La Genèse 1:4 Références du Talmud : Jerusalem Talmud Berakhot, Pesachim & Chagigah

Rebbi Eleazar ben Rebbi Hoshaiah¹⁰⁰Son of Rebbi Hoshaiah (see Chap. 2, Note 169). The statement is in the Babli (Pesaḥim 103b–104a) in the name of Rebbi Oshaya (Babylonian form of Hoshaiah). The entire paragraph has the appearance of being written by a person unable to pronounce an “h”.: Only one should not mention less than three separations. Rebbi Yoḥanan said, they said that he who says little should not say less than three and he who adds should not add more than seven separations. Levi said, but only separations mentioned in the Torah¹⁰¹For example, He Who separates between holy and private (Lev. 10:10), between light and darkness (Gen. 1:4), between Israel and the Gentiles (Lev. 20:26). There are no more than seven separations mentioned in the Torah. [The other four are between upper and lower waters, between day and night, between pure and impure, between Levites and other Israelites.]. Naḥum¹⁰²Also called Menaḥem ben R. Simai, an Amora of the first generation who was renowned for his holiness. ben Rebbi Simai went out and said in his father’s name: even one separation. But Rebbi Abbahu said, one must seal with “separation”. Rebbi Mana objected, even if he started by “He Who separates between holy and worldly” and ends, seals by “He Who separates between holy and worldly”¹⁰³Would Rebbi Abbahu agree with R. Naḥum ben R. Simai that a benediction would be: “Praise to You, o Eternal, our God, King of the universe, Who separates between holy and wordly. Praise to You, Eternal, Who separates between holy and wordly”? That text looks too silly to be acceptable.? Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, is it not from the benedictions that one starts with “praised” and ends with “praised”¹⁰⁴As stated in Halakhah 1:4. However, Rebbi Abbahu is more specific and requires the final benediction to contain the word המבדיל. In the Babli (Pesaḥim 104a) there is a discussion whether the separation referred to in the concluding benediction is the first or the last one of the list. In any case, it is clear that R. Abbahu cannot agree with R. Naḥum bar Simai to produce the meaningless formula of R. Mana. Hence, the opinion of R. Naḥum must be rejected.?

... [Gemara:] What is the meaning of אור? ... (Beraishit 44:3) "The morning lightened, and the people were sent off". Therefore, "light" is of the morning

“Also, one does not recite the benediction over a lamp unless one has profited from its light.¹⁵⁰Quote from the Mishnah.” Rebbi Zeïra, the son of Rebbi Abbahu, preached: (Gen. 1:4) “God saw the light that it was good” and after that, “God separated between the light and the darkness.¹⁵³In imitatio Dei, one should not make Havdalah until he saw the light and that it is useful. The same paragraph is found in Bereshit rabba3(7) in slightly more explicit language.”. Rebbi Berekhiah said: The following was preached by the two greats of the world, Rebbi Yoḥanan and Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: “God separated,” a true separation. Rebbi Yehudah, the son of Rebbi Simon, said: He separated it for Himself¹⁵⁴That this is the light of the Shekhinah.. But the rabbis say, He separated it for the just in the future world. They gave a parable, to what can this situation be compared? To a king who had two generals¹⁵⁵Greek (sing.) στρατηγός.; both of them said: “I want to command during the day.” He called the first one and told him: day shall be your domain. He called the second one and told him: night shall be your domain. That is what is written: (Gen. 1:5) “God called the light ‘day’, etc.” To the light he said: day shall be your domain; but to the darkness he said: night shall be your domain. Rebbi Yoḥanan said, that it is which the Holy One, praise to Him, said to Job: (Job 38:12) “Did you ever command the morning, did you inform the morning of its place?” Do you know the place where the light of the Six Days of Creation was hidden? Rebbi Tanḥuma said: I shall give its reason. (Is. 45:7) “He Who fashioned the light and created darkness, He makes peace.” When it left¹⁵⁶In Bereshit rabba: “From the moment that they were created, He is making peace.”, it made peace between them.
