Comentários de Citação sobre Jó 12:11

Some say we do not refute a lion after its death (Gittin 83b:6). The response: The spirit of God made us, all of us, and from clay were made those before us, like us, and the ear tests arguments (Job 12:11). And we all know that Daniel was a prophet, and a master over all the magicians and scholars of Babylon, but behold, the sages of blessed memory say Daniel erred in his calculations (Megillah 12a:2); and calculation is a simple matter. What's more, Jeremiah the prophet was in the time of Daniel! And after our sages provided proof of his error, did anyone say to him that if Daniel were alive he would say those who said he erred erred? And others said, the Merciful One desires the heart. If so, why do we need to say anything? Doesn't he know the feelings of the heart? And didn't the earlier ones ordain to say on Yom Kippur: "Be with the mouths of the emissaries of your people the house of Israel, that they not slip with their tongues?"

her palate Heb. חכה, an expression of חךּ, a palate.

ומלאה הארץ זמה, da dies nicht die Folge, sondern die Ursache des vorangehenden ולא תונה הארץ ist, so müsste das ו־ von ומלאה die Gleichzeitigkeit, das zugleich Eintreffen beider Momente ausdrücken. Ähnlich wie: הלא אזן מלין תבהן וחך אוכל יטעם לו (Job 12. 11), das Ohr prüft Worte, wie der Gaumen Speisen schmeckt. כי אדם לעמל יולד ובני דשף יגביהו עוף (daselbst 4, 7), daß der Mensch zu Unglück geboren würde, wie der Kohle Funken aufwärts fliegen. —
