Talmud do Liczb 6:24

From where the lifting of hands? So you shall bless the Children of Israel²²Num. 6:22.. So far during the morning prayers²³Since in the Temple the priestly blessing was recited at the time of the morning sacrifice, the inspiration for the morning prayer service.. At musaf? Aaron lifted his hands for the people²⁴Lev. 9:22, description of the special inauguration service of the Tabernacle.. Is not this verse distorted? Should it not read: he descended from making the purification sacrifice, and the elevation sacrifice, and the well-being sacrifice, and after this, Aaron lifted his hands for the people? But it teaches²⁵The verse mentioning blessing before descent. that while descending from the altar he lifted his hands and blessed the people. ²⁶Babli Sotah38a.And he blessed them, standing. I could think, not while standing. The verse says²⁷Deut. 21:5., the Eternal, your God, selected them to serve Him and to bless in His Name. It combines blessing with service. Since service is done standing, also blessing is done standing. And so it says²⁸2Chr. 30:27., the Levitic Cohanim rose and blessed the people. The verse speaks of the generation of Ezechias, when they toiled in the Torah. But in other generations, when they were serving foreign worship, what does it say? When you spread your hands my eyes shall disregard you²⁹Is. 1:15.. ²²Num. 6:22.And he blessed them, any blessing. But we did not hear which it was until the verse came and explained it³⁰Num. 6:24–26.: The Eternal shall bless you and guard you. The Eternal shall enlighten His presence to you and show you favor. The Eternal shall turn His presence to you and give you peace.

Where [does the translator] begin? At Oh this people have sinned.⁵⁷ibid. 31-35. This disagrees with Meg. quoted above. The blessing of the priests⁵⁸Num. 6, 24-27 which includes the phrase lift up … countenance which in the Heb. could be misunderstood in its lit. meaning of ‘favouritism’. and the stories of David⁵⁹2 Sam. 11, 2-17 which is discreditable to David. and Amnon⁶⁰ibid. XIII, 1-14 which records Amnon’s disgrace. are neither read nor translated.⁶¹So V and H in agreement with Meg. loc. cit.; but GRA and others omit the negative before ‘read’

MISHNAH: The priestly blessing¹⁸⁵Num. 6:24–27., the stories of David¹⁸⁶The story of David and Batsheva, 2S. 11. and Amnon¹⁸⁷The rape of Tamar, 2S. 13:1–22. are neither read nor translated. One does not close with the Chariot¹⁸⁸Ez. Chapter 1, the traditional reading from Prophets on Pentecost., but Rebbi Jehudah permits. And Rebbi Eliezer says, one does not close with tell Jerusalem its abominations¹⁸⁹Ez. Chap. 16..
