Talmud su Salmi 128:78

HALAKHAH: It was stated²⁰¹Babli 18a.: One allows him neither milk, nor eggs, nor cheese, nor fat meat, nor old wine, nor spiced wine, nor bean groats, nor lentils, Samuel said, nor citrus medica, nor anything which causes emission of semen. Nevertheless one was quoting for him the verse²⁰³Ps. 127:1. If the Eternal does not build the house, in vain toil its builders., if the Eternal does not build the house, etc. But was this not of the miracles which happened in the Temple²⁰⁴Enumerated in Mishnah Avot 5:5. One of the ten miracles was that never was the High Priest incapacitated by an emission of semen on the Day of Atonement.? Rebbi Abun said, because of you shall not try²⁰⁵Deut. 6:16.. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, there in the first {Temple}, here in the second²⁰⁶Mishnah Avot 5:5 applies only to the First Temple..

It was stated¹⁴¹Tosephta Kilaim 1:10.: “One does not graft olives on the stem¹⁴²Explanation of Rashbam to Babli Baba Batra 62b. Explanations of the Mayence commentary, “a row of date palms,”and of R. Saul Lieberman, “branch of a date palm.” Literally: “One does not make an olive tree ride on the vehicle of a date palm.” of a date palm because that would be tree on tree.” Rebbi Yudan asked, does that not disagree with Rebbi Levi¹⁴³The sermon is brought in Midrash Tehillim 128(4), in the name of R. Joshua ben Levi. Since R. Levi was a professional preacher, the attribution to him is more convincing. The objection here is not to the sermon but to its underlying hypothesis; one cannot object to sermons.? “(Ps. 128:3) ‘Your wife be like a fruitful vine on the sides of your house, your sons like saplings of olive trees around your table.’ Just as olive trees are not subject to grafting¹⁴⁴Meaning that one does not graft olive trees since nothing could be gained by it., thus in your sons shall not be found any flaws¹⁴⁵Neither should your sons be of uncertain paternity, or from an unlawful wife, nor should they have such problems in their families..” But here it follows that there are flaws in them¹⁴⁶If olive trees can be grafted onto something else, your sons could be grafted on you.. There is a difference here, because in the end it¹⁴⁷The sap from the date palm stump. will sweeten its fruit. Similar to that, Rebbi Simeon, the son of Rebbi¹⁴⁸The second son of Rebbi, colleague of R. Ḥiyya. In his will, Rebbi appointed his older son, Gamliel, as political head, and his younger son as ḥakham, the final halakhic authority., used to water his peach tree with cooked wine¹⁴⁹Pasteurized grape juice without alcohol. in order to sweeten its fruit.

This is the way [conducive to] the study of the Torah: a morsel of bread with salt thou shalt eat,²⁴The usual meal of the poor; cf. Ber. 2b (Sonc. ed., p. [[illegible]]). and water by measure²⁵Cf. Ezek. 4, 11. shalt thou drink, thou must sleep on the ground and live a life of hardship²⁶i.e. privation. and [yet] labour in the Torah. [If you act in this manner,] Happy shalt thou be and it shall be well with thee:²⁷Ps. 128, 2. happy shalt thou be in this world, and it shall be well with thee in the World to Come.
Seek not greatness and covet not honour Not learning, but doing is the more important.²⁸Cf. Aboth I, 17 (Sonc. ed., p. 9), III, 12 (Sonc. ed., III, 9, pp. 32f.). and do not crave for the table of kings, for your table is greater than their table and your crown than their crown.²⁹Cf. ibid. IV, 17 (Sonc. ed., IV, 13, p. 51). The crown of the Torah is first in the enumeration, to indicate its superiority over the other two. Faithful is your Employer to pay you the reward for your labour.

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.
