36. Cicero, On The Nature of The Gods, 1.50-1.56, 1.121-1.124, 2.57, 2.73 (2nd cent. BCE - 1st cent. BCE) Tagged with subjects: •yom kippur Found in books: Albrecht (2014) 317 | 1.50. Moreover there is the supremely potent principle of infinity, which claims the closest and most careful study; we must understand that it has the following property, that in the sum of things everything has its exact match and counterpart. This property is termed by Epicurus isonomia, or the principle of uniform distribution. From this principle it follows that if the whole number of mortals be so many, there must exist no less a number of immortals, and if the causes of destruction are beyond count, the causes of conservation also are bound to be infinite. "You Stoics are also fond of asking us, Balbus, what is the mode of life of the gods and how they pass their days. 1.51. The answer is, their life is the happiest conceivable, and the one most bountifully furnished with all good things. God is entirely inactive and free from all ties of occupation; he toils not neither does he labour, but he takes delight in his own wisdom and virtue, and knows with absolute certainty that he will always enjoy pleasures at once consummate and everlasting. 1.52. This is the god whom we should call happy in the proper sense of the term; your Stoic god seems to us to be grievously overworked. If the world itself is god, what can be less restful than to revolve at incredible speed round the axis of the heavens without a single moment of respite? but repose is an essential condition of happiness. If on the other hand some god resides within the world as its governor and pilot, maintaining the courses of the stars, the changes of the seasons and all the ordered process of creation, and keeping a watch on land and sea to guard the interests and lives of men, why, what a bondage of irksome and laborious business is his! 1.53. We for our part deem happiness to consist in tranquillity of mind and entire exemption from all duties. For he who taught us all the rest has also taught us that the world was made by nature, without needing an artificer to construct it, and that the act of creation, which according to you cannot be performed without divine skill, is so easy, that nature will create, is creating and has created worlds without number. You on the contrary cannot see how nature can achieve all this without the aid of some intelligence, and so, like the tragic poets, being unable to bring the plot of your drama to a dénouement, you have recourse to a god; 1.54. whose intervention you assuredly would not require if you would but contemplate the measureless and boundless extent of space that stretches in every direction, into which when the mind projects and propels itself, it journeys onward far and wide without ever sighting any margin or ultimate point where it can stop. Well then, in this immensity of length and breadth and height there flits an infinite quantity of atoms innumerable, which though separated by void yet cohere together, and taking hold each of another form unions wherefrom are created those shapes and forms of things which you think cannot be created without the aid of bellows and anvils, and so have saddled us with an eternal master, whom day and night we are to fear; for who would not fear a prying busybody of a god, who foresees and thinks of and notices all things, and deems that everything is his concern? 1.55. An outcome of this theology was first of all your doctrine of Necessity or Fate, heimarmenē, as you termed it, the theory that every event is the result of an eternal truth and an unbroken sequence of causation. But what value can be assigned to a philosophy which thinks that everything happens by fate? it is a belief for old women, and ignorant old women at that. And next follows your doctrine of mantikē, or Divination, which would so steep us in superstition, if we consented to listen to you, that we should be the devotees of soothsayers, augurs, oracle-mongers, seers and interpreters of dreams. 1.56. But Epicurus has set us free from superstitious terrors and delivered us out of captivity, so that we have no fear of beings who, we know, create no trouble for themselves and seek to cause none to others, while we worship with pious reverence the transcendent majesty of nature. "But I fear that enthusiasm for my subject has made me prolix. It was difficult however to leave so vast and splendid a theme unfinished, although really it was not my business to be a speaker so much as a listener." 1.121. for who could form a mental picture of such images? who could adore them and deem them worthy of worship or reverence? "Epicurus however, in abolishing divine beneficence and divine benevolence, uprooted and exterminated all religion from the human heart. For while asserting the supreme goodness and excellence of the divine nature, he yet denies to god the attribute of benevolence — that is to say, he does away with that which is the most essential element of supreme goodness and excellence. For what can be better or more excellent than kindness and beneficence? Make out god to be devoid of either, and you make him devoid of all love, affection or esteem for any other being, human or divine. It follows not merely that the gods do not care for mankind, but that they have no care for one another. How much more truth there is in the Stoics, whom you censure! They hold that all wise men are friends, even when strangers to each other, since nothing is more lovable than virtue, and he that attains to it will have our esteem in whatever country he dwells. 1.122. But as for you, what mischief you cause when you reckon kindness and benevolence as weaknesses! Apart altogether from the nature and attributes of deity, do you think that even human beneficence and benignity are solely due to human infirmity? Is there no natural affection between the good? There is something attractive in the very sound of the word 'love,' from which the Latin term for friendship is derived. If we base our friendship on its profit to ourselves, and not on its advantage to those whom we love, it will not be friendship at all, but a mere bartering of selfish interests. That is our standard of value for meadows and fields and herds of cattle: we esteem them for the profits that we derive from them; but affection and friendship between men is disinterested; how much more so therefore is that of the gods, who, although in need of nothing, yet both love each other and care for the interests of men. If this be not so, why do we worship and pray to them? why have pontiffs and augurs to preside over our sacrifices and auspices? why make petitions and vow offerings to heaven? 'Why, but Epicurus (you tell me) actually wrote a treatise on holiness.' 1.123. Epicurus is making fun of us, though he is not so much a humorist as a loose and careless writer. For how can holiness exist if the gods pay no heed to man's affairs? Yet what is the meaning of an animate being that pays no heed to anything? "It is doubtless therefore truer to say, as the good friend of us all, Posidonius, argued in the fifth book of his On the Nature of the Gods, that Epicurus does not really believe in the gods at all, and that he said what he did about the immortal gods only for the sake of deprecating popular odium. Indeed he could not have been so senseless as really to imagine god to be like a feeble human being, but resembling him only in outline and surface, not in solid substance, and possessing all man's limbs but entirely incapable of using them, an emaciated and transparent being, showing no kindness or beneficence to anybody, caring for nothing and doing nothing at all. In the first place, a being of this nature is an absolute impossibility, and Epicurus was aware of this, and so actually abolishes the gods, although professedly retaining them. 1.124. Secondly, even if god exists, yet is of such a nature that he feels no benevolence or affection towards men, good‑bye to him, say I — not 'God be gracious to me,' why should I say that? for he cannot be gracious to anybody, since, as you tell us, all benevolence and affection is a mark of weakness." 2.57. "I therefore believe that I shall not be wrong if in discussing this subject I take my first principle from the prince of seekers after truth, Zeno himself. Now Zeno gives this definition of nature: 'nature (he says) is a craftsmanlike fire, proceeding methodically to the work of generation.' For he holds that the special function of an art or craft is to create and generate, and that what in the processes of our arts is done by the hand is done with far more skilful craftsmanship by nature, that is, as I said, by that 'craftsmanlike' fire which is the teacher of the other arts. And on this theory, while each department of nature is 'craftsmanlike,' in the sense of having a method or path marked out for it to follow, 2.73. "Next I have to show that the world is governed by divine providence. This is of course a vast topic; the doctrine is hotly contested by your school, Cotta, and it is they no doubt that are my chief adversaries here. As for you and your friends, Velleius, you scarcely understand the vocabulary of the subject; for you only read your own writings, and are so enamoured of them that you pass judgement against all the other schools without giving them a hearing. For instance, you yourself told us yesterday that the Stoics present Pronoia or providence in the guise of an old hag of a fortune-teller; this was due to your mistaken notion that they imagine providence as a kind of special deity who rules and governs the universe. But as a matter of fact 'providence' is an elliptical expression; |

He set His bow in the cloud for a sign of the eternal covet that there should not again be a flood on the earth to destroy it all the days of the earth. 6.24. For this reason it is ordained and written on the heavenly tables, that they should celebrate the feast of weeks in this month once a year, to renew the covet every year. 6.25. And this whole festival was celebrated in heaven from the day of creation till the days of Noah-twenty-six jubilees and five weeks of years:... 6.26. and Noah and his sons observed it for seven jubilees and one week of years, till the day of Noah's death, and from the day of Noah's death his sons did away with (it) until the days of Abraham, and they ate blood. 6.27. But Abraham observed it, and Isaac and Jacob and his children observed it up to thy days, 6.28. and in thy days the children of Israel forgot it until ye celebrated it anew on this mountain. 6.29. And do thou command the children of Israel to observe this festival in all their generations for a commandment unto them: 6.30. one day in the year in this month they shall celebrate the festival. 6.31. For it is the feast of weeks and the feast of first-fruits: 8.19. and his portion goeth towards the west through the midst of this river, and it extendeth till it reacheth the water of the abysses, out of which this river goeth forth 12.16. and Abram, dwelt with Terah his father in Haran two weeks of years. 12.17. And in the sixth week, in the fifth year thereof, Abram sat up throughout the night on the new moon of the seventh month to observe the stars from the evening to the morning, in order to see what would be the character of the year with regard to the rains, 12.18. and he was alone as he sat and observed. br And a word came into his heart and he said: "All the signs of the stars, and the signs of the moon and of the sun are all in the hand of the Lord. 16.30. And, as a thank-offering, seven rams, seven kids, seven sheep, and seven he-goats, and their fruit-offerings and their drink-offerings; 21.16. And as regards the wood of the sacrifices, beware lest thou bring (other) wood for the altar in addition to these: cypress, dêfrân, sagâd, pine, fir, cedar, savin, palm, olive, myrrh, laurel, and citron, juniper, and balsam. 34.18.

For what man is there who does not honour that sacred seventh day, granting in consequence a relief and relaxation from labour, for himself and for all those who are near to him, and that not to free men only, but also to slaves, and even to beasts of burden; 2.22. for the holiday extends even to every description of animal, and to every beast whatever which performs service to man, like slaves obeying their natural master, and it affects even every species of plant and tree; for there is no shoot, and no branch, and no leaf even which it is allowed to cut or to pluck on that day, nor any fruit which it is lawful to gather; but everything is at liberty and in safety on that day, and enjoys, as it were, perfect freedom, no one ever touching them, in obedience to a universal proclamation. 2.23. Again, who is there who does not pay all due respect and honour to that which is called "the fast," and especially to that great yearly one which is of a more austere and venerable character than the ordinary solemnity at the full moon? on which, indeed, much pure wine is drunk, and costly entertainments are provided, and everything which relates to eating and drinking is supplied in the most unlimited profusion, by which the insatiable pleasures of the belly are inflamed and increased. 2.24. But on this fast it is not lawful to take any food or any drink, in order that no bodily passion may at all disturb or hinder the pure operations of the mind; but these passions are wont to be generated by fulness and satiety, so that at this time men feast, propitiating the Father of the universe with holy prayers, by which they are accustomed to solicit pardon for their former sins, and the acquisition and enjoyment of new blessings. |

Hactenus, et gemuit. Gelidus nutricis in artus 10.424. ossaque (sensit enim) penetrat tremor, albaque toto 10.425. vertice canities rigidis stetit hirta capillis. 10.426. Multaque, ut excuteret diros, si posset, amores, 10.427. addidit: at virgo scit se non falsa moneri, 10.428. certa mori tamen est, si non potiatur amore. 10.429. “Vive,” ait haec “potiere tuo” — et, non ausa “parente” 10.430. dicere, conticuit promissaque numine firmat. 10.431.

Tempus erat, quo cuncta silent, interque triones 10.447. flexerat obliquo plaustrum temone Bootes: 10.448. ad facinus venit illa suum.

Myrrha fugit, tenebrisque et caecae munere noctis 10.477. intercepta neci est: latosque vagata per agros 10.478. palmiferos Arabas Panchaeaque rura reliquit; 10.479. perque novem erravit redeuntis cornua lunae, 10.480. cum tandem terra requievit fessa Sabaea; 10.481. vixque uteri portabat onus. Tum nescia voti 10.482. atque inter mortisque metus et taedia vitae 10.483. est tales complexa preces: “O siqua patetis 10.484. numina confessis, merui nec triste recuso 10.485. supplicium. Sed ne violem vivosque superstes 10.486. mortuaque exstinctos, ambobus pellite regnis 10.487. mutataeque mihi vitamque necemque negate.” 10.488.

But that the rulers aforesaid are not independent and absolute, but are the viceroys of one supreme Being, the Father of all, in imitation of whom they administer with propriety and success the charge committed to their care, as he also presides over all created things in strict accordance with justice and with law. Others, on the contrary, who have not discovered the supreme Governor, who thus rules everything, have attributed the causes of the different things which exist in the world to the subordinate powers, as if they had brought them to pass by their own independent act. 1.186. When the third season takes place in the seventh month at the autumnal equinox, at the beginning of the month, the feast which begins the sacred month named "the feast of trumpets" and which was discussed earlier is celebrated. On the tenth day the fast takes place which they take seriously--not only those who are zealous about piety and holiness, but even those who do nothing religious the rest of the time. For all are astounded, overcome with the sacredness of it; in fact, at that time the worse compete with the better in selfcontrol and virtue. 2.188. Immediately after comes the festival of the sacred moon; in which it is the custom to play the trumpet in the temple at the same moment that the sacrifices are offered. From which practice this is called the true feast of trumpets, and there are two reasons for it, one peculiar to the nation, and the other common to all mankind. Peculiar to the nation, as being a commemoration of that most marvellous, wonderful, and miraculous event that took place when the holy oracles of the law were given; 2.189. for then the voice of a trumpet sounded from heaven, which it is natural to suppose reached to the very extremities of the universe, so that so wondrous a sound attracted all who were present, making them consider, as it is probable, that such mighty events were signs betokening some great things to be accomplished. 2.190. And what more great or more beneficial thing could come to men than laws affecting the whole race? And what was common to all mankind was this: the trumpet is the instrument of war, sounding both when commanding the charge and the retreat. ... There is also another kind of war, ordained of God, when nature is at variance with itself, its different parts attacking one another. 2.191. And by both these kinds of war the things on earth are injured. They are injured by the enemies, by the cutting down of trees, and by conflagrations; and also by natural injuries, such as droughts, heavy rains, lightning from heaven, snow and cold; the usual harmony of the seasons of the year being transformed into a want of all concord. 2.192. On this account it is that the law has given this festival the name of a warlike instrument, in order to show the proper gratitude to God as the giver of peace, who has abolished all seditions in cities, and in all parts of the universe, and has produced plenty and prosperity, not allowing a single spark that could tend to the destruction of the crops to be kindled into flame.THE NINTH FESTIVALXXXII. 2.200. The day of the fast is always celebrated on the tenth day of the month by order of the law. Why is it on the tenth? As we have specified in our treatments of it, {30}{this is probably a reference to the tractate Concerning Numbers mentioned in QG 4.110 and Mos. 2.115.} it is named complete perfection by wise Men{31}{panteleia is a Pythagorean name for the number ten.} and encompasses all the proportions, the arithmetical and the harmonic and the geometric, and in addition the harmonies: the 4:3 ratio through four notes, the 3:2 ratio through five notes, the 2:1 ratio through the octave, the 4:1 ratio through the double octave, and it also has the 9:8 ratio so that it is the most perfect summation of musical theories. From this fact it is named complete Perfection.{32}{the text literally says: "the 11/3 through four, the 11/2 through five, the doubled through the octave, the quadrupled through the double octave, and it also has the 11/8 ratio ..." Philo has a fuller statement in Opif. 48. In each instance he is following the Pythagoreans who applied number theory to music. For similar treatments see Plutarch, Moralia 1139D (Mus. 23 |

Yet did not he touch that money, nor any thing else that was there reposited; but he commanded the ministers about the temple, the very next day after he had taken it, to cleanse it, and to perform their accustomed sacrifices. Moreover, he made Hyrcanus high priest, as one that not only in other respects had showed great alacrity, on his side, during the siege, but as he had been the means of hindering the multitude that was in the country from fighting for Aristobulus, which they were otherwise very ready to have done; by which means he acted the part of a good general, and reconciled the people to him more by benevolence than by terror. 1.394. After this, Caesar went for Egypt through Syria, when Herod received him with royal and rich entertainments; and then did he first of all ride along with Caesar, as he was reviewing his army about Ptolemais, and feasted him with all his friends, and then distributed among the rest of the army what was necessary to feast them withal. 1.395. He also made a plentiful provision of water for them, when they were to march as far as Pelusium, through a dry country, which he did also in like manner at their return thence; nor were there any necessaries wanting to that army. It was therefore the opinion, both of Caesar and of his soldiers, that Herod’s kingdom was too small for those generous presents he made them; 2.10. And, indeed, at the feast of unleavened bread, which was now at hand, and is by the Jews called the Passover, and used to be celebrated with a great number of sacrifices, an innumerable multitude of the people came out of the country to worship; some of these stood in the temple bewailing the Rabbins [that had been put to death], and procured their sustece by begging, in order to support their sedition. 2.129. After this every one of them are sent away by their curators, to exercise some of those arts wherein they are skilled, in which they labor with great diligence till the fifth hour. After which they assemble themselves together again into one place; and when they have clothed themselves in white veils, they then bathe their bodies in cold water. And after this purification is over, they every one meet together in an apartment of their own, into which it is not permitted to any of another sect to enter; while they go, after a pure manner, into the dining-room, as into a certain holy temple, 3.52. The city Jerusalem is situated in the very middle; on which account some have, with sagacity enough, called that city the Navel of the country. 6.423. So these high priests, upon the coming of that feast which is called the Passover, when they slay their sacrifices, from the ninth hour till the eleventh, but so that a company not less than ten belong to every sacrifice (for it is not lawful for them to feast singly by themselves), and many of us are twenty in a company, 6.424. found the number of sacrifices was two hundred and fifty-six thousand five hundred; |

They said about Rabbi Hanina ben Dosa that he used to pray for the sick and say, “This one will die, this one will live.” They said to him: “How do you know?” He replied: “If my prayer comes out fluently, I know that he is accepted, but if not, then I know that he is rejected.”", |

"Rabbi Yose bar Judah says: “Initially a slayer is sent in advance to [one of] the cities of refuge, whether he had slain in error or with intent and then the court sends and brings him out. Whoever was found guilty of a capital crime the court had executed, and whoever was found not guilty of a capital crime they acquitted. Whoever was found liable to banishment they restored to his place [of refuge] as it says, “And the congregation shall restore him to the city of refuge to which he fled” (Numbers 35:25). All the same are [the deaths of] the high priest who had been anointed with the anointing oil; or had worn many garments, or had retired from his office all make possible the return of the manslayer. Rabbi Judah says also the [death of the] priest who had been anointed for war makes possible the return of the manslayer. Therefore, mothers of high priests would provide food and clothing for them [who had been exiled] that they might not pray for their son’s death. If the high priest died at the conclusion of the trial, the slayer does not go into banishment. If he died before the trial was concluded and another high priest was appointed in his stead and the trial was then concluded, the slayer returns [home from refuge only] after the latter’s death.", |

The law requires, that out of the public expenses a lamb of the first year be killed every day, at the beginning and at the ending of the day; but on the seventh day, which is called the Sabbath, they kill two, and sacrifice them in the same manner. 4.209. 12. When the multitude are assembled together unto the holy city for sacrificing every seventh year, at the feast of tabernacles, let the high priest stand upon a high desk, whence he may be heard, and let him read the laws to all the people; and let neither the women nor the children be hindered from hearing, no, nor the servants neither; 4.210. for it is a good thing that those laws should be engraven in their souls, and preserved in their memories, that so it may not be possible to blot them out; for by this means they will not be guilty of sin, when they cannot plead ignorance of what the laws have enjoined them. The laws also will have a greater authority among them, as foretelling what they will suffer if they break them; and imprinting in their souls by this hearing what they command them to do, 4.211. that so there may always be within their minds that intention of the laws which they have despised and broken, and have thereby been the causes of their own mischief. Let the children also learn the laws, as the first thing they are taught, which will be the best thing they can be taught, and will be the cause of their future felicity. 11.75. 1. Now in the seventh month after they were departed out of Babylon, both Jeshua the high priest, and Zorobabel the governor, sent messengers every way round about, and gathered those that were in the country together to Jerusalem universally, who came very gladly thither. 11.76. He then built the altar on the same place it had formerly been built, that they might offer the appointed sacrifices upon it to God, according to the laws of Moses. But while they did this, they did not please the neighboring nations, who all of them bare an ill-will to them. 11.77. They also celebrated the feast of tabernacles at that time, as the legislator had ordained concerning it; and after they offered sacrifices, and what were called the daily sacrifices, and the oblations proper for the Sabbaths, and for all the holy festivals. Those also that had made vows performed them, and offered their sacrifices from the first day of the seventh month. 11.78. They also began to build the temple, and gave a great deal of money to the masons and to the carpenters, and what was necessary for the maintece of the workmen. The Sidonians also were very willing and ready to bring the cedar trees from Libanus, to bind them together, and to make a united float of them, and to bring them to the port of Joppa, for that was what Cyrus had commanded at first, and what was now done at the command of Darius. 11.154. 5. Now when they kept the feast of tabernacles in the seventh month and almost all the people were come together to it, they went up to the open part of the temple, to the gate which looked eastward, and desired of Esdras that the laws of Moses might be read to them. 11.155. Accordingly, he stood in the midst of the multitude and read them; and this he did from morning to noon. Now, by hearing the laws read to them, they were instructed to be righteous men for the present and for the future; but as for their past offenses, they were displeased at themselves, and proceeded to shed tears on their account, as considering with themselves that if they had kept the law, they had endured none of these miseries which they had experienced. 11.156. But when Esdras saw them in that disposition, he bade them go home, and not weep, for that it was a festival, and that they ought not to weep thereon, for that it was not lawful so to do. He exhorted them rather to proceed immediately to feasting, and to do what was suitable to a feast, and what was agreeable to a day of joy; but to let their repentance and sorrow for their former sins be a security and a guard to them, that they fell no more into the like offenses. 11.157. So upon Esdras’s exhortation they began to feast; and when they had so done for eight days, in their tabernacles, they departed to their own homes, singing hymns to God, and returning thanks to Esdras for his reformation of what corruptions had been introduced into their settlement. 11.158. So it came to pass, that after he had obtained this reputation among the people, he died an old man, and was buried in a magnificent manner at Jerusalem. About the same time it happened also that Joacim, the high priest, died; and his son Eliasib succeeded in the high priesthood. 14.257. Since we have ever a great regard to piety towards God, and to holiness; and since we aim to follow the people of the Romans, who are the benefactors of all men, and what they have written to us about a league of friendship and mutual assistance between the Jews and our city, and that their sacred offices and accustomed festivals and assemblies may be observed by them; 14.258. we have decreed, that as many men and women of the Jews as are willing so to do, may celebrate their Sabbaths, and perform their holy offices, according to the Jewish laws; and may make their proseuchae at the sea-side, according to the customs of their forefathers; and if any one, whether he be a magistrate or private person, hindereth them from so doing, he shall be liable to a fine, to be applied to the uses of the city.” 14.259. 24. The decree of the Sardians. “This decree was made by the senate and people, upon the representation of the praetors: Whereas those Jews who are fellowcitizens, and live with us in this city, have ever had great benefits heaped upon them by the people, and have come now into the senate, 15.194. 7. By this speech, and by his behavior, which showed Caesar the frankness of his mind, he greatly gained upon him, who was himself of a generous and magnificent temper, insomuch that those very actions, which were the foundation of the accusation against him, procured him Caesar’s good-will. 15.195. Accordingly, he restored him his diadem again; and encouraged him to exhibit himself as great a friend to himself as he had been to Antony, and then had him in great esteem. Moreover, he added this, that Quintus Didius had written to him that Herod had very readily assisted him in the affair of the gladiators. 15.196. So when he had obtained such a kind reception, and had, beyond all his hopes, procured his crown to be more entirely and firmly settled upon him than ever by Caesar’s donation, as well as by that decree of the Romans, which Caesar took care to procure for his greater security, he conducted Caesar on his way to Egypt, and made presents, even beyond his ability, to both him and his friends, and in general behaved himself with great magimity. 15.197. He also desired that Caesar would not put to death one Alexander, who had been a companion of Antony; but Caesar had sworn to put him to death, and so he could not obtain that his petition. 15.198. And now he returned to Judea again with greater honor and assurance than ever, and affrighted those that had expectations to the contrary, as still acquiring from his very dangers greater splendor than before, by the favor of God to him. So he prepared for the reception of Caesar, as he was going out of Syria to invade Egypt; 15.199. and when he came, he entertained him at Ptolemais with all royal magnificence. He also bestowed presents on the army, and brought them provisions in abundance. He also proved to be one of Caesar’s most cordial friends, and put the army in array, and rode along with Caesar, and had a hundred and fifty men, well appointed in all respects, after a rich and sumptuous manner, for the better reception of him and his friends. 15.200. He also provided them with what they should want, as they passed over the dry desert, insomuch that they lacked neither wine nor water, which last the soldiers stood in the greatest need of; and besides, he presented Caesar with eight hundred talents, and procured to himself the good-will of them all, because he was assisting to them in a much greater and more splendid degree than the kingdom he had obtained could afford; 15.201. by which means he more and more demonstrated to Caesar the firmness of his friendship, and his readiness to assist him; and what was of the greatest advantage to him was this, that his liberality came at a seasonable time also. And when they returned again out of Egypt, his assistances were no way inferior to the good offices he had formerly done them. |

