Talmud sobre Números 23:22

Rebbi Levi said, in the end it will come over anybody engaged in divination²⁴⁹His bad omens will hurt him.. What is the reason? For there is no divination in Jacob²⁵⁰Num. 23:22. Reading לא as לו.; for divination is his. Rebbi Aḥa bar Zeˋira said, the place²⁵¹Imagining the Future World as a palace in which God resides; the Just will be His courtiers as the Angels are imagined to be. G reads: the place of anybody not divining will be inside that of Angels of Service; a higher status. Since this statement is attributed later to R. Berekhiah, at this place the reading of the Leiden ms. has to be preferred. of anybody not divining will be like that of the Angels of Service. What is the reason? At that time it will be said to Israel what God wrought. Rebbi Ḥanina the son of Rebbi Abbahu said, this evildoer lived halfway through the existence of the world²⁵²The time elapsed from the creation of Adam to Bileam is equal to the time to elapse between Bileam and the coming of the Messiah. The present author has noted in the Introduction to his edition of Seder Olam (Northvale NJ 1998) that the Yerushalmi does not know this Babylonian compilation. We do not know the details of Galilean biblical chronology. According to Seder Olam, Bileam’s speech is to be dated 2485 A. M.; this would predict the end of this world at 4970 A. M. or 1210 C. E. In Maimonides’s interpretation of this passage in his Epistle to Yemen the reference is not to the coming of the Messiah but to restoration of prophecy to Israel.. What is the reason? At that time it will be said to Israel what God wrought. Rebbi Jeremiah ben Eleazar said, in the future a disembodied voice will explode in the tents of the Just and say, everybody who worked with God should come and take his reward. Rebbi Berekhiah in the name of Rebbi Abba bar Cahana: In the future the Holy One, praise to Him, will make place for the Just inside the place of the Angels of Service; the Angels of Service will ask them and say to them, what did God do? What did the Holy One, praise to Him, teach you? Rebbi Levi bar Ḥayta said, did He not already do this in this world? That is what is written²⁵³Dan. 3:25., Nebuchadnezzar started and said, but I am seeing four free men walking in the fire and no blemish is on them. Why does the verse say, and no blemish is on them? This teaches that they were eunuchs but were healed. It is not written “and the looks of the first”, but and the looks of the fourth; they were suppressing the fire before him. Is similar to a son of gods. [Rebbi]²⁵⁴Added from G. Reuben said, at that moment an angel descended, hit that evildoer on his mouth, and told him, correct your words; does He have a son? He continued and said, ²⁵⁵Dan. 3:28.praised be the God of Shadrak, Meshak, and Abed-Nego; it does not say “Who sent His son” but Who sent His angel and rescued His servants who trusted in Him.
