted. b And /b with regard to b your father, /b it is prohibited to move his body directly. b Place a loaf /b of bread b or an infant on top of him, and /b you can b move him /b into the shade due to the bread or the infant. b And /b is it b not appropriate /b what b Solomon said: “ /b F b or a living dog is better than a dead lion.” /b The ultimate conclusion of this discussion is that life is preferable to death. b And /b now, b with regard to the question that I asked before you; /b Rav Tanḥum spoke modestly, as, actually, they had asked him the question. b A lamp is called i ner /i and a person’s soul is /b also b called i ner /i , /b as it is written: “The spirit of man is the lamp [ i ner /i ] of the Lord” (Proverbs 20:27). b It is preferable /b that b the lamp of /b a being of b flesh and blood, /b an actual lamp, b will be extinguished in favor of the lamp of the Holy One, Blessed be He, /b a person’s soul. Therefore, one is permitted to extinguish a flame for the sake of a sick person.,Since contradictions in Ecclesiastes were mentioned, the Gemara cites additional relevant sources. b Rav Yehuda, son of Rav Shmuel bar Sheilat, said in the name of Rav: The Sages sought to suppress the book of Ecclesiastes /b and declare it apocryphal b because its statements contradict each other /b and it is liable to confuse its readers. b And why did they not suppress it? Because its beginning /b consists of b matters of Torah and its end /b consists of b matters of Torah. /b The ostensibly contradictory details are secondary to the essence of the book, which is Torah. The Gemara elaborates: b Its beginning /b consists of b matters of Torah, as it is written: “What profit has man of all his labor which he labors under the sun?” /b (Ecclesiastes 1:3), b and /b the Sages of b the school /b of b Rabbi Yannai said: /b By inference: b Under the sun is where /b man b has no /b profit from his labor; however, b before the sun, /b i.e., when engaged in the study of Torah, which preceded the sun, b he does have /b profit. b Its ending /b consists of b matters of Torah, as it is written: “The end of the matter, all having been heard: Fear God, and keep His mitzvot; for this is the whole man” ( /b Ecclesiastes 12:13). With regard to this verse, the Gemara asks: b What is /b the meaning of the phrase: b For this is the whole man? Rabbi Eliezer said: The entire world was only created for this /b person. b Rabbi Abba bar Kahana said: This /b person b is equivalent to the entire world. Shimon ben Azzai says and some say /b that b Shimon ben Zoma says: The entire world was only created as companion to this /b man, so that he will not be alone., b And /b to the essence of the matter, the Gemara asks: b What is /b the meaning of: b Its statements /b that b contradict each other? It is written: “Vexation is better than laughter” /b (Ecclesiastes 7:3), b and it is written: “I said of laughter: It is praiseworthy” /b (Ecclesiastes 2:2), which is understood to mean that laughter is commendable. Likewise in one verse b it is written: “So I commended mirth” /b (Ecclesiastes 8:15), b and /b in another verse b it is written: “And of mirth: What does it accomplish?” /b (Ecclesiastes 2:2). The Gemara answers: This is b not difficult, /b as the contradiction can be resolved. b Vexation is better than laughter /b means: The b vexation /b of b the Holy One, Blessed be He, toward the righteous in this world is preferable to the laughter which the Holy One, Blessed be He, laughs with the wicked in this world /b by showering them with goodness. b I said of laughter: It is praiseworthy, that is /b the b laughter which the Holy One, Blessed be He, laughs with the righteous in the World-to-Come. /b ,Similarly, “ b So I commended mirth,” /b that is b the joy of a mitzva. “And of mirth: What does it accomplish?” that is joy that is not /b the joy b of a mitzva. /b The praise of joy mentioned here is b to teach you that the Divine Presence rests /b upon an individual b neither from /b an atmosphere of b sadness, nor from /b an atmosphere of b laziness, nor from /b an atmosphere of b laughter, nor from /b an atmosphere of b frivolity, nor from /b an atmosphere of b idle conversation, nor from /b an atmosphere of b idle chatter, but rather from /b an atmosphere imbued with b the joy of /b a b mitzva. As it was stated /b with regard to Elisha that after he became angry at the king of Israel, his prophetic spirit left him until he requested: b “But now bring me a minstrel; and it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the Lord came upon him” /b (II Kings 3:15). b Rav Yehuda said: And, so /b too, one should be joyful before stating b a matter of i halakha /i . Rava said: And, so too, /b one should be joyful before going to sleep in order b to /b have a b good dream. /b ,The Gemara asks: Is b that so, /b that one should introduce matters of i halakha /i joyfully? b Didn’t Rav Giddel say /b that b Rav said: Any Torah scholar who sits before his teacher and his lips are not dripping with myrrh /b due to fear of his