Mga Sanggunian sa Talmud para sa Mikas 7:6: Jerusalem Talmud Sotah

MISHNAH: ²⁶⁷The Mishnah in the Babli is quite different in this first paragraph; it is close to the baraita/Tosephta quoted in the Halakhah as alternative version. The mention of Rebbi and R. Phineas ben Yaïr characterizes the entire Mishnah as a late addition. When Rabban Joḥanan ben Zakkai died, the splendor of wisdom disappeared. When the elder Rabban Gamliel²⁶⁸Hillel’s grandson, whom the Apostle Paul claimed as his teacher. died, the honor of Torah disappeared, purity and self-discipline died. When Ismael ben Phiabi²⁶⁹The last High Priest of good character. died, the splendor of priesthood died. When Rebbi died, meekness and fear of sin died. When Rebbi Meїr died, the inventors of parables disappeared. When Rebbi Aqiba died, the preachers²⁷⁰It may be that “interpreters of biblical verses” is meant. R. Aqiba is the last authority who systematically derived laws directly from an interpretation of verses. disappeared. When Ben Azai died, the perseverers²⁷¹Who study day and night. disappeared. When Ben Zoma died, the students²⁷²It is difficult to know what this means. In the Babli, “the preachers disappeared”. Ben Zoma is known for his gnostic studies. disappeared. When Rebbi Joshua died, good disappeared from the world²⁷³Had he lived, he probably could have averted the uprising of Bar Kochba. When Rebbi Eleazar ben Azariah died, wealth disappeared from the Sages. When Rabban Gamliel died²⁷⁴In many independent Mishnah mss. (and the following Tosephta) “Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel”; missing in the Babli. The Yerushalmi reading is preferable since Rabban Gamliel died just before the Bar Kochba revolt but his son died at the beginning of the Severan dynasty which was a good time for the Jewish population of Palestine., locusts came and troubles increased. When Rebbi Ḥanina ben Dosa and Yose the small²⁷⁵קיטונתה is usually derived from Greek κοιτών “bedroom”, Syriac קיטונא “room”. In Babli and independent Mishnah he is called קטונתא “the little one”, because, according to some mss., he was the most insignificant of the pious. It is more than likely that the Yerushalmi קיטונתה is identical with קטונתא except for the addition of a stray י. This is accepted in the translation. Other Babli mss. and early medieval authors also call him “the concentrate of piety”. died, piety disappeared. Why was he called Yose of the small room? For he was the concentrate of pious men. Rebbi Phineas ben Yaїr says, after the Temple was destroyed, fellows and freeborn were ashamed and covered their heads, people of [good] deeds shrivelled, strong-armed people and informers became dominant, nobody explains, nobody desires and nobody asks. On whom can we rely? On our Father in Heaven. The great Rebbi Eliezer²⁷⁶R. Eliezer ben Hyrkanos. says, from the day the Temple was destroyed, the Sages were diminished to be like scribes, the scribes like community servants, the community servants like common people; the common people go and degenerate, nobody desires and nobody asks. On whom can we rely? On our Father in Heaven.
On the heels of the Messiah impertinence will grow, inflation will lead, the vine will give its fruit but the wine will be expensive, the government will turn heretic²⁷⁷This Mishnah expected the Messiah to appear when the Roman state turned Christian., nobody rebukes, the assembly hall will be a brothel, Galilee will be destroyed and Gaulanitis²⁷⁸Which was densely settled by Jews in talmudic times, cf. Ševi‘it 6:1, Notes 31–51. become deserted, frontier dwellers will move from city to city and nobody will have mercy on them, the wisdom of scholars will be defective, those who fear sin will be despised, truth will be absent, young men will insult Elders, Elders will stand before the young, “a son will abuse his father, a daughter rebel against her mother and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, the enemies of a person are his family”²⁷⁹Micah 7:6., the generation is dog-faced, a son is not ashamed before his father. What do we have to rely on? Our Father in Heaven.
