The Gemara answers: b Didn’t Shmuel say to Rav A /b that one should b teach it either /b as stating in b both this /b case b and that /b case that b one may go down and purchase /b the produce, b or /b in b both this /b case b and that /b case that b one may go down and gather /b the produce? b Mar, son of Rabbana, taught this /b mishna according to the following b lenient /b version: In b both this /b case b and that /b case b one may go down and gather /b the produce, b provided that he does not gather /b it b with /b his own b hand. /b ,§ With regard to the prohibition of i orla /i outside of Eretz Yisrael, the Gemara relates that b Levi said to Shmuel: Aryokh, /b Shmuel’s nickname, b supply me /b with such food, as I will not pick it on my own, b and /b if you do so b I will eat /b it. There is no reason for concern with regard to i orla /i outside of Eretz Yisrael. b Rav Avya and Rabba bar Rav Ḥa would supply /b produce whose i orla /i status was uncertain b for each other, /b as it is forbidden only if one takes the i orla /i on his own. b The sharp /b Sages b of Pumbedita said: /b The prohibition of b i orla /i does not /b apply at all b outside of Eretz /b Yisrael., b Rav Yehuda sent /b a question b to Rabbi Yoḥa /b concerning the i halakha /i with regard to i orla /i outside of Eretz Yisrael. b Rabbi Yoḥa sent him /b the following response: b Conceal, /b i.e., do not publicize, the i halakha /i that produce whose i orla /i status is b uncertain /b is permitted; b and destroy, /b i.e., prohibit entirely, produce whose i orla /i status is b certain; and with regard to /b the b produce of /b those who are lenient in this i halakha /i , b declare that it requires interment, /b as it is prohibited to derive benefit from such produce. b And whoever says /b that there is b no /b prohibition of b i orla /i outside of Eretz /b Yisrael b will have neither a child nor a grandchild “who shall cast the line by lot in the congregation of the Lord” /b (Micah 2:5).,The Gemara asks: b And in accordance with whose /b opinion b do /b the sharp Sages of Pumbedita b hold /b when they state this i halakha /i ? The Gemara answers: They hold b in accordance with that which is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b Rabbi Elazar, son of Rabbi Yosei, says in the name of Rabbi Yosei ben Durmaska, who said in the name of Rabbi Yosei HaGelili, who said in the name of Rabbi Yoḥa ben Nuri, who said in the name of Rabbi Eliezer the Great: /b The prohibition of b i orla /i /b does b not /b apply b outside of Eretz /b Yisrael.,The Gemara expresses surprise at this ruling: b But /b does it b not /b apply? Does Rabbi Eliezer maintain that the prohibition of i orla /i does not apply outside of Eretz Yisrael? b But didn’t we learn /b in the mishna that b Rabbi Eliezer says: Even /b the b new crop, /b which indicates that he agrees that i orla /i and diverse kinds are forbidden outside of Eretz Yisrael? The Gemara answers that one should not b teach /b that Rabbi Eliezer said: Even the new crop, but rather teach only the words: The b new crop, /b i.e., Rabbi Eliezer maintains that only this prohibition applies outside of Eretz Yisrael., b Rabbi Asi says /b that b Rabbi Yoḥa says: i Orla /i /b is forbidden b outside of Eretz /b Yisrael by b a i halakha /i /b transmitted b to Moses from Sinai. Rabbi Zeira said to Rabbi Asi: But isn’t it taught /b in a i baraita /i : With regard to produce whose status concerning b i orla /i /b is b uncertain, in Eretz /b Yisrael it is b forbidden, in Syria /b it is b permitted, /b and b outside of Eretz /b Yisrael b one goes down and gathers /b it? And if i orla /i is forbidden outside of Eretz Yisrael by a i halakha /i transmitted to Moses from Sinai, why is produce whose status concerning i orla /i is uncertain permitted in Syria? Rabbi Zeira b “was dismayed for a while” /b (Daniel 4:16), and then Rabbi Asi b said to him: Say /b that b it is stated like this, /b i.e., explain that the i halakha /i transmitted to Moses from Sinai was that outside of Eretz Yisrael produce whose status concerning i orla /i is b uncertain /b is b permitted, and /b produce whose status concerning i orla /i is b certain /b is b forbidden. /b ,§ b Rabbi Asi says /b that b Rabbi Yoḥa says: /b offenders b are flogged for /b transgressing the prohibition of b diverse kinds /b outside of Eretz Yisrael