Talmud su Proverbi 21:41

How for kings? If he died in Adar and a king took office in Adar it is counted as a year for both of them. Rebbi Jonah said, only if he reached Nisan. Otherwise like the following, he ruled one month in Samaria⁴⁵2K. 15:13. If he had ruled longer, it would have counted for a year.. You can determine the years of the kings of Israel only through the years of the kings of Jehudah, and you can determine the years of the kings of Jehudah only through the years of the kings of Israel⁴⁶Since there were overlapping years at the start and end of each reign, and there might have been shifts between Western counting from Nisan and Eastern counting from Tishre, the correspondences given in Kings are necessary to establish the correct correspondences. This leaves uncertainty for the days of the united monarchy.. It is written⁴⁷1K. 2:11.: And the time that David ruled over Israel was forty years, etc. And it is written⁴⁸2S.5:4. Then according to the rules given earlier, the reign should have been counted as 41 years. Cf. Babli Sanhedrin107a/b., in Hebron he ruled over Jehudah seven years and six months, etc. In total they are deficient and in detail excessive. Rebbi Isaac bar Qaṣaṣata in the name of Rebbi Jonah: they were thirty-two and a half years, but to honor Jerusalem he counts them as entire. The great Jehudah says, the greater number absorbs the lesser⁴⁹But according to our rules, the numbers should have been rounded up, not down.. ⁵⁰The following sentence is from Berakhot2:1 (Notes 66–67), also Mo`ed qatan3:7 (83d l.4). As answer to the problem of the excess 6 months it is unsatisfactory. Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman said, when your days will be complete⁵¹2S. 7:12.. The Holy One, praise to Him, said to David: I am counting full days for you, I am not counting missing days for you. ⁵²Corrector’s addition from the parallels, where the added text represents the main argument. Here the addition is irrelevant.[Will not your son Solomon build the Temple to sacrifice? Law and justice that you are upholding is more to my liking than sacrifices, as it is said⁵³Prov. 21:3., upholding justice and law is preferred by the Eternal to sacrifice.] Rav Huna said, the entire six months during which David was in flight before his son Absalom, his sins would have been atoned for by a female goat as for a commoner⁵⁴This statement is from Horaiot3:3, Note 111. Since during Absalom’s revolt David was not ruling as a king, the 40½ years of his reign actually were only 40 years of rule.. Rebbi Yudan ben Rebbi Shalom said, it is written⁵⁵1K. 11:16., for six months dwelt there Joab and all of Israel. The Holy One, praise to Him, said to him: I did tell you, do not attack them⁵⁶Deut. 2:5., but you desired to attack them. By your life, they will not be counted for you⁵⁷Therefore the 41 years are recorded as 40..

Rebbi Yudan in the name of Rebbi Isaac said it in four versions. Flesh and blood has a protector⁴³Latin patronus, who was obliged to protect his clients.. When they tell him, your client was arrested, he will say: I will protect him. When they tell him, he is going before a court, he will say: I will protect him. When they tell him, he is taken to be hanged, where is he and where is his protector? But the Holy One, praise to Him, saved Moses from the sword of Pharao; that is what is written (Ex. 18:4): “He saved me from the sword of Pharao.” Rebbi Yannai said⁴⁴Most of the following is also in Exodus rabba 1(37)., it is written (Ex. 2:15): “Moses fled from before Pharao.” Is it possible for flesh and blood to flee from the government?⁴⁵R. Yannai takes the sentence to mean that “Moses fled from before the face of Pharao,” as translated here, and not “Moses fled because of Pharao,” as usually understood. But at the moment when Pharao arrested Moses, he sentenced him to have him beheaded. The sword slipped off the neck of Moses and broke. That is what is written (Songs 7:5): “Your neck is like the ivory tower,” that is Moses’s neck. Rebbi⁴⁶The name of the tradent is missing; he cannot be Rebbi since R. Eviathar belongs to the second generation of Amoraïm and exchanged letters with Rav Ḥisda and Rav Sheshet. The sentence is missing in Shemot rabba. said, Rebbi Eviathar: Not only that, but He moved the sword from the neck of Moses on the neck of the executioner and killed him. That is what is written: “He saved me from the sword of Pharao.” He saved me, but killed the executioner. Rebbi Berekhiah quoted on this (Prov. 21:18) “The evil one is ransom for the just one.” Rebbi Abun quoted on this (Prov. 11:8): “The just will be extricated from distress, the evil one will take his place.” Bar Qappara stated: An angel came down and appeared to them in the shape of Moses. They arrested the angel and Moses fled. Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said: when Moses fled from before Pharao, all his troops⁴⁷Semitic plural of Greek ὄχλος, “multitude” (of people, troops). became dumb, deaf, or blind. He asked the dumb, where is Moses? But they could not speak. He asked the deaf, they could not hear. He asked the blind, they could not see. That is what the Holy One, praise to Him, said to Moses (Ex. 4:11): “Who gave man a mouth, or who makes dumb?” There it upheld you and here you do not want to uphold. That is what is written (Deut. 4:8): “Who is like the Eternal, our ĕlōhīm, always when we call on Him!”

