Talmud su Numeri 34:9

Rebbi Simon and Rebbi Abbahu were sitting. He said, is it not written (Jud. 1:18) “Jehudah conquered Gaza and its territory”? Include Gaza⁶¹This refers to the question of tithes due from the territory conquered by the twelve tribes under Joshua even if they could not hold onto their conquests, as argued by R. Ismael ben R. Yose. For this opinion, all that is described in the Torah and the book of Joshua is subject to tithes. The commentators translate ליתי עזה by “this is not Gaza”, meaning that Gaza town is not the Gaza mentioned in the verse. But the Yerushalmi uses לית only as “no; not”, never as “not being”; the latter is always spelled out לא אית; ליתי as verbal form can be derived only from אתי “to come”, not from אית “to be”.. “Ascalon and its territory”, include Ascalon. If it is so, what about the brook of Egypt⁶²Jos. 15:4. Num. 34.9, identified by R. Saadia Gaon as Wadi el-‘Arish.? Include the brook of Egypt.

This is part of the Biblical Holy Land that was not settled by the returnees from Babylon but which is so sparsely inhabited and infrequently visited that no decree was deemed necessary.? Rebbi Simon in the name of Rebbi Joshua ben Levi: Because its oases are poor. How far? Rebbi Ḥanin in the name of Rebbi Samuel ben Rabbi Isaac: Up to the brook of Egypt⁶²Jos. 15:4. Num. 34.9, identified by R. Saadia Gaon as Wadi el-‘Arish.. But is not the oasis of Gaza a good one?