b by Torah law. Rabbi Elazar, son of Rabbi Yosei, said to him: But didn’t we learn /b in the mishna ( i Orla /i 3:9) that the prohibition of b diverse kinds /b applies b by rabbinic law /b outside of Eretz Yisrael? The Gemara answers: This is b not difficult. /b The mishna b here /b is referring b to diverse kinds in a vineyard, /b which is prohibited outside of Eretz Yisrael by rabbinic law, whereas b there, /b Rabbi Yoḥa’s statement is referring b to /b the b grafting of a tree /b onto a different species.,The Gemara adds that this i halakha /i is b in accordance with /b the opinion b of Shmuel. As Shmuel says: /b The verse states: b “You shall keep My statutes” /b (Leviticus 19:19), which means that one must keep even the b statutes that I have already instituted for you /b when you were merely descendants of Noah, before the giving of the Torah. Shmuel elaborates: This is referring to the prohibitions stated in that same verse: b “You shall not let your cattle gender with a diverse kind; you shall not sow your field /b with two kinds of seed” (Leviticus 19:19).,Additionally, the juxtaposition of these prohibitions teaches that b just as /b the prohibition of diverse kinds stated with regard to b your animal /b applies only b to mating /b one species with another, b so too, /b the prohibition of diverse kinds with regard to b your field /b is referring only b to grafting /b one type of tree to another type, and it does not apply to planting two species together. Furthermore, b just as /b the prohibition of diverse kinds with regard to b your animal applies both in Eretz /b Yisrael b and outside of Eretz /b Yisrael, as this prohibition does not relate to the land, b so too, /b the prohibition against grafting b your field applies both in Eretz /b Yisrael b and outside of Eretz /b Yisrael.,The Gemara asks: b But isn’t it written: “Your field,” /b which indicates that the field belongs to you in your portion of Eretz Yisrael? The Gemara answers: b That /b verse serves b to exclude /b the prohibition of diverse kinds of b seeds, /b which does not apply b outside of Eretz /b Yisrael. Planting different types of seeds together is prohibited only in Eretz Yisrael.,§ The Gemara relates: b Rav Ḥa and Rav A were /b once b going /b together b on a road /b outside of Eretz Yisrael and b they saw a certain man planting seeds /b of diverse kinds b together. /b One of them b said to /b the other: b Let the Master come /b and b ostracize him, /b as he is performing a prohibited act. The other b said to him: /b These i halakhot /i b are not understood by you. /b , b And furthermore, they /b also b saw a certain man who was planting wheat and barley between grapevines. /b One of them b said to /b the other: b Let the Master come /b and b ostracize him. He /b again b said to him: /b These i halakhot /i are b not clear to you. /b He explained: b Don’t we hold in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Yoshiya, who says: /b One who sows diverse kinds is not liable by Torah law b until he sows wheat, and barley, and /b a grape b seed with a single hand motion, /b i.e., by sowing in the vineyard he violates the prohibition of diverse kinds that applies to seeds and to the vineyard simultaneously. Since this man was not planting in that manner, he should not be ostracized.,The Gemara relates: b Rav Yosef /b was b mixing /b diverse b seeds and planting /b them. b Abaye said to him: But didn’t we learn /b in the mishna that mixing b diverse kinds /b is prohibited outside of Eretz Yisrael b by rabbinic law? /b Rav Yosef b said to him: /b This is b not difficult, /b as b here, /b the mishna is referring b to diverse kinds in a vineyard, /b and b there, /b I am planting legally because I am planting only b diverse kinds of seeds. /b The reason for the difference between these two cases is as follows: With regard to planting b diverse kinds in a vineyard, which in Eretz /b Yisrael b is prohibited /b even b with regard to /b deriving b benefit, the Sages issued a decree /b prohibiting this mixture b outside of Eretz /b Yisrael as well. Conversely, with regard to planting b diverse kinds of seeds, which in Eretz /b Yisrael b is not prohibited with regard to /b deriving b benefit, the Sages did not issue a decree /b prohibiting b them outside of Eretz /b Yisrael., b Rav Yosef then said: The matter that I said, /b i.e., that diverse kinds of seeds are entirely permitted outside of Eretz Yisrael, b is not /b so. The proof is that b Rav planted the garden /b around b the study hall in rows [ i mesharei /i ] /b of different species. b What is the reason /b that he did that rather than plant different species together? Is it b not because /b he was concerned about b mixtures of diverse kinds? Abaye said to him: /b That is not proof. b Granted, if he taught us /b this i halakha /i through his actions, |