BARAITHA.¹K 16. R. Judah said: The bold-faced are [destined] to Gehinnom and the shamefaced to the Garden of Eden. The bold-faced, R. Eliezer said, is the bastard; R. Joshua said: the son of a niddah; R. ‘Aḳiba said: both a bastard and the son of a niddah.
GEMARA. What is R. Judah’s reason [for his statement]? For it is written, A wicked man hardeneth his face.²Prov. 21, 29. Since he hardens his face he is termed wicked and the wicked man is [destined] to Gehinnom. And according to R. Judah, what if he repented? He will answer: There is no [likelihood of] repentance for the bold-faced. ‘The shamefaced to the Garden of Eden’. It has been taught: The shamefaced will not easily yield to sin, as it is stated, And that His fear may be before you, that ye sin not.³Ex. 20, 17; in the Heb. text XX, 20. What is the meaning of the word for ‘a bastard’ [mamzer]? R. Eliezer said: Me’um zar [‘something strange’].⁴i.e. anyone objectionable; cf. Yeb. 76b (Sonc. ed., p. 517).

Rebbi Ḥinena bar Pappos used to distribute his charity in the night. Once the prince of spirits encountered him. He said to him, did not our teacher teach us: Do not displace your neighbour’s boundaries⁹⁷Deut. 19:14.? He said to him, but is it not written, a gift in secret appeases anger⁹⁸Prov. 21:14.? He was afraid of him and fled from him.

¹²⁶This again is the Babylonian version of the text in Berakhot and Mo`ed Qaṭan. There is no generation without scoffers. What did the hooligans of David’s generation do? They went to David’s windows and said to him: David, when will the Temple be built, when will we go to the Eternal’s house? David said, even though they intend to enrage me, something should come over me were I not happy, I enjoy it when they say to me: let us go to the Lord’s house¹²⁷Ps. 122:1.. When your days will be complete and you will lie with your forefathers¹²⁸2Sam. 7:12.. The Holy One, praise to Him, said to David:, I am counting full days for you, I am not counting missing days for you. Will not your son Solomon build the Temple for public sacrifice? Law and justice that you are upholding is more to my liking than sacrifices, as it is said¹²⁹Prov. 21:3., upholding justice and law is preferred by the Eternal to sacrifice.]

