וּבִרְא֤וֹת יְהוָה֙ כִּ֣י נִכְנָ֔עוּ הָיָה֩ דְבַר־יְהוָ֨ה אֶל־שְׁמַֽעְיָ֧ה ׀ לֵאמֹ֛ר נִכְנְע֖וּ לֹ֣א אַשְׁחִיתֵ֑ם וְנָתַתִּ֨י לָהֶ֤ם כִּמְעַט֙ לִפְלֵיטָ֔ה וְלֹא־תִתַּ֧ךְ חֲמָתִ֛י בִּירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם בְּיַד־שִׁישָֽׁק׃
여호와께서 저희의 스스로 겸비함을 보신지라 여호와의 말씀이 스마야에게 임하여 가라사대 저희가 스스로 겸비하였으니 내가 멸하지 아니하고 대강 구원하여 나의 노를 시삭의 손으로 예루살렘에 쏟지 아니하리라
Jerusalem Talmud Taanit
Explanation28Greek δήλωμα. A shortened version is in Thr. rabba3(33).. Rebbi Abba bar Zavda, Rebbi Tanḥum bar Ilai, and Rebbi Joshia came to the fast. Rebbi Abba bar Zavda preached: Let us lift our hearts on the palms29Thr. 3:41.. Is this possible? May a person take his heart and put it on his hand? So what means “let us lift”? Let us treat our hearts equal to our hands30Which one always washes to keep them clean., and then to God in Heaven. So if somebody would hold a crawling animal31A dead crawling animal as enumerated in Lev. 11:29–30, as source of original impurity. Babli 16a. in his hand, even if he immerses himself in the waters of Siloam or of the ocean, he never can become pure32In A one reads: even if he immerses himself in all oceans he never will be pure. If he throws it from his hands, even if he only immerses himself in the waters of the Siloam which are 1x1x2 cubits, he immediately is pure.. But if he throws it33The dead crawling animal. from his hand he immediately is pure. Rebbi Tanḥum bar Ilai preached: The ministers of Israel and the King submitted and said, the Eternal is just. And when the Eternal saw that they submitted, the Eternal’s word was to Shemaya as oracle342Chr. 12:6–7.. It is not written “their fast” but they submitted, I shall not destroy them. Rebbi Joshia preached: Become improved and improve35Zeph. 2:1., let us purify ourselves before we purify others36Babli Sanhedrin18a,19a, Bava batra 60b, Bava meṣi`a107b.. Since here are people present who calumniate me before Rebbi Joḥanan. But every single one is called to justice. Attending were Rebbi Ḥiyya37Bar Abba., Rebbi Issy38Usually he is called Yasa, in the Babli Assi., and Rebbi Immi. They got up and left39What offended them in R. Joshia’s sermon is everybody’s guess; each commentator has his own opinion..
