Talmud sobre Números 5:23

MISHNAH: He does not write on a wooden plank, or on papyrus, or on διφθέρα¹⁵¹Greek “hide prepared for writing.” The traditional interpretation of the Mishnaic word is “rough parchment; incompletely tanned skin.”, only on a scroll, as it is said: “In a book¹⁴⁸Num. 5:23.”. He does not write with gum¹⁵²Latin commis, gummi; Greek κόμμι, τό “gum”. or vitriol nor with anything leaving a permanent impression except with ink; it is written “he shall wipe off”, writing that can be wiped off¹⁴⁶This is the commentary on Mishnah 5..

There is written “book”, and here is written “book”¹⁴³The divorce document is called “a book of divorce” in Deut. 24:1. Mishnah Giṭṭin 2:3 states that one may write on anything, e. g. on a leaf which was plucked from its plant; according to some authorities the husband may even write the bill on the horns of a cow and deliver the cow to his wife. But for the document of the suspected wife one requires regular writing leather.. There, you say anything which is plucked. And here, you say so? He said to him, it is different here because it is written “in a book”¹⁴⁴Num. 5:23. This is more explicit in Mishnah 5, quoted in Sifry Num. 16; Num. rabba 5(47)..

¹⁴⁶This is the commentary on Mishnah 5.“And he writes”. I could think [one writes] with ink, or vermilion, or gum, or copper sulfate¹⁴⁷Greek χάλκανθον. Rashi (Erubin 13a) translates Romance adrement, Latin atramentum. Pliny (Hist. Nat. xxxiv.32) writes that the Greeks call chalcanthum what in Rome is called atramentum sutorium,“blacking for leather”., the verse says, “he shall wipe off”¹⁴⁸Num. 5:23.. If he has to erase, I could think [one writes] with drinks or fruit juice; the verse says, “he shall write”¹⁴⁹In the sense of a permanent writing.. How is that? Writing that can be wiped off. What is this? This is ink without vitriol. But did we not state: If he wiped off from a Torah scroll it is valid. Explain it following the Tanna who stated: Rebbi Meïr said, all the time we were studying with Rebbi Ismael, we put no vitriol in the ink¹⁵⁰The Babli (Erubin 13a) reports that R. Ismael required that a Torah scroll must be written so that it could serve as the suspected wife’s scroll..