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

And he was holding two cups of wine in his hands and was pouring from this one to that one, and from that one to this one, and not /b one b drop fell to the ground. And that day was /b stormy, similar to the description in a verse dealing with seafarers: b “They mounted up to the heavens, they went down to the deeps; /b their soul melted away because of trouble” (Psalms 107:26). He continued in this manner b until /b word of his behavior b was heard in the house of the king, and they killed him. /b , b Rabba said: I have seen a day-old antelope [ i urzila /i ] that was /b as large b as Mount Tabor. And how /b large b is Mount Tabor? /b It is b four parasangs. And the length of its neck /b was b three parasangs, and the place where his head rests /b was b a parasang and a half. It cast feces [ i kufta /i ] and /b thereby b dammed up the Jordan. /b , b And Rabba bar bar Ḥana said: I have seen a certain frog [ i akrokta /i ] that was /b as large b as the fort [ i akra /i ] of Hagronya. And how /b large b is the fort of Hagronya? /b It is as large as b sixty houses. A snake came and swallowed /b the frog. b A raven came and swallowed the snake, and /b flew b up and sat in a tree. Come /b and b see how great is the strength of the tree, /b which could bear the weight of that raven. b Rav Pappa bar Shmuel said: If I had not been there /b and seen this, b I would not believe /b it.,§ b And Rabba bar bar Ḥana said: Once we were traveling in a ship and we saw a certain fish in /b whose b nostril [ i be’usyeih /i ] a mud eater [ i akhla tina /i ], /b i.e., a type of insect, b had sat /b and killed him. b And the waters thrust /b the fish b and threw it upon the shore. And sixty districts were destroyed by /b the fish, b and sixty districts ate from it, and /b another b sixty districts salted its /b meat to preserve it. b And they filled from one of its eyeballs three hundred flasks of oil. And when we returned /b there b after /b the b twelve months /b of b the year /b had passed, b we saw that they were cutting beams from its bones, and they had set out to build those districts /b that had been destroyed., b And Rabba bar bar Ḥana said: Once we were traveling on a ship and we saw a certain fish upon which sand had settled, and grass grew on it. We assumed /b that b it was dry land and went up and baked and cooked on the back /b of the fish, b but when its back /b grew b hot it turned over. And were it not for /b the fact b that /b the b ship was close /b by, b we would have drowned. /b , b And Rabba bar bar Ḥana said: Once we were traveling in a ship and the ship traveled between /b one b fin [ i shitza /i ] and /b the other b fin of a fish /b for b three days and three nights. /b The fish was swimming in the opposite direction of the ship, so that b it /b was swimming b upward /b against the wind and the waves, b and we were /b sailing b downward. And if you would say /b that b the ship did not travel very fast, when Rav Dimi came /b from Eretz Yisrael to Babylonia b he said: /b In the short amount of time required to b heat a kettle of water, /b that ship can b travel sixty parasangs. And /b another demonstration of its speed is that b a horseman shot an arrow, and /b yet the ship was traveling so swiftly that it b outraced it. And Rav Ashi said: That /b fish b was a sea i gildana /i , which has two /b sets of b fins. /b , b And Rabba bar bar Ḥana said: Once we were traveling in a ship and we saw a certain bird that was standing with water up to its ankles [ i kartzuleih /i ] and its head /b was b in the sky. And we said /b to ourselves that b there is no /b deep b water /b here, b and we wanted to go down to cool ourselves off. And a Divine Voice emerged and said to us: Do not go down here, as the ax of a carpenter fell /b into it b seven years /b ago b and /b it has still b not reached the bottom. And /b this is b not because the water is so large /b and deep. b Rather, /b it is b because the water is turbulent. Rav Ashi said: And that /b bird b is /b called b i ziz sadai /i , /b wild beast, b as it is written: /b “I know all the fowls of the mountains; b and the i ziz sadai /i is Mine” /b (Psalms 50:11)., b And Rabba bar bar Ḥana said: Once we were traveling in the desert and we saw these geese whose wings were sloping because they were so fat, and streams of oil flowed beneath them. I said to them: Shall we have a portion of you in the World-to-Come? One raised a wing, and one raised a leg, /b signaling an affirmative response. b When I came before Rabbi Elazar, he said to me: The Jewish people will /b eventually b be held accountable for /b the suffering b of /b the geese. Since the Jews do not repent, the geese are forced to continue to grow fat as they wait to be given to the Jewish people as a reward.,§ The Gemara provides b a mnemonic /b for the items shown by an Arab man to Rabba bar bar Ḥana in the following stories: b Like the dust of the sky-blue; the scorpion stung the basket. /b , b And Rabba bar bar Ḥana said: Once we were traveling in the desert and we were accompanied by a certain Arab who would take dust and smell it and say: This is the road to such and such a place, and that is the road to such and such a place. We said to him: How far are we from water? And he said to us: Bring me dust. We brought /b it b to him, and he said: Eight parasangs. /b Later, we said this b a second time, and gave him /b dust, and b he said to us that we are at a distance of three parasangs. I switched /b the type of dust to test him, b but I could not /b confuse b him, /b as he was an expert in this matter.,That Arab b said to me: Come, I will show you the dead of the wilderness, /b i.e., the Jewish people who left Egypt and died in the wilderness. b I went /b and b saw them; and they had the appearance of one who is intoxicated, /b |

Ulla replied that the source is b as it is written: “And they are there to this day,” /b which is referring to any day when one might read this sentence, i.e., forever. Rabba objected to this explanation: b And /b is it the case that b anywhere that it is written “to this day” it /b means b forever, /b as opposed to the time when the verse was written? b But isn’t it written: “And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwelt with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem, to this day” /b (Judges 1:21)? b So too here, /b let us say b that /b the Jebusites b were not exiled /b from Jerusalem., b But wasn’t it taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi Yehuda says: No person passed through /b the land of b Judea /b for b fifty-two years /b after the destruction of the Temple by Nebuchadnezzar, b as it is stated: “I will raise crying and wailing for the mountains, and a lamentation for the pastures of the wilderness, for they have been burned, with no person passing through. And they do not hear the sound of the cattle; from the bird of the heavens to the beast [ i behema /i ], all have fled and gone” /b (Jeremiah 9:9). b i Behema /i , /b spelled i beit /i , i heh /i , i mem /i , i heh /i , b has a numerical value of fifty-two, /b alluding to the fact that no one passed through the land for fifty-two years., b And it was taught /b in another i baraita /i that b Rabbi Yosei says: /b For b seven years /b a curse of b brimstone and salt endured in Eretz Yisrael, /b rendering it unfit for human habitation. b And Rabbi Yoḥa said: What is the rationale of Rabbi Yosei; /b from where does he learn this? It is b derived from /b a verbal analogy between b “covet” /b and b “covet.” It is written here: “And he shall make a firm covet with many for one week” /b (Daniel 9:27), i.e., seven years. b And it is written there: /b “And that its entire land is brimstone and salt… b They shall say: Because they forsook the covet of the Lord, the God of their fathers” /b (Deuteronomy 29:22; 24). Evidently, the Jebusites must have been exiled from Jerusalem, which proves that the phrase “to this day” does not always mean forever.,Ulla b said to him: Here, /b with regard to the Ark, b it is written: /b “And they are b there”; /b whereas b there, /b in the verse that deals with the Jebusites, b