신명기 31:26 탈무드 참조: Jerusalem Talmud Shekalim & Jerusalem Talmud Sotah

Rebbi Tanḥuma said, I asked before Rebbi Phineas: It is acceptable following Rebbi Jehudah⁴⁹The verse quoted next which implies that the Torah scroll was not in the Ark., it is not acceptable following Rebbi Meןr. What is the reason of Rebbi Jehudah? To take this Torah scroll and put it next to the side of the Ark of the Eternal’s covenant⁵⁰Deut. 31:26., etc In the opinion of Rebbi Jehudah, who said, where the Torah scroll was put? They made for it a kind of case⁵¹Greek γλωσσοκομε̅ι̅ον, τό. outside and the Torah scroll was put into it. What is the reason of Rebbi Meןr? You should put the cover on top of the Ark⁵²Ex. 25:21.. In the opinion of Rebbi Meןr who says that there is no earlier and later in the Torah, in the Ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give to you⁵³Ex. 25:16., and after that, you should put the cover on top of the Ark. Rebbi Phineas in the name of Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: ⁵⁴Text of B: The Torah which He gave to Moses was white fire engraved in black fire; it is of fire quarried from fire, born from fire, given into the right hand of the Holy One, praise to Him, at it is said, From His right hand, the fiery law to them. The Torah which the Holy One, Praise to Him, gave to Moses, was white fire engraved in black fire. It was fire mixed with fire; hewn from fire, given from fire: That is what is written⁵⁵Deut33:2.: From His right hand, the fiery law to them.

Rebbi Joḥanan said, the Ark was made with a cubit of six handbreadths. Who stated “a cubit of six handbreadths”? This is Rebbi Meïr. As we have stated⁹⁸Mishnah Kelim 17:10.: “Rebbi Meïr says, all cubits were average⁹⁹There was also a small cubit of 5 handbreadths and a large one of 7..” According to Rebbi Meïr who says that the Ark was made with a a cubit of six handbreadths, the length of the Ark was fifteen cubits, as it is written¹⁰⁰Ex. 25:10.: “Its length two cubits and a half.” Each cubit was six and half a cubit three¹⁰¹This Aramaic insert of elementary counting seems to be a gloss.. Four tablets were in it, two broken ones and two whole ones¹⁰²In the Babli (Baba batra 14b, Menaḥot 99a) attributed to the fourth generation Amora Rav Joseph., as it is written¹⁰³Deut. 10:2. This explanation of the verse requires the removal of the masoretic dividing accent. and a revocalization וַשַּׂמְתָּם with waw conversive.: “Which you broke and put into the Ark.” Each of the tablets was six handbreadths in length and three in width¹⁰⁴In the Babli (Baba batra 14a, Nedarim 38a, Menaḥot 99a), the tablets are said to have been six by six handbreadths with a height of three, lying one after the other in the Ark for a total length of 12 and width 6.. If the widths of the tablets were in the length of the Ark, there were three handbreadths left¹⁰⁵Four tablets lying side by side with their long sides touching one another fill an area of 12 by 6 handbreadths.. Apply them to the cylinder¹⁰⁶Probably the Torah scroll, cf. Note 95. The Torah scroll should have been “next to the Ark”, Deut. 31:26.. The width of the Ark was nine handbreadths, as it is written: “A cubit and half a cubit.” A cubit six and half a cubit three. Four tablets were in it, two broken ones and two whole ones. Each of the tablets was six handbreadths in length and three in width. If the lengths of the tablets were in the length of the Ark⁹⁷In Šeqalim: תֵּן אָרְכָּן שֶׁלַּלּוּחוֹת לְאָרְכּוֹ שֶׁלָּאָרוֹן “If the lengths of the tablets were in the length of the Ark”. This text is the correct one since in the text here the second case is identical with the first., there were three handbreadths left¹⁰⁷If the tablets were put into the Ark lengthwise in pairs, they fill a rectangle of length 12 and width 6.. On each side half a handbreadth to have a handle, and two handbreadths as place to put there the Torah scroll¹⁰⁸The first hand in Šeqalim here also has “for the cylinder” (اٌسطونة), proving the equivalence of “cylinder” and “Torah scroll”; cf. Note 121..

Rebbi Tanḥuma said, I asked before Rebbi Phineas: It is acceptable following Rebbi Jehudah, it is not acceptable following Rebbi Meïr¹²³The verses seem to imply that the Torah scroll was not in the ark.. What is the reason of Rebbi Jehudah? “To take this Torah scroll¹²⁴Deut. 31:26, “and put it beside the Ark”, cf. Note 106.”. In the opinion of Rebbi Jehudah, who said, where the Torah scroll was put? They made for it a kind of case¹²⁵Read גלוסקום for גלוסקוס; Greek γλωσσόκομον “case, covering, chest”. outside and the Torah scroll was put into it. What is the reason of Rebbi Meïr? “You should put the cover on top of the Ark.¹²⁶Ex. 25:21.” In the opinion of Rebbi Meïr who says that there is no earlier and later in the Torah¹²⁷The order of verses in the Torah does not imply either logical or temporal dependency. Accepted in the Babli, Pesaḥim 6b; Num. rabba 9(44)., “in the Ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give to you,¹²⁸Ex. 25:16, five verses earlier.” and after that, “you should put the cover on top of the Ark.” Rebbi Phineas in the name of Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish¹²⁹Cf. Tanḥuma Berešit 1, Cant. rabba 5(12).: The Torah which the Holy One, Praise to Him, gave, its leather was white fire, its inscription was black fire, it was fire mixed with fire; hewn from fire, given from fire: “From His right hand, the fiery law to them.¹³⁰Deut. 33:2.”
