이스라엘이 바알브올에게 부속된지라 여호와께서 이스라엘에게 진노하시니라
Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin
It is written212Num. 25:3–4. The rage of the Eternal was kindled against Israel. The Eternal said to Moses: Take all the heads of the people and hang them for the Eternal before the sun. What he told him was, install their heads as judges over them and let them execute the sinners213Not the heads; cf. the Targumim. at daytime. That is what is written: Moses told the judges of Israel: each one should kill his men who cling to the Baˋal Peˋor214Num. 25:5.. How many were the judges of Israel215Halakhah 1:7, Note 356.? 78’600. Heads of thousands, 600. Heads of hundreds, 6'000. Heads of fifties, 12’000. heads of tens, 60’000. It turns out that the judges of Israel were 78’600. He told them, each of you should execute two. It turns out that the number of the killed was 157’200. Behold, a man from the Children of Israel came and introduced to his brothers the Midianite woman, to the eyes of Moses216Num. 25:6.. What means to the eyes of Moses217The text does not say before his eyes but in his eyes.? Like a man who says, that is in your eyes, Moses. He told him, is not Ẓippora a Midianite, and are not her hooves split218The sign of a kosher animal.? This one is pure, that one is impure? There, Phineas was present. He said, is there nobody who would kill him or be killed? Where are the lions? A lion whelp is Jehudah219Gen. 49:9.; Dan is a lion whelp220Deut. 33:22.; Benjamin a rapacious wolf221Gen. 49:27.. When Phineas saw that nobody of Israel did anything, he immediately rose from his court, took the spear in his hand, and put its iron under his belt222Latin fascia “band, girdle”.. He was leaning on its wood until he arrived at his door. When he arrived at his223Zimri ben Salu’s. door, they224The tribe of Simon, protecting their head. asked him, where to, Phineas? He said to them, do you not agree that everywhere the tribe of Levi is with the tribe of Simeon? They said, let him, maybe the Pharisees permitted the matter225Echoing a popular opinion that the “oral law” can be made to adapt to all circumstances, moral or immoral.. When he entered, the Holy One, praise to Him, performed six wonders for him226Babli 82b, in the name of R. Johanan.. The first miracle: usually they would separate, but the angel glued the one to the other227If they were not killed in the act, the killing would have been murder.. The second miracle: He directed the spear into her belly to that his penis should be seen inside her belly because of the fault-finders, lest they say that he muscled himself in with them and satisfied himself228In the Babli: Thus Phineas had direct proof in court that the killing was justified. Phineas’s act established a rule of law which could never be used again.. The third miracle: the angel closed their mouths, so they could not cry. The fourth miracle: they did not slip from the weapon but stayed in place. The fifth miracle: The angel lifted the lintel so that both of them were carried out between his shoulders. The sixth miracle: When the plague started to destroy the people, what did he do? He threw them on the ground and prayed. That is what is written: Phineas stood and prayed; the plague was arrested229Ps. 106:30..
