Talmud su Ecclesiaste 5:5

אַל־תִּתֵּ֤ן אֶת־פִּ֙יךָ֙ לַחֲטִ֣יא אֶת־בְּשָׂרֶ֔ךָ וְאַל־תֹּאמַר֙ לִפְנֵ֣י הַמַּלְאָ֔ךְ כִּ֥י שְׁגָגָ֖ה הִ֑יא לָ֣מָּה יִקְצֹ֤ף הָֽאֱלֹהִים֙ עַל־קוֹלֶ֔ךָ וְחִבֵּ֖ל אֶת־מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יָדֶֽיךָ׃

Non soffrire la tua bocca per mettere in colpa la tua carne, né dire davanti al messaggero, che era un errore; perché Dio dovrebbe essere arrabbiato con la tua voce e distruggere il lavoro delle tue mani?

Jerusalem Talmud Chagigah

Rebbi Jehudah bar Pazi in the name of Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Jehudah: Three lectured their teachings41About the Work of the Chariot. in front of their teachers: Rebbi Joshua in front of Rabban Joḥana ben Zakkai, Rebbi Aqiba in front of Rebbi Joshua, Ḥananiah ben Ḥakhinai in front of Rebbi Aqiba. From there on their mind was not pure42Studies of Ez. 1 were no longer tolerated.. Four entered the Garden43Gnostic interpretations., One peeked and was hurt; one peeked and died; one peeked and cut saplings, one entered in peace and left in peace. Ben Azzai peeked and was hurt; about him the verse says44Prov. 25:16. The implication is that eating more than his fill is dangerous., if you found honey, eat your fill. Ben Zoma peeked and died, about him the verse says45Ps. 116:15., dear in the Eternal’s eyes is the death of his pious. Aḥer peeked and cut saplings. Who is Aḥer? Elisha ben Abuya, who killed the children of Torah. They said, if he saw a student excelling in Torah he killed him. Not only this, but he went to the school house and saw children in front of their Bible teacher. He said, what are these sitting doing here? The profession of this one is builder, the profession of this one is carpenter, the profession of this one is hunter, the profession of this one is tailor. When they heard this, they left him46The teacher. and went away. About him the verse says47Eccl. 5:5., do not let your mouth make your flesh sin48This quote seems to support Y. Kutscher’s suggestion that “Aḥer” does not mean “the other” but “the one in heat”, since “flesh” describes the male organ., etc.; for he destroyed the deeds of himself. Also in the time of religious persecution they49The Romans, during the Hadrianic persecutions. made them50The Jews. carry loads. They50The Jews. intended that two together should carry one load, because of two persons who performed one work51It is implied that the Jews were forced to carry on the Sabbath. Two people carrying one load do not break a biblical prohibition. Cf. Šabbat Chapter 1, Note 105.. He52Elisha ben Abuya. said, make them carry singly. They49The Romans, during the Hadrianic persecutions. went and made them carry singly. They50The Jews. intended to unload in karmelit, in order not to carry from a private to a public domain53To avoid breaking a biblical prohibition, Šabbat Chapter 1, Note 73.. He52Elisha ben Abuya. said to them49The Romans, during the Hadrianic persecutions., let them carry flasks; they made them carry flasks54To be transported from one private domain to another through public domain, a biblical infraction.. Rebbi Aqiba entered in peace and left in peace; about him the verse says55Cant. 1:4. Babli 15b., draw me, I shall run after you, etc.

Tractate Kallah

Another interpretation of Ye that inflame yourselves among the terebinths: Whoever arouses himself and masturbates forfeits his life, as it is stated, And Er, Judah’s first-born, was wicked in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord slew him.74Gen. 38, 7. His sin was that he prevented pregnancy; cf. Midrash Rabbah, Genesis, LXXXV, 4 (Sonc. ed., p. 792). And whoever deliberately causes an erection is a transgressor, as it is stated, And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of the Lord.75ibid. 10; cf. the preceding verse.
Even children meet the Divine Presence, as it is stated, A seed shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord unto the next generation.76Ps. 22, 31; cf. Sanh. 110b (Sonc. ed., p. 761). It shall be told indicates that when God’s glory can be related by a person, i.e. even a child when he is able to speak, he earns his right to a share in the World to Come. For what sin do a man’s children die [young]?77Shab. 32b (Sonc. ed., p. 148); cf. Midrash Ecclesiastes 4, 1 (Sonc. ed., p. 110). R. Eliezer said: For the sin of [unfulfilled] vows, as it is said, Suffer not thy mouth to bring thy flesh into guilt … and destroy the work of thy hands.78Eccl. 5, 5. R. Nathan said: For the sin of [neglecting] the mezuzah, as it is written, And thou shalt write them upon the doorposts of thy house, and upon thy gates which is followed by that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children.79The prolonged life of the children is made conditional in Deut. 11, 20f., on the fulfilment of the preceding commandment. R. Nehorai said: For the sin of [neglecting] the ẓiẓith, as it is written, Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the innocent poor.80Jer. 2, 34; skirts refers to the precept of ẓiẓith. R. Joshua81GRA. emends to ‘R. Judah the Prince’. said: For the sin of [neglecting the study of] the Torah children die young, as it is stated, Seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children.82Hos. 4, 6. The parallel in Shab. 32b (Sonc. ed., p. 148) cites Jer. 2, 30. R. ‘Aḳiba said: Whoever does not occupy himself with [the study of] the Torah causes poverty to come upon his children.
What should a man do so that his children shall grow rich and flourish?83Reading with GRA ויתקיימו. Let him fulfil the will of God and the wishes of his wife. This is the will of God: Let him freely distribute his money to the poor, as it is stated, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth for ever.84Ps. 112, 9.
