Mga Sanggunian sa Talmud para sa Mga Bilang 8:24: Jerusalem Talmud Sotah & Jerusalem Talmud Sukkah

HALAKHAH: It was stated: Rebbi says, it is impossible to say that Levi is up⁸⁶Deut 27:11–14 seems to be self-contradictory. In v. 12, it is stated that the tribes of Simeon, Levi, Jehudah, etc. have to stand on Mount Gerizim but in v. 14 the Levites are in the middle to recite the curses. because it already was said that Levi is down. It is impossible to say that Levi is down because it already was said that Levi is up. From this you say, the Elders of the Levites and the priests are down and the rest of the tribe are up⁸⁷In the Tosephta, 8:8, and the Babli, 37a, Rebbi is reported to say that all tribes were standing at the foot of the respective mountains (cf. Jos. 8:33) The opinion given here is there ascribed to R. Eliezer ben Jacob.. Rebbi Simeon says, it is impossible to say that Levi is up because it already was said that Levi is down and it is impossible to say that Levi is down because it already was said that Levi is up. From this you say, anyone able to serve⁸⁸In the Tabernacle, between the ages of 25 and 50 (Num. 8:24–25). In Tosephta and Babli, this opinion is ascribed to R. Joshia. is down and the rest of the tribe is up. Rebbi Simeon says, “Simeon and Levi”, since all of Simeon are up, also all of Levi are up. How do I confirm “in face of the Cohanim, the Levites”? ⁸⁹Ma‘aśer Šeni 5:5, Note 90; Babli Yebamot 86b, Ḥulin 24b. As Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said, in 24 places are Cohanim called Levites and this is one of them⁹⁰Ez. 44:15.: “The Cohanim Levites, the descendants of Ṣadoq.”

HALAKHAH: If he knows how to move¹⁰⁰In the synagogue the main service involving the lulav is the recitation of Hallel, Pss. 113–118, where the lulav is moved at the recitation or repetition of designated verses. he is obligated for lulav. If he knows how to dress, he is obligated for ṣiṣit¹⁷⁶To have the tassels at the four corners of his toga. Babli 42a, Arakhin2b; Tosephta Ḥagigah1:2.. If he knows how to talk, his father teaches him the language of the Torah¹⁷⁷Biblical Hebrew.. If he knows how to keep his hands clean, one eats heave on his hands¹⁷⁸If he washes his hands and then touched heave, the latter is not impaired by his touch and may be eaten by pure Cohanim.. If he knows how to keep his body clean, one eats food in purity on his body¹⁷⁹If he knows what brings impurity and states that he is pure, the touch of his body does not contaminate food prepared in purity.. But he does not go before the Ark¹⁸⁰As an appointed reader to lead the congregation in prayer., nor lift his hands¹⁷¹A Cohen to pronounce the Priestly Blessing., nor stands on the podium¹⁸¹A Levite singing in the Temple., before he grows a beard. Rebbi says, all of them at the age of twenty years¹⁸²Irrespective of whether he grew a beard or not., as it is said¹⁸³Ezra3:8. The age limit was established for the second Temple, therefore it is valid for the future. The pentateuchal age limit for Levites was 25 years; Num. 8:24.: They appointed the Levites, twenty years or older, to direct the work of the Eternal’s House.
