Talmud su Isaia 8:18

¹⁵⁴Gen. rabba 42(4), Esther rabba Introduction, Lev. rabba 11, Ruth rabba1(7). But what did Aḥaz do? He built a throne in the Temple Court. That is what is written: “The throne-hall which they built in the Temple,¹⁵⁵This exists no such verse. Probably, as indicated by Qorban ha ˋEdah, the reference is to 2K. 16:18: The Sabbath shelter which they had built in the temple …”” etc. Rebbi Onias in the name of Rebbi Eleazar. Why is he called “the grabber¹⁵⁶אחז “to grab”.”? For he grabbed synagogues and houses of study¹⁵⁷To close them down.. To what may Aḥaz be compared? To a king who had a son whom he entrusted to his pedagogue¹⁵⁸Greek παιδαγωγός, the slave accompanying the child.. The latter wanted to kill him. He said, if I kill him, I will be put to death. But I shall draw his wet-nurse away from him and he will die of himself. So Aḥaz said, if there are no kid goats there are no he-goats. If there are no he-goats there are no goats. If there are no goats there is no shepherd¹⁵⁹God.. If there is no shepherd there is no world; if it were thinkable that there be no world. So Aḥaz was thinking, if there are no children¹⁶⁰Going to school. there are no adults. If there are no adults, there are no Sages. If there are no Sages, there are no prophets. If there are no prophets, there is no Holy Spirit. If there is no Holy Spirit, there are no synagogues and no houses of study. If it were thinkable, the Holy One, praise to Him, will not let His Presence rest over Israel. Rebbi Jacob bar Abbai in the name of Rebbi Aḥa brings it from the following¹⁶¹That Ahaz had eliminated all religious instruction, Is. 8:17. I shall wait for the Eternal, Who hid His Face from the House of Jacob, and put my hope in Him. There was no worse moment in the world than when the Holy One, praise to Him, said to Moses¹⁶²Deut. 31:18.: I shall certainly hide My Face at that time. From that moment on, I put my hope in Him, Who said at Sinai,¹⁶³Deut. 31:21. This was not said at Sinai but in the steppes of Moab; it is a promise that the study of Torah will never cease. for it shall not be forgotten by his descendants. What would its use be¹⁶⁴Is. 8:18. A different interpretation in the Babli 19b.? Behold, I and the children which the Eternal has given me. Were they his children? Were they not his students? But this teaches he loved them as if they were his sons and called them “my sons”.
