다니엘 10:6의 탈무드

⁷⁷Cf. Num. rabba 12(10), Deut. rabba 5(12). Rebbi Simeon ben Yoḥai stated: Since the sky is made of water and the stars of fire and they dwell one with the other without damaging one another, therefore He makes peace in His heights. Rebbi Abun said, the angel himself is half water and half fire and composed of five kinds: His body is like chrysolite, and his face like the looks of lightning, and his eyes like torches of fire⁷⁸Dan. 10:6. The verse continues: and his arms and legs like shining brass, and the sound of his voice like the sound of a multitude., etc. Rebbi Levi said, a constellation⁷⁹Of the Zodiac. never sees what precedes it; but all of them rise like those who rise on an inverted ladder. The Holy One, praise to Him, created 365 windows for use in the world⁸⁰For the sun to use during the year., 182 in the East, 182 in the West, and one in the middle of the sky from where it appeared first at the creation. What the sun covers in thirty days, the moon covers in two and a half days⁸¹This is the approximate difference between the sidereal (or nodal) and synodic months.. What the sun covers in two months, the moon covers in five days. What the sun covers in three months, the moon covers in seven and a half days. What the sun covers in six months, the moon covers in fifteen days. What the sun covers in twelve months, the moon covers in thirty. Rebbi Jonah said, this is not the measure; it could be less⁸²Greek παρά, cf. E. Guggenheimer, H. Guggenheimer, Notes on the Talmudic vocabulary, 12–15. Leshonenu 39 (1975), 62–69. (Hebrew). than this⁸³Since the (average) difference between sidereal and synodic months is only 2 d 5 h, and even between nodal and synodic months it only is 2d 7h..
