Talmud sur Les Nombres 22:42

Rebbi Isaac bar Naḥman: Did not Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish ask Rebbi Ḥaninah: What is the status of one who buys in Ammon and Moab⁷⁵What is the status for Sabbatical and tithes? From the discussion in the paragraph after the next it will be clear that “Ammon and Moab” does not refer to the Biblical states but to the domain of the former tribes Reuben and Gad in Transjordan.? Rebbi Zeïra said, I asked this question before Rebbi Assi: Are not Ammon and Moab from Moses? Rebbi Mana asked this question before Rebbi Ḥaggai: Are not Ammon and Moab from Moses? Ammon and Moab are not from Rebbi Eleazar ben Azariah⁸⁴In Mishnah Yadayim 4 there is a list of decrees enacted on the day R. Eleazar ben Azariah was made head of the Synhedrion. On the authority of R. Joshua it was decreed that “Ammon and Moab” (i. e., the domains of the former tribes Reuben and Gad) must give tithe of the poor in the Sabbatical. This implies that the land there is cultivated during the Sabbatical. Therefore, Transjordan cannot be part of the Holy Land where work is forbidden.! Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, it is written (Num. 22:26): “For Ḥešbon is the city of Siḥon, the king of the Amorites.” Rebbi Simeon was not sure whether it was purified from the hand of Siḥon and Og or not. If you say it was purified it is obligated, if you say it was not purified it is free. Rebbi Tanḥuma said (Deut. 2:31): “Make profane for inheritance, to inherit his land.” I made his land profane before you⁸⁵Even in the times of Moses and Joshua, Transjordan did not have the status of a Holy Land. The opposite conclusion is drawn from the same verses in Babli Ḥulin 60b..

²⁹⁸Ševuot 15b, the entire paragraph. How did the processions go? The elder Rebbi Ḥiyya and Rebbi Simeon ben Rebbi. One said, one opposite the other; the other said, one after the other; both are explaining the same verse: The second thanksgiving sacrifice went לְמוּל and I after it²⁹⁹Neh. 12:38, in MT למואל. According to Gesenius, one has to read מוּאל as contraction of מֵאֲוַל “not first, not with it”. This justifies both meanings quoted here, “opposite” and “after”.. He who said, one opposite the other, and he dwells opposite me³⁰⁰Num. 22:5.. But he who said, one after the other, he should break off its head behind its neck³⁰¹Lev. 5:8.. For him who said, one opposite the other, it turns out that every place was purified by one thanksgiving sacrifice³⁰²In principle, one sacrifice would suffice if the procession went around the entire wall.; for him who said, one after the other, it turns out that every place was purified by two thanksgiving sacrifices³⁰³Since we do not expect two sacrifices for the same purpose, one has to find differences of purpose for the two.. For him who said, one after the other, this is correct following what he had stated: “the inner one is being eaten, the outer one is being burned.³⁰⁴Tosephta 3:4, Megillat Taˋanit 6. The Babli, loc. cit. ²⁹⁹ suggests that the first makes sacrifices possible; therefore, it has to be burned outside the Temple. The second one then is a legitimate thanksgiving sacrifice, most of which has to be eaten by the priests as public well-being sacrifice (Mishnah Zevahim 5:5).” For him who said, one opposite the other, what is the inner one? The one closer to the Temple. Rebbi Yasa in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: It was eaten on the instruction of a prophet³⁰⁵Who defined the meaning of “inner” and “outer”?. Rebbi Zeˋira said, they state there: Since a prophet is there, for what do I need Urim and Tummim³⁰⁶The nature of the Urim and Tummim oracle already was no longer known when the Second Temple was built; Nehemiah (7:65) uses the expression “the coming of a Cohen with Urim and Tummim” assynonym with “the coming of the Messiah.” The requirement of Urim and Tummim disqualifies all parts of Jerusalem not forming part of Solomon’s city.? It was found stated: Rebbi Jehudah says, Urim and Tummim are needed³⁰⁷In the Babli, Ševuot 16a, it is a dispute among Babylonian Amoraïm whether Nehemiah’s ceremony, without king and oracle, was a valid dedication of the rebuilt city of Jerusalem or whether it was a token ceremony to re-establish the intrinsic sanctity of Jerusalem created by Solomon’s Temple. The quote here, from an otherwise unknown baraita, qualifies the second opinion as minority opinion of a Tanna..

Rabbi Elazar HaKappar would say: Anyone who respects his friends only for their money, in the end will be sent away from them in disgrace. And anyone who disgraces his friends in order to fulfill a mitzvah, in the end will be sent away from them honorably.
How do we know that anyone who respects his friends only for their money, in the end will be sent away from them in disgrace? For this is what we find with Bil’am the wicked, who respected Balak for his money, as it says (Numbers 22:18), “And Bil’am answered, saying to Balak’s servants: If Balak gives me his house full of silver and gold.” And how do we know he was sent away in disgrace? For it says (Numbers 24:11), “Now, get out of here and go back to your own place…for the Eternal has denied you honor.”
And how do we know that anyone who disgraces his friends in order to fulfill a mitzvah, in the end will be sent away from them honorably? For this is what we find with Moses our teacher, who disgraces Pharaoh in order to fulfill a mitzvah, as it says (Exodus 11:8), “All of your servants shall come down and bow before me, saying.” Now, was Pharaoh up on a roof and was Moses down on the ground? No, what Moses meant was: Even if all your servants who stand up (and bow) before you on your platform were to get up and beg me, I would not listen to them. And how do we know he was sent away honorably? For it says (Numbers 33:3), “On the day after the Passover offering, the Israelites went out with a raised hand.”