"Cases concerning offenses punishable by death [are decided] by twenty three. A beast that has sexual relations with a woman or with a man is [judged] by twenty three, as it says, “You shall execute the woman and the beast” (Lev. 20:16) and it says, “You shall execute the beast”. The ox that is stoned [is judged] by twenty three., as it says, “The ox shall be stoned and also its owner shall be put to death” (Exodus 21:29), as is the death of the owner, so too is the death of the ox. The wolf, the lion, the bear, the leopard, the panther, or serpent [that have killed a human being] their death is [adjudicated] by twenty three. Rabbi Eliezer says: “Anyone who kills them before they come to court merits.” But Rabbi Akiva says: “Their death must be [adjudicated] by twenty three.", 4.5. "How did they admonish witnesses in capital cases? They brought them in and admonished them, [saying], “Perhaps you will say something that is only a supposition or hearsay or secondhand, or even from a trustworthy man. Or perhaps you do not know that we shall check you with examination and inquiry? Know, moreover, that capital cases are not like non-capital cases: in non-capital cases a man may pay money and so make atonement, but in capital cases the witness is answerable for the blood of him [that is wrongfully condemned] and the blood of his descendants [that should have been born to him] to the end of the world.” For so have we found it with Cain that murdered his brother, for it says, “The bloods of your brother cry out” (Gen. 4:10). It doesn’t say, “The blood of your brother”, but rather “The bloods of your brother” meaning his blood and the blood of his descendants. Another saying is, “The bloods of your brother” that his blood was cast over trees and stones. Therefore but a single person was created in the world, to teach that if any man has caused a single life to perish from Israel, he is deemed by Scripture as if he had caused a whole world to perish; and anyone who saves a single soul from Israel, he is deemed by Scripture as if he had saved a whole world. Again [but a single person was created] for the sake of peace among humankind, that one should not say to another, “My father was greater than your father”. Again, [but a single person was created] against the heretics so they should not say, “There are many ruling powers in heaven”. Again [but a single person was created] to proclaim the greatness of the Holy Blessed One; for humans stamp many coins with one seal and they are all like one another; but the King of kings, the Holy Blessed One, has stamped every human with the seal of the first man, yet not one of them are like another. Therefore everyone must say, “For my sake was the world created.” And if perhaps you [witnesses] would say, “Why should we be involved with this trouble”, was it not said, “He, being a witness, whether he has seen or known, [if he does not speak it, then he shall bear his iniquity] (Lev. 5:1). And if perhaps you [witnesses] would say, “Why should we be guilty of the blood of this man?, was it not said, “When the wicked perish there is rejoicing” (Proverbs 11:10).]", 11.4. "He [the rebellious elder] was executed neither by his local court nor by the court at Yavneh, but rather was taken to the great court in Jerusalem and kept there until the [next] festival and executed on the festival, for it says, “And all the people shall hear and fear, and do no more presumptuously” (Deut. 17:13), according to the words of Rabbi Akiba. Rabbi Judah says: “His judgment must not be delayed, but he is executed immediately, and proclamations are written and sent by messengers to all places, “So and so has been sentenced to death at the court.”", |

"What are the things that belong to those that came up from Babylonia [to Jerusalem]? For example the Temple Mount and the Temple courtyards and the well in the middle of the road. What are the things that belong to that town? For example the public square, the bath-house, the synagogue, the ark, and the [sacred] scrolls. And he should assign his portion to the Patriarch. Rabbi Judah says: it is the same whether he assigns it to the Patriarch or to a private individual. But what is the difference between one who assigns it to the Patriarch and one who assigns it to a private individual? If he assigns it to the Patriarch, he need not [formally] confer title. But the Sages say: both this and this require formal conferring of title, they mentioned the Patriarch in particular as this is usual. Rabbi Judah said: The Galileans need not assign [their portion], because their ancestors have already done so for them.", |

"Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that doesn't bring forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire. 7.17.

"Shaving on account of defilement: How was it done? He would sprinkle [with purification water] on the third and seventh days, shave on the seventh day and bring his sacrifices on the eighth day. If he shaved on the eighth day, he would bring his sacrifices on that same day, the words of Rabbi Akiva. Rabbi Tarfon said to him: what difference is there between this one and a person with scale disease? He said to him: the purification of this one depends on his days, whereas the purification of one with scale disease depends on his shaving, and he cannot bring a sacrifice unless the sun has set upon him [after his purification].", 6.7. "Shaving in a case of purity: How was it done?He would bring three animals, a sin-offering, a burnt-offering, and a well-being offering, slaughter the peace-offering and shave thereafter, the words of Rabbi Judah. Rabbi Elazar says: he shaves after the sin-offering, for in all cases [the sacrifice of] the sin-offering takes precedence. But if he shaved after [the slaughter] of any one of the three he has fulfilled his obligation.", 6.8. "Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel says: if he brought three animals without specifying [what they were for], the one suitable for a sin offering is sacrificed as a sin offering, for a burnt offering as a burnt offering, and for a well-being offering as a well-being offering. He would then take the hair of his nazirite head and threw it under the cauldron. If he shaved in the province he [also] would throw it under the cauldron. With regard to what was this said? With regard to shaving in ritual purity, whereas in shaving [after] ritual defilement he does not throw it under the cauldron. Rabbi Meir says: all [nazirites] throw it under the cauldron, except for the defiled nazirite [who shaved] in the provinces.", 6.9. "He would then boil or completely boil the peace-offering. The priest then took the boiled shoulder of the ram, an unleavened cake from the basket, and an unleavened wafer, placed them on the nazirite’s hands and waved them. After this, the nazirite was allowed to drink wine and defile himself for the dead. Rabbi Shimon says: as soon as one kind of blood had been sprinkled on his behalf the nazirite could drink wine and defile himself for the dead.", |

And these were not the only ones [who could go two thousand cubits in any direction], but also a midwife who has come to deliver a child, or one who comes to rescue from a fire or from bandits or from a river in flood or from a building that has fallen in all these are like residents of the town, and may go two thousand cubits [on Shabbat] in any direction.", 2.8.

When they came to Yavneh Rabban Gamaliel accepted them. On another occasion two witnesses came and said, “We saw it at its proper time, but on the night which should have been the new moon it was not seen,” and Rabban Gamaliel accepted their evidence. Rabbi Dosa ben Harkinas said: they are lying witnesses. How can they testify that a woman has given birth when on the next day her belly is between her teeth (swollen)? Rabbi Joshua to him: I see your argument.", 2.9. "Rabban Gamaliel sent to him: I order you to appear before me with your staff and your money on the day which according to your count should be Yom Hakippurim. Rabbi Akiva went and found him in distress. He said to him: I can teach that whatever Rabban Gamaliel has done is valid, because it says, “These are the appointed seasons of the Lord, holy convocations, which you shall proclaim at their appointed times” (Leviticus 23:4), whether they are [proclaimed] at their proper time or not at their proper time, I have no other appointed times save these. He [Rabbi Joshua] then went to Rabbi Dosa ben Harkinas. He said to him: if we call in question the court of Rabban Gamaliel we must call in question the decisions of every court which has existed since the days of Moses until now. As it says, “Then Moses and Aaron, Nadav and Avihu and seventy of the elders of Israel went up” (Exodus 24:9). Why were the names of the elders not mentioned? To teach that every group of three which has acted as a court over Israel, behold it is like the court of Moses. He [Rabbi Joshua] took his staff and his money and went to Yavneh to Rabban Gamaliel on the day which according to his count should be Yom Hakippurim. Rabban Gamaliel rose and kissed him on his head and said to him: Come in peace, my teacher and my student my teacher in wisdom and my student because you have accepted my decision.", |

Even Moses, who had interrogated Him on that very point, had heard a different name. Exodus 3:13-16 To us it has been revealed in the Son, for the Son is now the Father's new name. I have come, says He, in the Father's name; John 5:43 and again, Father, glorify Your name; John 12:28 and more openly, I have manifested Your name to men. John 17:6 That name, therefore, we pray may be hallowed. Not that it is becoming for men to wish God well, as if there were any other by whom He may be wished well, or as if He would suffer unless we do so wish. Plainly, it is universally becoming for God to be blessed in every place and time, on account of the memory of His benefits ever due from every man. But this petition also serves the turn of a blessing. Otherwise, when is the name of God not holy, and hallowed through Himself, seeing that of Himself He sanctifies all others - He to whom that surrounding circle of angels cease not to say, Holy, holy, holy? In like wise, therefore, we too, candidates for angelhood, if we succeed in deserving it, begin even here on earth to learn by heart that strain hereafter to be raised unto God, and the function of future glory. So far, for the glory of God. On the other hand, for our own petition, when we say, Hallowed be Your name, we pray this; that it may be hallowed in us who are in Him, as well in all others for whom the grace of God is still waiting; Isaiah 30:18 that we may obey this precept, too, in praying for all, 1 Timothy 2:1 even for our personal enemies. Matthew 5:44 And therefore with suspended utterance, not saying, Hallowed be it in us, we say - in all. |

"Another explanation: \"The fruit of a beautiful tree ( i ets hadar /i )\" - this is [referring to] the Holy One, blessed be He, as it is written about Him (Psalms 104:1), \"You were dressed in splendor and beauty ( i hadar /i ).\" \"The branches of a date palm\" - this is [referring to] the Holy One, blessed be He, as it is written about Him (Psalms 92:13), \"The righteous One flourishes like a date palm.\" \"And a branch of a braided tree (a myrtle)\" - this is [referring to] the Holy One, blessed be He, as it is written (Zechariah 1:8), \"and He is standing among the myrtles.\" \"And brook willows ( i arvei nachal /i )\" - this is [referring to] the Holy One, blessed be He, as it is written about Him (Psalms 68:5), \"praise the One that rides in the skies ( i aravot /i ), with His name of the Lord.\"", 30.12. "Another explanation: \"The fruit of a beautiful tree\" - these are [referring to] Israel. Just like this citron (etrog), which has taste and has smell, so too Israel has among them people that have Torah and have good deeds. \"The branches of a date palm\" - these are [referring to] Israel. Just like this date, which has taste and has no smell, so too Israel has among them those that have Torah but do not have good deeds. \"And a branch of a braided tree (a myrtle)\" - these are [referring to] Israel. Just like this myrtle, which has smell and has no taste, so too Israel has among them those that have good deeds but do not have Torah. \"And brook willows\" - these are [referring to] Israel. Just like this willow, which has no smell and has no taste, so too Israel has among them people that have no Torah and have no good deeds. And what does the Holy One, blessed be He, do to them? To destroy them is impossible, but rather the Holy One, blessed be He, said \"bind them all together [into] one grouping and these will atone for those.\" And if you will have done that, I will be elevated at that time. This is [the meaning of] what is written (Amos 9:6), \"He Who built the upper chambers in the heavens\" (indicating his elevation). And when is He elevated? When they make one grouping, as it is stated (Ibid.), \"and established His grouping on the earth.\" Hence Moshe warned Israel, \"And you shall take for yourselves on the first day.\"", 30.14. "Rabbi Mani opened, \"'All of my bones shall say, \"Lord, who is like you\"' (Psalms 35:10). This verse was only stated for the sake of the lulav (the four species). The spine of the palm branch is similar to the spine of man. And the myrtle is similar to the eye. And the willow is similar to the mouth. And the etrog (citron), is similar to the heart. David said, 'In all of the limbs, there are no greater ones than these, as they are compared to the entire body.' This is [what is meant] by 'All of my bones shall say.'\"", |

"\"And Avraham called the name of the place \"Ad-nai Yireh\" [Ad-nai will see] (Gen. 22:14). Rabbi Yocha said \"he said to Him: 'Master of Worlds, at the hour that you said to me \"Take please your son, your only son\" (Gen. 22:2), I had what to respond. Yesterday You said \"For through Itzchak [will I make your line great]\" (Gen. 21:22) but now \"Take please your son\"!? And God forbid that I don't do as you've asked me; instead, I conquered my mercy to do Your will. May it be your will, Ad-nai our God, that in the hour when the sons of Itzchak come to do transgressions and bad deeds, that this very Binding [Akeidah] be remembered for them, and may You be filled with Mercy on them!' Avraham called it \"Yireh\", as it says \"and Avraham called the name of the place Ad-nai Yireh.\" Shem called it Shalem, as it says \"And Malchitzedek, the king of Shalem...\"(Genesis 14:18) The Holy One of Blessing said \"If I call it Yireh, as Avraham called it, then Shem, who was a righteous man, will become angry; and if I call it Shalem, Abraham, who was a righteous man, will be angry. Instead, I call it Yerushalayim [Jerusalem], as they called it together: Yireh Shalem. Jerusalem. Rabbi Berechiah said in Rabbi Helbo’s name: While it was Shalem, the Holy One of Blessing made for Godself a sukkah [booth] and prayed in it, since it says \"In Shalem is set His tabernacle, and His dwelling-place in Tzion\" (Psalms 76:3). And what did He say? ‘May it happen that I see the building of My house.\" Another interpretation: It [this verse] teaches that the Holy One of Blessing showed him the Temple destroyed and built, destroyed and build [a second time], since it says: \"the name of that place Ad-nai Yireh\" (Ad-nai sees): this is it built, as you say [the verse] \"Three times in a year shall all your males be seen [yira'eh] (Deut. 16:16). \"As it is said to this day in the Mountain of Ad-nai [is seen, Heb. yira'eh]\" (Gen.22:14) This is it destroyed, as in the verse \"on the mountain of Tzion, which is desolate\" (Lam. 5:18). \"Ad-nai is seen\" this is it built and perfected in the future to come as the topic [in the verse] that is said: \"When Ad-nai built Tzion, He will be seen in His glory\" (Psalms 102:17).", |

The Gemara asks: b Which grain /b is judged on Passover? b If we say /b it is b the grain that is /b presently b standing /b in the fields ready to be reaped between Passover and i Shavuot /i , b when was judgment passed with regard to all those events [ i harpatkei /i ] /b that already happened to the grain while it was growing in the winter? b Rather, /b the mishna must be referring to the b grain that will be sown /b over the coming year.,The Gemara asks further: b Is this to say that /b only b one judgment is passed /b concerning a particular crop, and no more? b But isn’t it taught /b in a i baraita /i : If b grain suffers an incident or accident before Passover, it was judged in the past, /b the previous Passover; if this occurs b after Passover, it was judged /b this Passover b for the future. /b And similarly, if b a person suffered an incident or accident before Yom Kippur, he was judged in the past, /b the previous Rosh HaShana; if this occurred b after Yom Kippur, he was judged /b this Rosh HaShana b for the future. /b , b Rava said: Learn from here /b that b two judgments are passed /b concerning each crop, one covering the period between the time it is sown and Passover and another covering the period between Passover and the time it is harvested. b Abaye said: Therefore, if a person sees that /b his b slow-growing crops, /b those that are sown at the beginning of the winter but ripen only in the spring or summer, b are doing well, he should quickly sow fast-growing crops, /b such as barley, which can be sown at the end of the winter and still ripen before Passover, b as before it is brought to judgment /b on the next Passover b it will already have /b successfully b grown, /b since he knows that this year’s crops were judged for a favorable yield.,The Gemara raises a question about the mishna: b Whose /b opinion is expressed in b the mishna? /b It is b not /b in accordance with the opinion of b Rabbi Meir, and not /b in accordance with the opinion of b Rabbi Yehuda, and not /b in accordance with the opinion of b Rabbi Yosei, and not /b in accordance with the opinion of b Rabbi Natan. /b ,The Gemara explains: b As it is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b All are judged on Rosh HaShana, and their sentence is sealed on Yom Kippur; /b this is b the statement of Rabbi Meir. Rabbi Yehuda says: All are judged on Rosh HaShana, and their sentence is sealed each in its /b own b time: On Passover /b the sentence is sealed b concerning grain; on i Shavuot /i concerning fruits /b that grow on b a tree; on the festival /b of i Sukkot /i b they are judged concerning water; and mankind is judged on Rosh HaShana, and the sentence is sealed on Yom Kippur. /b , b Rabbi Yosei says: A person is judged every day, /b and not just once a year, b as it is stated: “You visit him every morning” /b (Job 7:18), meaning that every morning an accounting is made and a judgment is passed. b Rabbi Natan says: A person is judged every hour, as it is stated: “You try him every moment” /b (Job 7:18)., b And lest you say /b that b actually, /b the mishna b is /b taught in accordance with the opinion of b Rabbi Yehuda, and when the mishna is taught, /b it is taught with regard to b the sentence, /b and not the judgments, which are all passed on Rosh HaShana, b if so, /b it is b difficult /b with regard to b mankind, /b as the mishna should have stated that the sentence is sealed on Yom Kippur., b Rava said: The i tanna /i /b of the mishna b is /b a i tanna /i b from the school of Rabbi Yishmael, as /b a i tanna /i b from the school of Rabbi Yishmael taught: At four times /b of the year b the world is judged: On Passover concerning grain; on i Shavuot /i concerning fruits /b that grow on b a tree; on the festival /b of i Sukkot /i b they are judged concerning water; and mankind is judged on Rosh HaShana and the sentence is sealed on Yom Kippur. And when the mishna is taught, /b it is taught with regard to b the beginning of the judgment /b process, i.e., the judgment of mankind is initially passed on Rosh HaShana., b Rav Ḥisda said: What is the reason for /b the opinion of b Rabbi Yosei? /b The Gemara is astonished by this question: Why ask about his reason? b He stated his reason, /b the verse that states: b “You visit him every morning.” /b The Gemara explains: b This is what we are saying: /b If Rabbi Yosei relies on this verse, b what is the reason that he did not state /b his opinion b in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Natan /b that a person is judged every hour? And if you say that he holds that the verse “You try him every moment” cannot serve as proof, because b trying merely /b indicates b examination /b and not actual judgment, then in the same way b visiting merely /b indicates b examination. /b If so, there is no clear proof from this verse., b Rather, Rav Ḥisda said: Rabbi Yosei’s reason is from here, /b another verse, which states: b “To make the judgment of His servant and the judgment of His people Israel at all times, as each day may require” /b (I Kings 8:59), which indicates that the entire world is judged every day.,§ About this verse b Rav Ḥisda said: /b When b a king and a community /b are brought before God for judgment, b the king is brought in for judgment first, as it is stated: “To make the judgment of His servant,” /b and afterward: b “And the judgment of His people Israel.” What is the reason /b for this? b If you wish, say /b that it is b not proper conduct for the king to stand outside /b and wait for the trial of his subjects to come to an end. And b if you wish, say /b instead that the king is brought in first so that he may be judged b before /b God’s b anger intensifies /b due to the sins of the community, and consequently he may be saved from overly harsh judgment., b Rav Yosef said: In accordance with whose /b opinion b do we pray nowadays /b on a daily basis b for the sick and afflicted? /b The Gemara repeats the question: b In accordance with whose /b opinion? It is b in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Yosei, /b who holds that one is judged every day, and so there is reason to pray every day in order to affect the outcome of his judgment. b And if you wish, say /b that b actually, /b normative practice is even b in accordance with /b the opinion of b the Rabbis, /b who hold that one is judged only once a year, but b also in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Yitzḥak. As Rabbi Yitzḥak said: Crying /b out to God b is beneficial for a person both before /b his b sentence /b has been issued b and after /b his b sentence /b has been issued.,§ b It is taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi Yehuda said in the name of Rabbi Akiva: For what /b reason did b the Torah say: Bring the i omer /i /b offering b on /b the second day of b Passover? /b It is b because Passover is the time of grain, /b the beginning of the grain harvest season, and therefore b the Holy One, Blessed be He, said: Bring the i omer /i /b offering b before Me on Passover so that the grain in the fields will be blessed for you. And for what /b reason did b the Torah say: Bring /b the offering of b the two loaves /b from the new wheat b on i Shavuot /i ? /b It is b because i Shavuot /i is the time of /b the b fruits /b that grow on b a tree, /b when it begins to ripen, and therefore b the Holy One, Blessed be He, said: Bring /b the offering of b the two loaves before Me on i Shavuot /i so that the fruits /b that grow on b a tree will be blessed for you. /b , b And for what /b reason did b the Torah say: Pour water /b onto the altar in the Temple b on the festival /b of i Sukkot /i ? b The Holy One, Blessed be He, said: Pour water before Me on the festival /b of i Sukkot /i b so that the rains of the year, /b which begin to fall after i Sukkot /i , b will be blessed for you. And recite before Me on Rosh HaShana /b verses that mention b Kingships, Remembrances, and i Shofarot /i : Kingships so that you will crown Me as King over you; Remembrances so that your remembrance will rise before Me for good; and with what /b will the remembrance rise? It will rise b with the i shofar /i . /b ,Similarly, b Rabbi Abbahu said: Why does one sound /b a blast b with a i shofar /i /b made b from a ram’s /b horn on Rosh HaShana? b The Holy One, Blessed be He, said: Sound /b a blast b before Me with a i shofar /i /b made b from a ram’s /b horn, b so that I will remember for you the binding of Isaac, son of Abraham, /b in whose stead a ram was sacrificed, b and I will ascribe it to you as if you had bound yourselves before Me. /b , b Rabbi Yitzḥak said: Why does one sound /b [ b i tokin /i /b ] a blast b on Rosh HaShana? /b The Gemara is astonished by the question: b Why do we sound /b a blast? b The Merciful One states /b in the verse: b “Sound [ i tiku /i ] /b a i shofar /i ” (Psalms 81:4). b Rather, /b the question is: b Why does one sound /b a staccato series of i shofar /i b blasts [ i terua /i ] /b in addition to a long continuous i shofar /i blast [ i tekia /i ]? The Gemara is still surprised by the question: b Sound a i terua /i ? The Merciful One states: /b “In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest unto you, b a memorial proclaimed with the blast of horns [ i terua /i ]” /b (Leviticus 23:24). b Rather, /b Rabbi Yitzḥak asked about the common practice in Jewish communities, which is not explicitly stated in the Torah: b Why does one sound /b a long, continuous i shofar /i b blast [ i tekia /i ] and /b then a staccato series of i shofar /i b blasts [ i terua /i ] /b while the congregation is still b sitting /b before the silent prayer, |

If they are masters of the Mishna, let them engage in /b the study of b the Mishna, in /b the study of b i halakha /i , and in /b the study of b i aggada /i .

