Talmud sur La Genèse 1:28

BARAITHA.¹⁰K 1. And whence is the benediction of bridegrooms derived from the Torah? As it is stated, And they blessed Rebekah.
GEMARA. Did they, then, bless her over a cup [of wine]? This is but a support [and not a proof for the necessity of a benediction]. R. Joḥanan said: It is derived from the verse, And God blessed them.¹¹Gen. 1, 28. But how will he explain that concerning [other] living creatures it is also written, And God blessed them?¹²ibid. 22. But [the benediction is required] because it is written, And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from the man, made He [banah] a woman;¹³ibid. II, 22. for in the coast towns they call plaits binyatha.¹⁴[Cf. ARN IV, 3, above p. 36.] Adam and Eve are in a different category in that God plaited Eve’s hair and brought her adorned to Adam.

“And the Ninth of Av.” ¹³²This paragraph also is in Ta`aniot 4:9, Notes 370–377. Rebbi Jeremiah in the name of Rebbi Ḥiyya, it should have been logical that one should fast on the Tenth, since on it it was burned. Why on the Ninth? Because the calamity started on it. So it was stated, on the Seventh they entered, on the Eighth they were misbehaving in it, on the Ninth they started the fire, and on the Tenth it was burned. Rebbi Joshua ben Levi fasted Ninth and Tenth. Rebbi Levi fasted on the Ninth and the night of the Tenth. Rebbi Abba bar Zavda in the name of Rebbi Ḥanina: Rebbi wanted to uproot the Ninth of Av but they did not let him. Rebbi Eleazar said to him, I was with you but it was not said so, but Rebbi wanted to uproot the Ninth of Av which fell on a Sabbath but they did not let him. He said, because it was pushed aside, let it be pushed aside. They said to him, let it be pushed to the next day. In a similar case, that which we stated there: “Rebbi Joḥanan ben Beroqa said, for both of them it says, God blessed them and God said to them, be fruitful and multiply¹³³Gen. 1:28., etc.” Rebbi Eleazar in the Name of Rebbi Ḥanina: Practice follows Rebbi Joḥanan ben Beroqa. Rebbi Abba bar Zavda said to him, I was with you and it was only said, if she asks to be married the law is on her side. He said about them, two are better than one¹³⁴Eccl. 4:9..

MISHNAH: A man should not rest from being fruitful and multiply unless he has children. The House of Shammai say two males, but the House of Hillel say a male and a female, as it is said “male and female He created them¹¹⁰Gen. 1:27..” If he married a wife and she stayed with him for ten years and had no child he is not permitted to rest. If he divorced her¹¹¹He also might take a second wife., she is permitted to marry another and the second [husband] is permitted to stay with her for ten years, and if she had a miscarriage she counts from the moment of the miscarriage. The man is commanded to be fruitful and multiply but not the woman. Rebbi Joḥanan ben Beroqa said, for both of them it says “God blessed them and God said to them, be fruitful and multiply,¹¹²Gen. 1:28.” etc.
