Wyjścia 32:11 Odniesienia do Talmudu: Jerusalem Talmud Taanit & Berakhot

It is written⁶⁸Num. 23:19. In this verse Balaam seems to proclaim an extreme doctrine of predestination which negates the possibility of effective repentance, against the homiletics described in the Halakhah. Tanḥuma Mas`e6., God is no human that He would lie. Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman and the rabbis. Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman said, if the Holy One, praise to Him, says to give a benefit, God is no human that He would lie. If he said to make a detriment, He would say but not do it, and speak but not keep it. But the rabbis are saying, there is no man who could make God’s words as if nonexistent. Why should Your anger burn against Your people⁶⁹Ex. 32:11. Num. rabba23(8).? Or a human and He be sorrow. Not the son of Amram who made God to have second thoughts: the Eternal had second thoughts about the evil He had said to bring over His people⁷⁰Ex. 32:14..

He who says : Until his mind can offer supplication [tithonen], it is because it is said, "And I supplicated [waethannan] the Lord" (Deut. iii. 23) ; and he who says : Until his mind can offer beseeching prayer [titholel], it is because it is written, "And Moses besought [wayyehal] the Lord" (Exod. xxxii. 11).

"And Moses besought [wayyehal] the Lord his God" (ibid. v. 11). R. Eleazar said : This teaches that Moses stood in prayer before the Holy One, blessed be He, until he wore Him out [hehelehu]. Raba said : [Moses besought Him] until He annulled His vow for him ; for it is written here wayyehal "and he besought," and elsewhere it is written, "he shall not break [yahel] his word" (Num. 30:3) ; and a teacher has said : [He who makes a vow] cannot break it himself, but others can break it on his behalf.
