Mga Sanggunian sa Talmud para sa Habakuk 2:11: Jerusalem Talmud Bava Batra & Chagigah

MISHNAH: Condominium owners¹They own separate houses built facing one courtyard; they want to build a wall so that each house opens to its own courtyard. who want to make a separation in the courtyard build the wall in the middle. At a place where commonly one builds with unhewn stones, or hewn stones, or half-bricks²This is the definition of the Babli (3a). In Hab. 2:11 the word means “wood splinter”., or bricks, everything follows local custom³If one of the parties wants to build following local custom, he can force the other party to agree with him.. For unhewn stones, each partner gives three handbreadths. For hewn stones, each gives two and one half handbreadths. For half-bricks, each gives two handbreadths. For bricks, each gives one and a half handbreadths⁴A wall made of half-bricks is wider than one made of whole bricks since the mortar between the pieces takes up an additional half handbreadth.. Therefore, if the wall collapsed⁵If a wall collapsed and it is no longer known who built it, one has to assume that it was built following these rules. the place and the stones belong to both of them.

And there is no [term] 'familiar friend' except for the Holy One, Blessed be He, as it is said, "You are the friend of my youth (Jeremiah 3:4).' Maybe you will say, 'Who will testify against me?' The stones and beams of a man's house, they testify against him, as it is said, 'For a stone from the wall will cry out, and a beam from the wood will answer it (Habakkuk 2:11).'"