teacher, those lips b shall be burnt, /b as b it is stated: “His lips are as lilies, dripping with flowing myrrh [ i shoshanim notefot mor over /i ]” /b (Song of Songs 5:13)? He interpreted homiletically: b Do not read i mor over /i , flowing myrrh; rather, /b read b i mar over /i , flowing bitterness. /b Likewise, b do not read i shoshanim /i , lilies; rather, /b read b i sheshonim /i , that are studying, /b meaning that lips that are studying Torah must be full of bitterness. The Gemara explains: This is b not difficult, /b there is no contradiction here, as b this, /b where it was taught that one should introduce matters of i halakha /i joyfully, is referring b to a rabbi, and that, /b where it was taught that one must be filled with bitterness, is referring b to a student, /b who must listen to his teacher with trepidation. b And if you wish, say /b instead that b this and that /b are referring b to a rabbi, and /b it is b not difficult. This, /b where it was taught that he must be joyful, is b before /b he b begins /b teaching, whereas b that, /b where it was taught that he must be filled with bitterness and trepidation, is b after /b he already b began /b teaching i halakha /i . That explanation is b like that which Rabba /b did. b Before he began /b teaching i halakha /i b to the Sages, he would say something humorous and the Sages would be cheered. Ultimately, he sat in trepidation and began /b teaching the i halakha /i ., b And, /b the Gemara continues, the Sages b sought to suppress the book of Proverbs as well /b because b its statements contradict each other. And why did they not suppress it? They said: /b In the case of b the book of Ecclesiastes, didn’t we analyze it and find an explanation /b that its statements were not contradictory? b Here too, let us analyze it. And what is /b the meaning of: b Its statements contradict each other? /b On the one hand, b it is written: “Answer not a fool according to his folly, /b lest you also be like him” (Proverbs 26:4), b and /b on the other hand, b it is written: “Answer a fool according to his folly, /b lest he be wise in his own eyes” (Proverbs 26:5). The Gemara resolves this apparent contradiction: This is b not difficult, /b as b this, /b where one should answer a fool, is referring to a case where the fool is making claims b about Torah matters; /b whereas b that, /b where one should not answer him, is referring to a case where the fool is making claims b about mundane matters. /b ,The Gemara relates how Sages conducted themselves in both of those circumstances. b As in /b the case b of that /b man b who came before Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi and b said to him: Your wife /b is b my wife and your children /b are b my children, /b Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi b said to him: /b Would b you like to drink a cup of wine? He drank and burst /b and died. Similarly, the Gemara relates: b There was that man who came before Rabbi Ḥiyya and said to him: Your mother /b is b my wife, and you /b are b my son. He said to him: /b Would b you like to drink a cup of wine? He drank and burst /b and died. b Rabbi Ḥiyya said /b with regard to the incident involving Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi: b Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi’s b prayer /b that b his children will not be rendered i mamzerim /i , /b children of illicit relations, b was effective for him. As when Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi b would pray, he said /b after his prayer: b May it be Your will, O Lord, my God, that You will deliver me today from impudent people and from insolence. /b Insolence, in this case, refers to i mamzerut /i . It was due to his prayer that that man burst and was unsuccessful in disparaging Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi’s children., b In matters of Torah, what is /b the case with regard to which the verse said that one should respond to a fool’s folly? b As in /b the case b where Rabban Gamliel was sitting and he interpreted /b a verse b homiletically: In the future, /b in the World-to-Come, b a woman will give birth every day, as it says: “The woman with child and her that gives birth together” /b (Jeremiah 31:7), explaining that birth will occur on the same day as conception. b A certain student scoffed at him /b and b said: /b That cannot be, as it has already been stated: b “There is nothing new under the sun” /b (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Rabban Gamliel b said to him: Come and I will show you an example /b of this b in this world. He took him outside and showed him a chicken /b that lays eggs every day., b And furthermore: Rabban Gamliel sat and interpreted /b a verse b homiletically: In the future, /b in the World-to-Come, b trees will produce fruits every day, as it is stated: “And it shall bring forth branches and bear fruit” /b (Ezekiel 17:23); b just as a branch /b grows b every day, so too, fruit /b will be produced b every day. A certain student scoffed at him /b and b said: Isn’t it written: There is nothing new under the sun? He said to him: Come and I will show you an example /b of this b in this world. He went outside and showed him a caper bush, /b part of which is edible during each season of the year., b And furthermore: Rabban Gamliel sat and interpreted /b a verse b homiletically: In the future, /b the World-to-Come, b Eretz Yisrael will produce cakes and /b fine b wool garments /b that will grow in the ground, b as it is stated: “Let abundant grain be in the land /b .” b A certain student scoffed at him and said: There is nothing new under the sun. He said to him: Come and I will show you an example in this world. He went outside /b and b showed him truffles and mushrooms, /b which emerge from the earth over the course of a single night and are shaped like a loaf of bread. b And with regard to wool garments, /b he showed him b the covering of a heart of palm, /b a young palm branch, which is wrapped in a thin net-like covering.,Since the Gemara discussed the forbearance of Sages, who remain silent in the face of nonsensical comments, it cites additional relevant examples. b The Sages taught /b in a i baraita /i : b A person should always be patient like Hillel and not impatient like Shammai. /b The Gemara related: There was b an incident /b involving b two people /b

26b. b to drink beer with /b the proceeds b seems well /b and is permitted. The seven representatives have the authority to annul the sanctity of the synagogue, and therefore the proceeds of its sale do not retain any sanctity.,The Gemara relates: b Ravina had a certain /b piece of land on which stood b a mound /b of the ruins b of a synagogue. He came before Rav Ashi /b and b said to him: What is /b the i halakha /i with regard b to sowing /b the land? b He said to him: Go, purchase it from the seven representatives of the town in an assembly of the residents of the town, and /b then you may b sow it. /b , b Rami bar Abba was /b once b building a synagogue. There was a certain old synagogue /b that b he wished to demolish, and bring bricks and beams from it, and bring them to there, /b to construct a new synagogue. b He sat and considered that which Rav Ḥisda /b said, b as Rav Ḥisda said: One should not demolish a synagogue until one has built another synagogue. /b Rami bar Abba reasoned that Rav Ḥisda’s ruling b there /b is b due to /b a concern of b negligence, /b as perhaps after the first synagogue is demolished, people will be negligent and a new one will never be built. However, in b a case like this, /b where the new synagogue is to be built directly from the materials of the old one, b what /b is the i halakha /i ? b He came before Rav Pappa /b to ask his opinion, b and he prohibited him /b from doing so. b He /b then came b before Rav Huna, and he /b also b prohibited him /b from doing so., b Rava said: /b With regard to b this synagogue, exchanging it /b for a different building b or selling it /b for money b is permitted, /b but b renting it /b out b or mortgaging it is prohibited. What is the reason /b for this? When a synagogue is rented out or mortgaged, it b remains in its sacred state. /b Therefore, it is prohibited to rent it out or mortgage it, because it will then be used for a non-sacred purpose. However, if it is exchanged or sold, its sanctity is transferred to the other building or to the proceeds of the sale, and therefore the old synagogue building may be used for any purpose.,The same i halakha /i is b also /b true of the b bricks /b of a synagogue; b exchanging them or selling them is permitted, /b but b renting them out is prohibited. /b The Gemara comments: b This applies to old /b bricks that have already been part of a synagogue, b but as for new /b bricks that have only been designated to be used in a synagogue, b we have no /b problem b with it /b if they are rented out for a non-sacred purpose., b And even according to the one who said /b that mere b designation is significant, /b i.e., although a certain object was not yet used for the designated purpose, the halakhic ramifications of using it for that purpose already take hold, b this applies /b only in a case where it was created from the outset for that purpose, b for example, one who weaves a garment /b to be used as shrouds b for a corpse. However, here /b the bricks are b comparable to /b already b spun /b thread that was then designated to be used b to weave /b burial shrouds. Concerning such designation, where nothing was specifically created for the designated purpose, b there is no one who said /b that the designation is significant., b Rav Aḥa and Ravina disagree about /b whether it is permitted to give away a synagogue as b a gift /b to then be used for a non-sacred purpose. b One /b of them b prohibited /b it, b and /b the other b one permitted /b it. b The one who prohibits /b it says: Is it possible that b with this /b act of giving alone b its sanctity is removed? /b This cannot be the case. Since the synagogue was not exchanged for anything else, there is nothing to which the