Rabbi Yoḥa says: And /b that is the case only b where he spits into /b the wound while he whispers, b as one does not mention the name of Heaven over spittle, /b and doing so is an act of contempt for God. b It was stated /b that b Rav says: Even /b the verse: “When b a leprous mark /b is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest” (Leviticus 13:9), in which there is no mention of the name of God, may not be whispered as an invocation. b Rabbi Ḥanina says: Even /b a verse that is unrelated to the specific illness in question, for example: b “And He called to Moses” /b (Leviticus 1:1), may not be whispered as an invocation., b The Sages taught /b in a i baraita /i : b One may smear oil /b on b and rub /b the b intestinal /b area b on Shabbat /b to ease pain, and it is not prohibited as a form of healing. b One may whisper incantations of snakes and scorpions on Shabbat /b to ease the pain of their bite. b And one may pass /b a cool b vessel upon /b an infected b eye on Shabbat, /b to soothe the inflammation. b Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: In what /b case b are these matters stated? /b They are stated b in /b the case of b a vessel that /b may b be moved /b on Shabbat. b But /b with regard to b a vessel that /b may b not be moved, /b it is b prohibited /b to pass it upon the infected eye on Shabbat. b And one may not consult the words of demons on Shabbat. Rabbi Yosei says: Even during the week /b it is b prohibited /b to consult demons., b Rav Huna said: /b The b i halakha /i /b is b in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Yosei. /b The Gemara notes: b And even Rabbi Yosei did not say /b that it is due to the Torah prohibition of witchcraft that it is prohibited during the week; b rather, /b it is prohibited b due to danger, /b lest the demons harm him. This could happen, b as /b in b that /b incident b concerning Rav Yitzḥak bar Yosef, who /b consulted a demon and as a result b was swallowed into a cedar /b tree, b and a miracle was performed for him and the cedar split and expelled him. /b , b The Sages taught /b in a i baraita /i : b One may smear oil /b on b and rub /b the b intestinal /b area b on Shabbat, /b and it is not a forbidden form of healing, b provided that he does not do /b so b in the manner in which he does during the week. /b The Gemara asks: b How /b then b does one do /b so on Shabbat? b Rabbi Ḥama, son of Rabbi Ḥanina, says: One /b first b smears oil and afterward rubs /b the body. And b Rabbi Yoḥa says: One smears oil and rubs /b the body b simultaneously. /b , b The Sages taught /b in a i baraita /i : With regard to b demons of oil and demons of eggs, /b i.e., demons consulted by means of oil and eggs, respectively, b it is permitted to consult them; but /b it is futile to do so, b due to /b the fact b that they deceive. One may whisper /b an incantation for healing b over oil that is in a vessel and one may not whisper /b an incantation b over oil that is in /b one’s b hand. Therefore, one may smear oil /b on his body b from oil that /b is brought to him b in /b another’s b hand, /b and there is no concern that perhaps someone whispered over it; b and one may not smear oil that /b is brought to him b in a vessel, /b as perhaps someone whispered over it and it will cause him harm.,The Gemara relates: b Rav Yitzḥak bar Shmuel bar Marta happened /b to come b to a certain inn, /b and b they brought him oil in a vessel. He rubbed it /b on his face, b and boils developed on his face. He went out to the marketplace, and a certain woman saw him /b and b said: I see here the /b evil b spirit /b of b Ḥamat /b on your face. b She performed an action, /b i.e., whispered an incantation, b for him, and he was healed. /b , b Rabbi Abba said to Rabba bar Mari /b that there is an apparent contradiction in a verse. b It is written: “All the disease that I placed in Egypt I shall not place upon you, for I am the Lord, your Healer” /b (Exodus 15:26). b And since /b God b does not place /b the disease upon the Jewish people, b why is healing /b necessary? Rabba bar Mari b said to him /b that b this /b is what b Rabbi Yoḥa says: This verse can be interpreted /b and the contradiction resolved b from /b the contents of the verse b itself, as it is stated: “And He said: If you will diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord, your God” /b (Exodus 15:26). b If you hearken /b to God’s voice, b I will not place /b the disease upon you, b and if you do not hearken /b to God’s voice, b I will place /b the disease upon you. b Nevertheless, /b even if you do not hearken to the voice of God, and I place the disease upon you, know that I will heal you, b “for I am the Lord, your Healer.” /b ,§ b Rabba bar bar Ḥana says: When Rabbi Eliezer fell ill, his students entered to visit him. /b Rabbi Eliezer b said to them: There is intense wrath in the world, /b and it is due to that wrath of the Holy One, Blessed be He, Who is angry at His world, that I am suffering from these afflictions. His students b began to cry /b due to their teacher’s suffering, b and Rabbi Akiva was laughing. They said to him: Why are you laughing? /b Rabbi Akiva b said to them: And for what /b reason b are you crying? They said to him: /b Is it b possible /b that Rabbi Eliezer, who is as much an exemplar of Torah as b a Torah scroll, is afflicted with pain and we will not cry? /b ,Rabbi Akiva b said to them: /b It is b for that /b reason that b I am laughing. As long as I would see /b for b my teacher that neither does his wine ferment /b and spoil, b nor is his flax stricken, nor does his oil spoil, nor does his honey turn rancid, I would say /b to myself: b Perhaps, Heaven forfend, my teacher /b has already b received his world /b in reward for the mitzvot that he fulfilled, and will not receive a reward in the World-to-Come. b But now that I see my teacher /b overcome b with suffering, I am happy. /b He is receiving punishment in this world for the few transgressions that he might have committed, ensuring that he will receive a complete reward in the World-to-Come. Rabbi Eliezer b said to him: Akiva, have I failed /b to fulfill any portion b of the entire Torah? /b Rabbi Akiva b said to him, you taught us, our teacher: “For there is not a righteous man upon earth who does good and sins not” /b (Ecclesiastes 7:20)., b The Sages taught /b in a i baraita /i : b When Rabbi Eliezer fell ill, four Sages entered to visit him: Rabbi Tarfon, and Rabbi Yehoshua, and Rabbi Elazar ben Azarya, and Rabbi Akiva. /b , b Rabbi Tarfon responded /b to the situation with words of encouragement b and said: You are better for the Jewish people than a drop of rain, as a drop of rain /b provides benefit b in this world, and my teacher /b provides them benefit b in this world and in the World-to-Come. /b , b Rabbi Yehoshua responded and said: You are better for the Jewish people than the sphere of the sun, as the sphere of the sun /b provides benefit b in this world, and my teacher /b provides benefit b in this world and in the World-to-Come. /b , b Rabbi Elazar ben Azarya responded and said: You are better for the Jewish people than a father and mother, as a father and mother /b provide benefit b in this world, /b and b my teacher /b provides benefit b in this world and in the World-to-Come. /b , b Rabbi Akiva responded and said: Afflictions are cherished. /b When Rabbi Eliezer heard this b he said to /b his attendants: b Support me /b so I can sit b and hear the statement of Akiva my student, who said: Afflictions are cherished. /b Rabbi Eliezer b said to him: Akiva, from where do you /b derive b this? /b Rabbi Akiva b said: I interpret a verse /b in order to derive it. It is written: b “Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem…And he performed that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord” /b (II Kings 21:1–2). b And it is written: /b |

It was taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi Eliezer says: One grabs the i matzot /i on the nights of Passover. /b One should eat them very quickly b on account of the children, so /b that, due to the hasty consumption of the meal, b they will not sleep /b and they will inquire into the meaning of this unusual practice., b It was taught /b in a i baraita /i : b They said about Rabbi Akiva /b that b in /b all b his days he never said /b to his students that the b time had come to arise /b from their learning b in the study hall. /b Instead, he would continue to teach as long as they were willing to listen. This was true b except for the eves of Passover and the eve of Yom Kippur, /b when he would stop teaching. The Gemara explains the reasons for these exceptions: b On the eve of Passover, /b he would stop b on account of /b the b children, so that /b they would go to sleep during the day, so that b they would not /b be tired and b sleep /b at night. b And /b on b the eve of Yom Kippur, /b he would stop b so that /b his students b would /b remember to b feed their children. /b , b The Sages taught: A man is obligated to gladden his children and the members of his household on a Festival, as it is stated: “And you shall rejoice on your Festival, /b you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow that are within your gates” (Deuteronomy 16:14). b With what /b should b one make them rejoice? With wine. /b , b Rabbi Yehuda says: /b One should enable each member of his household to rejoice with an item that pleases them, b men with what is fit for them and women with what is fit for them. /b Rabbi Yehuda elaborates: b Men with what is fit for them, /b i.e., b with wine. And /b as for the b women, with what /b should one cause them to rejoice? b Rav Yosef teaches: /b One should delight them with new clothes, b in Babylonia with colored clothes /b and b in Eretz Yisrael with /b the b pressed linen clothes /b that are manufactured there., b It was taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi Yehuda ben Beteira says: When the Temple is standing, rejoicing is only through /b the eating of sacrificial b meat, as it is stated: “And you shall sacrifice peace-offerings and you shall eat there and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God” /b (Deuteronomy 27:7). b And now that the Temple is not standing /b and one cannot eat sacrificial meat, he can fulfill the mitzva of b rejoicing /b on a Festival b only by /b drinking b wine, as it is stated: “And wine that gladdens the heart of man” /b (Psalms 104:15)., b Rabbi Yitzḥak said: The vessel /b used for measuring b brine [ i moraysa /i ] that was in Tzippori was the same /b volume b as the i log /i in the Temple, and with it /b the Sages would b measure the quarter /b - i log /i b of Passover. /b They would fill this vessel and then divide the liquid it contained into four equal parts. The result was one quarter- i log /i , which is the minimum measure of wine for the four cups on Passover and for certain other i halakhot /i . b Rabbi Yoḥa said: The old eighth /b measure b that was /b in use b in Tiberias was greater than this /b eighth measure b by /b one b quarter /b - i log /i , b and with it we measure /b the b quarter /b - i log /i b of Passover. /b When the old measure is filled and poured into the newer version, the amount left in the original vessel is one quarter- i log /i ., b Rav Ḥisda said: The quarter /b - i log /i measurement b of the Torah is two fingerbreadths by two fingerbreadths /b in volume, b by the height of two fingerbreadths and one half fingerbreadth and one-fifth of a fingerbreadth. /b This statement is b as it was taught /b in a i baraita /i concerning a ritual bath, about which the verse states: b “And he shall bathe all his flesh in the water” /b (Leviticus 15:16), from which the Sages expounded: This phrase teaches b that there should be nothing interposing between one’s flesh /b and b the water. /b The expression b “in the water” /b indicates that the verse is referring to a specific body of water, i.e., b in the water of a ritual bath. /b The phrase b “all his flesh” /b teaches that one must immerse in b water that his whole body can enter /b at once. b And how much is that? /b |

Do b you say /b that the benediction must be recited b in the sacred tongue, or /b perhaps it may be recited b in any language? /b The i baraita /i answers: b It is stated here, /b with regard to the Priestly Benediction: b “So you shall bless,” and it is stated there, /b with regard to the blessings and curses: b “These shall stand /b on Mount Gerizim b to bless the people” /b (Deuteronomy 27:12). There is a verbal analogy between these two usages of the word “bless”: b Just as there, /b the blessings and curses were recited b in the sacred tongue, /b as stated above (33a), b so too here, /b the Priestly Benediction is recited b in the sacred tongue. /b , b Rabbi Yehuda says: It is not necessary /b to derive this from a verbal analogy, as b it says /b with regard to the Priestly Benediction: b “Thus,” /b which means that it is not recited correctly b unless they recite it in this /b exact b language, /b as it is written in the Torah., b It is taught /b in b another /b i baraita /i : b “So you shall bless,” /b means b while standing. /b Do b you say /b that the benediction must be recited b while standing, or /b perhaps it may b even /b be recited b while sitting? It is stated here: “So you shall bless,” and it is stated there, /b with regard to the blessings and curses: b “These shall stand /b on Mount Gerizim b to bless.” Just as there, /b the blessing was recited b while standing, so too here, /b the priests must recite the Priestly Benediction b while standing. /b , b Rabbi Natan says: It is not necessary /b to derive this from a verbal analogy, as b it says /b in the verse: “At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi to bear the Ark of the Covet of the Lord, to stand before the Lord b to minister to Him and to bless in His name” /b (Deuteronomy 10:8). b Just as /b a priest b performs the /b Temple b service while standing, so too, he blesses while standing. /b The Gemara asks: b And from where do we /b derive that b he performs the service itself /b while standing? b As it is written: “To stand to minister /b in the name of the Lord” (Deuteronomy 18:5)., b It is taught /b in b another /b i baraita /i : b “So you shall bless” /b means b with lifted hands. /b Do b you say /b that the priests must recite the benediction b with lifted hands, or /b perhaps they may recite it b without lifted hands? It is stated here: “So you shall bless,” and it is stated there, /b with regard to the dedication of the Tabernacle: b “And Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them” /b (Leviticus 9:22). b Just as there, /b Aaron blessed the nation b with lifted hands, so too here, /b the Priestly Benediction is recited b with lifted hands. /b ,This i halakha /i was b difficult for Rabbi Yonatan to understand: If /b this i halakha /i is derived from the dedication of the Tabernacle, then why not also say: b Just as there, /b the b High Priest /b was the one who recited the blessing, b and /b it was the b New Moon, and /b the offerings that were brought were b a communal service, so too here, /b the Priestly Benediction must be recited only by the b High Priest, and /b on the b New Moon, and /b when performing b a communal service? /b , b Rabbi Natan says: It is not necessary /b to derive from a verbal analogy that the Priestly Benediction is recited with lifted hands, as b it says /b with regard to Aaron: “To stand to minister in the name of the Lord, b him and his sons forever” /b (Deuteronomy 18:5). In this verse, b his sons are juxtaposed with him. Just as /b Aaron recited the Priestly Benediction b with lifted hands, so too, his sons /b recite the benediction b with lifted hands. And /b furthermore, b it is written “forever,” /b which indicates that it is referring not only to special occasions. b And /b although the verse is not referring to the Priestly Benediction, the b benediction is juxtaposed to /b the Temple b service /b in another verse: “To minister to Him and to bless in His name” (Deuteronomy 10:8)., b And it is taught /b in b another /b i baraita /i : b “So you shall bless the children of Israel” /b means the blessing should be recited b with the ineffable name. /b Do b you say /b that the Priestly Benediction must be recited b with the ineffable name, or /b perhaps b it is /b recited b with only the substitute name, /b i Adonai /i ? b The verse states: “So shall they put My name” /b (Numbers 6:27), which means b My name that is unique to Me. /b ,One b might /b have thought that b even in the outlying areas, /b outside the Temple, b this /b ineffable name is used. b It is stated here, /b with regard to the Priestly Benediction: b “So shall they put My name,” and it is stated there, /b with regard to the place one must sacrifice offerings: “The place that the Lord your God has chosen out of all your tribes b to put His name there” /b (Deuteronomy 12:5). The verbal analogy teaches that b just as there, /b the expression “to put His name there” is referring to b the Temple, so too here, /b the mitzva of “so shall they put My name” applies b in the Temple /b and not anywhere else., b Rabbi Yoshiya says: It is not necessary /b to derive this i halakha /i from the verbal analogy, as it can be derived from a verse. b It says /b in the verse: b “In every place where I cause My name to be mentioned I will come to you /b and bless you” (Exodus 20:20). Does it b enter your mind /b that this verse literally means that the Divine Presence will be revealed b everywhere? Rather, this verse /b must be interpreted by b transposition. /b It must be reordered and read as follows: b In every place where I will come to you and bless you, there I will cause My name to be mentioned. /b Rabbi Yoshiya explains that God is stating: b And where will I come to you and bless you? In the Temple. /b Therefore, he derives: b There, in the Temple, I will cause My name to be mentioned, /b but the ineffable name is not mentioned elsewhere., b It is taught /b in b another /b i baraita /i : b “So you shall bless the sons of Israel” /b (Numbers 6:23). b I have /b derived b only /b the i halakha /i to bless b the sons of Israel. From where /b do I derive the i halakha /i of blessing b converts, women, and emancipated slaves? The verse states /b immediately afterward: b “You shall say to them,” /b meaning b to all of /b the Jewish people., b It is taught /b in b another /b i baraita /i : b “So you shall bless,” /b means that the priests must recite the Priestly Benediction b face-to-face /b with the congregation. Do b you say /b that the Benediction must be recited b face-to-face, or /b perhaps b it is only /b recited with the b faces /b of the priests b facing the back of the necks /b of the congregation? b The verse states: “You shall say to them,” /b face-to-face, b like a person who is talking to another. /b , b It is taught /b in b another /b i baraita /i : b “So you shall bless” /b means that the benediction must be recited b out loud. Or, /b perhaps, b is it /b recited b only in a whisper? The verse states: “You shall say to them,” like a person who is talking to another. /b , b Abaye said: We have a tradition /b with regard to the prayer leader calling the priests to recite the Priestly Benediction: When there are b two /b priests, b he calls: Priests, but /b when there is b one /b priest b he does not call: Priest, as it is stated: “You shall say to them,” /b in plural, meaning b to /b a minimum of b two /b priests. b And Rav Ḥisda said: We have a tradition /b that b a priest calls: Priests, but an Israelite does not call: Priests, as it is stated: “You shall say to them,” /b which means that the b saying /b |

As it is taught /b in a i baraita /i : To determine the priestly watch that would sacrifice b the bull that comes /b as an additional offering b on the Eighth /b Day of Assembly, b they draw lots over it from the beginning; /b this is b the statement of Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi. b And the Rabbis say: One of the two watches that did not sacrifice three bulls /b during i Sukkot /i b sacrifices it. /b Only two of the twenty-four watches sacrifices two bulls over the course of i Sukkot /i . Each of the other watches sacrifices three bulls. Since the mishna mentions that a lottery was held, apparently the mishna is in accordance with the opinion of Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi.,The Gemara rejects this suggestion: b Even /b if b you say /b that it is in accordance with the opinion of b the Rabbis, is that to say that the two /b remaining b priestly watches are not required to draw lots /b to determine which will merit sacrificing the bull?,The Gemara asks: b In accordance with whose /b opinion b is that which is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b All of the priestly watches /b sacrifice a bull b twice and three /b times, b except for two watches that /b sacrifice a bull b twice and do not /b sacrifice a bull b three /b times? b Let us say /b that it is in accordance with the opinion of b Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi b and not /b in accordance with the opinion of b the Rabbis, /b as they hold that one of those watches sacrifices a third bull on the Eighth Day of Assembly. The Gemara rejects this suggestion: b Even /b if b you say /b that it is in accordance with the opinion of b the Rabbis; what is /b the meaning of the phrase: b They did not /b sacrifice a bull b three /b times? It means that b with regard to the bulls of the festival /b of i Sukkot /i they did not sacrifice a bull three times.,The Gemara asks: With regard to the bulls sacrificed on i Sukkot /i , b what does /b the i baraita /i b teach us? /b It is a simple calculation that seventy bulls divided by twenty-four watches leaves two watches that sacrificed only two bulls. The Gemara answers: b This /b is what the i baraita /i comes to b teach us: One who sacrificed bulls today will not sacrifice /b bulls b tomorrow; rather, they rotate. /b Therefore, each watch sacrifices at least two bulls, and most of them sacrifice three., b Rabbi Elazar said: These seventy bulls /b that are sacrificed as additional offerings over the course of the seven days of i Sukkot /i , b to what do they correspond? They correspond to the seventy nations /b of the world, and are brought to atone for their sins and to hasten world peace. b Why /b is b a single bull /b sacrificed on the Eighth Day of Assembly? b It corresponds to the singular nation, /b Israel.,The Gemara cites b a parable /b about b a king of flesh and blood who said to his servants: Prepare me a great feast /b that will last for several days. When the feast concluded, b on the last day, he said to his beloved /b servant: b Prepare me a small feast so that I can derive pleasure from you /b alone., b Rabbi Yoḥa said: Woe unto the nations /b of the world b that lost /b something b and do not know what they lost. When the Temple is standing, the /b seventy bulls sacrificed on the b altar /b during the festival of i Sukkot /i b atones for them. And now /b that the Temple is destroyed, b who atones for them? /b , strong MISHNA: /strong b At three times during the year, all /b twenty-four b priestly watches /b have b equal /b status, in that all receive a share in the Temple service independent of the standard order of the watches and all receive a share in the accompanying gifts of the priesthood: b In the portions of the offerings of the Festivals /b sacrificed on the altar b and in the distribution of the shewbread /b on Shabbat during the Festivals., b On i Shavuot /i /b that coincides with Shabbat, when the two loaves offered on i Shavuot /i would be distributed together with the distribution of the shewbread, the priest charged with the distribution b says to /b each priest: b Here is i matza /i /b from the shewbread b for you, /b and b here is leavened bread /b from the two loaves b for you. /b The principle is that b the priestly watch whose time is fixed /b during the Festival b sacrifices /b the b daily offerings /b during the Festival, as well as vow-offerings, b free-will offerings, and all other communal offerings. And /b that watch b sacrifices all of them /b even during the Festival, when other aspects of the service are shared by all the watches., strong GEMARA: /strong The Gemara wonders: How is it that the priests divide those b portions of the Festival offerings? /b Don’t b they /b belong b to God, /b and must be placed on the altar? How do the priestly watches share these portions? b Rav Ḥisda said: /b The mishna is referring not to portions sacrificed on the altar [ i eimurim /i ] but to b what was stated [ i amur /i ] with regard to the pilgrimage Festivals, /b all those portions of the offerings that the Torah commanded to sacrifice at the Temple that are not burnt on the altar and are shared by the priests, e.g., hides of the burnt-offerings of appearance and the breast and thigh of the Festival peace-offerings., b The Sages taught: From where /b is it derived b that all of the priestly watches /b have b equal /b status b in the portions of the Festival offerings? The verse states: /b “And if a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel, where he sojourns, b and comes with all the desire of his soul /b unto the place that the Lord shall choose; b then he shall minister /b …as all his brethren…They shall have like portions to eat, besides the transactions of their fathers’ houses” (Deuteronomy 18:6–8). Based on these verses, one b might /b have thought that b this /b is the case b even on the rest of the days of the year /b and the priestly watches would have equal status. Therefore, b the verse states: From one of your gates. I said /b that all have equal status b only when all of Israel enters through one gate, /b i.e., on a pilgrimage Festival.,The mishna continues: b And in the distribution of the shewbread /b on the three pilgrimage Festivals, all twenty-four priestly watches have equal status. b The Sages taught: From where /b is it derived b that all of the priestly watches /b have b equal /b status b in the distribution of the shewbread? /b |

