Talmud su Giosuè 23:78

Jerusalem Talmud Sotah

281Num. rabba 9(24). It is written: “They came to the vineyards in direction of Timna.282Jud. 14:5.” Rav283The title has to be “Rebbi”. Samuel ben Rav Isaac said, this teaches you that his father and mother were showing him the vineyards in direction of Timna sown in several kinds and saying to him: My son, just as their vineyards are sown with several kinds so their daughters are sown with several kinds284They are children of adultery. Jud. 14:4.. “And his father and mother did not know that this was from the Eternal, that he was looking for a pretext from the Philistines.” Rebbi Eleazar said, In seven places it is written: “Do not contract marriage with them.285That verse is only in Deut. 7:3. But the prohibition of Canaanite women is also in Ex. 34:16. Outside the Pentateuch, the prohibition is mentioned Mal. 2:11, Ezra 9:2,12,14; Neh. 10:31.” Rebbi Abun said, to prohibit seven peoples286The seven Canaanite tribes enumerated in Gen. 15:20–21. Philistines are not mentioned in that list.. And here, it says so287It is not obvious what the remark means. According to R. David Fraenckel, since Simson’s relations with Philistine women were not forbidden, why was he punished? According to R. Moses Margalit, since all non-Jewish women are forbidden in the interpretation of pentateuchal law in Mal., Ezra, Neh., how can it be said that his first marriage was (Jud. 14:4) “from the Eternal”?? Rebbi Isaac said, “if he scoffs about the scoffers.288Prov. 3:34. According to R. David Fraenckel, since at least Simson’s relations with the Gazean prostitute and Dalilah were illegitimate, he deserved punishment.
