Se desviares do sábado o teu pé, e deixares de prosseguir nas tuas empresas no meu santo dia; se ao sábado chamares deleitoso, ao santo dia do SENHOR, digno de honra; se o honrares, não seguindo os teus caminhos, nem te ocupando nas tuas empresas, nem falando palavras vãs;
Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin
Rebbi Abbahu said, Rebbi Joḥanan and Rebbi Simeon ben Laqush disagreeed. One said, one builds and afterwards one dedicates308One builds as if the buildings were profane. Only when the Temple enclosure is complete does one dedicate the Temple area, and when the walls of Jerusalem are rebuilt does one dedicate the city. During the building period one is not restricted by all the rules applying to the Temple area. This is possible since the dedication by Solomon was annulled by the destruction of the Temple. One has to assume that it is possible to dedicate the area of the altar and its enclosure without dedicating the Temple, as done in the time of the first return from Babylonia under Cyrus, Ezra 3:3,6.. The other one said, one dedicates and afterwards one builds309He holds that the dedication by Solomon is permanent. Therefore, anybuilding must be done under restrictive rules (but it can be built in stages, cf. Mishnah Idiut 8:6). If the outline of the Temple enclosure or the original city walls was still visible in Zerubabel’s time, no rebuilding was necessary in order to restore the service of the altar.. For him who says, one builds and afterwards one dedicates, one does not say that the partitions are as if built up310They actually have to be restored before Temple service can be resumed whole or in part.. If one desires to add to the Temple Hall, by which means does one add311In imitation of the rules given for dedication of the city of Jerusalem under Nehemiah, any dedication must involve a sacrifice. The Babli, loc. cit. 299, insists that the sacrifice be used in the place to be dedicated. This leads to a catch-22 situation since a sacrifice can be dedicated only after the dedication of the holy place. There is no reason to assume that the Yerushalmi accepts this reasoning.? By the two loaves312The two loaves of leavened bread dedicated on Pentecost to permit use of new wheat, Lev. 23:17. This is in imitation of the leavened bread used for the dedication of the city, cf. 295. A parallel discussion is in the Babli, Ševuot 15a/b.. Does one dedicate on a holiday313Since the dedication has far-reaching legal consequences, it has the status of an acquisition, which is not acceptable on Sabbath or holiday, Is. 58:13. In addition, the Babli points out that the dedication of the leavened breads is the slaughter of the accompanying well-being sacrifice; then the dedication would not be by bread.? Then by the Shew Bread. Does one dedicate on the Sabbath314The Shew Bread is removed from the sanctuary on the Sabbath, Lev. 24:8. It becomes available for secondary use on the Sabbath, when it cannot be so used.? Then in the night315The following evening, after the end of the Sabbath.. Does one dedicate in the night316Ex. 30:2 prescribes that the Tabernacle be erected during daytime. This rule then is extended to include all building activity of the Temple.? Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, with a baked flour offering317The daily flour offering of the High Priest, Lev. 6:12–16.. One understands that on their return from the diaspora they sacrificed and then dedicated. When they entered the Land,318When they entered the Land, they had the Tabernacle which was dedicated in the desert. What one asks here is, how was Solomon’s Temple dedicated? with what did they dedicate? Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, with two thanksgiving sacrifices coming from Nob319The priests’ settlement at Nob already was destroyed at the time when the priests from Nob resided at Anatot. The active place of worship was Gibeon, but “Nob and Gibeon” is used as a legal term to indicate the status of holy places after the destruction of Shiloh, before the building of the Temple; cf. Mishnah Zevahim 14:7. and Gibeon.
Shabbat
R. Johanan said in the name of R. Jose: One who makes the Sabbath pleasant will be rewarded with a boundless inheritance, as it is written [in Isaiah lviii. 14]: "Then shalt thou find delight in the Lord; and I will cause thee to tread upon the high places of the earth, and I will cause thee to enjoy the inheritance of Jacob thy father; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." Not the inheritance of Abraham, concerning whom it is written [Genesis xiii. 17]: "Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it," etc., and not as in the case of Isaac, as it is written [ibid. xxvi. 4]: "And I will give unto thy seed all these countries," but as it is written of Jacob [ibid. xxviii. 14]: "And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west and to the east, and to the north and to the south." R. Na'hman bar Itz'hak said: (The man who makes the Sabbath pleasant) will also be saved the pain of exile, because it is written [Isaiah lviii. 14]: "And I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth," and [Deut. xxxiii. 29]: "And thou shalt tread upon their high places." Said R. Jehudah in the name of Rabh, "He who makes the Sabbath pleasant is given everything his heart desires," because it is written [Psalms xxxvii. 4]: "And delight thyself in the Lord, and he will give thee the wishes of thy heart." What is meant by "delight"? From the passage [Isaiah lviii. 13]: "If thou call the Sabbath a delight," we can adduce that the delight means Sabbath. Wherewith should the Sabbath be made pleasant? Said R. Jehudah, the son of R. Samuel bar Shilath, in the name of Rabh: "With a mess of beets, large fish, and garlic-heads." But R. Hyya bar Ashi said in the name of Rabh: "Even with any dish whatever prepared especially for the Sabbath." What does "any dish whatever" mean? Said R. Papa: "Even small fish fried in oil."
Shabbat
Mishna: One may not hire workers on the Sabbath, nor ask his fellow to hire workers for him. One may not wait at the "techum" border for nightfall [at the end of the Sabbath] so that he can hire workers for himself, nor to gather fruits [as soon as the Sabbath ends]. But one may wait till sunset in order to guard [his field], and [then] to bring in fruits with his hands. Abbah Shaul said a rule: ... Whatever I can say [for others to do], I can wait til sunset to do.