sanctity may be transferred. Consequently, the synagogue remains sacred. b And the one who permitted /b it does so because he reasons that b if /b the donor b did not /b receive any b benefit from /b giving the synagogue, b he would not have given it. /b Therefore, b the gift has reverted to being like a sale, /b and the sanctity is transferred to the benefit received.,§ b The Sages taught /b in a i baraita /i : b Articles /b used in the performance b of a mitzva may be thrown out /b after use. Although these items were used in the performance of a mitzva, they are not thereby sanctified. However, b articles /b associated with the b sanctity /b of God’s name, i.e. articles on which God’s name is written, and articles that serve an article that has God’s name written on it, even after they are no longer used, b must be interred /b in a respectful manner. b And these /b items b are /b considered b articles of a mitzva: A i sukka /i ; a i lulav /i ; a i shofar /i ; /b and b ritual fringes. And these /b items b are /b considered b articles of sanctity: Cases /b of b scrolls, /b i.e. of Torah scrolls; b phylacteries; and i mezuzot /i ; and a container for a Torah scroll; and a cover for phylacteries; and their straps. /b , b Rava said: Initially, I used to say /b that b this lectern /b in the synagogue upon which the Torah is read b is /b only b an article of an article /b of sanctity, as the Torah scroll does not rest directly upon the lectern but rather upon the cloth that covers it. b And /b the i halakha /i is that once an article of an article of sanctity is no longer used, b it is permitted /b to throw it out. However, b once I saw that the Torah scroll is /b sometimes b placed /b directly b upon /b the lectern without an intervening cloth. b I said /b that b it is an article /b used directly for items b of sanctity, and /b as such b it is prohibited /b to simply discard it after use., b And Rava /b similarly b said: Initially, I used to say /b that b this curtain, /b which is placed at the opening to the ark as a decoration, b is /b only b an article of an article /b of sanctity, as it serves to beautify the ark but is not directly used for the Torah scroll. However, b once I saw that /b sometimes the curtain b is folded over and a Torah scroll is placed upon it. I said /b that b it is an article /b used directly for items b of sanctity and /b as such b it is prohibited /b to simply discard it after use., b And Rava /b further b said: /b With regard to b this ark that has fallen apart, constructing a smaller ark /b from its materials b is permitted, /b as both have the same level of sanctity, but to use the materials to construct b a lectern is prohibited /b because the lectern has a lesser degree of sanctity. b And Rava /b similarly b said: /b With regard to b this curtain /b used to decorate an ark b that has become worn out, to fashion it /b into b a wrapping cloth for /b Torah b scrolls is permitted, /b but to fashion it into a wrapping cloth b for /b a scroll of b one of the five /b books of the Torah b is prohibited. /b , b And Rava /b also b said: /b With regard to b these cases for /b storing scrolls of b one of the five /b books of the Torah b and sacks for /b storing Torah b scrolls, they are /b classified as b articles of sanctity. /b Therefore, b they are to be interred /b when they are no longer in use. The Gemara asks: b Isn’t /b that b obvious? /b The Gemara answers: b Lest you say /b that since b these /b items b are not made for the honor /b of the scrolls but rather b are made merely to /b provide b protection, /b they should not be classified as articles of sanctity, Rava therefore b teaches us /b that although they are indeed made to protect the scrolls, they also provide honor and are therefore to be classified as articles of sanctity.,The Gemara relates: There was b a certain synagogue of the Jews of Rome that opened out into a room in which a corpse was lying, /b thereby spreading the ritual impurity of the corpse throughout the synagogue. b And the priests wished to enter /b the synagogue b in order to pray there. /b However, it was prohibited for them to do so because a priest may not come in contact with ritual impurity of a corpse. b They came and spoke to Rava, /b about what to do. b He said to them: Lift up the ark and put it down /b in the opening between the two rooms, b as it is a wooden utensil that is designated to rest /b in one place and not be moved from there, b and /b the i halakha /i is that b a wooden utensil that is designated to rest is not susceptible to ritual impurity, and /b therefore it b serves as a barrier to /b prevent b ritual impurity /b from spreading., b The Rabbis said to Rava: But isn’t /b the ark b sometimes moved when a Torah scroll is /b still b resting inside it, and /b therefore b it is /b a utensil that b is moved /b both b when it is full and when it is empty; /b such a utensil is susceptible to ritual impurity and cannot prevent ritual impurity from spreading. He said to them: b If so, /b if it is as you claim, then