시편 90:3의 차시두트

Keep the Shabbat strictly, according to the Halachah,³⁶Torah law with all its details and specifics. The mnemonic by which to remember this, is the verse,³⁷Psalms 90:3 “You turn back-Tashev-תשב man-Enosh-אנוש into pulp.” The word “You turn back-Tashev-תשב” consists of the same letters as, “Shabbat-שבת.” The word used for man here is, “Enosh-אנוש” indicating that, “Even if he is an idolater, like the generation of Enosh, he will be forgiven.”³⁸Talmud Bavli, Shabbat 118b; See Genesis 4:26; Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Avoda Zara Ch. 1 – Rabbi Chiyah bar Abba said that Rabbi Yochanan said: Anyone who observes Shabbat in accordance with its laws, even if he worships idolatry as in the generation of Enosh, he is forgiven, as it states, ‘Fortunate is the man-Enosh who does this, and the person who holds strong to it, one who guards the Shabbat from desecrating it-Mechalelo, and guards his hand from doing any evil.’ (Isaiah 56:2). Do not read ‘from desecrating it-Mechalelo-מחללו,’ but rather, ‘he is forgiven-Machul Lo-מחל לו.’”