A diver descended to bring it /b up, and the b snake came and sought to swallow the ship. A raven came /b and b cut off its head, /b and b the water turned into blood /b due to the enormousness of the snake. b Another snake came, took /b the precious stone, b and hung it /b on the dead snake, b and it recovered. It returned /b and again b sought to swallow the ship, /b and yet again b a bird came and cut off its head, took that precious stone, /b and b threw it onto the ship. We had with us these salted birds; we placed /b the stone b on them, /b and b they took /b the stone b and flew away with it. /b ,§ Apropos the stories of large sea creatures, the Gemara discusses the large sea creatures mentioned in the Bible. b The Sages taught: /b There was b an incident involving Rabbi Eliezer and Rabbi Yehoshua, who were traveling on a ship, and Rabbi Eliezer was sleeping and Rabbi Yehoshua was awake. Rabbi Yehoshua trembled, and Rabbi Eliezer awoke. /b Rabbi Eliezer b said to him: What is this, Yehoshua; for what /b reason b did you tremble? /b Rabbi Yehoshua b said to him: I saw a great light in the sea. /b Rabbi Eliezer b said to him: Perhaps you saw the eyes of the leviathan, as it is written: “And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning” /b (Job 41:10)., b Rav Ashi said: Huna bar Natan said to me: Once we were traveling in the desert, and we had a thigh of meat with us. We cut open /b the thigh b and tore /b off the sciatic nerve and the forbidden fat b and put it on the grass. By /b the time b that we brought wood, the thigh had repaired /b itself, b and we roasted it. When we returned /b to that place b after twelve months /b of b the year /b had passed, b we saw that those coals were still glowing. When I came before Ameimar, he said to me: That grass was a drug of life [ i samterei /i ], /b while b those coals were of broom. /b ,The verse states: b “And God created the great sea monsters” /b (Genesis 1:21). b Here, /b in Babylonia, b they interpreted /b this as a reference to the b sea oryx. Rabbi Yoḥa says: This is leviathan the slant serpent, and leviathan the tortuous serpent, as it is stated: “In that day the Lord with His sore /b and great and strong b sword /b will punish leviathan the slant serpent, and leviathan the tortuous serpent” (Isaiah 27:1).,§ The Gemara provides b a mnemonic /b for the following statements of Rav Yehuda citing Rav: b Everything; time; Jordan. Rav Yehuda says /b that b Rav says: Everything that the Holy One, Blessed be He, created in His world, He created male and female. Even leviathan the slant serpent and leviathan the tortuous serpent He created male and female. And if they would have coupled /b and produced offspring, they would have b destroyed the entire world. What did the Holy One, Blessed be He, do? He castrated the male and killed the female, and salted /b the female to preserve it for the banquet b for the righteous in the future. As it is stated: “And He will slay the serpent that is in the sea” /b (Isaiah 27:1)., b And He created even the beasts on the thousand hills /b (see Psalms 50:10) b male and female. And /b they were so enormous that b if they would have coupled /b and produced offspring, b they would have destroyed the entire world. What did the Holy One, Blessed be He, do? He castrated the male and cooled /b the sexual desire of b the female and preserved it for the righteous in the future. As it is stated /b about the beasts: b “Lo now, his strength is in his loins” /b (Job 40:16); b this /b is referring to the b male. /b The continuation of the verse: b “And his force is in the stays of his body”; this /b is the b female, /b alluding to the idea that they did not use their genitals for the purpose of procreation.,The Gemara asks: b There too, /b with regard to the leviathan, b let Him castrate the male and cool the female; /b why was it necessary to kill the female? The Gemara answers: b Fish are unrestrained, /b and therefore even if the female was cooled, the female would still procreate. The Gemara suggests: b And let Him do the opposite, /b and kill and preserve the male leviathan. The Gemara responds: b If you wish, say /b that the b salted female is better; if you wish, say /b instead b that /b since b it is written: “There is leviathan, whom You have formed to sport with” /b (Psalms 104:26), the male must be left alive for sport, because it is b not proper conduct /b to sport b with a female. /b The Gemara asks: b Here too, /b with regard to the beasts, b let Him /b preserve the b female in salt, /b instead of cooling it. The Gemara answers: b Salted fish is good, /b but b salted meat is not good. /b , b And Rav Yehuda says /b that b Rav says: At the time when the Holy One, Blessed be He, sought to create the world, He said to the minister of the sea: Open your mouth and swallow all the waters of the world, /b so that there will be room for land. The minister of the sea b said before Him: Master of the Universe, /b it is b enough that I will stay within my own /b waters. God b immediately struck him and killed him; as it is stated: “He stirs up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He smites through Rahab” /b (Job 26:12)., b Rabbi Yitzḥak said: Conclude from here /b that b the name of the minister of the sea is Rahab, and were it not for waters /b of the sea that b cover him, no creature could withstand his smell, /b as his corpse emits a terrible stench. b As it is stated: “They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain; /b for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, b as the waters cover the sea” /b (Isaiah 11:9). b Do not read /b this phrase as b “cover the sea”; rather /b read it as: b Cover the minister of the sea, /b i.e., the term sea is referring to the minister of the sea, not to the sea itself., b And Rav Yehuda says /b that b Rav says: The Jordan issues forth from the cave of Pamyas. That is also taught /b in a i baraita /i : b The Jordan issues forth from the cave of Pamyas, and travels in the Sea of Sivkhi, /b i.e., the Hula Lake, b and in the Sea of Tiberias, /b the Sea of Galilee, b and rolls down to the Great Sea, and rolls down until it reaches the mouth of the leviathan. As it is stated: “He is confident, though the Jordan rush forth to his mouth” /b (Job 40:23). b Rava bar Ulla strongly objects to this /b explanation of the verse, stating: But b this /b verse b is written about the beasts on the thousand hills. Rather, Rava bar Ulla said /b that this is the meaning of the verse: b When are the beasts on the thousand hills confident? When the Jordan rushes forth into the mouth of the leviathan. /b ,§ The Gemara provides b a mnemonic /b for the upcoming statements of Rav Dimi: b Seas; Gabriel; hungry. When Rav Dimi came /b from Eretz Yisrael to Babylonia, he said that b Rabbi Yoḥa said: What /b is the meaning of that b which is written: “For He has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods” /b (Psalms 24:2)? b These are /b the b seven seas and four rivers that surround Eretz Yisrael.

Rav Yosef b said to him: May it be /b God’s b will that you lift your head over the entire city, /b in reward for honoring your teacher.,§ Apropos the obligation of a student to walk backward when taking leave of his teacher, the Gemara discusses a similar topic. b Rabbi Alexandri said /b that b Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said: One who prays must take three steps backward /b upon concluding his prayer b and then recite: Peace, /b in a manner befitting one who departs from before the Holy One, Blessed be He. b Rav Mordekhai said to him: Since he has taken three steps backward, he should stand there /b and not return to his place immediately. This is b analogous to a student who takes leave of his teacher. If he returns immediately /b to the place where was first standing, b he is similar to a dog who returns to its vomit, /b and his previous action is spoiled.,The Gemara comments that b this was also taught /b in a i baraita /i : b One who prays must take three steps backward /b upon concluding his prayer b and then recite: Peace. And if he did not do so, it is better for him not to have prayed, /b as his actions are disrespectful toward God. b And they said in the name of Shemaya /b the Sage b that /b when b one recites: Peace, /b he first bows b to the right and then to the left, as it is stated: “At His right hand was a fiery law to them” /b (Deuteronomy 33:2), b and it says: “A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right side” /b (Psalms 91:7).,The Gemara asks: b What is /b the reason for: b And it says? /b Why is it necessary to cite another source? The Gemara explains: b If you say /b that b it is /b merely b the usual manner to give /b an object b with the right /b hand, but this bears no special significance, b come /b and b hear: “A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right side,” /b which indicates that the right side is the more significant one.,The Gemara relates that b Rava saw Abaye reciting: Peace, /b by bowing at the end of his prayer b to /b his b right first. /b Rava b said to him: Do you maintain /b that you should bow b to your right? I say /b you should bow b to your left /b first, b as it is the right of the Holy One, Blessed be He, /b since He is opposite you face-to-face, as it were. b Rav Ḥiyya, son of Rav Huna, said: I observed that Abaye and Rava /b both b took /b those b three steps all in one /b act of b bowing, /b without standing upright in between, by way of submission to and acceptance of God’s authority.,§ The mishna taught: b And /b the High Priest b recites a brief prayer in the outer chamber. /b The Gemara asks: b What /b does b he pray? Rava bar Rav Adda and Ravin bar Rav Adda both said in the name of Rav /b that this was his prayer: b May it be your will, Lord our God, that this year shall be rainy and hot. /b The Gemara immediately expresses surprise at this request: Is b heat a good /b matter? Why should he request that the year be hot? b Rather, say /b and emend it as follows: b If /b the upcoming year is b hot, may it /b also b be rainy, /b lest the heat harm the crops., b Rav Aḥa, son of Rava, concluded /b the language of this prayer b in the name of Rav Yehuda: May the rule of power not depart from the house of Judah; and may your nation Israel not depend on each other for sustece, /b rather, they should be sustained from the produce of their land; b and let not the prayer of travelers enter Your presence /b when they pray for the rain to stop on their travels.,The Gemara relates: b Rabbi Ḥanina ben Dosa was walking on the road /b when b rain fell upon him. He said: Master of the Universe, the entire world is comfortable and Ḥanina is suffering. The rain stopped. When he came to his house he said: Master of the Universe, the entire world is suffering /b for lack of rain b and Ḥanina is comfortable. The rain came /b back. b Rav Yosef said: What effect does the prayer of the High Priest have with regard to Rabbi Ḥanina ben Dosa? /b Notwithstanding the prayer of the High Priest in the Holy of Holies, Rabbi Ḥanina ben Dosa’s sanctity is greater, as God fulfills his bidding.,§ The mishna stated that the High Priest would not extend his prayer. b The Sages taught /b in the i Tosefta /i : There was b an incident /b involving b a certain High Priest who extended his prayer, and his fellow priests /b took a vote, b counted, /b and decided b to go in after him /b out of concern that he had died or fainted and required assistance. b They began to enter and /b at that moment b he emerged. They said to him: Why did you extend your prayer? He said to them: /b Why not? b Does it trouble you that I prayed for you and for the Temple not to be destroyed? They said to him: Do not make a habit of doing so, as we learned: He would not extend his prayer, so as not to alarm the Jewish people, /b who might fear he had died., strong MISHNA: /strong b After the Ark was taken /b into exile, b there was a rock /b in the Holy of Holies b from the days of the early prophets, /b David and Samuel, who laid the groundwork for construction of the Temple, b and /b this stone b was called /b the b foundation /b rock. It was b three fingerbreadths higher than the ground, and /b the High Priest b would place /b the incense b on it. /b After the High Priest left the Holy of Holies, b he took the blood /b of the bull sacrificed as a sin-offering b from /b the one b who was stirring it, /b so it would not coagulate. b He entered into the place that he /b had previously b entered, /b the Holy of Holies, b and stood at the place where he /b had previously b stood /b to offer the incense, between the staves. b And he sprinkled from /b the blood, b one /b time b upward and seven /b times b downward. /b , b And he would neither intend to sprinkle /b the blood b upward nor /b to sprinkle it b downward, but rather like one who whips, /b with the blood sprinkled in a single column, one drop below the other. b And this /b is how b he would count /b as he sprinkled, to avoid error: b One; one and one; one and two; one and three; one and four; one and five; one and six; one and seven. /b The High Priest then b emerged /b from there b and placed /b the bowl with the remaining blood b on the golden pedestal in the Sanctuary. /b , b They brought him the goat /b to be sacrificed as a sin-offering to God. b He slaughtered it and received its blood in the bowl. He /b again b entered into the place that he /b had previously b entered, /b the Holy of Holies, b and stood at the place that he /b previously b stood, and sprinkled from /b the blood of the goat b one /b time b upward and seven /b times b downward. And this /b is how b he would count, /b just as he counted when sprinkling the blood of the bull: b One; one and one; one and two; etc. /b The High Priest then b emerged /b from the Holy of Holies b and placed /b the bowl with the remaining blood b on the second golden pedestal in the Sanctuary. Rabbi Yehuda says: There was only one pedestal there, /b and he b took the blood of the bull /b from the pedestal b and placed the blood of the goat /b in its place., b And he sprinkled from /b the blood of the bull b on the curtain opposite the Ark from outside /b the Holy of Holies, b one /b time b upward and seven /b times b downward, and he would not intend, etc. And this /b is how b he would count, etc. /b When he concluded, b he took the blood of the goat /b from the pedestal b and placed blood of the bull /b in its place on the pedestal. b And he sprinkled from /b the goat’s blood b on the curtain opposite the Ark from outside, /b just as he did with the blood of the bull, b one /b time b upward and seven /b times b downward, etc. /b Afterward, b he poured the blood of the bull into the blood of the goat and placed /b the blood b from the full /b bowl into the b empty /b bowl, so that the blood would be mixed well., strong GEMARA: /strong The Gemara comments with regard to the wording of the mishna: It does b not teach: After /b the Ark b was buried, but: After /b it b was taken. /b If so, b we learned /b this mishna b in accordance with /b the opinion of b the one who said /b that b the Ark was exiled to Babylonia /b and was not buried in its place, b as it was taught /b in a i baraita /i : b Rabbi Eliezer says: The Ark was exiled to Babylonia, as it is stated: “And at the turn of the year King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylonia, along with the precious vessels of the House of the Lord” /b (II Chronicles 36:10). These precious vessels must include the Ark.,Likewise, b Rabbi Shimon ben Yoḥai says: The Ark was exiled to Babylonia, as it is stated: /b “Behold, the days come that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have stored until this day, shall be carried to Babylonia; b nothing [ i davar /i ] shall be left, says the Lord” /b (Isaiah 39:6). b These are the Ten Commandments [ i dibrot /i ] that are inside it; /b they too shall not be left behind., b Rabbi Yehuda ben Lakish says: The Ark was buried in its place, as it is stated: “And the ends of the staves were seen from the sacred place before the partition, but they could not be seen without; and they are there to this day” /b (I Kings 8:8). The expression “to this day” means forever, as the text might be read at any time. This teaches that the Ark is hidden in its place.,The Gemara comments: And b this /b opinion that the Ark was exiled to Babylonia b disagrees with /b that b of Ulla, as Ulla said: Rabbi Matya ben Ḥarash asked Rabbi Shimon ben Yoḥai in Rome: And since Rabbi Eliezer taught us once and twice, /b i.e., from two separate verses, that b the Ark was exiled to Babylonia. /b The Gemara interrupts its citation of Rabbi Matya ben Ḥarash’s question to identify these two verses. b The first /b verse is b that which we said: “And brought him to Babylonia, along with the precious vessels of the House of the Lord.” What is the second /b verse? Rabbi Eliezer said: b As it is written: “And gone from the daughter of Zion is /b |

Is it b because Jupiter is /b situated b in the west /b that you cannot have children? b I will restore /b it b and establish /b it b in the east. And that is /b the meaning of b that which is written /b with regard to Abraham: b “Who has raised up one from the east, he will call justice [ i tzedek /i ] to his steps [ i leraglo /i ]. /b He gives nations before him, and makes him rule over kings; his sword makes them as the dust, his bow as the driven stubble” (Isaiah 41:2). God established Jupiter [ i tzedek /i ] in the east on behalf of [ i leraglo /i ] Abraham., b And from /b that which transpired to b Shmuel, /b one can b also /b conclude that b there is no constellation for the Jewish people. /b The Gemara relates that b Shmuel and /b the gentile sage b Ablet were sitting, and /b they saw b these people were going to the lake. Ablet said to Shmuel: This person will go and he will not return, /b because b a snake will bite him and he will die. Shmuel said to him: If he is a Jew, he will go and come back. As they were sitting /b for a while, the person they discussed b went /b away b and /b then b returned. /b , b Ablet stood up, threw down /b the person’s b burden, and inside he found a snake cut and cast in two pieces. Shmuel said to him: What did you do /b to merit being saved from death? The person b said to him: Every day we all take bread /b together b and eat /b from the bread. b Today, there was one of us who did not have bread, /b and when it came time to gather the bread, b he was embarrassed /b because he did not have any to give. b I said to /b the others: b I will go and take /b the bread. b When I came to /b the person who did not have bread, b I rendered myself as one who was taking from him so that he would not be embarrassed. /b Shmuel b said to him: You performed a mitzva. Shmuel went out and taught /b based on this incident that even though it is written: b “And charity will save from death” /b (Proverbs 10:2), it does b not /b only mean that it will save a person b from an unusual death but /b even b from death itself. /b , b And from /b that which transpired to b Rabbi Akiva as well /b it can be derived that b there is no constellation for the Jewish people, as Rabbi Akiva had a daughter, and Chaldean /b astrologers b told him /b that b on the same day that she enters the wedding canopy, a snake will bite her and she will die. She was very worried about this. On that day, /b her wedding day, b she took /b the ornamental b pin /b from her hair b and stuck it /b into a hole b in the wall /b for safekeeping, and b it happened /b that it b entered /b directly b into the eye of the snake. In the morning, when she took /b the pin, b the snake was pulled and came out with it. /b , b Her father /b Rabbi Akiva b said to her: What did you do /b to merit being saved from the snake? She told him: b In the evening a poor person came and knocked on the door, and everyone was preoccupied with the feast and nobody heard him. I stood /b and b took the portion that you had given me /b and b gave it to him. /b Rabbi Akiva b said to her: You performed a mitzva, /b and you were saved in its merit. b Rabbi Akiva went out and taught /b based on this incident that even though it is written: b “And charity will save from death” /b (Proverbs 10:2), it does b not /b mean that it will save a person only b from an unusual death, but /b even b from death itself. /b , b And from /b that which transpired to b Rav Naḥman bar Yitzḥak as well /b it can be derived that b there is no constellation for the Jewish people, As Chaldean /b astrologers b told Rav Naḥman bar Yitzḥak’s mother: Your son will be a thief. She did not allow him /b to b uncover his head. She said to /b her son: b Cover your head so that the fear of Heaven will be upon you, and pray for /b Divine b mercy. He did not know why she said /b this b to him. One day he was sitting and studying beneath a palm tree /b that did not belong to him, and b the cloak fell off of his head. He lifted his eyes /b and b saw the palm tree. He was overcome by impulse /b and b he climbed up and detached a bunch of dates with his teeth. /b Apparently, he had an inborn inclination to steal, but was able to overcome that inclination with proper education and prayer., strong MISHNA: /strong b One may cut the pumpkins before an animal /b on Shabbat, as long as they were picked prior to Shabbat. b And /b likewise one may cut b an /b animal b carcass before the dogs /b on Shabbat. b Rabbi Yehuda says: If it was not /b already b a carcass, /b i.e., it was not dead, b prior to Shabbat, it is prohibited /b to cut it or even move it on Shabbat b because it is not prepared /b for use on Shabbat., strong GEMARA: /strong A dispute between the i amora’im /i with regard to the prohibition of set-aside on Shabbat b was stated. i Ayin /i , i reish /i , i lamed /i , i shin /i , i ḥet /i , i zayin /i /b is a b mnemonic /b for the names of the i amora’im /i who stated the following i halakhot /i . b Ulla said: /b The b i halakha /i is in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Yehuda, /b who holds that there is a prohibition of set-aside on Shabbat. b And Shmuel said: /b The b i halakha /i is in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Shimon. /b , b And Rav also holds /b that the b i halakha /i is in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Yehuda. /b From where is it ascertained that this is Rav’s opinion? b From that which /b was taught with regard to b the mats that are /b on b ships; Rav prohibited /b moving them on Shabbat due to the prohibition of set-aside, b and Shmuel permitted /b moving them. b And Levi also holds /b that the b i halakha /i is in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Yehuda, as /b can be seen from his practice when b they would bring a /b slaughtered animal with regard to which there was concern that it was b an animal with a condition that will cause it to die within twelve months [ i tereifa /i ], before Levi on a Festival. He would /b examine it b only when he was sitting /b near b a garbage /b dump, b as he said: Perhaps it would not be /b determined to be b kosher and /b it would b not be suited even for dogs, /b and then it would be prohibited to move the carcass. Apparently, he holds that it is prohibited to move a carcass that was not prepared for use before Shabbat., b And Shmuel said: /b The b i halakha /i is in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Shimon, /b who holds that the prohibition of set-aside does not apply on Shabbat. b And Ze’eiri also holds /b that the b i halakha /i is in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Shimon, as we learned /b in a mishna: With regard to b an animal that died /b on Shabbat, b one may not move it from its place /b on Shabbat. b And Ze’eiri explained: /b This prohibition only applies b to a consecrated animal, /b as consecrated items may not be fed to dogs in deference to their sanctity; therefore, it is set-aside and may not be moved on Shabbat. b However, in /b the case of b a non-sacred /b animal, one may b well /b move it and use it because it does not have set-aside status. b And Rabbi Yoḥa also said /b that the b i halakha /i is in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Shimon. /b The Gemara asks: b And did Rabbi Yoḥa /b really b say that?

Is it explained that b here, too, /b the phrase b “upon [ i al /i ] /b the wood” can mean b adjacent to /b the wood? b Or perhaps, /b the phrase “upon [ i al /i ] the wood that is on the fire upon the altar” teaches that b “upon the wood” /b is to be understood as b similar to “upon the altar”: Just as there “upon /b the altar” is meant b literally, so too here, /b the phrase b “upon /b the wood” is meant b literally. /b The Gemara comments: No answer was found, and the dilemma b shall stand /b unresolved., strong MISHNA: /strong With regard to b the handful, /b failure to sacrifice b the minority of it prevents the majority of it, /b which was sacrificed, from rendering it permitted for the priests to consume the remainder of the meal offering. With regard to b a tenth /b of an ephah of flour brought as a meal offering, failure to sacrifice b the minority of it prevents the majority of it, /b which was sacrificed, from qualifying as a proper meal offering.