b it is not possible /b to remedy the situation., b Mar Zutra said: /b With regard to b wrapping cloths of /b Torah b scrolls that have become worn out, they may be made into shrouds for a corpse with no one to bury it [ i met mitzva /i ], and this is their /b most appropriate manner for being b interred. /b , b And Rava said: A Torah scroll that became worn out is interred /b and buried b next to a Torah scholar, and /b in this regard, a Torah scholar is defined b even /b as b one who /b only b studies the i halakhot /i /b in the Mishna and the i baraitot /i but is not proficient in their analysis. b Rav Aḥa bar Ya’akov said: And /b when it is buried, it is first placed b in an earthenware vessel, as it is stated: “And put them in an earthenware vessel, that they may last for many days” /b (Jeremiah 32:14).,§ b And Rav Pappi said in the name of Rava: /b To convert a building b from a synagogue into a study hall /b is b permitted, /b but b from a study hall into a synagogue /b is b prohibited, /b as he holds that a study hall has a higher degree of sanctity than a synagogue. b And Rav Pappa in the name of Rava teaches the opposite, /b as he holds that a synagogue has a higher degree of sanctity than a study hall. b Rav Aḥa said: /b

2.129. رَبَّنَا وَابْعَثْ فِيهِمْ رَسُولًا مِنْهُمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِكَ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ 2.231. وَإِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَبَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ سَرِّحُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَلَا تُمْسِكُوهُنَّ ضِرَارًا لِتَعْتَدُوا وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ نَفْسَهُ وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا آيَاتِ اللَّهِ هُزُوًا وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَا أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَالْحِكْمَةِ يَعِظُكُمْ بِهِ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ 2.251. فَهَزَمُوهُمْ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَقَتَلَ دَاوُودُ جَالُوتَ وَآتَاهُ اللَّهُ الْمُلْكَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَعَلَّمَهُ مِمَّا يَشَاءُ وَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ اللَّهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لَفَسَدَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ 3.48. وَيُعَلِّمُهُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَالتَّوْرَاةَ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ 3.81. وَإِذْ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثَاقَ النَّبِيِّينَ لَمَا آتَيْتُكُمْ مِنْ كِتَابٍ وَحِكْمَةٍ ثُمَّ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مُصَدِّقٌ لِمَا مَعَكُمْ لَتُؤْمِنُنَّ بِهِ وَلَتَنْصُرُنَّهُ قَالَ أَأَقْرَرْتُمْ وَأَخَذْتُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكُمْ إِصْرِي قَالُوا أَقْرَرْنَا قَالَ فَاشْهَدُوا وَأَنَا مَعَكُمْ مِنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ 3.164. لَقَدْ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ بَعَثَ فِيهِمْ رَسُولًا مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَإِنْ كَانُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ لَفِي ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ 4.54. أَمْ يَحْسُدُونَ النَّاسَ عَلَى مَا آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ فَقَدْ آتَيْنَا آلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَآتَيْنَاهُمْ مُلْكًا عَظِيمًا 4.113. وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ وَرَحْمَتُهُ لَهَمَّتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يُضِلُّوكَ وَمَا يُضِلُّونَ إِلَّا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَضُرُّونَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَعَلَّمَكَ مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ تَعْلَمُ وَكَانَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ عَظِيمًا 17.39. ذَلِكَ مِمَّا أَوْحَى إِلَيْكَ رَبُّكَ مِنَ الْحِكْمَةِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ فَتُلْقَى فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَلُومًا مَدْحُورًا 19.16. وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ مَرْيَمَ إِذِ انْتَبَذَتْ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا مَكَانًا شَرْقِيًّا 19.17. فَاتَّخَذَتْ مِنْ دُونِهِمْ حِجَابًا فَأَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْهَا رُوحَنَا فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرًا سَوِيًّا 19.18. قَالَتْ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِالرَّحْمَنِ مِنْكَ إِنْ كُنْتَ

أَمْرًا مَقْضِيًّا 21.78. وَدَاوُودَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ إِذْ يَحْكُمَانِ فِي الْحَرْثِ إِذْ نَفَشَتْ فِيهِ غَنَمُ الْقَوْمِ وَكُنَّا لِحُكْمِهِمْ شَاهِدِينَ 21.79. فَفَهَّمْنَاهَا سُلَيْمَانَ وَكُلًّا آتَيْنَا حُكْمًا وَعِلْمًا وَسَخَّرْنَا مَعَ دَاوُودَ الْجِبَالَ يُسَبِّحْنَ وَالطَّيْرَ وَكُنَّا فَاعِلِينَ 21.105. وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِي الزَّبُورِ مِنْ بَعْدِ الذِّكْرِ أَنَّ الْأَرْضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِيَ الصَّالِحُونَ 31.12. وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا لُقْمَانَ الْحِكْمَةَ أَنِ اشْكُرْ لِلَّهِ وَمَنْ يَشْكُرْ فَإِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ حَمِيدٌ 31.13. وَإِذْ قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ وَهُوَ يَعِظُهُ يَا بُنَيَّ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ 31.14. وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ وَهْنًا عَلَى وَهْنٍ وَفِصَالُهُ فِي عَامَيْنِ أَنِ اشْكُرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيْكَ إِلَيَّ الْمَصِيرُ 31.15. وَإِنْ جَاهَدَاكَ عَلَى أَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي

16.2.41. Jericho is a plain encompassed by a mountainous district, which slopes towards it somewhat in the manner of a theatre. Here is the Phoenicon (or palm plantation), which contains various other trees of the cultivated kind, and producing excellent fruit; but its chief production is the palm tree. It is 100 stadia in length; the whole is watered with streams, and filled with dwellings. Here also is a palace and the garden of the balsamum. The latter is a shrub with an aromatic smell, resembling the cytisus and the terminthus. Incisions are made in the bark, and vessels are placed beneath to receive the sap, which is like oily milk. After it is collected in vessels, it becomes solid. It is an excellent remedy for headache, incipient suffusion of the eyes, and dimness of sight. It bears therefore a high price, especially as it is produced in no other place. This is the case also with the Phoenicon, which alone contains the caryotes palm, if we except the Babylonian plain, and the country above it towards the east: a large revenue is derived from the palms and balsamum; xylobalsamum is also used as a perfume. 16.2.42. The Lake Sirbonis is of great extent. Some say that it is 1000 stadia in circumference. It stretches along the coast, to the distance of a little more than 200 stadia. It is deep, and the water is exceedingly heavy, so that no person can dive into it; if any one wades into it up to the waist, and attempts to move forward, he is immediately lifted out of the water It abounds with asphaltus, which rises, not however at any regular seasons, in bubbles, like boiling water, from the middle of the deepest part. The surface is convex, and presents the appearance of a hillock. Together with the asphaltus, there ascends a great quantity of sooty vapour, not perceptible to the eye, which tarnishes copper, silver, and everything bright — even gold. The neighbouring people know by the tarnishing of their vessels that the asphaltus is beginning to rise, and they prepare to collect it by means of rafts composed of reeds. The asphaltus is a clod of earth, liquefied by heat; the air forces it to the surface, where it spreads itself. It is again changed into so firm and solid a mass by cold water, such as the water of the lake, that it requires cutting or chopping (for use). It floats upon the water, which, as I have described, does not admit of diving or immersion, but lifts up the person who goes into it. Those who go on rafts for the asphaltus cut it in pieces, and take away as much as they are able to carry. 16.2.43. Such are the phenomena. But Posidonius says, that the people being addicted to magic, and practising incantations, (by these means) consolidate the asphaltus, pouring upon it urine and other fetid fluids, and then cut it into pieces. (Incantations cannot be the cause), but perhaps urine may have some peculiar power (in effecting the consolidation) in the same manner that chrysocolla is formed in the bladders of persons who labour under the disease of the stone, and in the urine of children.It is natural for these phenomena to take place in the middle of the lake, because the source of the fire is in the centre, and the greater part of the asphaltus comes from thence. The bubbling up, however, of the asphaltus is irregular, because the motion of fire, like that of many other vapours, has no order perceptible to observers. There are also phenomena of this kind at Apollonia in Epirus. 16.2.44. Many other proofs are produced to show that this country is full of fire. Near Moasada are to be seen rugged rocks, bearing the marks of fire; fissures in many places; a soil like ashes; pitch falling in drops from the rocks; rivers boiling up, and emitting a fetid odour to a great distance; dwellings in every direction overthrown; whence we are inclined to believe the common tradition of the natives, that thirteen cities once existed there, the capital of which was Sodom, but that a circuit of about 60 stadia around it escaped uninjured; shocks of earthquakes, however, eruptions of flames and hot springs, containing asphaltus and sulphur, caused the lake to burst its bounds, and the rocks took fire; some of the cities were swallowed up, others were abandoned by such of the inhabitants as were able to make their escape.But Eratosthenes asserts, on the contrary, that the country was once a lake, and that the greater part of it was uncovered by the water discharging itself through a breach, as was the case in Thessaly.
