Talmud zu Bereschit 21:1

HALAKHAH: “On Pentecost, seven weeks.” There are Tannaim who state, in the third month¹¹⁷Ex. Chapters 19–20. While Pharisaic and Sadducee traditions differ about the date of Pentecost, both are in agreement that the holiday celebrates the anniversary of the theophany of Sinai and the giving of the Ten Commandments, the theme of these Chapters. Tosephta 3:5. “And on New Year’s Day, and in the Seventh month¹¹⁸In this version the reading is Num. 29:1–5..” There are Tannaim who state, and the Eternal counted Sarah¹¹⁹Gen. Chapter 21. The reading is appropriate because v. 21:17 states that a person is judged only by his state at the moment of judgment; if he is repentant then his prior misdeeds are disregarded; a proper reading for the Day of Judgment. Tosephta 3:6 For the Babylonian rite, Babli 31a.. “On the Day of Atonement, after the death. On the first day of Tabernacles one reads the section about holidays in Leviticus; on the remaining days about the sacrifices of the holiday.” Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa in the name of Rebbi Yasa, to teach you that the world only exists by the sacrifices.
