Rebbi Joḥanan objected: “I shall bring you to your forefathers’ land, etc.69A misquote of Ex. 6:8. The verse ends: “I shall give it to you as an inheritance, I, the Eternal.” Giving implies a voluntary act, a gift, whereas inheritance is automatic by law.” If it was a gift, why an inheritance? And if an inheritance, why a gift? But after he gave it to them as a gift, he turned around and gave it as inheritance70,The rights of the people of the Exodus were established as gift; then those of the generation of the conquest already were an inheritance (Babli 117b).71E here has a parallel version:
רִבִּי יִצְחָק בַּר מַרְיוֹן בְּשֵׁם רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן. כָּתוּב וְטַפְּכֶם אֲשֶׁר אֲמַרְתֶּם לָבַז יִהְיֶה וּבְנֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר לֹא יָֽדְעוּ הַיּוֹם טוֹב וָרַע הֵמָּה יָבֹאוּ שָׁמָּה וְלָהֶם אֶתְּנֶנֶּהּ וְהֵם יְרָשׁוּהָ. אִם מַתָּנָה לָמָּה יְרוּשָׁה. וְאִם יְרוּשָׁה לָמָּה מַתָּנָה. אֶלָּא מֵאַחַר שֶׁנְּתָנָהּ לָהֶן בִּלְשׁוֹן מַתָּנָה חָזַר וּנְתָנָהּ לָהֶן בִּלְשׁוֹן יְרוּשָׁה.
Rebbi Isaac bar Marion in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: It is written (Deut. 1:39): “Your little ones, of whom you said, they will be taken as prey, and your children who today do not know good or bad, they will come there, to them I shall give it, and they will inherit it.” If it was a gift, why an inheritance? And if an inheritance, why a gift? But after he gave it to them in the language of a gift, he turned around and gave it in the language of inheritance.”. Rebbi Hoshaia said, anywhere one mentions מוֹרָשָה it means weariness72It is unclear from which root he derives the word since the only candidate besides yrš “to inherit” would be rwš “to be poor.”. They objected, is it not written, “an inheritance (מוֹרָשָׁה) of the congregation of Jacob73Deut. 33:4: “Moses commended to us Torah, an inheritance …” This verse should not have a negative connotation.”? He said, there is no weariness greater than this. He who studies forgets everything74This is explained in Eccl. rabba on 1:13: “For his own benefit a person studies Torah and forgets it, for if a person could study Torah and not forget it, he would study it for two or three years and then never think of it again” and miss all rewards for the study of Torah..