HALAKHAH: Slaying you shall slay the inhabitants of that town by the sword, etc. ³⁷⁰Tosephta 14:5. Rebbi Simeon says, its domesticated animal, not first born or tithes found there; its booty, not Temple money or Second Tithe found there³⁷¹All the items enumerated are Heaven’s property. While the second part of the verse insists that the town’s property must be destroyed, Heaven’s property cannot be destroyed. The disposal of Heaven’s property is discussed in Mishnah 9. Babli 112b.. Rebbi Yose ben Ḥanina asked: What is the status of hair of its just women³⁷²Since a woman could cut off her hair and sell it to a wig-maker, it represents value. Should the woman be forced to cut off her hair before she is forced to leave town following the conviction of the town for organized idolatry? Since Temple money must be taken out undamaged, so the just woman must be taken out unhurt. The Babli, 112a, somewhat disagrees.? Let us hear from the following: Rebbi Simeon says, its domesticated animal, not first born or tithes found there; its booty, not Temple money or Second Tithe found there. The sancta of a seduced town³⁷³Once an animal has been dedicated as sacrifice, all private use of it is larceny (Lev.5:14–16)., Rebbi Joḥanan said, one cannot commit larceny with them; Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, one can commit larceny with them. Rebbi Joḥanan objected to Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: According to your opinion that one can commit larceny with them, should one not state that “six purification offerings are left to die”³⁷⁴Mishnah Temurah 4:1 enumerates 5 kinds of purification offerings which can neither be redeemed nor sacrificed. An animal dedicated by an idolator of a seduced town should be added as sixth kind. Babli 112a.? He answered, because in this case even an elevation offering dies³⁷⁵Mishnah Temurah 4:1 only treats cases particular to purification offerings.. Rebbi Hila in the name of Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: One can commit larceny with them because of sancta of an apostate. Should they not be sacrificed? Because of the sacrifice of an evildoer is an abomination³⁷⁶Prov. 21:27. The Babli, Hulin 5a, finds the same result in Lev. 1:2.. Rebbi Uqba said, also in the following they disagree: ³⁷⁷Bava qamma 4:9, Notes 122–125 If a bull was led out to be stoned when its witnesses were found to be perjured, Rebbi Joḥanan said, the first to come acquires it; Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, it was false despair. Similarly, if a slave was led out to be executed when its witnesses were found to be perjured, Rebbi Joḥanan said, he acquired himself; Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, it was false despair.

There is no generation without scoffers. What did the hooligans of that generation do? They went to David’s windows and said to him: David, when will the Temple be built, when will we go to the Eternal’s house³⁵⁸Knowing that he could not build it.? But he said, even though they intend to enrage me, it comes over me that I am happy, I enjoy it when they say to me: let us go to the Lord’s house³⁵⁹Ps. 122:1.. When your days will be complete to go to your fathers³⁶⁰1Chr. 17:11. The quote in Berakhot is influenced by 2S. 7:12.; Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman said, the Holy One, praise to Him, said to David: `I am counting full days for you, I am not counting missing days for you³⁶¹This is one of the blessings bestowed on Israel at Sinai (Ex. 23:26) that the Just will live complete years, as in fact Moses died on his 120^th birthday. The actual age of David is never mentioned.. Will not your son Solomon build the Temple to sacrifice? Law and justice that you are upholding is more to my liking than sacrifices.’ What is the reason? Upholding justice and law is preferred by the Eternal to sacrifice³⁶²Pr. 21:3..

Rebbi Ḥinena bar Pappai used to distribute his charity in the night. Once the prince of spirits encountered him. He said to him, did not our teacher¹⁵²Moses. The implication is that humans should leave the night for spirits since it is dangerous to go out then (Mishnah Avot 3:8). teach us (Deut 19:14): “Do not displace your neighbor’s boundaries.” He said to him, but is it not written (Prov. 21:14): “A gift in secret appeases anger.” He was afraid of him and fled from him.

Be happy when you donate gifts [of charity] quietly¹⁴lit. ‘from your house’. so that the anger [of the Angel of Death]¹⁵GRA omits ‘the Angel of Death’ and it may refer to God’s anger. may be diverted from you, as it is stated, A gift in secret pacifieth anger, and a present in the bosom strong wrath.¹⁶Prov. 21, 14.

