Provérbios 8:35 Referências do Talmudee: Jerusalem Talmud Berakhot, Taanit & Berakhot

Rav Ḥisda said: He who enters the synagogue must enter inside two doors. What is the reason (Prov. 8:34) “Hail to the man who listens to Me, always to be diligent at My doors³⁷The verse is spoken by Wisdom (or the Torah) but is interpreted as God’s word..” My doors and not my door. Doorposts and not doorpost³⁸This refers to the end of the verse which is omitted here: “To guard the doorposts of my entrances always.”. If he did that, what is written there? (Prov. 8:35) “Because he who found Me found life.³⁹In the Babli (8b), the statement of Rav Ḥisda appears without justification, but it follows a statement of R. Joshua ben Levi that he who frequents the synagogue will live long and which is supported by the two verses quoted here. Hence, the Babli is dependent on the Yerushalmi in this case.”

It was taught in a bareita: Rabbi Benaah says, "Whoever is involved in Torah [study] for its own sake, it becomes a potion of life for him, as it says (Proverbs 3:18): 'It is a tree of life for them that hold on to it.' And it says (Proverbs 3:8), 'It shall be health to thy navel.' And it says (Proverbs 8:35), 'For those who find me, find life.' And whoever is involved in Torah [study] not for its own sake, it becomes a potion of death for him, as it says, 'My teaching shall fall like rain,' and falling only means killing, as it says, 'and they shall break [drop] the heifer’s neck there in the valley.'"

This is like what R. Joshua b. Levi said to his sons : Rise early and stay up late to enter the Synagogue, so that you may prolong your life. R. Aha b. R. Hannina asked, What is the Scriptural authority for this ? "Happy is the man that hearkeneth to Me, watching daily at My gates, waiting at the posts of My doors" (Prov. viii. 34), after which it is written, "For whoso findeth me findeth life" (ibid. v. 35).
