Talmud su Ezechiele 45:16-46:18:12

³⁷⁵A different version is in the Babli, Bekhorot 5a. General Antigonos³⁷⁶In G, אגנטוס, cf. Note 267. asked Rabban Joḥanan ben Zakkai: Your teacher Moses either was a thief or he did not know how to compute, for it is written: a beqaˋ per head³⁷⁷The discussion is about Ex. 38:25,26 (in the LXX, ed. A. Rahlfs, 39:2,3) where it is stated that the Temple tax of a beqaˋ, half a šeqel, paid by 603’550 men came to 100 kikkar 1775 šeqel. The LXX follows rabbinic tradition in identifying the beqaˋ, the Babylonian zuz, with the drachma, i. e., the šeqel with the dupondius, and the kikkar(Accadic gaggarum “disk”) with the talent of 60 minas or 6’000 drachmas, i. e. 3’000 šeqel (cf. Qiddušin 1:1, Note 122.) But in Qiddušin 1:3 Note 339 it is declared that any šeqel mentioned in the Torah is a Roman tetradrachma. Then the silver contributed should have been twice the recorded amount, 201 talents 550 šeqel.. If you make the centenarius 100 pounds,³⁷⁸The libra weighing 100 drachmae is the natural weight equivalent of the Greek mina in coin. The centenarius,“hundredweight”, 100 pounds, is taken as the equivalent of the talent. But if by šeqel a tetradrachma is meant, a talent should have been 120 mina, not 60 as usual, and not 100 as presumed here. Computed from above, one-sixth is missing in the latter, half in the former case. he stole one sixth. If you make it 60 pounds, he stole half. He answered him, our teacher Moses was a trustworthy treasurer expert in computations. He answered him, is it not written, they contributed bronze twenty talents³⁷⁹A scribal error; in the verse (and G): 70 talents. The total recorded was 70 talents, 2’400 šeqel.; for us that makes 96 pounds³⁸⁰Since 25 tetradrachma make a mina,2’400 drachma are 96 mina. Nevertheless, the verse mentions šeqel, not mina. and he mentions them in detail. He answered back, because it does not add up to a centenarius; if you would say that it added up to a centenarius, he would have stolen half. He told him, but it is written 1’775, would that not make 71 pounds³⁸¹@ 25 tetradrachma each. and he mentions it in detail. He answered back, if you would say that it added up to a centenarius, he would have stolen half. He told him, but it is written, the sheqel is 20 gera, twenty sheqel, twenty-five sheqel, twenty-five sheqel the maneh³⁸²The Babylonian mina.shall be for you³⁸³Ez. 45:12; the correct text, intended here, is: 20 šeqel, 25 šeqel, 15 šeqel make a maneh, for a total of 60. Therefore, it is impossible to identify the Greek mina as 25 šeqel. Cf. Qiddušin 1:2 Note 204.; the talent of the Holy One, praise to Him, was double. He answered back, he³⁸⁴Read with G: “Your teacher Moses.” was a trustworthy treasurer and expert in computations.
