At inilagay niya ang isa sa Bethel, at ang isa naman ay inilagay niya sa Dan.
Jerusalem Talmud Avodah Zarah
How does Rebbi Yose uphold this verse, bring your sacrifices in the morning, etc6Since for him the Mishnah has no biblical basis; the cessation of commerce with idolators either is rabbinic or an old popular custom. The entire sermon is reproduced in Yalqut Šim`oni Prophets§542.? The verse speaks about Jeroboam’s kingdom. When Jeroboam became king over Israel he started seducing Israel and said to them come, let us worship pagan worship. Pagan worship is lenient. This is what is written, let us go against Jehudah, cut it down, break it up, and appoint a king in it, the man from Ṭabeal7Is. 7:6. The tradition that Ṭabeal is a place rather than a personal name was accepted by the Medieval commentators of Prophets. According to Rashi the name is coded; one has to replace letter nby n+/-11; then טבאל becomes רַמְלֵא, a city founded after the Arab conquest.. Rebbi Abba said, we checked all of Scripture but did not find a place named Ṭabeal. But it treats its worshippers well. The Torah said, selected him from all of the tribes of Israel to be a priest for Me81S. 2:28.. Pagan worship says, he made priests from the fringes of the people91K. 12:31; quoted in the Babli, Qiddušin75b, in the name of R. Joḥanan.. Rebbi La said, from the thorns of the people, the rubbish of the people. The Torah said, the fat of My sacrifice shall not remain until the morning10Ex. 23:28.; but pagan worship said, bring your sacrifices in the morning3Am. 4:4, speaking of the sinful service of the Golden Calf of Beth El.. The Torah said, it should be eaten on the day of its slaughter and the next day11Lev. 19:6.; but pagan worship said, on the third day your tithes3Am. 4:4, speaking of the sinful service of the Golden Calf of Beth El.. The Torah said, do not sacrifice the blood of My sacrifice on leavened matter10Ex. 23:28.; but pagan worship said, and burn your thanksgiving offer of leavened matter3Am. 4:4, speaking of the sinful service of the Golden Calf of Beth El.. The Torah said, if you are vowing a vow to the Eternal, your God, do not tarry to fulfill it12Deut. 23:22., but pagan worship said, pledge gifts, publicize them3,Am. 4:4, speaking of the sinful service of the Golden Calf of Beth El.13But it is not necessary to fulfill one’s pledge. The reason of the Northern Kingdom’s apostasy is traced to the cost and onerous rules of Torah practice.. Rebbi Yudan, Rebbi Mattaniah’s father, said, the verse only serves to mention the shame of Israel. The day of our king, the princes are sick from wine’s heat, he draws the mockers by his hand14Hos. 4:5.. On the day when Jeroboam became king over Israel, all of Israel came to him late in the evening and told him, come and worship pagan worship. He told them, it is late in the evening; I am drunk and not drunk15He claimed that his mental faculties were slightly impaired.. Everybody is drinking; but if you wish, go and come in the morning. That is what is written, for their heart is like an oven while they are lying in ambush; all night long their baker is sleeping.16Hos. 4:6. All night long their baker did not sleep. In the morning he is burning like fire of a conflagration16Hos. 4:6.. In the morning they came to him. He told them, I do understand what you want but I am afraid of your Synhedrion lest they kill me. They told him, we shall kill them; this is what is written, that all are glowing like an oven and eat their judges17Hos.4:7. All of Talmudic literature assumes that the legal system imagined for late Hasmonean rule was that of the Davidic kingdom.. Rebbi Levi said, they killed them, as is written, if a corpse is found18Deut. 21:1. This sermon derives הֶחֱלוּ in Hos. 4:5 not from חלה “to be sick” but from חלל “to be perforated”.. Rebbi La said, they deposed them; The day of our king, the princes are profaned from wine’s heat14,Hos. 4:5.19Deriving הֶחֱלוּ in Hos. 4:5 from חול “to be profane”.; the day when princes were profaned. From wine’s heat, they were addicted to wine. He draws the mockers by his hand: When he saw a serious person he placed two scoffers next to him who asked him, which generation was preferred over all generations? He told them, the generation of the Exodus. But did they not practice pagan worship? He answered them, because they were beloved they were not punished. But they told him, be quiet for the king wants to do the same. Not only that, but they made one and this one made two. He put the one up at Bethel; the other he gave to Dan201K. 12:29..
Jerusalem Talmud Yevamot
It is written: “Abijah and his people inflicted a very great slaughter on them482Chr. 13:13. The biblical text reads: וַיַכּוּ בָהֶם אֲבִיָּה וְעַמּוֹ מַכָּה רַבָּה..” Rebbi Abba bar Cahana said, he destroyed the face recognition of the men of Israel. That is what is written, “the recognition of their faces testified about them,” etc. That refers to the nose. Rebbi Immi said, he put up guards for three days until appearance was disfigured. That is what is written: “Your widows are more for me than the sand of the oceans49Since the slain warriors could no longer be identified, their widows could never remarry according to rabbinic rules..” It was stated in this respect: One testifies only on the appearance of the face with the nose. It is written: “Jeroboam was powerless for the rest of Aijah’s days; the Eternal smote him and he died.502Chr. 13:20.” Rebbi Samuel51In Gen. rabba 65:16, 73:4, R. Samuel bar Naḥman. He and the authors quoted earlier attribute Abijah’s early death to his mutilation of the bodies of the slain. said, you think that this refers to Jeroboam, but it is Abijah52Abijah was king for only 3 years and must have died shortly after the battle; Jeroboam died two years after Abijah (1K. 15:25).. Why was he smitten? Rebbi Joḥanan said, because he insulted Jeroboam in public53In the Babli, Sanhedrin 101b, R. Joḥanan is reported to have said that Jeroboam was punished for insulting Solomon in public.. That is what is written: “You are a great multitude and with you are the golden calves that Jeroboam made for you as gods.” Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, because he denigrated his teacher Aḥijah from Shiloh. That is what is written: “And men, rascals, joined him,542Chr. 13:7. The text there reads וַיִּקָֽבְצוּ עָלָיו אֲנָשִׁים רֵקִים בְּנֵי בְלִיַּעַל “and loiterers, rascals, joined him.”” that he called Aḥijah from Shiloh a rascal. But the rabbis say, because an idol fell into his hand and he did not destroy it, that is what is written: “Abijah pursued Jeroboam and took from him cities, Beth El and its dependencies …552Chr. 13:19.” and it is written: “He set up one in Beth El and one he dedicated in Dan.561K. 12:20.”
