Jerusalem Talmud Sotah
HALAKHAH: It was stated: It was written on the stones of the dwelling place, the words of Rebbi Jehudah145In the interpretation of Rashi, Babli 35b, they took the stones, built with them the altar on Mount Ebal, disassembled the altar, took the stones to Gilgal, inscribed the Torah with 70 translations on the stones and covered everything with whitewash. The text of the Babli is paralleled in the Tosephta, 8:6.
Both in the Babli and in the Tosephta this opinion is that of the anonymous majority.; Rebbi Yose says, it was written on the stones of the altar146In Babli and Tosephta, this is ascribed to R. Jehudah... He who says, it was written on the stones of the dwelling place, every day the peoples of the world were sending their stenographers147Latin notarius, “stenographer”. and they carried away the Torah which had been written in seventy languages148They lifted the whitewash from the stone and had the letters stand out, and transported everything back to its place. In the opinion of R. Simeon, the translations were written on the whitewash where they could be copied.
In talmudic theory, Adam was created literate since he had a book (Gen. 5:1). If at any time in human history, peoples were found who were illiterate, they must have been degenerate [Sanhedrin 38b, Avodah zarah 5a; Gen. rabba 24(7)]. Adam was also created an inventor and engineer (cf. the author’s The Scholar’s Haggadah, pp. 219–221; A Jewish Fundamentalist Philosophy of Science and Development, Association F. Gonseth, Bulletin 63, 1992, pp. 9–20.). He who says, it was written on the stones of the altar, were they not only for a short time and then were hidden? That was another wonder, that the Holy One, praise to Him, gave insight to every people and they carried away the Torah which had been written in seventy languages. For him who says, it was written on the stones of the dwelling place, it is understandable that “you shall whitewash them with lime.” But he who says, it was written on the stones of the altar, how does he uphold “ “you shall whitewash them with lime”? Between the stones149This is not mentioned in Babli-Tosephta.. Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥmani in the name of Rebbi Jonathan: “The peoples will be lime incinerators150Is. 33:12. In Babli and Tosephta, this is attributed to R. Simeon.”, from the lime they took their death sentence151Greek ἀπόφασις “judgment, sentence”.. Rebbi Abba bar Cahana in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: “But the Gentiles will be totally destroyed152Is. 60:12. This sermon is not mentioned in the parallel sources. It is based on the identification of חרב I, Akkadic ẖarābu “to dry up” and חרב II, Arabic خرب “to destroy”. The basis of this sermon and entire paragraph is the theory, based on Deut. 33:2, that before the epiphany on Horeb/Mount Sinai, God had offered the Torah to all the other peoples of the earth, who refused, and only Israel accepted. Therefore, only Israel reaps the rewards in the Future World (cf. Sifry Deut. 343, ed. L. Finkelstein; all the other sources are given there in Note 14.),” from Ḥoreb they took their death sentence.
