Talmud su Deuteronomio 16:13

Rebbi Joḥanan said, when you collect from your threshing floor and your wine press¹⁴⁹Deut. 16:13.. From the waste of the threshing floor and the wine press you make your thatching¹⁵⁰The verse in Deut. describes the festival of Tabernacles which, as the name indicates, is characterized by the obligation to dwell in a sukkah. The verse hints at the rule of the Mishnah that the roof of the sukkah has to be made from agricultural waste (which is grown from the earth but as waste is not subject to impurity even if cut and wetted. It is possible that R. Joḥanan reads אספ like Arabic “to have regret” to have waste rather than usable produce.) Babli 12a.. Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, and mist rose from the earth¹⁵¹Gen. 2:6. This refers to the standard interpretation of Lev. 23:43 that the Children of Israel dwelt in huts in the desert, when in reality they dwelt in tents. Therefore the ‘huts” are taken as the Divine cloud cover which shielded the encampment (as spelled out in the Targumim to Lev. 23:43), which R. Simeon ben Laqish takes as formed by mist from the earth; thatching has to imitate the cloud cover arising from the earth. Babli 11b.. Rebbi Tanḥuma said, each of them follows his own opinion. Rebbi Joḥanan who said that the clouds were above infers it from when you collect. Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish who said that the clouds were below infers it from the clouds. Rebbi Abbin said, each of them follows his own opinion. Rebbi Joḥanan compares it to one who sends to another an amphora and its pitcher. Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish compares it to one who says to another, bring your box and take wheat for yourself¹⁵²R. Joḥanan also agrees that the roof of the sukkah has to symbolize clouds. He does not agree that clouds are generated by mist from the earth but are sent by God to give rain to the farmers. R. Simeon ben Laqish is presumed to think that clouds are generated by the earth and then filled with rain by God. Both agree that the sukkah is a charm to assure abundant rain in the coming wet season. Detailed argument Gen. rabba13(10)..

Rebbi Abbahu in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Because it looks like a storage¹⁸⁶And not like a sukkah made expressly for the holiday. In his opinion the prohibition is purely rabbinic.. Rebbi Ḥiyya stated, you shall make for yourself¹⁴⁹Deut. 16:13., not from what already was made for you¹⁸⁷The sukkah is invalid by biblical standards.. What is the difference between them? If it is in it¹⁸⁸There is a hollow in the stack before he starts making a sukkah(Babli 17a). Carving out the sukkah means making walls. Since the essence of the sukkah is its roofing, being preexisting it is disqualified for R. Ḥiyya. It may be qualified for R. Joḥanan since one does not remove parts in the middle from a stack used as storage.. In Rebbi Ḥiyya’s opinion it is disqualified, in Rebbi Joḥanan’s opinion it is qualified.
