Talmud su Deuteronomio 29:27

MISHNAH: The Ten Tribes will not return in the future, as it is said³²⁸Deut. 29:27., He threw them into another country like this day. As this day passes and does never return, so they go, never to return, the words of Rebbi Aqiba. Rebbi Eliezer says, like this day, as the day gets dark and then light, so also they for whom there was darkness there will be light in the future.

The lamed of wayyashlikem¹⁹Deut. 29, 27, and cast them. must be long.²⁰i.e. longer than the other letters. By its elongation, the lamed is treated as the beginning of a word consisting of it and the following two letters, LaKem which means ‘to you’, implying homiletically God’s promise, ‘I will be a God to you even after you have been cast into another land’.

Ten of the tribes will not be granted eternal life, and will not even be given a trial, for it says (Deuteronomy 29:27), “The Eternal plucked them up from the ground [and cast them into another land, where they remain to this day].” Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai says: Just as “this day” on which they have rebelled passes and will never return, so will they never return. But Rabbi Akiva says: Just as “this day” is dark and then gets lighter, so will their darkness one day become lighter. (Rabbi Gamliel says: See, it says (Deuteronomy 11:21), “In order that you and your children will endure.” And it also says (Deuteronomy 24:16), “Parents shall not be put to death for their children.” So when the parent’s life extends, so does the child’s. [But when the parent’s life does not extent, neither does the child’s.] Rabbi Yosei HaGalili supports the position of Rabbi Eliezer, and Rabbi Gamliel supports the position of Rabbi Yehoshua.
