Talmud su Deuteronomio 26:16

HALAKHAH: It was stated in the name of Rebbi Jehudah: Any place where it was said in any of these expressions: you begin and say, thus, and thus⁴³The first and last expressions were mentioned in the Mishnah. כה “thus” is the introduction to the priests’ blessing, Num. 6:23., it means in the holy language. Rebbi Eleazar said, the defining paradigm for all is: “Moses would speak and God would answer him by voice⁴⁴Ex. 19:19. This is not a reference to the statement of R. Jehudah, but to the argument of the Mishnah. While in that verse, the root ענה does not have the meaning of “to begin to speak” but “to answer”, the mention of קול “voice”, which was in Hebrew, transfers to the recitation of the Levites, who have to speak בְּקוֹל רָם “in the voice of the High”, where High is a Title of God, Is. 56:15; cf. below, Note 61..” Rebbi Ḥaggai objected, is there not written, “Laban and Bethuel began⁴⁵Gen. 24:50. As noted later, they spoke Aramaic.,” if you say because of “beginning” only, is there not written “and said⁴⁶That verse contains both roots, ענה and אמר, even if they are separated by the names of the speakers. Therefore, the argument of R. Jehudah is invalid.”? If you want to say, by “saying” only, is there not written “from the Eternal came the word”⁴⁷This is a counter-argument. Since Laban and Bethuel admitted that the betrothal of Rebecca was a word of the Eternal, did they not speak Hebrew at that moment?? If you want to say, in the holy language, is there not written “the stone heap of testimony⁴⁸Gen. 31:47. Since Laban had to translate Jacob’s גַלְעֵד into Aramaic, it follows that he did not speak Hebrew.”? If you want to say, before the Torah was given, is there not the text of the declaration of tithes⁴⁹Deut. 26:16. However, there only the root אמר is used. which may be recited in any language⁵⁰Cf. Mishnah 1.?

Rebbi Huna bar Aḥa¹⁵¹He is not otherwise known. in the name of Rebbi Alexandros: Come and see the power of those who keep the Commandments because all “lookings down” in the Torah¹⁵²Gen. 18:16, 19:28 (Sodom), 26:8 (Abimelekh and Rebekka), Ex. 14:24 (Egyptians on the Sea). This refers only to hiph‘il of שקף. are curses but this one is in the language of blessing. Rebbi Yose ben Ḥanina said, not only that but it is written¹⁵³Starting words of the next paragraph guaranteeing instant response. (Deut. 26:16) “this day,” the condition of every day.