it is not written. And anywhere that “there” is written /b with the phrase “to this day” b it /b means b forever. /b The Gemara b raises an objection /b from the following verse: b “And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went to Mount Seir having for their captains Pelatiah and Neariah and Rephaiah and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi. And they smote the remt of the Amalekites who escaped, and dwelt there to this day” /b (I Chronicles 4:42–43).,The Gemara explains its objection: b But Sennacherib, king of Assyria, /b had b already come, and /b through his policy of forced population transfer b he had scrambled all /b the nations of b the lands, as it is stated /b in reference to Sennacherib: b “And I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures” /b (Isaiah 10:13). This indicates that the children of Simeon were also exiled, despite the fact that the verse states: “There to this day.” The Gemara concludes: Indeed, this is b a conclusive refutation /b of Ulla’s statement., b Rav Naḥman said /b that a Sage b taught /b in the i Tosefta /i : b And the Rabbis say /b that the b Ark /b of the Covet b was buried in the Chamber of the Woodshed. Rav Naḥman bar Yitzḥak said: We, too, have learned /b in a mishna: There was b an incident involving a certain priest who was occupied /b with various matters, b and he saw a floor /b tile in the woodshed that was b different from the others. /b One of the marble floor tiles was higher than the rest, suggesting it had been lifted out and replaced. b He came and informed his friend /b of the uneven tile, b but was unable to finish his report /b and provide the exact location of the tile b before his soul departed /b from his body. b And /b consequently b they knew definitively that the Ark was buried there, /b but its location was meant to be kept secret.,The Gemara asks: b What was he doing, /b that priest who noticed the misplaced tile? b Rabbi Ḥelbo said: He was occupied with his axe, /b i.e., he was banging the floor with his axe. He thereby discovered an empty space under a tile, which he guessed was the opening of a tunnel. b The school of Rabbi Yishmael taught: Two blemished priests were sorting wormy wood when the axe of one of them dropped and fell there, /b into the hole in the floor. Blemished priests were appointed to inspect the wood for worms, as these logs were unfit for use on the altar. b And fire burst out and consumed /b that priest, so the exact location remains unknown.,§ b Rabbi Yehuda raised a contradiction. It is written: “The ends of the staves were seen,” and it is written /b in that same verse: b “But they could not be seen without” /b (I Kings 8:8). b How /b can one reconcile this contradiction? b They were seen and /b yet b not seen, /b i.e., the staves were partially visible. b This was also taught /b in a i baraita /i : b “The ends of the staves were seen”; /b one b might /b have thought that b they did not move from their position /b and did not protrude at all. Therefore, b the verse states: “And the staves were so long.” /b One b might /b have thought that b they ripped through the curtain and emerged /b on the other side; therefore, b the verse states: “They could not be seen without.” /b , b How /b is this so? The staves of the Ark b pushed and protruded and stuck out against the curtain /b toward the outside, b and appeared like the two breasts of a woman /b pushing against her clothes. b As it is stated: “My beloved is to me like a bundle of myrrh, that lies between my breasts” /b (Song of Songs 1:13). For this reason the Ark of the Covet, where the Divine Presence rests, is positioned so that its staves protrude through the curtain, like the breasts of a woman.,Continuing the previous discussion, b Rav Ketina said: When the Jewish people would ascend for /b one of the pilgrimage b Festivals, /b the priests would b roll up the curtain for them and show them the cherubs, which were clinging to one another, and say to them: See how you are beloved before God, like the love of a male and female. /b The two cherubs symbolize the Holy One, Blessed be He, and the Jewish people., b Rav Ḥisda raised an objection: /b How could the priests allow the people to see this? After all, it is stated with regard to the Tabernacle: b “But they shall not go in to see the sacred objects as