Josué 5:2 Pasajes relacionados

Rebbi Joḥanan in the name of Rebbi Benaiah: One sprinkles on an uncircumcised Jew¹⁵⁷The position of the House of Hillel in the Mishnah is rejected. It is asserted that the uncircumcised can purify himself from the impurity and, being circumcised later, participate in the Pesaḥ celebration as asserted by the House of Shammai., for we find that our forefathers in the desert¹⁵⁸Not in the desert, but after crossing the Jordan on the 10^th of Nisan (Jos. 4:19). They were then circumcised (Jos. 5:2–8) and celebrated the Pesaḥ on the 14^th (Jos. 5:10). received sprinkling when uncircumcised. Rav Ḥisda said, following him who said that they circumcised on the eleventh¹⁵⁹If they were circumcised on the 11^th they had to be sprinkled on the 10^th, when they still were uncircumcised, in order to become pure on the 14^th.. But for him who said that they circumcised on the tenth, they did not count sprinkling when uncircumcised. Rebbi Abun said, did they not have to count for sprinkling when uncircumcised in any case¹⁶⁰Rav Ḥisda’s argument has to be rejected since if sprinkling on an uncircumcised person is ineffective, the underlying counting (of the third, seventh days) also must be ineffective. But for the Pesaḥ on the 14th, the counting had to start on the 7th, when according to the biblical text everybody (except Joshua, Caleb, and possibly Levites and/or Priests) were uncircumcised. He will hold that the first Passover in Canaan was held in impurity. This argument, represented in the Babli, loc. cit., by Mar Zuṭra, there is rejected by Rav Ashi.? Rebbi Eleazar in the name of Rebbi Ḥanina: It happened that an uncircumcised Cohen sprinkled¹⁶¹In Nazir: “he was sprinkled” (passive voice). and the sprinklings were declared valid. It was stated so: Rebbi Eliezer ben Jacob says, there were soldiers¹⁶²Greek στρατιώτης, ὁ. and gate keepers in Jerusalem who immersed themselves and ate their Pesaḥ in the evening¹⁶³They were Gentiles who converted to Judaism, were circumcised, immersed themselves in a miqweh on the 14th of Nisan, and participated in Passover, not needing cleansing by sprinkling following the House of Shammai.
