Talmud zu Daniel 8:12

HALAKHAH: Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said, Amaleq was a sorcerer. What did he do? He put people up on their birthday, implying that no man easily falls on his birthday¹⁰⁴On the theory that warriors are less vulnerable on their birthday, γενέσια, because the stars of his birth will protect him (and astrology is legitimate for Gentiles.). What did Moses do? He mixed planets¹⁰⁵He assured Joshua’s victory by deviating the stars from their regular course (agreeing that the stars did for Moses what they did for Joshua, Yalqut Joshua 22).. That is what is written¹⁰⁶Hab. 3:11., sun, moon stood in the sky, etc. And it is written¹⁰⁷Hab. 3:10., the abyss sounded, the elevated lifted his hands. Since the elevated lifted his hands, the abyss sounded. Samuel said, and the host will be given against the daily sacrifice by vice¹⁰⁸Dan. 8:12., the vice of the Torah¹⁰⁹The vice of neglecting the Torah.. And truth will be thrown to the ground; anytime that Israel throws the words of the Torah to the ground, this evil government decides and succeeds. What is the reason? It threw truth to the ground, did, and succeeded. And there is no truth like Torah, as you are saying¹¹⁰Prov. 23:23., buy truth and do not sell, wisdom, ethics, and insight. Rebbi Jehudah bar Pazi said, Israel has neglected the good, an enemy will pursue it¹¹¹Hos. 8:3., and there is no good but the Torah, as you are saying, for a good acquisition I gave to you, do not abandon my Torah¹¹²Prov. 4:2..
