Talmud zu Nechemja 13:15

“Because the latter are not prepared,” and they are used only connected to the ground¹³House doors are used only in connection with the house; they cannot be removed and used for other purposes.. Rebbi Abbahu in the name of Rebbi Eleazar: ¹⁴Tosephta 14:1 (ed. Liebermann), Babli 123b.“Originally all implements could be taken on the Sabbath. Because they were suspected of desecrating holidays and Sabbaths as it is written¹⁵Neh. 13:15., at that time I saw in Jehudah that they were working wine presses on the Sabbath … and loading on donkeys, etc., they forbade them everything. After they were fenced¹⁶When the Sabbath was universally kept publicly by rabbinic standards. in they continued to permit to them until they permitted them everything except the big saw and the blade of the plough⁶Work tools which are expensive to replace cannot be taken for other uses. Since the intended use is forbidden on the Sabbath, they cannot be used on the Sabbath.. Rebbi Yose said, also the engraver’s stylo¹⁷Definition of Arukh, s. v. צפורן. The root is Accadic ṣpr “to be pointed”.. Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel says, also the anchor¹⁸Since a ship may not leave on the Sabbath..” ¹⁹Tosephta 13:17 (ed. Liebermann). Babli 123b.“A mortar, if there is garlic in it one may take it, otherwise one may not take it; Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel says, if it is a small mortar used at table then it is like a bowl and one moves it on the Sabbath.” Rebbi Yose, Rebbi Ila in the name of Rebbi Eleazar, Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa in the name of Rebbi Eleazar, they formulated before implements were permitted²⁰Tosephta 13:17 is not Halakhah; any mortar may be moved even though grinding in a mortar is biblically a Sabbath violation..

³³³Similarly Thr. rabba 3(38), Yalqut Prophets 421; cf. Tanhuma Yitro 5. Rebbi Joḥanan said, 80’000 young priests (broke through) [fled to] Nebuchadnezzar’s armies and went to the Ismaelites. They said to them, give us to drink for we are thirsty. They brought before them salted fish and inflated waterskins. They said to them, eat and then you can drink. When one of them opened the waterskin and put it into his mouth, the wind came out and suffocated him. That is what is written³³⁴Is. 21:13–15., load in Arabia, a large load on Arabia. In a forest in Arabia they will stay, those that should have been in the forest of Lebanon, in Arabia they will stay. But the ways of Dedanians³³⁵A grandson of Abraham by Qetura., that is the way the Dedanians act. When Ismael was thirsty, did they not bring water towards the thirsty? God opened her eyes and she saw a water cistern³³⁶Gen. 21:19.. Not voluntarily they came to you, for they fled from swords. From the unfettered sword, because they did not want to keep their Sabbaticals, as you are saying, and the seventh unfetter and abandon³³⁷Ex. 23:11.. And because ofcocked bows, because they did not want to keep their Sabbaths, as you are saying, in these days I saw in Jehudah people pressing wine-presses on the Sabbath³³⁸Neh. 13:15.. And because of the difficulty of war, they did not want to engage in the Torah’s war, [as you are saying], therefore it was said in the book of the wars of the Eternal³³⁹Num. 21:14..
