Deuteronômio 28:68 Referências do Talmudee: Jerusalem Talmud Sukkah & Megillah

Rebbi Simeon ben Yoḥai said, at three places were Israel warned not to return to the land of Egypt, [as it is written:] for as you saw Egypt today you shall nevermore see them for ever³¹Ex. 14:13.. And the Eternal said to you, you shall never again return on this way³²Deut. 17:16.. And the Eternal will bring you back to Egypt on ships³³Deut. 28:68.. In all three cases they returned and in all three cases they fell. One in the days of Sanherib the king of Assyria, [as it is written]: woe on those who descend to Egypt for help³⁴Is. 31:1.. What is written after this? But Egypt is human and not god, and their horses are flesh, etc³⁴Is. 31:3.. And one in the days of Joḥanan the son of the bald; it shall be that the sword which you are fearing, there will reach you³⁵Jer. 42:16.. And once in the days of the evil Trajanus.

³⁶In slightly different versions this is in Thr. rabba 1(48), 4(23). This is the only Talmudic reference to the great Jewish revolt in Egypt, Cyrenaica, and Cyprus which erupted when Trajanus attacked and temporarily occupied Mesopotamia, the home of the main body of Jews outside the Roman empire. A son was born to him on the Ninth of Ave and they did fast. His daughter died on Ḥanukkah and they lit lights. His wife sent and told him, instead that you conquer the barbarians come and conquer the Jews who revolted against you. He intended to come in ten days and came and found them occupied [in the Torah with the verse:] He will carry against you a people from far away, from the ends of the earth³⁷Deut. 28:49., etc. He asked them, with what were you occupied. They answered him, with such-and-such. He said to them, this man is he since he intended to come in ten days but came in five. He surrounded them by legions and killed them. He said to their wives, if you listen to my legions I shall not kill you. They told him, what you did to those on the ground floor do to those on the gallery³⁸Since the action of Trajanus earlier was characterized as directed against the great synagogue in Alexandria, “those on the ground floor” are the men sitting in the synagogue, whereas the women are “those on the gallery”, probably the roof of the double stoa.. He mixed their blood with their blood and the blood flowed in the sea up to Cyprus. At that moment the horn of Israel was trimmed and will not be restituted until the Son of David will come.

“And it came to pass [vayehi] in the days of Ahashverosh: Rav said, [The word vayehi means] There was “voi” [trouble]. This is what is written, “And there you shall sell yourselves to your enemies for slaves and for bondwomen, and no man shall buy you” (Deuteronomy 28:68).