Rabbi Dosa ben Hyrcanus would say: Sleeping through the morning, drinking wine in the afternoon, [the chatter of little children, and sitting around in the gathering houses with the common folk; these things drive a person from the world.]
Sleeping through the morning. How so? This teaches that a person should not plan to sleep so late that the time for reciting the Shema will pass. As, if he does sleep that late, he will end up wasting time he could have spent studying Torah, as it says (Proverbs 26:13), (“The door turns on its hinges, but the lazy one is still in his bed.) The lazy one says: There is a leopard in my path. A lion roams the streets.”
Drinking wine in the afternoon. How so? This teaches that a person should not plan to drink in the afternoon, because whenever he does, he ends up wasting all the time he could have spent studying Torah, as it says (Ecclesiastes 10:16), “Woe is the land whose king is a child, and whose ministers eat late in the morning.” And then, “Happy is the land whose king is a free man [and whose ministers eat at the right time; with restraint, not guzzling].” And what is the right time? One might say it is in some future yet to come, as its says (Isaiah 60:22), “I, the Eternal, will bring it about at the right time.” Or (Numbers 23:23), “At the right time Jacob will tell Israel [what God has planned].” The Holy Blessed One said to Bil’am, “At the right time,” not: In the right time; that is, not in the time you live, but at some future time when I redeem Israel.
The chatter of little children. How so? This teaches that a person should not plan, when he is studying in his house, to chat with his wife and his sons and daughters. For when a person is studying in his house, and becomes distracted with his children and the people in his house, he ends up wasting time he could have spent studying Torah, as it says (Joshua 1:8), “Do not let this book of Torah depart from your mouth; reflect on it day and night.”
Sitting around in the gathering houses with the common folk. How so? This teaches that a person should not sit with those who sit around in the marketplace, or he will end up wasting time he could have spent studying Torah, as it says (Psalms 1:1–2), “Happy is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked […for only the Torah of the Eternal does he desire].” Rabbi Meir said: What does it mean [in the continuation of the verse] by “sitting with those who mock”? (Not to sit in) the theaters of mockers (in which they sentence people to death), as it says (Psalms 26:5), “I hated the gathering of evildoers, and I will not sit with the wicked.” (And the evildoers are the wicked, as it says [Psalms 37:9], “For the evildoers will be cut off.” Where is their punishment? In the World to Come, as it says) (Malachi 3:19), “For behold, the day is coming that blazes like an oven, and all the sinister and all those who do wickedness will be like straw.” These “sinister” ones are the mockers, as it says (Proverbs 21:24), “The sinister, arrogant one is called a mocker.”

Ben Zoma would say: Who is wise? One who learns from every person, as it says (Psalms 119:99), “From all my teachers I gained insight.”<br>Who is the humblest of all? One who is humble like Moses our teacher, as it says (Numbers 12:33), “And the man Moses was exceedingly humble.”
Who is the richest of all? One who is happy with what he has, as it says (Psalms 128:1), “You will eat from the work of your hands, and you will be happy and prosperous.”<br>Who is the strongest of all? One who is able to conquer his desire, as it says (Proverbs 16:32), “Better to be forbearing than mighty, to have self-control than to conquer a city.” And one who conquers his desire is considered as if he had conquered a city full of warriors, as it says (Proverbs 21:22), “One wise man prevailed over a city of warriors.” The true warriors are warriors in Torah, as it says (Psalms 103:20), “Mighty warriors do His bidding.” Some say these are the angels who serve God, as it says (ibid.), “Bless the Eternal, His angels, [mighty warriors.]” And some say: One who can turn an enemy into his friend.

The Divine Presence would depart from one place and go to another in ten movements: From the Ark’s cover to a cherub; from a cherub to the threshold of the Temple; from the threshold to in between the two cherubs; from in between the two cherubs to the roof of the Sanctuary; from the roof of the Sanctuary to the wall of the outer court; from the wall of the outer court to the altar; from the altar to the city; from the city to the (Temple) Mount; from the (Temple) Mount into the desert. From the Ark’s cover to a cherub, as it is written (II Samuel 22:2), “And He mounted a chariot and flew.” From a cherub to the threshold of the Temple, as it is written (Ezekiel 9:3), “(And the presence of God) went up from the cherub on which it had rested to the threshold of the Temple.” From the threshold to in between the two cherubs, as it is written (Ezekiel 10:18), “And the presence of the Eternal went out from the threshold of the Temple and stopped above the cherubs.” From in between the two cherubs to the roof of the Sanctuary, as it is written (Proverbs 21:9), “It is better to rest upon the corner of a roof.” From the roof of the Sanctuary to the wall of the outer court, as it is written (Amos 7:7), “And behold, my Lord was standing on a wall measured by a plumb line.” From the wall of the outer court to the altar, as it is written (Amos 9:1), “I saw my Lord standing by the altar.” From the altar to the city, as it is written (Micah 6:9), “The voice of the Eternal calls to the city.” From the city to the Mount, as it is written (Ezekiel 11:23), “The Presence of the Eternal ascended from the midst of the city and stood upon the Mount.” From the Mount into the desert, as it is written (Proverbs 21:19), “It is better to dwell in a desert land.” And finally it departed upward, as it says (Hosea 5:15), “I will go and return to My place.”