This is derived from the fact that b the verse states “his handful” twice, /b once with regard to the voluntary meal offering (Leviticus 2:2) and once with regard to the meal offering of a sinner (Leviticus 5:12), and any i halakha /i repeated in the verses is deemed indispensable.,The mishna teaches: With regard to b a tenth /b of an ephah of flour brought as a meal offering, failure to sacrifice b the minority of it prevents the majority of it /b from qualifying as a proper meal offering. b What is the reason? The verse states: /b “The priest shall remove of it a handful b of its fine flour” /b (Leviticus 2:2). The usage of the term “of its fine flour” instead of: of the fine flour, teaches b that if any amount /b of its flour b was missing, /b it is b not valid. /b ,The mishna teaches: With regard to b the wine /b poured as a libation, failure to pour b the minority of it prevents the majority of it /b from qualifying as a proper libation. What is the reason? The verse states concerning the libations: b “So /b shall it be done” (Numbers 15:11). The term “so” indicates that the libations must be sacrificed exactly in the manner described, without any deviation.,The mishna teaches: With regard to b the /b i log /i of b oil /b that is required for the meal offering, failure to add b the minority of it prevents the majority of it /b from being a sufficient measure of oil. In the case of the oil b of the meal offering /b that accompanies the b libations, /b this i halakha /i is learned from the term: b “So” /b (Numbers 15:11), stated with regard to the libations. b And /b in the case of the i log /i of oil that accompanies b a voluntary meal offering, the verse states: “And of its oil” /b (Leviticus 2:2), demonstrating b that if any amount /b of its oil was b missing, /b it is b not valid. /b ,The mishna teaches: With regard to b the fine flour and the oil, /b failure to bring b each prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the other. /b The i halakha /i that each is indispensable is derived from the fact that the two are juxtaposed in the verse: “The priest shall remove of it a handful b of its fine flour and of its oil” /b (Leviticus 2:2), and the fact that this requirement is repeated in the verse: b “of its groats, and of its oil” /b (Leviticus 2:16), teaches that each is indispensable.,The mishna teaches: With regard to b the handful and the frankincense, /b failure to burn b each prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the other. /b The i halakha /i that each is indispensable is derived from the repetition of the mention of the two together in the verse, as it is written: “The priest shall remove of it a handful of its fine flour and of its oil, b as well as all of its frankincense” /b (Leviticus 2:2), and again with regard to the meal offering of a sinner it is stated: b “And all the frankincense which is upon the meal offering” /b (Leviticus 6:8)., strong MISHNA: /strong With regard to b the two goats of Yom Kippur, /b the absence of b each /b goat b prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the other. /b With regard to b the two sheep /b brought together with the meal offering of the two loaves on b i Shavuot /i , /b failure to bring b each /b of the sheep b prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the other. /b With regard to the b two loaves /b brought on i Shavuot /i , failure to bring b each /b of the loaves b prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the other. /b ,With regard to the b two arrangements /b of the shewbread, failure to place b each /b of the arrangements b prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the other. /b With regard to the b two bowls /b of frankincense that accompany the shewbread, failure to place b each /b of the bowls b prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the other. /b With regard to b the arrangements /b of the shewbread b and the bowls /b of frankincense, failure to bring b each /b of them b prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the other. /b ,With regard to the b two types /b of loaves b that /b accompany the offerings b of a nazirite: /b The bread and wafers (see Numbers 6:15); the b three /b species b that /b are part of the rite b of the /b red b heifer: /b The cedar, hyssop, and scarlet wool (see Numbers 19:6); b and /b the b four /b types of loaves b that /b accompany b the thanks offering: /b The loaves, wafers, loaves soaked in hot water, and leavened bread (see Leviticus 7:12); b and /b the b four /b species b of the i lulav /i : /b The i lulav /i , i etrog /i , myrtle, and willow (see Leviticus 23:40); b and /b the b four /b species b that are /b used b in /b the purification process of b the leper: /b The cedar, hyssop, scarlet wool, and birds (see Leviticus 14:4), failure to bring b each /b of the components b prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the others. /b ,With regard to the b seven sprinklings /b of the blood b of the /b red b heifer /b that the priest sprinkles opposite the entrance to the Sanctuary (see Numbers 19:4), failure to sprinkle b each prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the others. /b With regard to the b seven sprinklings /b of the blood of the bull and goat of Yom Kippur b that /b are sprinkled b on /b the Ark b between the staves /b (see Leviticus 16:14–15), the seven sprinklings b that /b are sprinkled b on the Curtain /b separating the Sanctuary and Holy of Holies, and the sprinklings b that /b are sprinkled b on the golden altar /b on Yom Kippur, and from all other inner sin offerings, failure to sprinkle b each prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the others. /b , strong GEMARA: /strong The mishna teaches: With regard to b the two goats of Yom Kippur, /b the absence of b each /b goat b prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the other. /b This is derived from the verse that states with regard to the Yom Kippur service: “And it shall be b a statute /b forever” (Leviticus 16:29), since wherever the term “statute” appears concerning a sacrificial rite, it signifies that the rite is an indispensable requirement.,The mishna teaches: With regard to b the two sheep /b brought together with the meal offering of the two loaves on b i Shavuot /i , /b failure to bring b each /b of the sheep b prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the other. /b This is derived from the verse: “They shall be holy” (Leviticus 23:20), since the employment of a term of b being /b indicates an indispensable requirement. Similarly, with regard to the b two loaves /b brought on i Shavuot /i , the reason failure to bring each of the loaves prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the other is that the verse states: “They shall be of fine flour” (Leviticus 23:17), employing a term of b being. /b ,With regard to the b two arrangements /b of the shewbread, the reason failure to place each of the arrangements prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the other is that the verse employs the term b statute /b concerning them (see Leviticus 24:9). With regard to the b two bowls /b of frankincense that accompany the shewbread, the reason failure to place each of the bowls prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the other is that the verse employs the term b statute /b concerning them (see Leviticus 24:9). With regard to b the arrangements /b of the shewbread b and the bowls /b of frankincense, the reason failure to bring each of them prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the other is that the verse employs the term b statute /b concerning them, as that verse addresses each of these two components.,With regard to the b two types /b of loaves b that /b accompany the offerings b of a nazirite, /b each prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the others, b as it is written /b with regard to the nazirite: b “So he must do /b after the law of his naziriteship” (Numbers 6:21), demonstrating that must bring his offerings precisely as detailed in the verse. With regard to the b three /b species b that /b are part of the rite b of the /b red b heifer, /b each prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the others, since the term b statute /b is written about them: “This is the statute of the law” (Numbers 19:2).,With regard to the b four /b types of loaves b that /b accompany b the thanks offering, /b each prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the others, b since /b the thanks offering b is juxtaposed to /b the offerings of b a nazirite, as it is written /b with regard to the thanks offering: b “With the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving” /b (Leviticus 7:13). b And the Master said: /b The term b “his peace offerings” /b serves b to include /b the loaves of b the peace offering of a nazirite, /b and it has already been demonstrated that with regard to the loaves that accompany the offerings of a nazirite, each prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the others., b And /b with regard to the b four /b species b that are in /b the purification process of b the leper, /b each prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the others, b as it is written: “This shall be the law of the leper” /b (Leviticus 14:2), and the term “shall be” indicates an indispensable requirement. b And /b with regard to the b four /b species b of the i lulav /i , /b each prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the others, as the verse states: b “And you shall take” [ i ulkaḥtem /i ]” /b (Leviticus 23:40), which alludes to: b A complete taking [ i lekiḥa tamma /i ], /b comprising all four species.,§ b Rav Ḥa bar Rava says: /b The mishna b taught /b that the four species of the i lulav /i are necessary for the fulfillment of the mitzva b only /b in a case b where one did not have /b all four species; b but /b if b one has /b all four species, failure to take each of the components b does not prevent /b fulfillment of the mitzva with the others, and he fulfills the mitzva by taking each species individually.,The Gemara b raises an objection /b from a i baraita /i : With regard to the b four species of the i lulav /i , two of them, /b the i lulav /i and i etrog /i , b produce fruit, and two of them, /b the myrtle and willow, b do not produce fruit. Those that produce fruit have a bond with those that do not produce fruit, and those that do not produce fruit have a bond with those that produce fruit. And a person does not fulfill his obligation /b of taking the i lulav /i b until they are all /b bound together b in a single bundle. /b , b And so too, /b when b the Jewish people /b fast and pray b for acceptance /b of their repentance, this is not accomplished b until they are all /b bound together b in a single bundle, as it is stated: “It is He that builds His upper chambers in the Heaven, and has established His bundle upon the earth” /b (Amos 9:6), which is interpreted as stating that only when the Jewish people are bound together are they established upon the earth. This i baraita /i contradicts Rav Ḥa bar Rava’s statement, since it teaches that the four species of the i lulav /i must be taken together in order for one to fulfill his obligation of taking the i lulav /i .,The Gemara answers: Whether the different species must be taken together b is /b a dispute between b i tanna’im /i ; as it is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b A i lulav /i , whether /b it is b bound /b with the myrtle and willow or b whether /b it is b not bound, /b is b fit. Rabbi Yehuda says: /b If it is b bound, /b it is b fit; /b if it is b not bound, /b it is b unfit. /b ,The Gemara asks: b What is the reasoning of Rabbi Yehuda? /b The Gemara answers: By means of a verbal analogy, he b derives /b the term b taking, /b written with regard to the four species, b from /b the term b taking /b written with regard to b the bundle of hyssop. /b It is written there, in the context of the sacrifice of the Paschal offering in Egypt: “Take a bundle of hyssop” (Exodus 12:22), and it is written here, with regard to the four species: “And you shall take for you on the first day the fruit of a beautiful tree, branches of a date palm, boughs of dense-leaved trees, and willows of the brook” (Leviticus 23:40)., b Just as there, /b with regard to the Paschal offering, the mitzva to take the hyssop is specifically b in a bundle, so too here, /b the mitzva to take the four species is specifically b in a bundle. /b The Gemara asks: b And /b what is the reasoning of b the Rabbis? /b The Gemara answers: b They do not derive /b the meaning of the term b taking /b from the meaning of the term b taking /b by means of the verbal analogy.,The Gemara asks: b In accordance with whose /b opinion b is that which is taught /b in a i baraita /i : There is b a mitzva to bind /b the myrtle and the willow together with the b i lulav /i , but if one did not bind it, /b it is b fit? In accordance with whose /b opinion is the i baraita /i ? b If /b it is b in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Yehuda, /b if b one did not bind it, why /b is it b fit? If /b it is in accordance with the opinion of b the Rabbis, what mitzva /b is one fulfilling by binding it?,The Gemara answers: b Actually, /b it is in accordance with the opinion of b the Rabbis. And what mitzva /b is one fulfilling? The mitzva is b due to /b the fact that it is stated: b “This is my God and I will beautify Him” /b (Exodus 15:2), which is interpreted to mean that one should beautify himself before God in the performance of the mitzvot. The Rabbis agree that although failure to bind the three species does not render them unfit for performing the mitzva, the performance of the mitzva is more beautiful when the i lulav /i is bound.,§ The mishna teaches: With regard to the b seven sprinklings /b of the blood b of the heifer /b that the priest sprinkles opposite the entrance to the Sanctuary, failure to sprinkle b each prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the others, /b since the term b statute /b is written about them (see Numbers 19:2).,The mishna further teaches: With regard to the b seven sprinklings /b of the blood of the bull and goat of Yom Kippur b that /b are sprinkled b on /b the Ark b between the staves, and /b the sprinklings b that /b are sprinkled b on the golden altar /b on Yom Kippur, and the sprinklings from all other inner sin offerings that are sprinkled on the golden altar, b and /b the seven sprinklings b that /b are sprinkled b on the Curtain /b separating the Sanctuary and Holy of Holies, failure to sprinkle b each prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the others. /b With regard to the sprinklings b of Yom Kippur, /b the reason that each prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the others is that the term b “statute” is written /b about the Yom Kippur service (see Leviticus 16:29).,With regard to the sprinklings b of the bull of /b the b anointed priest, /b i.e., the High Priest, b and of the bull for an unwitting communal sin, and /b those b of the goats of idol worship, /b which are sprinkled on the Curtain and on the golden altar, the reason that each prevents fulfillment of the mitzva with the others is b as it is taught /b in a i baraita /i : The verse states with regard to the bull for an unwitting communal sin: b “So shall he do with the bull; as he did with the bull /b of the sin offering” of the anointed priest (Leviticus 4:20). b Why /b must b the verse state /b that the bull offering for an unwitting communal sin is sacrificed in the same manner as the bull of the anointed priest, when the Torah has already explicitly specified the manner in which the service should take place? The reason it states it is in order b to repeat /b the command b of the sprinklings, /b |

The Gemara answers: b When that /b i baraita /i b is taught, /b it is b with regard to /b combining with others to form a quorum of three to recite b Grace after Meals, /b as a mourner is obligated to recite Grace after Meals. However, b when Rabbi Yoḥa says /b that mourners are not included in the tally, it is b with regard to /b the quorum of ten men required to form b a line /b to comfort the mourners following the burial., b And /b the Gemara raises an objection: b However, that which Rabbi Yitzḥak said /b that b Rabbi Yoḥa said: One recites the blessing of the grooms in /b a quorum of b ten, and the grooms are included in the tally, and one recites the blessing of the mourners in /b a quorum of b ten, and the mourners are not included in the tally. Is there a blessing /b recited b in the line /b formed to comfort the mourners? Clearly, this statement of Rabbi Yoḥa cannot be explained as referring to the line. b Rather, when Rabbi Yoḥa said /b that mourners are not included in the tally, it was b with regard to /b the blessing recited b in the square /b adjacent to the cemetery, where the meal of comfort takes place and various blessings are recited to comfort the mourners. Mourners are not included in the requisite quorum of ten.,The Gemara asks: b However, /b with regard to b that which Rabbi Yitzḥak said /b that b Rabbi Yoḥa said: One recites the blessing of the grooms in /b a quorum of b ten all seven /b days of celebration, b and the grooms are included in the tally; and one recites the blessing of the mourners all seven /b days of mourning b in /b a quorum of b ten, and the mourners are not included in the tally, is there a blessing /b recited b in the square all seven /b days? The meal of comfort and the associated blessings take place directly after the burial, not throughout the seven days of mourning. The Gemara answers: b You find /b blessings recited throughout the seven-day mourning period b in /b a case where b new faces /b who did not attend the burial are present. In that case, eulogies and words of comfort are repeated, and the blessing of the mourners is recited again.,§ This is b similar /b to b that /b incident b involving Rav Ḥiyya bar Abba, who was the Bible teacher of the sons of Reish Lakish, and some say /b that he was b the Mishna teacher of the son of Reish Lakish. His child died. On the first day, /b Reish Lakish b did not go to /b comfort b him. The next day, he took Yehuda bar Naḥmani, his disseminator, /b with him to comfort Rav Ḥiyya bar Abba. Reish Lakish b said to /b his disseminator: b Stand and say a matter /b of comfort b with regard to /b the death of b the child. He began and said: “And the Lord saw it and He abhorred them, due to the provocation of His sons and His daughters” /b (Deuteronomy 32:19). b A generation in which the fathers abhor the Holy One, Blessed be He, He is angered at their sons and their daughters, and they die when they are small. /b , b And there are /b those who b say /b that the child who died b was /b not a small child, but b a youth, and this is what /b the disseminator b said to him: “Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, nor shall He have compassion on their orphans and widows, for everyone is a flatterer and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks obscenity. For all this His anger is not turned away, and His hand is still outstretched” /b (Isaiah 9:16). b What /b is the meaning of the phrase b “And His hand is still outstretched”? Rav Ḥa bar Rav said: Everyone knows why a bride enters the wedding canopy. /b It is the step before consummation of the marriage. b However, /b one should not speak about it unnecessarily, as b anyone who profanes his mouth and issues a matter of profanity from his mouth, even if a positive decree of seventy years was sealed for him, /b nevertheless, b it is transformed for him into an evil /b decree.,The Gemara asks about this incident: b He came /b at the behest of Reish Lakish b to comfort /b Rav Ḥiyya bar Abba b and /b instead b he upset him /b by attributing the death of his son to his transgressions. The Gemara answers: It was not his intention to upset Rav Ḥiyya bar Abba and to attribute the death of his son to his actions. Rather, b this is what he is saying to him: You are /b sufficiently b significant to be seized, /b i.e., to die or suffer, b for the /b sins of the b generation, /b as it is specifically the righteous few who are punished for the transgressions of a sinful generation.,Reish Lakish b said to his /b disseminator: b Stand and say a statement with regard to the praiseworthiness of the Holy One, Blessed be He. He began and said: God, Who is great in the abundance of His greatness, mighty and strong in the abundance of His awesome /b deeds, b Who revives the dead in /b fulfillment of b His statement, Who does great deeds beyond comprehension, wondrous deeds without number. Blessed are You, Lord, Who revives the dead. /b ,Reish Lakish b said to him: Stand and say a statement with regard to the mourners. He began and said: Our brothers, who are exhausted, who are overwhelmed by this mourning, set your heart to examine this: This is what stands forever. It is a path from the six days of Creation, /b i.e., death exists since Creation, and it is well known that this is the fate of man. b Many have drunk /b from the poisonous cup of death, b and many will drink. As /b was the consequence of the b drink of the first /b who have drunk, b so too /b will be the consequence of the b drink of the last /b who will drink. b Our brothers, may the Master of solace comfort you. Blessed /b are You, Lord, b Who comforts the mourners. /b , b Abaye said /b with regard to the statement concerning the mourners: b Let him say: Many have drunk; let him not say: Many will drink. Let him say: The drink of the first; let him not say: The drink of the last. /b This is b as Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish said, and likewise it was taught in the name of Rabbi Yosei: A person should never open his mouth to Satan /b and speculate about potential disasters. b Rav Yosef said: What is the verse /b from which it is derived? b “We should have almost been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah” /b (Isaiah 1:9), after which, b what did /b the prophet b reply to them? “Hear the word of the Lord, rulers of Sodom; /b give ear unto the law of our God, people of Gomorrah” (Isaiah 1:10). Isaiah drew the analogy and immediately it was realized.,Reish Lakish b said to /b the disseminator: b Stand and say a statement with regard to those who comfort the mourners. He began and said: Our brothers, bestowers of loving-kindness, sons of bestowers of loving-kindness, who embrace the covet of Abraham our Patriarch, as it is stated: “For I know him, that he will command his children… /b to do righteousness and justice” (Genesis 18:19). b Our brothers, may the Master of reward pay you your just deserts. Blessed are You, /b Lord, b Who pays the just deserts. /b ,Reish Lakish b said to /b the disseminator: b Stand and say a statement with regard to the entire Jewish people. He began and said: Master of the worlds, redeem and save, rescue and deliver Your people, Israel, from the pestilence and from the sword, and from spoil, and from the blight, and from the mildew, and from all types of afflictions that suddenly erupt and come to the world. Before we call and You will respond. Blessed are You, /b Lord, b Who halts the plague. /b Apparently, several blessings are recited on the days following the burial.,§ In connection with comforting mourners, b Ulla said, and some say that it was taught in a i baraita /i : The Sages instituted ten cups /b of wine to be drunk b in the house of the mourner: Three /b cups b prior to /b the b meal, in order to open his intestines, /b i.e., whet his appetite; b three during /b the b meal, to soak the food in his intestines /b in order to facilitate digestion; b and four /b cups b after /b the b meal, /b each corresponding to a blessing in the Grace after Meals. b One corresponds to /b the first blessing: b Who feeds /b all; b one corresponds to the /b second blessing, the b blessing of the land; one corresponding to the third blessing: Who builds Jerusalem; and one corresponding to /b the fourth blessing: b Who is good and does good. /b ,Later, the Sages b added to those four /b additional blessings: b One, noting /b the actions of b the attendants of the city [ i ḥazzanei ha’ir /i ], /b who tend to burials and other communal needs; b one, noting /b the actions of b the leaders of the city, /b who would provide funding for the burial of the poor; b one, noting the Temple, /b commemorating its destruction; b and one, noting /b the actions of b Rabban Gamliel. /b The people b began /b observing this ordice instituted by the Sages, b and they would drink and become intoxicated. /b Therefore, the Sages b restored the matter to its previous /b status and established that they drink no more than ten cups., b What /b is the connection between b Rabban Gamlie /b l and a house of mourning? It is b as it is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b Initially, the funeral /b expenditures b for the deceased were more taxing for his relatives than his death, /b as the burials were opulent, b until /b it reached a point where people b would abandon the deceased and flee. /b This continued b until Rabbi Gamliel came and conducted himself in a self-deprecatory /b manner, instructing the people that they were b to take him /b for burial b in /b plain b linen garments. And all the people conducted themselves following his /b example, and instructed their families b to take /b them for burial b in /b plain b linen garments. Rav Pappa said: And today, everyone is accustomed /b to bury the dead in plain garments, b even in rough cloth [ i tzerada /i ] worth one i zuz /i . /b , b Rabbi Elazar said: /b |

