לֹ֣א אִ֥ישׁ אֵל֙ וִֽיכַזֵּ֔ב וּבֶן־אָדָ֖ם וְיִתְנֶחָ֑ם הַה֤וּא אָמַר֙ וְלֹ֣א יַעֲשֶׂ֔ה וְדִבֶּ֖ר וְלֹ֥א יְקִימֶֽנָּה׃
Бог не человек, что Он должен лгать; Ни сын человеческий, чтобы Он покаялся. Когда Он сказал, не сделает ли Он этого? Или, когда Он сказал, не сделает ли это хорошо?
Jerusalem Talmud Taanit
It is written68Num. 23:19. In this verse Balaam seems to proclaim an extreme doctrine of predestination which negates the possibility of effective repentance, against the homiletics described in the Halakhah. Tanḥuma Mas`e6., God is no human that He would lie. Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman and the rabbis. Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman said, if the Holy One, praise to Him, says to give a benefit, God is no human that He would lie. If he said to make a detriment, He would say but not do it, and speak but not keep it. But the rabbis are saying, there is no man who could make God’s words as if nonexistent. Why should Your anger burn against Your people69Ex. 32:11. Num. rabba23(8).? Or a human and He be sorrow. Not the son of Amram who made God to have second thoughts: the Eternal had second thoughts about the evil He had said to bring over His people70Ex. 32:14..
Jerusalem Talmud Taanit
Rebbi Abbahu said, if a man says to you, I am a god, he lies. I am the Son of Man71The expression, in imitation of Accadic awelum, “free man”, by which Ezechiel was addressed by God as true prophet., at the end he will regret it. That I ascend to heaven, “this he says but cannot fulfill.72An imitation of Num. 23:19.”
Jerusalem Talmud Taanit
Rebbi Aḥa in the name of Rav: Today there is no fast-day18Since the Patriarch resided in Sepphoris but the Academy was in Tiberias. The implication seems to be that other details of the Mishnah also do not have to be executed exactly as described.. Rebbi Yose said, does this mean that the fast-days which we are arranging are not those? He said to him, so says Rav: The verse says about any fast-day which does not follow its rules, she was noisy around me, therefore I hated her72An imitation of Num. 23:19..
