Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin
79Similar texts are in Tanhuma Qorah 2 (Buber 4), Num. rabba 18(2), Midrash Prov. 11(27). Rav said, Koraḥ was an Epicurean. What did he do? He went and made togas completely of blue wool. He came before Moses and asked him, does a toga made completely out of blue wool need ṣiṣit? He answered, it is an obligation since it is written80Deut. 22:12. While from Num. 15:37–41 one might free a blue toga from exhibiting a blue thread, this verse makes it clear that a knotted appendage is needed.: braids you shall make for yourselves. Does a house full of Torah scrolls need a mezuzah? He answered, it needs a mezuzah since it is written81Deut. 6:9, 11:20., you shall write them on the door-posts of your house, etc. He asked him, what is the rule for a white spot the size of a bean82Lev. 13:18–23. By rabbinic interpretation, a white spot indicates skin disease only if it is at least the size of a Cilician bean.? He answered him, it is impure. If it spread over his entire body? He answered him, it is pure83Lev. 13:13.. At that moment, Koraḥ said that the Torah is not from Heaven, nor is Moses a [true]G prophet, nor Aaron a High Priest. 84Cf. Num. rabba 18(15), Midrash Prov. 11(27). Then Moses said, Master of all worlds! If a mouth of the earth had been created during the Six Days of Creation, it is fine. Otherwise it should be created now: If the Eternal would create a Creation85Num. 16:30..
Jerusalem Talmud Maasrot
Rebbi Abin said, only if the roof is at least four [cubits] square. Just as a house does not induce ṭevel unless it is at least four [cubits] square, so the roof does not exempt unless it is at least four [cubits] square, as it is stated114A similar baraita in Babli Sukkah 3a/b.: A house less than four [cubits] square is free from the obligations of mezuzah115Deut. 6:9, 11:20. and the parapet116Deut. 22:8., from the obligation of eruv117If a courtyard belongs to a single owner except that a hut enclosing an area less that four cubits square belongs to another person, that courtyard may be used on the Sabbath by the majority owner without an eruv (cf. Demay 1, Notes 192–193)., does not induce ṭevel, is not counted as a connection to a town118On the Sabbath, one may not go outside one’s town more than 2000 cubits (cf. Peah 8, Note 56). Any house which is within 70 cubits of a house of the town is also counted as part of the town; the count of 2000 cubits starts only at the outermost house. A small building does not count as a house.; he who makes a vow not to be in a house may sit there; one does not give it four cubits before its entrance door119In a courtyard belonging to several owners, the four cubits in front of the entrance of each house are the private domain of this house, to be used to load and unload. This does not apply to a small hut.; it does not remain with the buyer in the Jubilee120Lev. 25:30.; it cannot become impure by scale disease121Lev. 14:34 ff., and its owner does not return from the army because of it122Deut. 20:5..
Jerusalem Talmud Moed Katan
MISHNAH: One does not write debt documents on the holiday, but if he does not trust him or if he has nothing to eat, he shall write111While one does not write commercial or investment documents, if it is necessary to provide one of the parties involved with support for the enjoyment of the holiday one has to write. The rabbinic prohibition of writing may not be an obstacle to fulfilling the biblical obligation to enjoy the holiday.. One does not write Torah scrolls, tefillin112To be worn on head and arm, Ex. 13:9,16. and mezuzzot113To be placed on the doorposts, Deut. 6:9, 11:20. on the holiday; also one does not correct even a single letter in the Temple Courtyard Scroll114In the Babli: “In the Ezra scroll”.. Rebbi Jehudah says, a person may write tefillin and mezuzzot for himself115Since tefillin are required to be worn on the intermediate days of the holiday and mezuzot are an obligation every day., and spin for himself the blue string for his ṣiṣit116The blue thread which distinguishes Jewish garments from other 3rd Millennium BCE Semitic garb; Num. 15:38. This also is an obligation not suspended during the holiday..