In addition, there are two mitzvot: b “I am /b the Lord your God” and: b “You shall have /b no other gods” (Exodus 20:2, 3), the first two of the Ten Commandments, that b we heard from the mouth of the Almighty, /b for a total of 613.,The Gemara provides b a mnemonic /b for the biblical figures cited in the course of the discussion that follows: b i Dalet /i , i mem /i , i shin /i , i mem /i , i kuf /i ; i samekh /i , i kuf /i ; /b representing David, Micah, Isaiah, Amos, Habakkuk, Amos, and Ezekiel.,Rabbi Simlai continued: King b David came and established /b the 613 mitzvot b upon eleven /b mitzvot, b as it is written: “A Psalm of David. Lord, who shall sojourn in Your Tabernacle? Who shall dwell upon Your sacred mountain? He who walks wholeheartedly, and works righteousness, and speaks truth in his heart. Who has no slander upon his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor takes up reproach against his relative. In whose eyes a vile person is despised, and he honors those who fear the Lord; he takes an oath to his own detriment, and changes not. He neither gives his money with interest, nor takes a bribe against the innocent. He who performs these shall never be moved” /b (Psalms, chapter 15). Eleven attributes that facilitate one’s entry into the World-to-Come appear on this list.,The Gemara analyzes these verses: b “He who walks wholeheartedly”; this /b is referring to one who conducts himself like our forefather b Abraham, as it is written /b concerning him: b “Walk before Me and be wholehearted” /b (Genesis 17:1)., b “Works righteousness”; /b this is referring to one b such as Abba Ḥilkiyyahu, /b a laborer who would not pause from his labor even to greet people; he righteously continued working., b “And speaks truth in his heart”; /b this is referring to one b such as Rav Safra, /b who was reciting i Shema /i when a person approached him to purchase an item. He intended to accept the man’s offer, but he was unable to respond because it is prohibited to interrupt the recitation of i Shema /i . The buyer misinterpreted Rav Safra’s silence and concluded that Rav Safra demanded a higher price, so he raised his offer. Rav Safra insisted on selling him the item for the sum that he was offered initially., b “Who has no slander upon his tongue”; this /b is referring to one who conducts himself like b our forefather Jacob, /b who did not want to mislead his father in order to receive his blessings, b as it is written: “Perhaps my father will feel me, and I will be in his eyes like a fraud” /b (Genesis 27:12)., b “Nor does evil to his neighbor”; /b this is referring to one b who did not infringe upon another’s trade, /b constituting illegal competition., b “Nor takes up reproach against his relative”; this /b is referring to b one who draws his relatives near, /b and does not distance them when they embarrass him., b “In whose eyes a vile person is despised”; this /b is referring to one who conducts himself like b King Hezekiah, who dragged the bones of his /b evil b father, /b King Ahaz, b in a bed of ropes, /b because he despised those considered vile by God., b “And he honors those who fear the Lord”; this /b is referring to one who conducts himself like b Jehoshaphat, king of Judea, who when he would see a Torah scholar would arise from his throne and hug him and kiss him, and call him: My father, my father, my teacher, my teacher, my master, my master. /b , b “He takes an oath to his own detriment, and changes not”; /b this is b in accordance with /b the conduct of b Rabbi Yoḥa, as Rabbi Yoḥa /b would b say /b in the form of a vow when seeking to refrain from eating in another’s home: b I shall fast until I will come to my house. /b He would fulfill that vow and refrain from eating, even though he took the vow only to avoid eating in that place., b “He neither gives his money with interest”; /b meaning he does not lend money b with interest even /b to b a gentile, /b which is permitted by Torah law., b “Nor takes a bribe against the innocent”; /b this is referring to one b such as Rabbi Yishmael, son of Rabbi Yosei, /b who refused to sit in judgment in a case involving his sharecropper. Since the latter would bring him a basket of fruit, he was concerned that he might unconsciously favor him.,At the conclusion of the verses, b it is written: “He who performs these shall never be moved.” /b The Gemara relates: b When Rabban Gamliel would reach this verse he would cry, /b and b he said: /b It is b one who performed all /b these actions b who shall never be moved; but /b if he performed only b one of them, he shall be moved. /b ,The Sages b said to him: Is it written: He who performs all these? /b Rather, the phrase b “he who performs these” is written, /b indicating that one is blessed b even in /b a case where he performed b one of them. As if you do not say so, /b compare that to b a different verse /b that b is written /b with regard to severe transgressions punishable by i karet /i : b “Do not impurify yourselves with all these” /b (Leviticus 18:24). Would you say that b there too /b it means that it is b one who comes into contact with all these who becomes impure, /b but b one who comes into contact with one of these, no, /b he does not become impure? b Rather, /b is it b not /b that the phrase “with all these” means: b With one of all these? Here too /b it means that one who performs b one of all these /b has a place in the World-to-Come.,Rabbi Simlai’s exposition continues: b Isaiah came and established /b the 613 mitzvot b upon six, as it is written: “He who walks righteously, and speaks uprightly; he who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands from holding of bribes, who stops his ears from hearing blood, and shuts his eyes from looking upon evil” /b (Isaiah 33:15).,The Gemara elaborates: b “He who walks righteously”; this /b is referring to one who conducts himself like b our forefather Abraham, as it is written /b concerning him: b “For I have known him, that he will command /b his children…to perform righteousness and justice” (Genesis 18:19)., b “And speaks uprightly”; this /b is referring to b one who does not shame another in public. /b , b “He who despises the gain of oppressions”; /b this is referring to one b such as Rabbi Yishmael ben Elisha, /b who refused to sit in judgment in a case involving one who gave him priestly gifts, to avoid the appearance of impropriety., b “Who shakes his hands from holding of bribes”; /b this is referring to one b such as Rabbi Yishmael, son of Rabbi Yosei, /b who, as explained above, refused to sit in judgment in a case involving his sharecropper., b “Who stops his ears from hearing blood”; /b this is referring to one b who /b would b not hear derision of a Torah scholar and remain silent, such as Rabbi Elazar, son of Rabbi Shimon, /b who was well known for this., b “And shuts his eyes from looking upon evil” /b is to be understood b in accordance with /b the statement of b Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Abba, as Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Abba says: This /b is referring to one b who does not look at women when they stand over the laundry /b at the river. The women would lift the garments they were wearing to keep them out of the water, and thereby expose part of their bodies., b And it is written /b with regard to one who performs these matters: b “He shall dwell on high; /b his fortress shall be the munitions of rocks; his bread shall be given, his waters shall be sure” (Isaiah 33:16)., b Micah came and established /b the 613 mitzvot b upon three, as it is written: “It has been told to you, O man, what is good, and what the Lord does require of you; only to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God” /b (Micah 6:8).,The Gemara elaborates: b “To do justly,” this /b is b justice; “to love mercy,” this /b is an allusion to b acts of loving-kindness; “and to walk humbly with your God,” this /b is an allusion to b taking the /b indigent b dead out /b for burial b and accompanying /b a poor b bride /b to her wedding canopy, both of which are to be performed without fanfare glorifying the doer. The Gemara notes: b And are /b these b matters not /b inferred b i a fortiori /i ? If, /b with regard to b matters that tend to be conducted in public, /b e.g., funerals and weddings, b the Torah states “walk humbly” /b when doing them, then in b matters that tend to be conducted in private, /b e.g., charity and Torah study, b all the more so /b should they be conducted b in private. /b , b Isaiah then established /b the 613 mitzvot b upon two, as it is stated: “So says the Lord: Observe justice and perform righteous-ness” /b (Isaiah 56:1). b Amos came and established /b the 613 mitzvot b upon one, as it is stated: “So says the Lord to the house of Israel: Seek Me and live” /b (Amos 5:4). b Rav Naḥman bar Yitzḥak objects to this: /b There is no proof that the verse in Amos is establishing all the mitzvot upon one; b say /b that Amos is saying: b Seek Me throughout the entire Torah, /b as the verse does not specify the manner in which one should seek the Lord. b Rather, /b say: b Habakkuk came and established /b the 613 mitzvot b upon one, as it is stated: “But the righteous person shall live by his faith” /b (Habakkuk 2:4).,§ b Rabbi Yosei bar Ḥanina says: Moses our teacher issued four decrees upon the Jewish people, /b and b four prophets came and revoked them. Moses said: “And Israel dwells in safety, the fountain [ i ein /i ] of Jacob alone” /b (Deuteronomy 33:28), indicating that the Jewish people will dwell in safety only when they reach a lofty spiritual level similar to [ i me’ein /i ] that of Jacob our forefather. b Amos came and revoked it, as it is stated: /b “Lord God, b cease, I beseech You; how shall Jacob stand, /b as he is small” (Amos 7:5), b and /b immediately afterward b it states: “The Lord regretted this; /b it too shall not be, says the Lord God” (Amos 7:6)., b Moses said: “And among these nations you shall have no repose” /b (Deuteronomy 28:65). b Jeremiah came /b and revoked it, b and said: “Even Israel, when I go to cause him to rest” /b (Jeremiah 31:1), indicating that the Jewish people will find rest even in exile., b Moses said: “He visits the transgression of the fathers upon the sons” /b (Exodus 34:7). b Ezekiel came and revoked it: “The soul that sins, it shall die” /b (Ezekiel 18:4), and not the children of that soul., b Moses said: “And you shall be lost among the nations” /b (Leviticus 26:38). b Isaiah came /b and revoked it, b and said: “And it shall be on that day the great shofar shall be sounded, /b and those lost in the land of Assyria shall come” (Isaiah 27:13)., b Rav says: I am afraid of that verse: “And you shall be lost among the nations.” Rav Pappa objects to this: Perhaps /b it means that the Jewish people will be b like a lost item that is sought /b by its owner, and God will restore those lost in exile, b as it is written: “I have gone astray like a lost lamb; seek Your servant” /b (Psalms 119:176). b Rather, /b Rav was afraid b from /b that which is written in b the latter /b portion b of that verse, /b where it is written: b “And the land of your enemies shall consume you.” Mar Zutra objects to this: Perhaps /b it means b like the consumption of cucumbers and gourds, /b which are not consumed in their entirety. Some is left over, from which additional plants can grow.,§ Apropos tribulations of exile and hope for redemption, the Gemara relates: b And it once was that Rabban Gamliel, Rabbi Elazar ben Azarya, Rabbi Yehoshua, and Rabbi Akiva were walking along the road /b in the Roman Empire, b and they heard the sound of the multitudes of Rome from Puteoli at a distance of one hundred and twenty i mil /i . /b The city was so large that they were able to hear its tumult from a great distance. b And /b the other Sages b began weeping and Rabbi Akiva /b was b laughing. They said to him: For what /b reason b are you laughing? /b Rabbi Akiva b said to them: And you, for what /b reason b are you weeping? They said to him: These gentiles, who bow to false gods and burn incense to idols, dwell securely and tranquilly /b in this colossal city, b and /b for b us, the House of the footstool of our God, /b the Temple, b is burnt /b |

The phrase “shall be” alludes to the fact that a betrothal with her takes effect. The verse teaches that b even at the time of her /b menstrual b impurity, betrothal with her takes effect. /b ,With regard to b a i sota /i , too, /b the offspring is not a i mamzer /i b because /b one’s b betrothal of her takes effect. /b ,The Gemara notes: b This /b teaching of Abaye b is also taught /b in a i baraita /i : b All agree with regard to one who engages in sexual relations with a menstruating woman, or with a i sota /i , or with a widow waiting for her i yavam /i /b to perform levirate marriage, b that the offspring is not a i mamzer /i . /b ,The Gemara explains: b And Abaye /b did not mention the case of a b widow waiting for her i yavam /i /b because b he is uncertain whether, /b if someone other than the i yavam /i betrothed her, the i halakha /i is b in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rav /b that it does not take effect or b in accordance with /b the opinion of b Shmuel /b that it might take effect.,§ The mishna states: b Rabbi Shimon ben Azzai said: /b I found a scroll recording people’s lineages. The Gemara cites an expanded version of the contents of the scroll. b It is taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi Shimon ben Azzai said: I found a scroll /b recording people’s b lineages, in Jerusalem, and it was written in it /b that b so-and-so is a i mamzer /i from /b an adulterous union with b a married woman. And it was /b also b written in it: The teachings of Rabbi Eliezer ben Ya’akov /b measure only b a i kav /i but are clean /b and accurate, and so the i halakha /i is decided in accordance with his opinions. b And it was written in it: Manasseh, /b king of Israel, b killed Isaiah /b the prophet.,The Gemara expands on the events surrounding Isaiah’s death: b Rava said: /b Manasseh b judged him /b as a false witness for issuing statements contradicting the Torah b and /b only then b killed him. /b Manasseh b said to /b Isaiah: b Moses your master said /b in the Torah: “And He said: You cannot see My face, b for man cannot see Me and live” /b (Exodus 33:20), b and /b yet b you said: “I saw the Lord sitting upon a high and lofty throne” /b (Isaiah 6:1). b Moses your master said: /b “For b which /b great nation is there, that has God so near to it, b as the Lord our God is, whenever we call upon Him?” /b (Deuteronomy 4:7), b and /b yet b you said: “Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near” /b (Isaiah 55:6), which implies that God is not always near. b Moses your master said: “I will fulfill the number of your days” /b (Exodus 23:26), which implies that each individual has a preordained allotted lifespan that he cannot outlive, b and /b yet b you said /b in a prophecy to King Hezekiah: b “And I will add to your days, fifteen years” /b (II Kings 20:6)., b Isaiah said /b to himself: b I know him, /b i.e., Manasseh, b that he will not accept whatever /b explanation b that I will say to him /b to resolve my prophecies with the words of the Torah. b And /b even b if I say it to him, I will make him into an intentional transgressor /b since he will kill me anyway. Therefore, in order to escape, b he uttered a /b divine b name /b and b was swallowed within a cedar /b tree. Manasseh’s servants b brought the cedar /b tree b and sawed through it /b in order to kill him. b When /b the saw b reached to where his mouth was, /b Isaiah b died. /b He died specifically as this point b due to that which he said: “In the midst of a people of unclean lips, I dwell” /b (Isaiah 6:5). He was punished for referring to the Jewish people in a derogatory manner.,The Gemara asks: b In any case, /b as Manasseh pointed out, these b verses contradict each other; /b how are these contradictions to be resolved?,The Gemara resolves the first contradiction: b “I saw the Lord” /b is to be understood b as it is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b All of the prophets observed /b their prophecies b through an obscure looking glass [ i aspaklaria /i ], /b i.e., their prophecies were given as metaphoric visions but were not a direct perception of the matter. However, b Moses our master observed /b his prophecies b through a clear looking glass, /b i.e., he gained a direct and accurate perception of the matter.,The Gemara resolves the second contradiction: Isaiah’s prophecy: b “Seek the Lord while He may be found,” /b does not contradict the verse in the Torah that God is near to His nation “whenever we call upon Him,” because b this /b prophecy of Isaiah was made b with regard to the individual /b and b this /b verse in the Torah is stated b with regard to a community, /b as the prayer of the community is always accepted. The Gemara asks: b And when /b is the time that God is to be found near b the individual? Rav Naḥman said Rabba bar Avuh said: These are the ten days between Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur. /b ,The resolution of the third contradiction from the verse: b “I will fulfill the number of your days,” is /b subject to a dispute between b i tanna’im /i , as it is taught /b in a i baraita /i : The verse states: b “I will fulfill the number of your days”; /b |

This teaches that the reason Boaz did not return home from the threshing floor was that a Torah scholar should not go out alone at night., b Rabbi Abbahu said /b that the source is b from here: “And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled /b his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place that God had told him” (Genesis 22:3). The fact that Abraham waited until morning and did not set off at night, even though others were traveling with him, indicates that a Torah scholar should not go out at night at all, and certainly not alone., b And the Rabbis say /b that the source is b from here, /b the verse that describes when Jacob sent Joseph to his brothers: “And he said to him: b Go now, see whether it is well with you brothers and well /b with the flock; and bring me back word. So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem” (Genesis 37:14). The verse indicates that Jacob sent Joseph at a time when he could see his brothers, i.e., during the day. This shows that a Torah scholar should not go out alone at night., b Rav said /b that the source is b from here: “And the sun rose for him /b as he passed over Peniel, and he limped upon his thigh” (Genesis 32:32). This indicates that Jacob remained where he was all night and left in the morning, because a Torah scholar should not go out alone at night.,The Gemara cites an incident involving the final verse cited above. b Rabbi Akiva says: I asked /b the following question of b Rabban Gamliel and Rabbi Yehoshua in the meat market [ i be’itliz /i ] of /b the town b Emmaus, where they went to purchase an animal for the /b wedding b feast of Rabban Gamliel’s son: It is written /b in the verse: b “And the sun shone for him /b when he passed Peniel, and he limped upon his thigh” (Genesis 32:32). b But did the sun shine only for him? Didn’t it shine for the entire world? /b , b Rabbi Yitzḥak says: /b The verse means that b the sun, which set /b early exclusively b for him, /b also b shone /b early exclusively b for him /b in order to rectify the disparity created by the premature sunset. The Gemara explains when the sun set early for him: b As it is written: “And Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran” /b (Genesis 28:10). b And it is written /b thereafter: b “And he encountered the place, /b and he slept there, because the sun had set” (Genesis 28:11). b When /b Jacob b arrived at Haran, he said: /b Is it b possible /b that b I passed a place where my fathers prayed and I did not pray /b there? b When he set his mind to return, the land contracted for him. Immediately /b the verse states: b “And he encountered the place,” /b indicating that he arrived there miraculously., b When he /b had finished b praying /b and b he wanted to return /b to Haran, b the Holy One, Blessed be He, said: This righteous man came to my lodging place and he will depart without remaining overnight? Immediately, the sun set /b before its proper time so that Jacob would stay overnight in that place.,The Gemara cites another exposition of Rabbi Yitzḥak to explain an apparent contradiction between two verses pertaining to this incident. b It is written: “And he took of the stones of the place, /b and placed them under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep” (Genesis 28:11). b And it is written: /b “And Jacob rose up early in the morning, b and he took the stone /b that he had placed under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it” (Genesis 28:18). The first verse indicates that Jacob took several stones, whereas the latter verse indicates that he took only one stone. b Rabbi Yitzḥak says: /b This b teaches that all those stones gathered to one place and each one said: /b Let b this righteous man place his head upon me. /b And it was b taught: And all of them were absorbed into one /b large rock.,The Gemara expounds other verses pertaining to the same incident. The verse states: b “And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, /b and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it” (Genesis 28:12). It was b taught: How wide was the ladder? /b It was b eight thousand parasangs [ i parsaot /i ], as it is written: “And behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.” /b The word b “ascending [ i olim /i ],” /b written in plural, indicates that there were b two /b angels ascending simultaneously. Likewise, the term b “and descending [ i veyordim /i ],” /b also in the plural, indicates that b two /b angels were descending simultaneously. b And when they met one another they were /b a total of b four /b in one place, so the ladder must have been wide enough to accommodate four angels., b And it is written /b in a verse b with regard to an angel: “His body was like Tarshish” /b (Daniel 10:6). b And /b it b is learned /b as a tradition b that /b the city of b Tarshish was two thousand parasangs. /b Consequently, in order to accommodate four angels, the ladder must have been eight thousands parasangs wide.,It was b taught /b that the angels were b ascending and gazing at the image of [ i bidyokeno /i ] /b Jacob b above, /b engraved on the Throne of Glory, b and descending and gazing at his image below. /b The angels subsequently became jealous of Jacob, and b wanted to endanger /b his life. b Immediately /b Jacob received divine protection, as the verse states: b “And behold, the Lord stood over him” /b (Genesis 28:13). b Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish says: Were it not written /b in a b verse it would be impossible to utter it, /b in deference to God, since it describes God as standing over Jacob to protect him from the angels b like a man who waves /b a fan b over his son /b to cool him down.,The Gemara explains another verse from Jacob’s dream. “And behold, the Lord stood over him and said: I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. b The land upon which you lie, /b to you will I give it, and to your seed” (Genesis 28:13). The Gemara asks: b What is the greatness /b of this promise, i.e., why is it expressed in this way despite the fact that in a literal sense Jacob was lying on a very small amount of land? b Rabbi Yitzḥak says: /b This b teaches that the Holy One, Blessed be He, folded /b up b the entirety of Eretz Yisrael and placed it under Jacob, our patriarch, so that it would be easy for his children to conquer. /b ,The Gemara returns to the verses that describe Jacob wrestling with the angel. b “And he said: Let me go, for the dawn has risen. /b And he said: I will not let you go until you bless me” (Genesis 32:27). Jacob b said to /b the angel: b Are you a thief, or are you a gambler [ i kuveyustus /i ], who is afraid of dawn? /b The angel b said to him: I am an angel, and from the day I was created my time to recite a song /b before God b has not arrived, until now. /b Now I must ascend so that I can sing songs of praise to God.,The Gemara comments: This b supports /b the opinion b of Rav Ḥael /b when he related what b Rav said. As Rav Ḥael said /b that b Rav said: Three groups of ministering angels recite a song every day /b from the verse “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord”; b one says: “Holy,” and /b another b one says: “Holy,” and /b another b one says: “Holy is the Lord of hosts; /b the whole earth is full of His glory” (Isaiah 6:3).,The Gemara b raises an objection /b from the following i baraita /i : b The Jewish people are more dear to the Holy One, Blessed be He, than the ministering angels, as the Jewish people /b may b recite a song /b of praise to God b at any time, but ministering angels recite a song /b of praise b only one time per day. And some say /b that the ministering angels recite a song of praise b one time per week. And some say /b that they recite a song of praise b one time per month. And some say /b that they recite a song of praise b one time per year. And some say /b that they recite a song of praise b one time in /b every b seven years. And some say /b that they recite a song of praise b one time per Jubilee. And some say /b that they recite a song of praise b one time in /b the entire history of b the world. /b , b And /b furthermore, b the Jewish people mention the name /b of God b after two words, as it is stated: “Hear, Israel: The Lord /b our God, the Lord is one” (Deuteronomy 6:4). b But the ministering angels mention the name /b of God b only after three words, as it is written: /b “And one called unto another, and said: b “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; /b the whole earth is full of His glory” (Isaiah 6:3)., b And the ministering angels do not recite /b their b song above until the Jewish people recite /b their song b below, /b on earth, b as it is stated: “When the morning stars sang together” /b (Job 38:7), referring to the Jewish people, who are compared to stars; b and /b only b then /b does the verse state: b “And all the sons of God shouted for joy,” /b which is a reference to the angels. This i baraita /i teaches that the angels mention the name of God only after three words, i.e., after saying the word “holy” three times, whereas according to what Rav Ḥael stated that Rav said, the third group of angels says the word “holy” once and then immediately mentions the name of God.,The Gemara emends Rav Ḥael’s statement citing Rav: b Rather, /b Rav said that b one /b group of ministering angels b says: “Holy,” and /b another b one says: “Holy, holy,” and /b another b one says: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts.” /b The Gemara challenges the statement of the i baraita /i that the angels mention the name of God only after three words: b But there is /b the verse: “Then a spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing: b Blessed be /b the glory of the Lord from His place” (Ezekiel 3:12). In this praise, “Blessed be the glory of the Lord,” the word “Lord” appears as the third Hebrew word, apparently uttered by the ministering angels. |