they are being covered, /b lest they die” (Numbers 4:20), b and Rav Yehuda said /b that b Rav said: When the vessels were put into their containers /b for transport, it was prohibited even for the Levites to look at them. The prohibition against viewing the vessels should be even more severe when they are fixed in their sacred place within the Temple. How could they be publicly displayed?, b Rav Naḥman said /b in answer: This is b analogous to a bride; as long as she is /b engaged but still b in her father’s house, she is modest /b in the presence b of her husband. /b However, b once she /b is married and b comes to her father-in-law’s house /b to live with her husband, b she is no longer modest /b in the presence b of her husband. /b Likewise, in the wilderness, when the Divine Presence did not dwell in a permanent place, it was prohibited to see the sacred objects. By contrast, all were allowed to see the sacred objects in their permanent place in the Temple., b Rav Ḥana bar Rav Ketina raised an objection /b from the aforementioned mishna: There was b an incident involving a certain priest who was occupied /b and discovered the place where the Ark was hidden, and he subsequently died before he could reveal its location. Since he was prevented from seeing the Ark, it was evidently prohibited to see the sacred objects even after the Temple was built. Rav Naḥman b said to him: /b This is not difficult, as b you are speaking /b of when b she was divorced. /b Since the Jewish people were exiled after the destruction of the First Temple, they are compared to a woman divorced from her husband, b and when /b a woman is b divorced she returns to her original beloved /b but reserved state. She is once again modest and does not reveal herself. Likewise, the Divine Presence will remain hidden until the glory of the First Temple is restored.,The Gemara poses a question concerning Rav Ketina’s statement: b With what are we dealing /b here; in what circumstance did the priests roll up the curtain to show everyone the cherubs? b If we say /b this is referring b to /b the b First Temple, was there a curtain /b between the Sanctuary and the Holy of Holies? In the First Temple, there was a wall there. b Rather, /b we will say this is referring b to /b the b Second Temple; /b but b were there cherubs /b there? Since there was no Ark, it follows that there were no cherubs on it. The Gemara answers: b Actually, /b Rav Ketina is referring b to /b the b First Temple, and what is the curtain /b that he mentioned? It is b the curtain of the gates. /b For all of the Jewish people to be able to see, they had to raise the curtains hanging on all the gates., b As Rabbi Zeira said /b that b Rav said: There were thirteen curtains in the /b Second b Temple: Seven opposite, /b i.e., on the inside of, b seven gates; two /b additional ones within the Temple, b one /b of which was b at the entrance to the Sanctuary and /b the other b one /b of which was b at the entrance to the Entrance Hall. Two /b additional curtains were b within the partition, /b in the Holy of Holies in place of the one-cubit partition, b and two corresponding to them /b were above b in the upper chamber. /b Above the Holy of Holies, there was another level in the same layout as the one below, and a curtain was affixed there, too, as no one climbed up to the higher chamber above the Holy of Holies without a pressing need. These curtains were most likely hanging in the First Temple as well., b Rav Aḥa bar Ya’akov said: Actually, /b Rav Ketina’s statement is referring b to /b the b Second Temple: /b There was a curtain at the entrance of the Holy of Holies, b and /b indeed b there were images of cherubs there, /b i.e., drawn or engraved pictures of the cherubs on the walls. b As it is written: “And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubs and palm trees and open flowers, /b within and without” (I Kings 6:29), and it is further stated: b “And he overlaid them with gold fitted upon the graven work” /b (I Kings 6:35), which teaches that in addition to the cherubs within the sacred place, other cherubs were drawn on the walls., b And it is written: “According to the space of each with i loyot /i ” /b (I Kings 7:36). The Gemara asks: b What is /b the meaning of: b “According to the space of each with i loyot /i ”? Rabba bar Rav Sheila said: /b |
