Talmud su Proverbi 20:23

“And candle lighting²²Preparing lighting for the Friday evening meal is the duty of the wife (Babli 25b) and should not be delegated to a servant. Since this is an obligation tied to a fixed time it cannot be a biblical commandment as women are not subject to positive commandments tied to fixed times. But in the Halakhah to Mishnah 6 (Note 214) the obligation of the wife to light Sabbath candles is called a (rabbinic) commandment. Cf. Maimonides, Hilkhot Šabbat 3:1..” The First Man was the light of the world, as is said²¹⁵Prov. 20:23., God’s light is Adam’s soul. Eve caused him death, therefore they handed the commandment of the light to the woman. ²¹⁶Babli 32a, Berakhot 31b. Tosephta 2:10. It was stated: Rebbi Yose says, there are three clingings of death and all three were handed to woman: These are they, the commandment of Niddah, the commandment of ḥallah, and the commandment²¹⁷This homily and the following story of R. Eliezer are the only occurrences where lighting on Sabbath Eve is called a commandment; cf. Note 22. of lighting the light.