An answer b was not /b readily b available to him. He came and asked Rabbi Yitzḥak Nappaḥa, /b who b said to him: After them read /b the b Torah scholars who are appointed as leaders [ i parnasim /i ] of the community. And after them /b read b Torah scholars who are fit to be appointed as leaders of the community, /b even if in practice they received no such appointment. The Sages said that a Torah scholar who knows how to answer any question asked of him is fit to be appointed as leader of the community. b And after them /b read b the sons of Torah scholars whose fathers were appointed as leaders of the community. And after them /b read b the heads of synagogues, and /b after them b any person. /b , b The people of the Galilee sent /b a question b to Rabbi Ḥelbo: What is /b the i halakha /i with regard b to reading from i ḥumashim /i , /b i.e., scrolls containing only one of the five books of the Torah, b in the synagogue in public? /b Is this permitted, or is it necessary to read from a complete Torah scroll? An answer b was not /b readily b available to him. He came and asked Rabbi Yitzḥak Nappaḥa, /b but an answer b was not /b readily b available to him /b either. Rabbi Yitzḥak Nappaḥa b came and asked /b this question b in the study hall, and they resolved /b the difficulty b from that which Rabbi Shmuel bar Naḥmani says /b that b Rabbi Yoḥa says: /b With regard to b a Torah scroll that is missing /b even b one sheet /b of parchment, b one may not read from it /b in public. This indicates that an incomplete Torah scroll may not be used for a public Torah reading.,The Gemara rejects this argument: b But /b that b is not so, /b i.e., this cannot serve as a proof to the matter at hand. b There, /b it is b lacking /b part b of the matter /b it is addressing, as a sheet of parchment is missing, whereas b here, it is not lacking /b part b of the matter /b it is addressing, as it contains a complete book. b Rabba and Rav Yosef both say: One does not read from i ḥumashim /i in the synagogue out of respect for the community. /b , b And Rabba and Rav Yosef both say: It is prohibited to /b publicly b read /b the i haftara /i , the portion from the Prophets that is read after the weekly Torah portion, b on Shabbat, from a scroll /b containing only b the i haftarot /i . What is the reason /b for this? It is b because /b this type of scroll b may not be written, /b as the words of the Prophets must also be written as complete books., b Mar bar Rav Ashi said: To handle /b such a scroll on Shabbat b is also prohibited. What is the reason /b for this? It is b because it is not fit to be read. /b Consequently, it is treated as set-aside [ i muktze /i ] on Shabbat. The Gemara rejects this argument: b But /b that b is not so; /b rather, b it is permitted to handle /b such a scroll b and it is permitted to read from it. /b ,And a proof for this is b that Rabbi Yoḥa and Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish used to read from a scroll of i aggada /i /b containing the words of the Sages b on Shabbat. But /b such a scroll b may not be written, /b for in principle, the statements of the Oral Law may not be committed to writing. b Rather, since it is not possible /b to remember the Oral Law without writing it down, it is permitted to violate the i halakha /i , as indicated by the verse: b “It is time to act for the Lord; they have nullified your Torah” /b (Psalms 119:126). b Here too, /b in the case of a i haftara /i scroll, b since it is not /b always b possible /b to write complete books of the Bible, due to the expense, it is permitted to apply the reasoning of b “It is time to act for the Lord; they have nullified your Torah.” /b , b Abaye raised a dilemma before Rabba: What is /b the i halakha /i with regard to whether it is permitted b to write a scroll /b containing only one portion of the Torah b for /b the purpose of enabling b a child to study it? /b The Gemara notes: b Let the dilemma be raised according to the one who says /b that b the Torah was given /b from the outset b scroll by scroll, /b meaning that Moses would teach the Jewish people one portion of the Torah, and then write it down, and then teach them the next portion of the Torah, and then write that down, and continue in this way until he committed the entire Torah to writing. And b let the dilemma /b also b be raised according to the one who says /b that b the Torah was given /b as b a complete /b book, meaning that the Torah was not written down incrementally, but rather, after teaching the Jewish people the entire Torah, Moses committed it to writing all at once.,The Gemara explains the two sides of the dilemma according to each opinion: b Let the dilemma be raised according to the one who says /b that b the Torah was given scroll by scroll. /b On the one hand it is possible to say that b since /b the Torah b was /b originally b given scroll by scroll, /b today as well b one may write /b the Torah in separate scrolls. b Or /b on the other hand, b perhaps /b one should say that b since it was /b ultimately b joined /b together to form a single scroll, b it was joined /b together and can no longer be written in separate scrolls.,And b let the dilemma /b also b be raised according to the one who says /b that b the Torah was given /b as b a complete /b book. On the one hand it is possible to say that b since it was given /b from the outset as b a complete /b book, b one may not write /b it today in separate scrolls. b Or /b on the other hand, b perhaps /b one could say that b since it is not /b always b possible /b to write a complete Torah, b one may write /b it in separate scrolls. Rabba b said to him: One may not write /b the Torah in separate scrolls. b And what is the reason? Because one may not write /b a scroll that is only part of the Torah.,Abaye b raised an objection to his /b opinion from a mishna ( i Yoma /i 37b) where it was taught: Queen Helene b also fashioned a golden tablet /b as a gift for the Temple b on which the /b Torah b portion /b discussing b a i sota /i was written. /b When the priest would write the scroll of a i sota /i in the Temple, he would copy this Torah portion from the tablet, so that a Torah scroll need not be taken out for that purpose. This indicates that it is permitted for one to write a single portion of the Torah. b Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish says in the name of Rabbi Yannai: /b There is no proof from this mishna, as the tablet prepared by Queen Helene was not written in an ordinary manner, but rather it consisted of the letters b of /b the b i alef-beit /i , /b i.e., only the first letter of each word was written on the tablet, and by looking at it the priest writing the i sota /i scroll would remember what to write.,The Gemara b raised an objection /b from a i baraita /i that teaches: b When /b the priest b writes /b the i sota /i scroll, b he looks /b at b and writes that which is written on the tablet, /b which indicates that the full text of the passage was written on the tablet. The Gemara rejects this argument: Emend the i baraita /i and b say /b that it should read as follows: He looks at and writes b like that which is written on the tablet. /b The tablet aids the priest in remembering the text that must actually be written.,The Gemara b raised an objection /b from a different i baraita /i : b When he writes, he looks at the tablet and writes that which is written on the tablet. /b And b what is written on the tablet? “If /b a man b lay /b with you…and b if he did not lay /b with you” (see Numbers 5:19). Apparently, the full text of the passage was written on the tablet. The Gemara answers: b With what are we dealing here? /b The tablet fashioned by Queen Helene was written b by alternating /b complete words and initials. The first words of each verse were written there, but the rest of the words in the verse were represented by initials. Therefore, this contribution of Queen Helene does not resolve the question of whether writing a scroll for a child is permitted.,The Gemara comments: The question of whether or not writing a scroll for a child is permitted is b subject to /b a dispute between b i tanna’im /i , /b as it is taught in the following i baraita /i : b One may not write a scroll /b containing only one portion of the Torah b for /b the purpose of enabling b a child to study, but if /b the writer’s b intention is to complete /b the scroll, b it is permitted. Rabbi Yehuda says: In /b the book of b Genesis /b he may write a scroll from the beginning b until the generation of the flood. In i Torat Kohanim /i , /b the book of Leviticus, he may write a scroll from the beginning b until “And it came to pass on the eighth day” /b (Leviticus 9:1).,The Gemara returns to discuss the previously mentioned dispute. b Rabbi Yoḥa says in the name of Rabbi Bana’a: The Torah was given /b from the outset b scroll by scroll, as it is stated: “Then I said, behold, I come with the scroll of the book that is written for me” /b (Psalms 40:8). King David is saying about himself that there is a section of the Torah, “the scroll of the book,” that alludes to him, i.e., “that is written for me.” This indicates that each portion of the Torah constitutes a separate scroll. b Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish says: The Torah was given /b as b a complete /b book, b as it is stated: “Take this scroll of the Torah” /b (Deuteronomy 31:26), which teaches that from the outset the Torah was given as a complete unit.,The Gemara asks: b And /b according to b the other /b Sage, Rabbi Yoḥa, b as well, isn’t it written “take,” /b indicating that the Torah scroll was given whole? How does he explain this verse? The Gemara answers: b That /b verse is speaking about the Torah b after it was joined /b together to form a single unit.,The Gemara asks: b And /b according to b the other /b Sage, Reish Lakish, b as well, isn’t it written: “With the scroll of the book that is written for me,” /b indicating that the Torah was given scroll by scroll? How does he explain this verse? The Gemara answers: b That /b verse teaches that b the entire Torah is called a scroll. /b This is indicated in another verse as well, b as it is written: “And He said to me: What do you see? And I said: I see a flying scroll” /b (Zechariah 5:2)., b Alternatively, /b this verse serves to allude b to /b the sections of the Torah discussed in b that /b statement b of Rabbi Levi, as Rabbi Levi says: Eight sections were said on the day that the Tabernacle was erected, /b on the first of Nisan. b They are: The section of the priests /b (Leviticus 21:1–22:26); b the section of the Levites /b (Numbers 8:5–26); b the section of the impure /b (Leviticus 13:1– 14:57); b the section of the sending away of the impure /b (Numbers 5:1–4); b the section /b beginning with the words b “After the death” /b (Leviticus, chapter 16); |

The Gemara vocalizes the word i ohalim /i , tents, rather than i ahalim /i . They are juxtaposed in order b to tell you: Just as streams elevate a person from ritual impurity to purity /b after he immerses himself in their water, b so too tents /b of Torah b elevate a person from the scale of guilt to the scale of merit. /b ,We learned in our mishna: b One who recited /b i Shema /i b out of order did not fulfill /b his obligation. One who recited and erred, should return to the place in i Shema /i that he erred.,With regard to an error in the recitation of i Shema /i , the Gemara recounts: b Rabbi Ami and Rabbi Asi were once tying a wedding canopy /b in preparation b for /b the wedding of b Rabbi Elazar. He said to them: In the meantime, /b until you finish, b I will go and hear something in the study hall, and I will come and say it to you. He went and found the i tanna /i /b who recited i mishnayot /i in the study hall, b who was reciting /b this i Tosefta /i b before Rabbi Yoḥa: /b , b One who recited /b i Shema /i b and erred, and does not know where /b exactly b he erred; /b if he was b in the middle of a paragraph /b when he realized his error, b he must return to the beginning /b of the paragraph; b if /b he was b between one paragraph and another /b when he realized his error but does not remember between which paragraphs, b he must return to the first /b break between b paragraphs. /b Similarly, b if one erred between writing and writing, /b i.e., between the verse: “And you shall write them on the door posts of your house and on your gates” (Deuteronomy 6:9) in the first paragraph and the identical verse (Deuteronomy 11:20) in the second paragraph, b he must return to the first writing. /b , b Rabbi Yoḥa said to him: They only taught /b this i halakha /i in a case b where one did not /b yet b begin: “In order to lengthen your days” /b (Deuteronomy 11:21) which follows that verse at the end of the second paragraph. b However, if he /b already b began /b to recite: b In order to lengthen your days, /b he can assume that b he assumed his routine and continued /b and completed the second paragraph.,Rabbi Elazar b came and told /b Rabbi Ami and Rabbi Asi what he heard. b They said to him: Had we come only to hear this, it would have been sufficient. /b , strong MISHNA: /strong The primary issue in this mishna is the requisite degree of concentration when reciting i Shema /i . b Laborers /b engaged in their work may b recite /b i Shema /i while standing b atop the tree or atop the course of stones /b in a wall under construction, b which they are not permitted to do for /b the i Amida /i b prayer, /b which requires intent of the heart.,The mishna continues: b A groom is exempt from the recitation of i Shema /i on the first night /b of his marriage, which was generally Wednesday night, b until Saturday night, if he has not taken action /b and consummated the marriage, as he is preoccupied by concerns related to consummation of the marriage. The mishna relates that b there was an incident where Rabban Gamliel married a woman and recited /b i Shema /i even b the first night. His students said to him: Didn’t our teacher teach us that a groom is exempt from the recitation of i Shema /i ? He answered them: /b Nevertheless, b I am not listening to you /b to refrain from reciting i Shema /i , and in so doing b preclude myself from /b the acceptance of b the yoke of the Kingdom of Heaven, for even one moment. /b , strong GEMARA: /strong With regard to laborers, b the Sages taught /b in a i Tosefta /i : b Laborers, /b while engaged in their labor, may b recite /b i Shema /i while standing b atop the tree or atop the course of stones /b in a wall under construction. b And they /b may b pray atop the olive tree or the fig tree, /b as those trees have many branches close together, so one could stand on them and focus properly while praying. In the case of b all the rest of the trees, /b however, b they must climb down and pray. /b However, b the homeowner, /b who is self-employed, b in all cases, /b regardless of the type of tree, b must climb down and pray, as he will be unable to focus appropriately. /b Since, in contrast to the laborers, it is his prerogative to climb down and pray, the Sages did not permit him to pray atop the tree., b Rav Mari, son of the daughter of Shmuel, raised a contradiction before Rava: We learned /b in our mishna: b Laborers may recite /b i Shema /i b atop the tree or atop the course of stones /b in a wall under construction. b We see that he does not require intent, /b simple recitation is sufficient. b And he raised a contradiction /b from the verbal analogy taught in a i baraita /i : b One who recites i Shema /i must focus his heart, as it is stated: “Hear [ i Shema /i ], Israel.” And below, /b later in Deuteronomy, b it says: “Pay attention, and hear [ i shema /i ], Israel” /b (Deuteronomy 27:9). b Just as there /b one must b pay attention, so too here /b one must b pay attention. /b ,Rava b was silent /b as he had no response. But b he said to him: Have you heard anything on this /b matter? b He replied: Rav Sheshet said as follows: And this /b i halakha /i , that laborers may recite i Shema /i atop the tree only applies b when they are idle from their work and recite /b it so they can focus their hearts.,The Gemara challenges this: b But wasn’t it taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Beit Hillel say: /b Laborers b engage in their labor and recite /b i Shema /i ?,The Gemara responds: b This is not difficult. This, /b which says that laborers must be idle from their labor, is referring to a case when they are reciting b the first paragraph /b of i Shema /i , b while that, /b which says that they may continue to work, is in a case when they are reciting b the second paragraph. /b , b The Sages taught /b in a i Tosefta /i : b Laborers who were working for a homeowner /b are obligated to b recite i Shema /i and recite the blessings before it and after it; and /b when they b eat their bread they /b are obligated to b recite the blessing before and after it; and they /b are obligated to b recite the i Amida /i prayer. However, they do not descend before the ark /b as communal prayer leaders b and /b the priests among them b do not lift their hands /b to recite the Priestly Blessing, so as not to be derelict in the duties they were hired to perform.,The Gemara challenges this: b Didn’t we learn /b in a different i baraita /i that laborers recite an abridged prayer consisting of b a microcosm of the i Amida /i prayer /b in place of the full i Amida /i prayer? b Rav Sheshet said: This is not difficult. This /b i baraita /i obligating laborers to recite the full i Amida /i prayer is in accordance with the opinion of b Rabban Gamliel, /b as he holds that one must always recite the full eighteen blessings. b This /b i baraita /i which allows laborers to abridge their prayers is in accordance with the opinion of b Rabbi Yehoshua, /b who permits one to abridge the i Amida /i prayer.,The Gemara objects: But b if /b this i baraita /i is in accordance with the opinion of b Rabbi Yehoshua, why /b did the i baraita /i b discuss /b a case involving b laborers /b in particular? Rabbi Yehoshua holds that b every person may also /b recite an abridged version of the i Amida /i prayer., b Rather, /b we must say that b this /b i baraita /i and b that /b i baraita /i are both in accordance with the opinion of b Rabban Gamliel, and this is not difficult: Here, /b in the i baraita /i where laborers pray the abridged version of the i Amida /i prayer, refers to a case b where /b laborers b work for their wage /b beyond the meal provided by their employer; b while here, /b in the i baraita /i where laborers must pray the full i Amida /i prayer, refers to a case b where /b laborers b work /b only b for their meal. /b , b And /b indeed b it was taught /b in a i baraita /i : b Laborers who were performing labor for the homeowner recite i Shema /i and pray; and /b when they b eat their bread they do not recite a blessing beforehand /b because the blessing recited before food is only an obligation by rabbinic law, b but they recite two /b of the three blessings normally recited in b the blessing thereafter, /b the Grace after Meals, which is an obligation by Torah law. b How so? The first blessing /b is recited b in its standard /b formula; b the second blessing, he begins /b to recite b the blessing of the land and they include /b the blessing: b Who builds Jerusalem within the blessing of the land, /b at which point they conclude the Grace after Meals., b In what /b case b is this said? /b This is said b with regard to /b laborers b who work for their wage, but /b if they b work for their meal or if the homeowner reclined /b and ate the meal b with them, they recite the blessings in their standard /b formula.,We learned in the mishna that b a groom is exempt from the recitation of i Shema /i /b on the first night of his marriage. b The Sages taught /b the source of this i halakha /i in a i baraita /i based on the verse: “When you sit in your home, and when you walk along the way.” b When you sit in your home, to the exclusion of one who is engaged in /b performance of a b mitzva, /b who is exempt from the recitation of i Shema /i ; b and when you walk along the way, to the exclusion of a groom, /b who is also exempt from the recitation of i Shema /i . The i baraita /i adds that b from here, /b from this interpretation of the verses, b they said: One who marries a virgin is exempt /b from the recitation of i Shema /i on his wedding night, b but one who marries a widow is obligated. /b ,The Gemara clarifies the meaning of this baraita, and asks: b From where is it inferred /b that the verse: “When you walk along the way,” enables us to derive that a groom is exempt from the obligation to recite Shema? b Rav Pappa said /b that it is derived: b Like the way; just as /b the journey along a specific b way /b described in the verse b is voluntary /b and involves no mitzva, b so too all /b of those who are obligated to recite i Shema /i are engaged in b voluntary activities. /b However, one engaged in performance of a mitzva is exempt from the obligation to recite i Shema /i .,The Gemara asks: b Are we not dealing with /b a case where one is walking along b on his way to /b perform b a mitzva; nevertheless, the Torah said to recite /b i Shema /i , indicating that he is obligated even if he set out to perform a mitzva.,The Gemara explains: b If so, /b that the intention was to obligate in all cases, b let the Torah say: When walking /b along the way. b What is /b the meaning of: b When you walk /b along the way? b Conclude from this: It is /b in a case b of your walking, /b meaning that when you do this for your own purposes and of your own volition, b you are obligated /b to recite i Shema /i , b but /b when you go with the objective b of /b performing a b mitzva, you are exempt. /b |

The Gemara asks: b And /b as for b the Sages, what is the reason /b for their opinion? b The verse states: “Hear, /b O Israel” (Deuteronomy 6:4), which could also be translated, “Understand, O Israel,” indicating that you may recite these words b in any language that you hear, /b i.e., understand.,The Gemara asks: b And /b according to b Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi b as well, isn’t it /b indeed b written, “hear”? /b What does he learn from this word, if not that the i Shema /i may be recited in any language? The Gemara answers: b This /b word b is necessary /b to teach something else: b Make heard to your ears what your mouth is saying, /b i.e., the i Shema /i must be recited audibly, not merely thought in one’s heart. The Gemara asks: b And /b how do b the Sages /b know this? The Gemara explains: They b hold like the one who said /b that if b one recites the i Shema /i but does not make it audible to his ears, he has /b nevertheless b fulfilled /b his obligation.,The Gemara asks: b And /b according to b the Sages as well, isn’t it /b indeed b written, “And /b these words b shall be”? /b What do they learn from this, if not that the i Shema /i must be recited in Hebrew? The Gemara answers: b That /b word b is necessary /b to teach b that one must not recite /b the words of the i Shema /i b out of order, /b but they “shall be” as they are, in the proper order. The Gemara asks: b And from where does Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi learn b that one must not recite /b the i Shema /i b out of order? /b The Gemara answers: He derives it from the fact that the verse does not say just: b Words, /b but b “the words,” /b referring to specific words, which teaches that they must be recited in their proper order without any variation. The Gemara asks: b And /b what do b the Sages /b learn from the phrase “the words”? The difference between b words /b and b “the words” is inconsequential according to them. /b ,The Gemara analyzes the dispute: b Shall we say that Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi b maintains /b that b the entire Torah may be recited in any language? As, if it enters your mind /b to say that the entire Torah b may be recited only in the sacred tongue, /b Hebrew, and not in any other language, b why do I /b need the Torah b to write “and /b these words b shall be” /b with respect to the i Shema /i ? Why would I think that the i Shema /i is different from the rest of the Torah?,The Gemara rejects this argument: There is no proof from here, as even if the Torah must generally be recited in Hebrew b it is /b nevertheless b necessary /b to specify the matter here, since without such specification b it might have entered your mind /b to say that in this context b “hear” /b means understand, b as /b maintained by b the Sages, /b and that the i Shema /i may be recited in any language. Therefore b the Merciful One writes /b in the Torah, b “and /b these words b shall be,” /b to teach us that the i Shema /i may be recited only in the original Hebrew.,The Gemara suggests: b Shall we say /b then b that the Sages maintain /b that b the entire Torah must be recited /b specifically b in the sacred tongue, /b Hebrew? b As, if it enters your mind /b to say that the entire Torah b may be recited in any language, why do I /b need the Torah b to write “hear” /b with respect to the i Shema /i ? Why would one think that the i Shema /i is different from the rest of the Torah?,The Gemara rejects this argument: Even if the Torah may generally be recited in any language, b it was /b nevertheless b necessary /b to specify the matter here. Without such specification b it could enter your mind to say /b that the words b “and /b these words b shall be” /b teach that the i Shema /i may be recited only in Hebrew, b as /b asserted by b Rabbi /b Yehuda HaNasi. Therefore b the Merciful One writes /b the word b “hear” /b in the Torah, to teach us that the i Shema /i may be recited in any language.,§ The i baraita /i cited previously taught that the i halakha /i against reciting a text out of order applies to the i Amida /i b prayer /b as well. The Gemara asks: b From where do we /b derive this? b As it is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b Shimon HaPakuli arranged the eighteen blessings /b of the i Amida /i prayer b before Rabban Gamliel in their /b fixed b order in Yavne, /b which indicates that there is a specific order to these blessings that must not be changed. b Rabbi Yoḥa said, and some say that it was taught in a i baraita /i : A hundred and twenty Elders, /b i.e., the Men of the Great Assembly, and b among them several prophets, established /b the b eighteen blessings /b of the i Amida /i b in their /b fixed b order, /b which also shows that the order of these blessings may not be changed.,The Gemara proceeds to explain this order: b The Sages taught /b in a i baraita /i : b From where /b is it derived b that one says /b the blessing of b the Patriarchs, /b the first blessing of the i Amida /i ? b As it is stated: “Ascribe to the Lord, mighty ones” /b (Psalms 29:1), which means that one should mention before the Lord the mighty ones of the world, i.e., the Patriarchs. b And from where /b is it derived b that one /b then b says /b the blessing of b mighty deeds? As it is stated /b in the continuation of that verse: b “Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength” /b (Psalms 29:1). b And from where /b is it derived b that one /b then b says /b the blessing of b holiness? As it is stated /b in the next verse: b “Give to the Lord the glory due to His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness” /b (Psalms 29:2).,The Gemara continues: b And why did they see /b fit to institute b to say /b the blessing of b understanding after /b the blessing of b holiness? As it is stated: “They shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall revere the God of Israel” /b (Isaiah 29:23), and adjacent to that verse it is written: b “They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding” /b (Isaiah 29:24). This shows that it is proper for the theme of understanding to follow the theme of God’s holiness. b And why did they see /b fit to institute b to say /b the blessing of b repentance after /b the blessing of b understanding? As it is written: “And they will understand with their heart, repent, and be healed” /b (Isaiah 6:10-11), showing that the theme of repentance properly follows the theme of understanding.,The Gemara asks: b If so, /b that the sequence of blessings is based on this verse, b let /b us b say /b that b the /b blessing of b healing should be said after /b the blessing of b repentance. /b Why, then, is the next blessing in the i Amida /i the blessing of forgiveness and not the blessing of healing? The Gemara explains: b This cannot enter your mind, as it is written: “And let him return to the Lord, and He will have compassion upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon” /b (Isaiah 55:7), which shows that the theme of repentance should be followed by that of forgiveness.,The Gemara poses a question: b But what did you see to rely on this /b verse? b Rely on the other /b verse, which juxtaposes repentance to healing. The Gemara answers: b Another verse, /b in which it is b written: “Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from the pit” /b (Psalms 103:3–4), proves that the theme of healing should follow that of forgiveness. The Gemara asks: b Is that /b verse coming b to say that /b the blessings of b redemption and healing /b should be placed following the blessing of b forgiveness? But isn’t it written: “Repent, and be healed” /b (Isaiah 6:10), which suggests that repentance should be followed by healing? The Gemara answers: b That /b verse is referring b not /b to b the /b literal b healing from illness, but rather /b to b the /b figurative b healing of forgiveness, /b and therefore this verse too supports the sequence of forgiveness following repentance.,The Gemara continues: b And why did they see /b fit to institute b to say /b the blessing of b redemption as the seventh /b blessing? b Rava said: Since /b there is a tradition that the Jewish people are b destined to be redeemed in the seventh /b year of the Sabbatical cycle, b consequently, they fixed /b redemption b as the seventh /b blessing. b But didn’t the Master say /b in a i baraita /i : b In the sixth /b year of the Sabbatical cycle in the days of the arrival of the Messiah, heavenly b sounds /b will be heard; b in the seventh /b year there will be b wars; and upon the conclusion of the seventh /b year, in the eighth year, b the son of David, /b the Messiah, b will come? /b The redemption will take place not during the seventh year but after it. The Gemara answers: Nevertheless, the b war /b that takes place during the seventh year b is also the beginning of the redemption /b process, and it is therefore correct to say that Israel will be redeemed in the seventh year.,The Gemara continues: b And why did they see /b fit to institute that one b says /b the blessing of b healing as the eighth /b blessing? b Rabbi Aḥa said: Since circumcision was assigned to the eighth /b day of life, and circumcision b requires healing, consequently, they established /b healing b as the eighth /b blessing., b And why did they see /b fit to institute that one b says the blessing of /b bountiful b years as the ninth /b blessing? b Rabbi Alexandri said: /b This blessing was instituted b in reference to those who raise the prices /b of food. We pray for rain so that the price of produce will not rise as a result of shortages, b as it is written: “Break the arm of the wicked” /b (Psalms 10:15), referring to the wicked, who practice deception and extort the poor. b And when David expressed this /b request, b he expressed it in the ninth /b psalm. Although today it is considered the tenth psalm, the first and second psalms are actually counted as one, and therefore this is the ninth psalm. Therefore, the blessing of the years was fixed as the ninth blessing.,The Gemara asks: b And why did they see /b fit to institute that one b says /b the blessing of b the ingathering of /b the b exiles after the blessing of the years? As it is written: “And you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to My people Israel; for they will soon be coming” /b (Ezekiel 36:8), which indicates that the ingathering of the exiles will follow after Eretz Yisrael is blessed with bountiful produce. b And once the exiles have been gathered, judgment will be meted out to the wicked, as it is stated: “And I will turn my hand against you and purge away your dross as with lye” /b (Isaiah 1:25), b and /b immediately after b it is written: “And I will restore your judges as at first” /b (Isaiah 1:26). For this reason the blessing of the restoration of judges comes after the blessing of the ingathering of the exiles., b And once judgment is meted out to the wicked, the transgressors, /b i.e., the heretics and sectarians, b will cease to be. /b Consequently, the next blessing is that of the heretics, b and one includes evildoers with them, as it is stated: “And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, /b and they that forsake the Lord b shall cease to be” /b (Isaiah 1:28). The “transgressors and sinners” are the evildoers, and “they that forsake the Lord” are the heretics., b And once the heretics cease to be, the horn, /b i.e., the glory, b of the righteous will be exalted, as it is written: “All the horns of the wicked will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted” /b (Psalms 75:11). Therefore, after the blessing of the heretics, one says the blessing about the righteous. b And he includes the righteous converts along with the righteous, as it is stated: “You shall rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the elder” /b (Leviticus 19:32), b and adjacent to this /b it is stated: b “And if a stranger sojourns with you” /b (Leviticus 19:33). An “elder” is one with Torah wisdom and a “stranger” is one who has converted to Judaism., b And where will the horns /b of the righteous b be exalted? In Jerusalem, as it is stated: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; they who love you shall prosper” /b (Psalms 122:6). “They who love you” are the righteous. Therefore, the blessing of the rebuilding of Jerusalem is placed after the blessing of the righteous., b And once Jerusalem is rebuilt, /b the Messiah, scion of the house of b David, will come, as it is stated: /b |

