Talmud do Izajasza 5:2

HALAKHAH: “A large courtyard was in Jerusalem called Bet Ya`zeq.” What is Bet Ya`zeq? There practice was hoed, as you say⁶¹Is. 5:2. Cf. Babli 23b., he hoed it and removed its stones.

It was stated¹⁰⁸Tosephta 3:15; Babli 49a.: “Rebbi Yose says, the basis was perforated down to the abyss. What is the reason? ¹⁰⁹Is. 5:2.He turned it up, removed its stones, planted precious vine, and built a tower in its midst, this is the Temple, and a wine-press he excavated in it, this is the altar. And also an altar, that is the basis.” Rebbi Simeon says, it was work of Heaven. Since it was work of Heaven, maybe it was not beautiful like artist’s work? The verse says, the roundnesses of your hips are like hoops, formed by artist’s hands¹¹⁰Cant. 7:2.; they were more beautiful than those formed by artist’s hands. It was stated¹⁰⁸Tosephta 3:15; Babli 49a.: “Rebbi Eleazar ben Rebbi Ṣadoq said, a small opening was between the Temple Hall and the altar. Once in seventy years young priests climb down and bring it¹¹¹The congealed remainders of the wine poured on the altar as libations. up in sanctity since it was congealed like fig cakes; they come and burn it in sanctity. Just as its pouring was in sanctity, so its burning was in sanctity.” Rebbi said, the Torah let you grasp an expression of love, an expression of fullness, and an expression of inebriation¹¹²Cf. Note 107, explanation of שכר.. Rebbi Judah bar Laqqara in the name of Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman: Since the Temple was destroyed, congealing wine disappeared, and white glass disappeared. What is white glass? It was flexible.
