Talmud zu Jirmejahu 36:24
וְלֹ֣א פָחֲד֔וּ וְלֹ֥א קָרְע֖וּ אֶת־בִּגְדֵיהֶ֑ם הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ וְכָל־עֲבָדָ֔יו הַשֹּׁ֣מְעִ֔ים אֵ֥ת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִ֖ים הָאֵֽלֶּה׃
Doch sie hatten weder Angst noch zerrissen sie ihre Kleider, weder der König noch einer seiner Diener, die all diese Worte hörten.
Jerusalem Talmud Moed Katan
Because of burning Torah from where? It was when Yehudi read three or four stanzas315Jer. 36:23.. What means “three or four stanzas”? Three or four verses. When he came to the fifth verse316Thr. 1:5. Traditionally the scroll cut into pieces and burned by King Yehoyakim was a first version of Threni., for the Eternal afflicted her for the magnitude of her sins, immediately he cut it off with a scribe’s knife and threw it, etc. But they showed no fear nor tore their garments317Jer. 36:24. Since the ministers are chastised for not tearing their garments it follows that there was an obligation to do so. It also follows that “Torah” includes all of the Hebrew Scriptures..
