I wyprawił posłów do Bileama, syna Beora, do Pethoru, który nad rzeką, do ziemi ojczystej swojej, aby zawezwać go i powiedzieć: "Oto lud wyszedł z Micraim; oto zakrył widnokrąg ziemi, a osiadł on naprzeciw mnie;
Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin
298Ševuot 15b, the entire paragraph. How did the processions go? The elder Rebbi Ḥiyya and Rebbi Simeon ben Rebbi. One said, one opposite the other; the other said, one after the other; both are explaining the same verse: The second thanksgiving sacrifice went לְמוּל and I after it299Neh. 12:38, in MT למואל. According to Gesenius, one has to read מוּאל as contraction of מֵאֲוַל “not first, not with it”. This justifies both meanings quoted here, “opposite” and “after”.. He who said, one opposite the other, and he dwells opposite me300Num. 22:5.. But he who said, one after the other, he should break off its head behind its neck301Lev. 5:8.. For him who said, one opposite the other, it turns out that every place was purified by one thanksgiving sacrifice302In principle, one sacrifice would suffice if the procession went around the entire wall.; for him who said, one after the other, it turns out that every place was purified by two thanksgiving sacrifices303Since we do not expect two sacrifices for the same purpose, one has to find differences of purpose for the two.. For him who said, one after the other, this is correct following what he had stated: “the inner one is being eaten, the outer one is being burned.304Tosephta 3:4, Megillat Taˋanit 6. The Babli, loc. cit. 299 suggests that the first makes sacrifices possible; therefore, it has to be burned outside the Temple. The second one then is a legitimate thanksgiving sacrifice, most of which has to be eaten by the priests as public well-being sacrifice (Mishnah Zevahim 5:5).” For him who said, one opposite the other, what is the inner one? The one closer to the Temple. Rebbi Yasa in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: It was eaten on the instruction of a prophet305Who defined the meaning of “inner” and “outer”?. Rebbi Zeˋira said, they state there: Since a prophet is there, for what do I need Urim and Tummim306The nature of the Urim and Tummim oracle already was no longer known when the Second Temple was built; Nehemiah (7:65) uses the expression “the coming of a Cohen with Urim and Tummim” assynonym with “the coming of the Messiah.” The requirement of Urim and Tummim disqualifies all parts of Jerusalem not forming part of Solomon’s city.? It was found stated: Rebbi Jehudah says, Urim and Tummim are needed307In the Babli, Ševuot 16a, it is a dispute among Babylonian Amoraïm whether Nehemiah’s ceremony, without king and oracle, was a valid dedication of the rebuilt city of Jerusalem or whether it was a token ceremony to re-establish the intrinsic sanctity of Jerusalem created by Solomon’s Temple. The quote here, from an otherwise unknown baraita, qualifies the second opinion as minority opinion of a Tanna..
