에스겔 13:18의 탈무드
וְאָמַרְתָּ֞ כֹּה־אָמַ֣ר ׀ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֗ה הוֹי֩ לִֽמְתַפְּר֨וֹת כְּסָת֜וֹת עַ֣ל ׀ כָּל־אַצִּילֵ֣י יָדַ֗י וְעֹשׂ֧וֹת הַמִּסְפָּח֛וֹת עַל־רֹ֥אשׁ כָּל־קוֹמָ֖ה לְצוֹדֵ֣ד נְפָשׁ֑וֹת הַנְּפָשׁוֹת֙ תְּצוֹדֵ֣דְנָה לְעַמִּ֔י וּנְפָשׁ֖וֹת לָכֶ֥נָה תְחַיֶּֽינָה׃
이르기를 주 여호와의 말씀에 사람의 영혼을 사냥하고자 하여 방석을 모든 팔뚝에 꿰어 매고 수건을 키가 큰 자나 작은 자의 머리를 위하여 만드는 부녀들에게 화 있을진저 너희가 어찌하여 내 백성의 영혼을 사냥하면서 자기를 위하여 영혼을 살리려 하느냐
Tractate Kallah Rabbati
‘Five things’, etc.: ‘A round cushion’. Why?27Why is not their stuffing removed before immersion? For it is written, Woe to the women that sew cushions upon all elbows, and make pads for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls!28Ezek. 13, 18. Here cushions are compared with pads [mispaḥoth]: just as a ‘scab’ [sapaḥath] is clean, as it is written, Then the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a scab,29Lev. 13, 6. so too is a cushion clean.30i.e. the stuffing in it need not be removed before the cushion is immersed.
The Rabbis taught:31Sanh. 68a (Sonc. ed., p. 462). [The story is related in ARN, p. 124ff.] When R. Eliezer fell sick, all the wise men of Israel came to visit him. That day was the Sabbath-eve and he was wearing his tefillin. His son entered to remove them from him,32Because they are not worn on the Sabbath. but he rebuked him and drove him away in anger. [The son] said to the wise men, ‘I believe that my father’s mind is deranged’. Whereupon [R. Eliezer] exclaimed, ‘His mind and that of his mother are deranged but my mind is not’. As he was dying, he put two of his fingers together and said, ‘Woe to me because of these two Scrolls of the Torah!33The parallel passage in Sanh. adds: ‘that are wrapped up’, so that they cannot be read. So had it been with his knowledge, none learning from him because he had been excommunicated. Cf. B.M. 59b (Sonc. ed., p. 353). Much Torah have I learnt and much Torah have I taught,34Before the ban. yet I extracted little from the knowledge of my teachers like a dog lapping from the sea. My disciples have only extracted little from me like a painting-stick from its tube. If all the trees were made into pens and all the seas into ink, they would not suffice to write down all that I expounded. Moreover, I have studied three hundred laws on the subject of a deep bright spot35One of the symptoms of leprosy (Lev. 13, 2). and three hundred established laws36i.e. decisions arrived at after discussion. derived from the verse, Thou shalt not suffer a sorceress to live,37Ex. 22, 17. and no man, excepting ‘Aḳiba b. Joseph, ever questioned me thereon’ [54a].
The master said, ‘Like a dog lapping from the sea’—he compared himself to a dog! He said it with reference to his disciples. And why to his disciples? Because they did not visit him during his illness; and it has been taught: He said concerning them, ‘I will be surprised if they die a natural death’.38Sanh. loc. cit.
