Les Psaumes 5:5 Références du Talmud : Chagigah & Shabbat

These exist in the firmament! [So how can they be in Machon?] These exist in the earth, as it is written, (Psalms 148:7) "Praise God from the earth, you sea-monsters and all depths, fire and hail, snow and vapor, stormy winds doing his bidding." R. Yehudah said in the name of Rav, David sought mercy for them, and He sent them down to the earth. He said before Him, Master of the world, (Psalms 5:5) "You are not a God that desires wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with You." You are righteous, O Lord; evil shall not sojourn in your dwelling. And where is it called heaven? As it is written, (I Kings 8:39) "And hear in heaven, the Machon of Your dwelling."

"Priests can draw lots..." What does it mean, "but not for portions"? Rav Yaakov, son of the daughter of Yaakov, said: [It means] "but not the portions of the [previous] week's [sacrifices] on the festival." That's obvious! [No,] what would you have said? Since it is written, "For your nation is like the priests who fight," [Hosea 4:4] even the portions of the week [should be raffled off] as well [to prevent fights]. It teaches us [that this is not so.] And Rav Yaakov, son of the daughter of Yaakov [also] said: Anyone whose fellow gets punished because of him, is not allowed in to the borders of the Holy One, blessed be He. How do we know this? If you'll say it's because of what's written, "And God said, 'Who will entice Achav, so he will go up and fall at Ramot-Gilad?' and one said this and one said that, and a spirit went out and stood before God, and he said, 'I will entice him'... And he said, 'I will go out and I will be a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.' And He said, 'You will entice, and you will be able. Go out and do it.'" [I Kings 22:20-22]. And we say [on that], what is this "spirit"? The spirit of Navot [whom Achav had killed]. And what is this "go out"? Rav said: "Go out from my borders" [thus, the spirit was banned from God's borders because he caused Achav's downfall]. But perhaps over there, the reason was because of that which is written, "He who is deceitful shall not dwell within" [Psalms 101:7]? Rather, [the source of Rav Yaakov's statement is] from here, "You have become sated more from disgrace than from honor. You, too, drink and become of the uncircumcised...." [Habakkuk 2:16]: "You have become sated more from disgrace than from honor": That is Nevuchadnezzar. "You, too, drink and become of the uncircumcised": That is Tzidkiyah [and since he caused Nevuchadnezzar to be punished, he is considered "uncircumcised"]. First of all, the whole verse is referring to Nevuchadnezzar! And furthermore, what should the righteous Tzidkiyah have done for him? For Rav Yehuda said in the name of Rav: "When that wicked man sought to do such [rape] to that righteous man" [and thus, he was forced to punish him]! Rather, [Rav Yaakov's source is] from here, "Punishment to the righteous is not good" [Proverbs 17:26], "not good" can only mean "wicked", [and this applies to the righteous who punish others], and it is written, "For You are not a God Who desires wickedness; evil does not abide with You" [Psalms 5:5]. [Meaning], God, You are righteous, and evil shall not live in Your abode. How does "Chalashim" [in the mishnah] connote "lots"? As it is written, "How have you fallen from heaven, morning star? You have been cut down to earth, you who cast lots [cholesh] on nations" [Isaiah 14:12]. Rabbah bar Rav Huna said: This teaches that [Nevuchadnezzar] would cast lots on the royal staff to figure out which day was theirs for homosexual relations. And it is written, "All of the kings of nations, all of them... [lay in honor, each man to his house]" [Isaiah 14:18]. Rabbi Yochanan said, "That they rested from homosexual relations."
