민수기 11:26의 탈무드

Rebbi Ḥaggai objected to Rebbi Yose¹²This is the correct reading, also given in Yoma, not R. Yasa as in Sanhedrin.. Is there not written: The two men shall stand¹³Deut. 19:17.? Now, is not two the minimum of “men”? Why does the verse say two? That both be equal? But it is written¹⁴Deut. 24:17.: Do not bend the lawsuit of the proselyte, the orphan, … That means that a proselyte can have a lawsuit against one who is not a proselyte, an orphan may have a lawsuit against one who is not an orphan, a widow against a married woman. Then why is there written two? It is free to be combined and to infer from it an equal cut. It is said here two and it is said there two men were left¹⁵Num. 11:26.74. Since there one speaks of men but not women nor underaged, also here men but not women nor underaged. From this we learn that a woman may not be a judge; consequently a woman may not be a witness.

We cover the hair of [dead] brides, uncover the face of [dead] bridegrooms,¹⁸As a sign of grief. and place ink and pen at their side,¹⁹As if to say that had the bridegroom lived he would have written a kethubah for his bride. and we do not fear [being suspected of] superstitious practices.
²⁰GRA deletes this paragraph which is printed by V in brackets. It has no relevance to the context and is derived from Sanh. 11a (Sonc. ed., p. 44). The text is in great disorder.(When Rabban Gamaliel the Elder entered [the meeting place of the Rabbis to intercalate the year], he found eight [present]. He asked, ‘Who is it that entered without permission?’ Samuel the Small arose and said, ‘Rabbi, I entered only to inquire about the law [of intercalation]’.²¹And not to take part in the proceedings without invitation. He answered, ‘O Eldad and Medad,²²Cf. Num. 11, 26. They were worthy that the Spirit of God should alight upon them. all Israel know that if I had ordered that only two should enter, you would have been one [of them] to enter’.)²³So highly was Samuel the Small esteemed.
We suspend the key and writing-tablet of a dead man from his coffin from grief of soul. When Samuel the Small died, they suspended his key and writing-tablet from his coffin because he had no son, and when Rabban Gamaliel the Elder and R. Eleazar delivered their funeral orations over him, they exclaimed, ‘For this one it is fitting to weep, for this one it is fitting to mourn. When kings die they leave their crowns to their sons; when wealthy men die they leave their riches to their children; but Samuel the Small has taken away with him all the desirable things in the world and has departed’. And thus he²⁴i.e. Samuel the Small under the influence of the Holy Spirit. spoke at the time of his death, ‘Simeon [b. Gamaliel] and Ishmael [the son of Elisha the High Priest]²⁵They met their death after the capture of Jerusalem. are destined for the sword and the rest of the people for spoliation; great distress will befall [Israel] after them’. He uttered these words in Aramaic.
