Deuteronómio 27:11 Referencias del Talmud: Jerusalem Talmud Sotah

MISHNAH: Blessings and curses³²This is of purely antiquarian character, asserting that the curses detailed in Deut. 27:11–26 (each curse prefaced by a corresponding blessing: “Blessed be the man who will not …”) were pronounced in Hebrew, based on Jos. 8:34; cf. Halakhah 4., how? When Israel had crossed the Jordan they came to Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal in Samaria, next to Sichem which is close to the terebinths of guidance, as it is said⁶²Deut. 11:30: “They are on the other side of the Jordan, westward, on the road to sunset, in the Land of the Canaanite who dwells in the prairie, opposite Gilgal, near the terebinths of guidance.”: “They are on the other side of the Jordan, etc.”, and at another place it says⁶³Gen. 12:6. The terebinth may have been a holy tree (or in the language of Deut., a holy grove) at the crossing on the North-South route (Damascus) - Ir Gannim - Beër Šeba - (Egypt) and the “road towards sundown” from Adam-the-City to the Mediterranean.: “Abram traveled through the Land up to the place of Sichem, up to the terebinth of guidance.” Since the terebinth of guidance mentioned there is at Sichem so the the terebinths of guidance mentioned here are at Sichem⁶⁴The lengthy discussion in the Mishnah is a polemic against R. Eleazar in the Halakhah. For all of Halakhot 3–5, cf. Seder ‘Olam, Chapter 11, in the author’s edition pp. 109–119; Tosephta Chapter 8..

HALAKHAH: It was stated: Rebbi says, it is impossible to say that Levi is up⁸⁶Deut 27:11–14 seems to be self-contradictory. In v. 12, it is stated that the tribes of Simeon, Levi, Jehudah, etc. have to stand on Mount Gerizim but in v. 14 the Levites are in the middle to recite the curses. because it already was said that Levi is down. It is impossible to say that Levi is down because it already was said that Levi is up. From this you say, the Elders of the Levites and the priests are down and the rest of the tribe are up⁸⁷In the Tosephta, 8:8, and the Babli, 37a, Rebbi is reported to say that all tribes were standing at the foot of the respective mountains (cf. Jos. 8:33) The opinion given here is there ascribed to R. Eliezer ben Jacob.. Rebbi Simeon says, it is impossible to say that Levi is up because it already was said that Levi is down and it is impossible to say that Levi is down because it already was said that Levi is up. From this you say, anyone able to serve⁸⁸In the Tabernacle, between the ages of 25 and 50 (Num. 8:24–25). In Tosephta and Babli, this opinion is ascribed to R. Joshia. is down and the rest of the tribe is up. Rebbi Simeon says, “Simeon and Levi”, since all of Simeon are up, also all of Levi are up. How do I confirm “in face of the Cohanim, the Levites”? ⁸⁹Ma‘aśer Šeni 5:5, Note 90; Babli Yebamot 86b, Ḥulin 24b. As Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said, in 24 places are Cohanim called Levites and this is one of them⁹⁰Ez. 44:15.: “The Cohanim Levites, the descendants of Ṣadoq.”
