Talmud do Wyjścia 30:2

Rebbi Abbahu said, Rebbi Joḥanan and Rebbi Simeon ben Laqush disagreeed. One said, one builds and afterwards one dedicates³⁰⁸One builds as if the buildings were profane. Only when the Temple enclosure is complete does one dedicate the Temple area, and when the walls of Jerusalem are rebuilt does one dedicate the city. During the building period one is not restricted by all the rules applying to the Temple area. This is possible since the dedication by Solomon was annulled by the destruction of the Temple. One has to assume that it is possible to dedicate the area of the altar and its enclosure without dedicating the Temple, as done in the time of the first return from Babylonia under Cyrus, Ezra 3:3,6.. The other one said, one dedicates and afterwards one builds³⁰⁹He holds that the dedication by Solomon is permanent. Therefore, anybuilding must be done under restrictive rules (but it can be built in stages, cf. Mishnah Idiut 8:6). If the outline of the Temple enclosure or the original city walls was still visible in Zerubabel’s time, no rebuilding was necessary in order to restore the service of the altar.. For him who says, one builds and afterwards one dedicates, one does not say that the partitions are as if built up³¹⁰They actually have to be restored before Temple service can be resumed whole or in part.. If one desires to add to the Temple Hall, by which means does one add³¹¹In imitation of the rules given for dedication of the city of Jerusalem under Nehemiah, any dedication must involve a sacrifice. The Babli, loc. cit. ²⁹⁹, insists that the sacrifice be used in the place to be dedicated. This leads to a catch-22 situation since a sacrifice can be dedicated only after the dedication of the holy place. There is no reason to assume that the Yerushalmi accepts this reasoning.? By the two loaves³¹²The two loaves of leavened bread dedicated on Pentecost to permit use of new wheat, Lev. 23:17. This is in imitation of the leavened bread used for the dedication of the city, cf. ²⁹⁵. A parallel discussion is in the Babli, Ševuot 15a/b.. Does one dedicate on a holiday³¹³Since the dedication has far-reaching legal consequences, it has the status of an acquisition, which is not acceptable on Sabbath or holiday, Is. 58:13. In addition, the Babli points out that the dedication of the leavened breads is the slaughter of the accompanying well-being sacrifice; then the dedication would not be by bread.? Then by the Shew Bread. Does one dedicate on the Sabbath³¹⁴The Shew Bread is removed from the sanctuary on the Sabbath, Lev. 24:8. It becomes available for secondary use on the Sabbath, when it cannot be so used.? Then in the night³¹⁵The following evening, after the end of the Sabbath.. Does one dedicate in the night³¹⁶Ex. 30:2 prescribes that the Tabernacle be erected during daytime. This rule then is extended to include all building activity of the Temple.? Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, with a baked flour offering³¹⁷The daily flour offering of the High Priest, Lev. 6:12–16.. One understands that on their return from the diaspora they sacrificed and then dedicated. When they entered the Land,³¹⁸When they entered the Land, they had the Tabernacle which was dedicated in the desert. What one asks here is, how was Solomon’s Temple dedicated? with what did they dedicate? Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, with two thanksgiving sacrifices coming from Nob³¹⁹The priests’ settlement at Nob already was destroyed at the time when the priests from Nob resided at Anatot. The active place of worship was Gibeon, but “Nob and Gibeon” is used as a legal term to indicate the status of holy places after the destruction of Shiloh, before the building of the Temple; cf. Mishnah Zevahim 14:7. and Gibeon.
