Talmud su I Re 14:78

HALAKHAH: “A man who had sexual relations with a male.” From where the warning¹²⁹A prohibition the penalty for which is not spelled out carries a penalty of flogging (Deut. 25:21). For any more serious infraction the pentateuchal style requires that separate verses must spell out (1) the prohibition, (2) the penalty to be imposed by the court, (3) the penalty imposed by Heaven in case the crime was not observed by two blameless adult male witnesses and, therefore, no court case was possible. In case of sexual crimes this would mean that the witnesses have to see the sex act. For a civil case, such as a husband wishing to divorce his wife because of her adultery, without paying her ketubah, it is enough for witnesses to testify to her going to a room with another man, locking the door, and extinguishing the lights. But this is not enough for a criminal conviction. for a person having sexual relations with a male¹⁷³The form זְכוּר denotes, if not the penis, then the male as appendix to his sex organ.? With a male you shall not sleep in women’s ways¹⁷⁴Lev. 18:22. A general parallel to this paragraph is in the Babli, 54b.. From where extirpation? For anybody who would commit any of these abominations will be extirpated^131,Lev. 18:29.¹³⁵The verse is slightly misquoted., etc. Punishment from where? A man who would sleep with a male in women’s ways, an abomination did both of them commit; they shall be put to death; their blood be on them¹⁷⁵Lev. 20:13.. You learn their blood be on them from their blood be on them¹⁵Lev. 20:12. From Lev. 20:27: they shall be put to death, by a stone they shall be stoned, their blood be on them, it is inferred that any expression “their blood be on them” means execution by stoning. Babli 54a.. That is for the active one. For the passive one from where? With a male you shall not sleep in women’s ways, read: to be slept with¹⁷⁶The unvocalized text תשכב can be read either with the masoretes as active תִּשְׁכַּב “you shall sleep” or as passive תִּשָּׁכֵב “you shall be slept with”. The nonstandard vocalization in the text is from the ms. (Babli 54b).. So far following Rebbi Aqiba. Following Rebbi Ismael? There shall be no qadeš among the sons of Israel¹⁷⁷Deut. 23:18. The identification of the qadeš as the male prostitute follows later from the verse in Kings.. From where extirpation for the passive homosexual following Rebbi Ismael? Rebbi Jeremiah in the name of Rebbi Abbahu. It says here qadeš and it says there, also a qadeš was in the land¹⁷⁸1K. 14:24.. You learn qadeš from qadeš and qadeš from abomination¹⁷⁹It is assumed that qadeš means the same in both verses. Also, qadeš must refer to the male since the feminine form qedešah is explicitly mentioned in Deut. 23:18. 1K. 14 continues: They did all the abominations of the peoples whom the Eternal had uprooted from before the Children of Israel. These abominations are referred to in Lev. 18:29 and the only abominations unique to a male are homosexuality and active bestiality. In the Babli, 54b, both R. Ismael’s and R. Aqiba’s statements are quoted as baraitot; partially also in Sifra Qedošim Pereq 9(12).. Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Ada in the name of Rebbi Ḥanina: Abomination from abomination¹⁸⁰In Lev.20, the expression abomination is only used for the homosexual. This implies that the qadeš in 1K. 14:24, and therefore in Deut. 23:18 is engaged in homosexual acts.. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, a baraita¹⁸¹Not recorded elsewhere. states this: Both committed an abomination¹⁷⁴Lev. 18:22. A general parallel to this paragraph is in the Babli, 54b.. Both are stoned, both are subject to warning, both by extirpation.

GEMARA. ‘Always be dignified’, etc. R. Samuel b. Naḥmani said:¹³Sanh. 105b-106a (Sonc. ed., p. 721). What is the meaning of the verse, For the Lord will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water?¹⁴1 Kings 14, 15. Better is the curse wherewith Aḥijah the Shilonite cursed Israel than the blessing wherewith the wicked Balaam blessed them. Aḥijah the Shilonite cursed Israel with a reed, as it is written, For the Lord will smite Israel as a reed is shaken in the water. But Balaam blessed them with the cedar, as it is written, As cedars beside the waters.¹⁵Num. 24, 6 Therefore ‘be tender like the reed and do not be hard like the cedar … therefore the reed merited’, etc.
Why did dogs merit that of their excrement sacred books and tefillin should be made?¹⁶The parchment of Torah scrolls and tefillin is treated with the excrement of dogs. Because it stated, But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog whet his tongue.¹⁷Ex. 11, 7. Similarly you may ask, Wherein lay the merit of the haḥiroth?¹⁸i.e. Pi-haḥiroth of Ex. 14, 2. It was a sanctuary connected with the Semitic deity Baal-Zephon, in whose worship licentious rites were practised. When the women beheld the Israelites, they abandoned their rites and as a reward the place was named חִירׂת read as חֵרוּת, ‘freedom’. Cf. Tanḥuma, Balaḳ, §17, Ginzberg, Legends of the Jews, III, pp. 10f. They were harlots and when they caught sight of Israel they turned their faces backward and are therefore called ḥeruth.

The money taken from Egypt was returned to its proper place, as it says (Exodus 12:36), “They stripped the Egyptians.” And it also says (Genesis 47:14), “Joseph gathered in all the money.” [And it also says (I Kings 14:25–26), “In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, King Shishak of Egypt marched against Jerusalem and carried off the treasures of the House of the Eternal.”] The heavenly writing was also returned to its place, as it says (Proverbs 23:5), “It flies from your eyes and is there no more, [it grows wings and flies like an eagle, heavenward].”
