Talmud su Salmi 129:8

Explanation: Rebbi Ḥinena bar Pappa⁵³It seems that he is the R. Ḥinena who usually is quoted without patronymic. and Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman passed by one of the ploughmen⁵⁴A Jew. in the Sabbatical. Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman said to him, may you succed. Rebbi Ḥinena bar Pappa said to him, did not Rebbi teach us (Ps. 129:8): “The passers-by did not say,” this implies that it is forbidden to say “may you succeed” to one who ploughs in the Sabbatical. He told him, you know how to read but you do not know how to make a homily. “The passers-by did not say,” refers to the nations of the world who pass out of the world⁵⁵In contrast to Israel, these nations have only a limited life span., they did not say to Israel “the blessing of the Eternal is on you.” What does Israel say to them, “we bless you in the Name of the Eternal.” All blessings that come into the world because of us⁵⁶The material blessing given by God because the Jews keep the laws of the Torah. [Cf. H. Guggenheimer, The Scholar’s Haggadah (Northvale 1995), pp. 205–208.] are not enough for you, you do not say, come and take from these blessing for yourselves, but you roll over us pro-rated contributions and fines⁵⁷Greek ζημία, ἥ., head taxes and annonae²²One has to assume that under the Severan dynasty, Jewish farmers did not have to deliver provisions (annona) to the army during the Sabbatical year. R. Yannai can be dated to the early military anarchy in the third Century. In the Babli (Sanhedrin 26a) it is stated that R. Yannai proclaimed: Go and sow in the Sabbatical year because of the annona..

Explanation¹⁵⁵Greek δήλωμα.. Rebbi Ḥanina bar Pappa and Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman passed by one of the ploughmen in the Sabbatical. Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman said to him, may you succeed. Rebbi Ḥanina bar Pappa said to him, did not Rebbi teach, the passers-by did not say¹⁵⁶Ps.129:8., etc., that it is forbidden to say “may you succeed” to one who ploughs in the Sabbatical? He told him, you know how to read but you do not know how to make a homily. The passers-by did not say, these are the nations who pass out of the world because they did not say to Israel, the blessing of the Eternal is on you. What does Israel say to them? We bless you in the name of the Eternal. Israel says to them, all the good things and happy circumstances that come into the world because of us are not enough for you; you do not say, come and take from these blessings for yourselves, but you roll over us pro-rated contributions¹⁵⁷Aramaic and Syriac פיסא “piece”, here used in the sense of individual contribution to a tax imposed on the community (I. Löw). and fines¹⁵⁸Greek ζημία., head taxes and annonae¹⁵⁹The annual contributions in kind for the upkeep of the Roman army..

²⁴⁹The essence of the paragraph is missing in this copy; cf. the full text in Seviʻit 4:3, (Notes 50–57). The paragraph should not be taken as a variant of the text but as a hint to look up the original. Rebbi Ḥiyya, Rebbi Ammi. One said: “Plough it well then, I will rent it from you after the Sabbatical.” The other one said: “May you succeed” For him who says, plough it well, then I will rent it from you after the Sabbatical, what means “one greets them” in a Jewish way? “May you succeed.” For him who says to the Gentile “may you succeed”? Explanation: Rebbi Ḥinena bar Pappa and Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman passed by one of the ploughmen in the Sabbatical. Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman said to him, are you not Jewish? Rebbi Ḥinena bar Pappa said to him, did not Rebbi teach us (Ps. 129:8): “The passers-by did not say, the blessing of the Eternal be on you,” these are the nations of the world who pass out of the world, they did not say to Israel “the blessing of the Eternal is on you.” What does Israel say to them, “we bless you in the Name of the Eternal.” All blessings that come into the world because of us are not enough for you; not only do you not say, come and take from these blessings for yourselves, but you roll over us pro-rated contributions and fines, head taxes and annonae.
