Talmud su Neemia 8:8

From where the translation? Rebbi Ze`ira in the name of Rav Ḥananel: They read in the Scroll of the Torah<sup>33</sup>Neh. 8:8., that is the reading. Explained, that is the translation<sup>34</sup>Since this is proved from a text in Hagiographs, the Targum has the status of an institution of the Men of the Great Assembly.. Making sense, these are the accents<sup>35</sup>Which indicate the divisions of sentences into logical units.. And understood the reading, this is the Masora, and some say, these are the decisions<sup>36</sup>The sentences where the caesura and therefore the meaning is not obvious. Avodah zarah 2:8, Notes 325 ff., and some say, these are the starts of verses<sup>37</sup>The division of the text into verses is oral tradition since no punctuation is permitted in the text. The last three options are variants of the theme that the text is intelligible only on the basis of traditional pronunciation. Babli 3a, Nedarim 37b.. Rebbi Ze`ira in the name of Rav Ḥananel: Even an expert in the Torah like Ezra should not pronounce with his mouth³⁸One may not recite a Torah text by heart (nor, as pointed out in the sequel, write the text by heart.) Babli 18b. and read as it is said about Baruch: And from his mouth he would read all these words to me and I was writing on a scroll with ink³⁹Jer. 36:18.. But was it not stated⁴⁰Babli 18b, Tosephta 2:5., “it happened that Rebbi Meïr was in Essia where there was no Esther scroll written in Hebrew, when he wrote it by heart and read it. One does not infer from emergency situations. But there are those who say that he wrote two. He wrote the first by heart, and copied the second one from the first one, put away the first and read from the second.” Rebbi Ismael ben Rebbi Yose says, I can write the entire Torah from memory. The Elder Rebbi Ḥiyya said, I can write the entire Torah for two minas⁴¹Babli Bava meṣia` 85b.. How would he do it? He buys flax seed for two minas, sowed and harvested it, made ropes to catch deer and wrote the entire Torah on their hides. Rebbi heard it and said, happy is (the people) [the generation]⁴²The corrector’s change is unnecessary since Rebbi is known as proponent of correct use of Hebrew; for him גוי means “people”, not “Gentile”. to which you belong.

There are Tannaim who state, he opens, looks, rolls up, and recites the benediction. There are Tannaim who state, he opens, looks, and recites the benediction. Rebbi Ze`ira, Abba bar Jeremiah, Rav Mattanah in the name of Samuel, Practice follows him who said, he opens, looks, and recites the benediction¹⁵⁹A person who comes to read from the Torah must first recognize the place from which he is going to read and then pronounce the benediction. The Babli 32a explains that the first opinion (attributed to R. Meïr) requires him to close the scroll so people should not think that the benediction is written in the text. The second opinion (attributed to R. Jehudah) notes that everybody knows the benediction by heart and therefore will know that the benediction is not written in the scroll.. And what is the reason? When he opened it, the entire people stood up¹⁶⁰Neh. 8:5.. What is written afterwards? ¹⁶¹From here on there is a parallel in Berakhot 7:4, 11c line 29 ff.Ezra praised the Eternal, the Great God¹⁶²Neh. 8:8.. In what did he declare Him great? Rebbi Giddul said, by the explicit Name. Rav Mattanah said, he declared Him great by the benediction. Rebbi Simon in the name of Rebbi Joshua ben Levi: Why are they called the men of the Great Assembly? Because they re-instituted the grandeur to its old glory¹⁶³Babli Yoma 69b.. Rebbi Phineas said, Moses instituted the prayer formula, the God, the Great, the Strong, and the Awesome¹⁶⁴Deut. 10:17, incorporated into the first benediction of the Amidah.. Jeremiah said, the Great and Strong God¹⁶⁵Jer. 32:18.; he did not mention “the Awesome”. Why is He strong? He is appropriately called strong since He sees the destruction of His Temple and is silent. Why did he not mention “Awesome”? Awesome is only the Temple, as it is written, God Awesome in Your Sanctuary¹⁶⁶Ps. 68:36.. Daniel said the Great and Awesome God¹⁶⁷Dan. 9:4.. Why did he not mention “the Strong”? His sons are delivered to iron collars¹⁶⁸Latin collare.; where is His strength? But why does he say, Awesome? He is appropriately called awesome by the awesome deeds he made for us in the fiery oven. But when the men of the Great Assembly arose they re-instituted the grandeur to its old glory: But now, our God, the Power, the Great, the Strong, and the Awesome, keeper of Covenant and grace, may it not be little in Your eyes¹⁶⁹Neh. 9:32., etc. But does flesh and blood have the power to state limits in these matters¹⁷⁰Is it possible to ascribe criticism of God to Prophets and Sages?? Rebbi Isaac bar Eleazar said, the prophets know that their God is truthful and they do not flatter him.
