에스더 9:31 탈무드 참조: Jerusalem Talmud Megillah & Megillah

HALAKHAH: “The scroll is read,” etc. Rebbi Ila, Simeon bar Abba in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: To confirm these Purim days in their times⁷Esth. 9:31.. Why does the verse say, in their times? Rebbi Jonah and Rebbi Yose. Rebbi Jonah says, to give them other times⁸He would allow other days than those enumerated in the Mishnah if circumstances demand it.. Rebbi Yose says, times which the Sages fixed for them. And those are these: the Eleventh, the Twelfth, the Thirteenth, the Fourteenth, the Fifteenth⁹Since the days enumerated in the Mishnah are supposed to have been decreed by the Great Assembly, they could be modified only by an assembly of greater authority. It is unlikely that such an assembly ever could be convened. Differently in the Babli, 2a.. Or maybe only the Sixteenth and the Seventeenth? Rebbi Abbahu in the name of Rebbi Eleazar: and it shall not pass by¹⁰Esth. 9:27., one shall not impregnate¹¹The language is taken from calendar computation where “intercalation” is called “impregnation”. Here it means “changing the usual calendar data.”. Rebbi Isaac bar Naḥman in the name of Samuel: and it shall not pass by, and one shall not let it pass¹²Reading the root עבר not as rabbinic Hebrew “to be pregnant” but as biblical Hebrew “to pass by”. One may not celebrate Purim later than the last date mentioned in the Scroll, the 15^th of Adar.. Maybe it is only the Ninth and the Tenth? Samuel bar Naḥman in the name of Rebbi Jonathan: It is not written “days” but like the days¹³Esth. 9:22., pair days with days, the Eleventh and Twelfth corresponding to Fourteenth and Fifteenth. Or the Twelfth and Thirteenth corresponding to Fourteenth and Fifteenth? Rebbi Ḥelbo said, the Thirteenth was a day of war¹⁴Esth. 9:1.. It proves for itself that it was not a day of comfort. Then one should not read on this day. One reads before and after, on the day one should not read¹⁵Excluding the 13th would be technically impossible. Cf. Meïri Megillah, ed. M. Herschler, pp. 14/15.? Or only the Ninth and the Tenth? Like the days, days close to the days. But if days close to the days, {maybe} only Sixteenth and Seventeenth? You cannot, for Rebbi Abbahu said in the name of Rebbi Eleazar: and it shall not pass by, one shall not impregnate¹¹The language is taken from calendar computation where “intercalation” is called “impregnation”. Here it means “changing the usual calendar data.”. [Rebbi Isaac bar Naḥman in the name of Samuel: and it shall not pass by, and one shall not let it pass.¹⁶Corrector’s addition from the earlier text, totally out of place since one speaks of predating, not postdating.]

R. Shemen b. Abba said in the name of R. Yohanan: The verse says, “To uphold these days of Purim in their times.” They established many “times” for them.

But why not say that the unwalled cities are on the fourteenth, and the walled cities can [celebrate] if they like on the fourteenth or if they like on the fifteenth? The verse says, “In their times” (Esther 9:31) the time of one is not the same as the time of the other.