Here, and in the following statements, the term “land” is understood as a reference to the Land of Israel, while “the fields” means all the fields in other lands. Furthermore, b Eretz Yisrael is watered by the Holy One, Blessed be He, Himself, and the rest of the entire world /b is watered b through an intermediary, as it is stated: “Who gives rain upon the land, and sends water upon the fields” /b (Job 5:10).,Additionally, b Eretz Yisrael drinks rainwater and /b the rest of b the entire world /b drinks b from /b the remaining b residue /b of rainwater left in the clouds, b as it is stated /b that God is He b “who gives rain upon the land” /b and only afterward takes what is left “and sends water upon the fields.” b Eretz Yisrael drinks first, and /b the rest of b the entire world afterward, as it is stated: “Who gives rain upon the land /b and sends water upon the fields.” There is b a parable /b that illustrates this: b A person /b who b kneads /b his b cheese /b after it has curdled b takes the food and leaves the refuse. /b , b The Master said /b above: The ocean waters b are sweetened in the clouds. /b The Gemara asks: b From where /b does Rabbi Eliezer derive b this? /b The Gemara answers b that Rav Yitzḥak bar Yosef said /b that b Rabbi Yoḥa said /b that b it is written: “Darkness [ i ḥeshkhat /i ] of waters, thick clouds of the skies” /b (Psalms 18:12). b And it is written, /b in a similar verse: b “Gathering of [ i ḥashrat /i ] waters, thick clouds of the skies” /b (II Samuel 22:12).,The Gemara explains the significance of this minor variation. These two phrases vary in only one word, which themselves differ by only one letter, a i kaf /i for a i reish /i . If you join the two versions together, and b take /b the letter b i kaf /i /b from the first version b and /b place it b with /b the second version of the word, which has b a i reish /i , /b you can b read into /b the verse a new word meaning b rendering fit [ i ḥakhsharat /i ]. /b Accordingly, the verse can be interpreted as: The rendering fit of water is performed in the clouds of the sky.,The Gemara asks: b And Rabbi Yehoshua, /b with regard b to these verses, what /b does he learn from b them? /b The Gemara answers that Rabbi Yehoshua b holds in accordance with /b the opinion of b this /b Sage, Rav Dimi. b As when Rav Dimi came /b from Eretz Yisrael to Babylonia, b he said /b that b they say in the West, /b Eretz Yisrael: When b clouds are bright, they have little water; /b when b clouds are dark, they have much water. /b Accordingly, Rabbi Yehoshua explains that when there is “a darkness of waters” in the clouds, there is also “a gathering of waters,” as rain will fall from them.,The Gemara asks: b In accordance with whose /b opinion b is that which is taught /b in a i baraita /i : b The upper waters /b do not stand in any defined place; rather, they are b suspended by /b the b word /b of God, b and their fruit is rainwater, as it is stated: /b “Who waters the mountains from His upper chambers; b the earth is full of the fruit of Your works” /b (Psalms 104:13). b In accordance with whose /b opinion is this statement? It is b in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabbi Yehoshua. And Rabbi Eliezer, /b how does he explain this verse? Rabbi Eliezer could say: b That /b verse from Psalms b is written with regard to the handiwork of the Holy One, Blessed be He, /b not the upper waters., b Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said: The entire world drinks from the runoff of the Garden of Eden, as it is stated: “And a river went out of Eden /b to water the garden” (Genesis 2:10). It was b taught /b in a i baraita /i : b From the runoff of a i beit kor /i , /b a field in which a i kor /i of seed can be planted, which is approximately seventy-five thousand square cubits, a field in which b a half- i se’a /i [ i tarkav /i ], /b of seed can be sown, i.e. one-sixtieth the size of a i beit kor /i , b can be watered. /b If the runoff from a i beit kor /i is sufficient for a field one-sixtieth its size, it can be inferred that the rest of the world is one-sixtieth the size of the Garden of Eden., b The Sages taught /b in a i baraita /i : The area of the b land of Egypt is four hundred parasangs [ i parsa /i ] by four hundred parasangs. And /b this b is one sixtieth /b the size b of Cush, and Cush /b itself b is one sixtieth /b the size b of /b the rest of b the world. And the world is one sixtieth of the Garden /b of Eden, b and the Garden /b of Eden b is one sixtieth of Eden /b itself, b and Eden is one sixtieth of Gehenna. /b You b find /b that b the entire world is like a pot cover for Gehenna, /b as Eden, which is far larger than the rest of the world, is only one sixtieth the size of Gehenna. b And some say: Gehenna has no measure. And some say /b that b Eden has no measure. /b , b Rabbi Oshaya said: What is /b the meaning of that b which is written /b about Babylonia: b “You who dwells on many waters, abundant in storehouses” /b (Jeremiah 51:13)? b What caused Babylonia to have storehouses full of grain? You must say /b that it is b due to /b the fact that b it resides on many waters, /b the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers, which render its land easy to irrigate. Similarly, b Rav said: Babylonia is wealthy since /b it can b grow crops /b for harvest b even without rain. Abaye said: We hold /b that it is better for a land to be b swampy /b like Babylonia, b and not dry, /b as crops in Babylonia grow all year., strong MISHNA: /strong b On the third of /b the month of b Marḥeshvan /b one starts to b request rain /b by inserting the phrase: And give dew and rain, in the blessing of the years, the ninth blessing of the i Amida /i . b Rabban Gamliel says: /b One starts to request rain b on the seventh of /b Marḥeshvan, which is b fifteen days after the festival /b of i Sukkot /i . Rabban Gamliel explains that one waits these extra four days b so that /b the b last /b pilgrim b of the Jewish people, /b who traveled to Jerusalem on foot for the Festival, b can reach the Euphrates River /b without being inconvenienced by rain on his journey home., strong GEMARA: /strong b Rabbi Elazar said: The i halakha /i is in accordance with /b the opinion of b Rabban Gamliel, /b that one does not begin to request rain until the seventh of Marḥeshvan. It b is taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Ḥaya says: And in the Diaspora /b one does not begin to request rain b until sixty /b days b into the season, /b i.e., sixty days after the autumnal equinox. b Rav Huna bar Ḥiyya said /b that b Shmuel said: The i halakha /i is in accordance with /b the opinion of b Ḥaya. /b ,The Gemara asks: b Is that so? But they raised a dilemma before Shmuel: From when does one mention: And give dew and rain? He said to them: From when they bring wood into the house of Tavut the bird hunter [ i rishba /i ]. /b This is apparently a different date than that mentioned by Ḥaya. The Gemara suggests: b Perhaps this and that are one measure /b of time, i.e., Shmuel merely provided a sign of sixty days after the autumnal equinox., b A dilemma was raised before /b the Sages: Is the b sixtieth day /b itself treated as part b of /b the period b before /b the b sixtieth /b day b or /b is it included b in /b the period b after /b the b sixtieth /b day? The Gemara answers. b Come /b and b hear /b that there is a dispute in this regard. b Rav said: /b The b sixtieth day /b is part b of /b the period b after /b the b sixtieth /b day, b and Shmuel said: /b The b sixtieth day /b is part b of /b the period b before /b the b sixtieth. /b , b Rav Naḥman bar Yitzḥak said: And your mnemonic /b to remember the divergent opinions is: b Those above require water; those below do not require water. /b Since water flows downward, those who live in low places receive their water from above and are generally in less need of additional water. Accordingly, Shmuel, who lived in the lowlands of Babylonia, ruled that one begins to request for rain later, whereas Rav, who studied in Eretz Yisrael, which is higher in elevation and has a greater need for rain, stated an earlier date. b Rav Pappa said: The i halakha /i is /b that the b sixtieth day /b is part b of /b the period b after /b the b sixtieth /b day, as stated by b Rav, /b and therefore one begins to mention the request for rain on the sixtieth day after the autumnal equinox., strong MISHNA: /strong If the b seventeenth of Marḥeshvan arrived and rain has not fallen, individuals, /b but not the entire community, b begin to fast three fasts /b for rain. How are these fasts conducted? As the fast begins in the morning, one b may eat and drink after dark, and one is permitted /b during the days of the fasts themselves to engage b in /b the performance of b work, in bathing, in smearing oil /b on one’s body, b in wearing shoes, and in conjugal relations. /b If the b New Moon of Kislev arrived and rain has /b still b not fallen, /b the b court decrees three fasts on the /b entire b community. /b Similar to the individual fasts, everyone b may eat and drink after dark, and they are permitted to /b engage in the performance of b work, in bathing, in smearing /b one’s body b with oil, in wearing shoes, and in conjugal relations. /b , strong GEMARA: /strong The Gemara asks: b Who are /b these b individuals /b mentioned in the mishna? b Rav Huna said: /b This is referring to b the Sages, /b who are held to a higher standard and are expected to undertake fasts even when ordinary people do not. b And Rav Huna /b further said: The b individuals /b who b fast /b the b three fasts /b do so b on a Monday, and /b on the next b Thursday, and /b again on the following b Monday. /b ,The Gemara asks: b What is /b Rav Huna b teaching us? We /b already b learned /b this (15b): The court b may not decree a fast on the community starting from a Thursday, so as not to cause an increase in prices. Rather, /b the b first three fasts /b are established on b Monday, and Thursday, and Monday. /b What does Rav Huna’s statement add to this ruling?,The Gemara answers: Rav Huna’s comment is necessary, b lest you say /b that b this applies /b only to b a community, but /b that in the case of b an individual, no, /b the series of three fasts does not have to start on a Monday. b This /b opinion b is also taught /b in a i baraita /i with regard to those mentioned in the mishna: b When the individuals begin to fast, they fast on a Monday, a Thursday, and a Monday. And /b if one of the fast days occurs on a day with special observances, b they interrupt /b the sequence b for New Moons, /b |

Rav Yehuda, son of Rav Shmuel bar Sheilat, says in the name of Rav: Although /b the Sages b said /b that b a person requests his own needs in /b the blessing ending: b Who listens to prayer, /b that is not the only option. b Rather, if he wishes to recite at the conclusion of each and every blessing /b personal requests that b reflect the nature of each and every blessing, he may recite /b them.,Similarly, b Rav Ḥiyya bar Ashi says /b that b Rav says: Although /b the Sages b said /b that b a person requests his own needs in /b the blessing ending: b Who listens to prayer, if he has a sick person in his house he recites /b a special prayer for him b during the blessing of the sick. And if he is in need of sustece, he recites /b a request b during the blessing of the years. /b , b Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi says: Although /b the Sages b said /b that b a person requests his own needs in /b the blessing ending: b Who listens to prayer; but if one wishes to recite /b prayers and supplications b after /b finishing b his /b i Amida /i b prayer, even /b if his personal requests b are as /b long as b the order /b of the confession of b Yom Kippur, he may recite /b them., strong MISHNA: /strong b And these are the festivals of gentiles: Kalenda, Saturnalia, and Kratesis, and the day of the festival of their kings, and the birthday /b of the king, b and /b the anniversary of b the day of the death /b of the king. This is b the statement of Rabbi Meir. And the Rabbis say: Every death that includes /b public b burning /b is a festival that b includes idol worship, and /b any death b that does not include /b public b burning /b is b not /b a festival that b includes idol worship. But /b in the case of b the day of shaving his, /b i.e., a gentile’s, b beard and his locks, and the day of /b his b ascent from the sea, and the day that he left prison, and /b also in the case of b a gentile who prepared /b a wedding b feast for his son /b and celebrates on that day, engaging in business b is prohibited only /b on b that day and /b with b that man. /b , strong GEMARA: /strong b Rav Ḥa bar Rava says: /b When are these festivals celebrated? b Kalenda /b is celebrated during the b eight days after /b the winter b solstice, /b and b Saturnalia /b is celebrated during the b eight days before /b the winter b solstice. And your mnemonic /b to remember which festival is that the one that occurs after the solstice is mentioned first in the mishna, and the festival that takes place before the solstice is mentioned after, as in the verse: b “You have hemmed me in behind and before, /b and laid Your Hand upon me” (Psalms 139:5), where the word “before” appears after the term “behind.”,With regard to the dates of these festivals, b the Sages taught: When Adam the first /b man b saw /b that b the day was progressively diminishing, /b as the days become shorter from the autumnal equinox until the winter solstice, he did not yet know that this is a normal phenomenon, and therefore he b said: Woe /b is b me; perhaps because I sinned the world is becoming dark around me and /b will ultimately b return to /b the primordial state of b chaos and disorder. And this is the death that was sentenced upon me from Heaven, /b as it is written: “And to dust shall you return” (Genesis 3:19). b He arose and spent eight days in fasting and in prayer. /b , b Once he saw /b that the b season of Tevet, /b i.e., the winter solstice, had arrived, b and saw /b that b the day was progressively lengthening /b after the solstice, he b said: /b Clearly, the days become shorter and then longer, and this b is the order of the world. He went and observed a festival /b for b eight days. Upon the next year, he observed /b both b these /b eight days on which he had fasted on the previous year, b and these /b eight days of his celebration, as b days of festivities. He, /b Adam, b established /b these festivals b for the sake of Heaven, but they, /b the gentiles of later generations, b established them for the sake of idol worship. /b ,The Gemara raises a difficulty: b Granted, according to the one who says /b that b the world was created in /b the month of b Tishrei, /b one can understand why Adam believed that the days were becoming shorter as part of his punishment, as b he saw the short days /b of the winter and b had not yet seen the long days /b of summer. b But according to the one who says /b that b the world was created in /b the month of b Nisan, he had /b already b seen /b the difference between b the short days and the long days, /b as the days in the month of Nisan become progressively longer with the passage of time. The Gemara answers: Although Adam had experienced short days, b he had not seen days that were this short, /b as in the days before the winter solstice., b The Sages taught: /b On b the day that Adam the first /b man b was created, when the sun set upon him he said: Woe /b is b me, as because I sinned, the world is becoming dark around me, and the world will return to /b the primordial state of b chaos and disorder. And this is the death that was sentenced upon me from Heaven. He spent all night fasting and crying, and Eve was crying opposite him. Once dawn broke, he said: /b Evidently, the sun sets and night arrives, and b this is the order of the world. He arose and sacrificed a bull whose horns preceded its hoofs /b in the order that they were created, b as it is stated: “And it shall please the Lord better than a bullock that has horns and hoofs” /b (Psalms 69:32). This verse is referring to the one particular bull whose horns preceded its hoofs., b And Rav Yehuda says /b that b Shmuel says: /b The b bull that Adam the first /b man b sacrificed had one horn in its forehead, as it is stated: “And it shall please the Lord better than a bullock that has horns [ i makrin /i ] and hooves.” /b The Gemara raises a difficulty: Isn’t b i makrin /i /b plural, which b indicates two /b horns? b Rav Naḥman bar Yitzḥak says: i Mikkeren /i is written, /b i.e., the letter i yod /i is missing from the word, indicating that there was only one horn.,§ b Rav Mattana says: /b Since b Rome established /b the festival of b Kalenda /b on a specific date, b and all of the nearby towns are ruled by /b Rome, i.e., they pay their tax to Rome and provide its needs but do not themselves celebrate the festival, is it b prohibited or permitted /b to engage in business transactions with the gentile residents of b those towns? Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi says: It is prohibited /b to engage in business during the time of the b Kalenda with everyone. Rabbi Yoḥa says: It is prohibited /b to engage in business b only with its worshippers, /b whereas it is permitted to engage in business transactions with gentiles who do not celebrate the festival.,The Sage b taught /b in a i baraita /i b in accordance with /b the opinion b of Rabbi Yoḥa: Although they said /b that b Rome /b has b established /b the festival of b Kalenda and all of the nearby towns are ruled by /b Rome, b it is prohibited /b to engage in business b only with its worshippers. /b ,The i baraita /i continues: With regard to the festivals b Saturnalia and Kratesis, and the day of the festival of their kings, and /b the b day on which /b the b king was crowned, /b the i halakha /i is that b before /b the festival it is b prohibited /b to engage in business transactions, whereas b after /b the festival it is b permitted. But /b in the case of b a gentile who prepared a feast for his son /b and celebrates on that day, engaging in business b is prohibited only /b on b that day /b itself b and /b with b that man. /b , b Rav Ashi said: We learn /b in the mishna b as well /b in accordance with Rabbi Yoḥa’s statement that the prohibition applies only to gentiles who celebrate the festival, not to people who are ruled by them. b As /b the mishna b teaches: /b With regard to b the day of shaving his beard and his locks, and the day of his ascent from the sea, and the day that he left prison, /b engaging in business b is prohibited only /b on b that day and /b with b that man. /b ,Rav Ashi explains the proof: b Granted, /b the mishna specifies that the prohibition is limited to b that day /b alone, in order b to exclude /b the days b before and after it. But /b when it states that the prohibition applies only to b that man, what does /b the mishna b exclude? /b Obviously the prohibition does not extend to all gentiles, as it is a personal festival. b Doesn’t /b the mishna’s ruling serve b to exclude those who are ruled by him? /b Therefore, b conclude from /b the language of the mishna that a prohibition extends only to gentiles who celebrate the festival, not to those who are ruled by them., b It is taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi Yishmael says: Jews who are outside of Eretz /b Yisrael b are /b considered to b engage in idol worship in purity, /b i.e., unwittingly. b How /b does this occur? In the case of b a gentile who prepared a feast for /b the marriage of b his son, and invited all of the Jews in his town, even though they eat of their own /b kosher food b and drink of their own /b kosher beverages, b and their own attendant stands before them, the verse ascribes /b guilt b to them as though they ate of /b the b offerings to the dead, /b i.e., idols, b as it is stated: /b “And sacrifice to their gods, b and they call you, and you eat of their sacrifice” /b (Exodus 34:15). Since Jews participate in a feast in which the gentile sacrifices offerings to his idol, it is as though they partook of the offering themselves.,The Gemara asks: b But /b why not b say /b that the verse is criticizing the Jews only b once they eat /b from the sacrifice? b Rava said: If /b that b is /b what is meant, b let the verse say /b only: b And you eat of their sacrifice. What /b is meant by the additional phrase: b “And they call you”? /b This indicates that the prohibition occurs b from the time of the call. Therefore, /b |

For many times when I went out I found some of the people hung up by king Nebuchadnezzar, crying and saying:"Have mercy on us, God-ZAR!" 1.1. It came to pass, when the children of Israel were taken captive bythe king of the Chaldeans, that God spoke to Jeremiah saying: Jeremiah, my chosen one, arise and depart from this city, you and Baruch, since I am going to destroy it because of the multitude of the sins of those who dwell in it. |
