창세기 11:1의 탈무드

HALAKHAH: It is written²⁶⁷Gen. 11:1. all Earth was one tongue and unified words. Rebbi Eleazar and Rebbi Joḥanan. One said, they were speaking seventy languages²⁶⁸Everybody understood all languages of the 70 peoples mentioned as descendants of Noah.. But the other said, they were speaking in the language of the Unique of the World, the holy language. Bar Qappara stated, may God embellish Japhet and dwell in the tents of Shem²⁶⁹Gen. 9:27., that one should speak Japhet’s language in Shem’s tents²⁷⁰Greek was the common language of all Jews in the Roman Empire.. The sons of Japhet: Gomer and Magog, and Yawan, and Tubal, and Meshekh, and Tiras²⁷¹Gen. 10:2.. Gomer, Germamia²⁷²The district Jerma in N. Assyria. It is to be noted that Saadia Gaon in his Arabic Pentateuch translation disregards the determinations both of the Yerushalmi and the Babli (Yoma 10a) for the descendants of Sem and Japhet but follows the determinations given here for the descendants of Ham (Gen. 10:18–19).. Magog, Gothica. Madai, as it is understood²⁷³Media.. Yawan, Ephesus²⁷⁴Representing all of Ionia.. Tuval, Bythinia. Meshekh, Moesia. Tiras, Rebbi Simon said Persia, but the rabbis said Thrace. The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphat, and Togarma²⁷⁵Gen. 10:3.. Asia²⁷⁶Not the continent, nor Asia Minor, but probably the city of Sardis., and Adiabene, and Germanicia²⁷⁷A city in the province of Comagene, near the border of Cappadocia.. The sons of Yawan: Elisha, and Tarshish, Kittim and Dodanim²⁷⁸Gen. 10:4.. Elis²⁷⁹Possibly Aeolis. Note that in the text two names are written as one., Tarsos, Euboea, and Dardania²⁸⁰Dardanos in the Troas.. The Arwadite²⁸¹Gen. 10:18., Rhodos. The Ṣamarite, Ḥoms. The Ḥamatite, Ḥama. Up to Lasha`. Rebbi Eleazar said, to Kallirrhoe. Rebbi Yudan bar Shalom said, from here about the Targum²⁸²Since the names in the Hebrew text are unintelligible, the text itself authorizes translations which make it intelligible..

Love all people. How so? This teaches us that a person should love all people and not hate anyone. For so we find with the people of the Generation of the Dispersion,¹See Genesis 11:1–9. that because they loved one another, the Holy Blessed One did not want to wipe them off the face of the earth, but instead only scattered them to the four corners of the world. But the people of Sodom, because they hated one another, the Holy Blessed One took them out of both this world and the World to Come, as it says (Genesis 13:13), “And the people of Sodom were very wicked and sinful against God.” “Sinful” – this is sexual transgression; “against God” – this the desecration of God’s name; “very” – this means that they sinned intentionally. From this you learn that because they hated one another, the Holy Blessed One took them out of both this world and the World to Come.7.
