역대하 26:5의 탈무드

HALAKHAH: “After the earlier prophets died, Urim and Tummim stopped.” Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman in the name of Rebbi Jonathan: These are Samuel and David²⁰⁵Since there is no explicit reference in Scripture about priestly oracles in books later than Samuel. In the Babli, 48b, this is the opinion of Rav Huna, the most prominent of Rav’s students.. Rebbi Abba bar Cahana in the name of Rav: These are Gad and Nathan²⁰⁶David’s court prophets.. Rebbi Jeremiah, Rebbi Samuel bar Isaac in the name of Rav: These are Jeremiah and Barukh. The word of Rebbi Joshua ben Levi implies that these are Jeremiah and Barukh. For Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said²⁰⁷2Chr. 26:5. The quote proves that oracles were used by kings after David (even though Zacariah is not mentioned in the list of high priests in Ezra 7 and Urim and Tummim were high-priestly oracles), as pointed out in the Babli by Rabba bar Samuel, a slightly younger contemporary of R. Joshua ben Levi. The Tosephta, 13:3, states that the oracle disappeared only with the destruction of the first Temple. In many quotes in Babli and Yerushalmi (e. g., Ta‘aniot 2:1 65a line 64, Yoma 21b) the oracle is mentioned in the list of five things missing in the second Temple., “it was when he asked God in the days of Zacariah who understood God’s visions.”
