... of a Jehovan retribution and Jewish vengeance. What matter if Daniel and King Belshazzar never existed: by its inclusion in the Levitical scriptures this anecdote gained the status of a legal precedent! "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin" - The murder of the Russian Czar and a massacre of his family When the murder of the Russian Czar, his wife, daughters and son in 1918, again, was related directly to...
... before and after putting the seed in, and so takes a full day. Abba b. Abbu. Lit., 'words of prophesying'. I.e., were not wise men prophets also before the Temple was destroyed? Ps. XC, 12. The word [H] in the text (E.V. 'that we nay get us') is taken here in the sense of 'prophet'. And here the prophet is compared with the wise man. The first having hit upon the same idea quite independently. And this...
... was why they hit on the same idea. Tractate List / Glossary / / Bible Reference Baba Bathra 12b in the name of R. Akiba b. Joseph.1 Said R. Ashi: What is there strange in this? perhaps in this matter he was born under the same star. No, said R. Ashi; the proof is that a great man makes a statement and then it is found that the same rule was a halachah communicated to Moses at Mount Sinai. But...
... consequence. - To Next Folio - Original footnotes renumbered. See Structure of the Talmud Files Who certainly was a much greater man, so that the explanation that they were born under one star will not hold. I.e., he hit on the idea by chance. Hence we must say that his agreement with Moses was due not to chance but to the spirit of prophecy. [This is another way of expressing the belief that revelation did...
... bitten off the hand of the child. Rab thereupon went out and declared in his discourse: 'It is permissible to kill a cat, and it is in fact a sin to keep it,7 and the law of robbery8 does not apply to it, nor that of returning a lost object to its owner.'9 Since you have stated that it is permissible to kill it, why again state that it is a sin to keep it? — You might perhaps...
... think that though it is permissible to kill it, there is still no sin committed in keeping it; we are therefore told [that this is not so]. I could still ask: Since you have said that the law of robbery8 does not apply to it, why again state that the law of returning a lost object to its owner does not apply to it?10 — Said Rabina: This refers to the skin10 of the cat [where it...
...] referred only to a case such as where e.g., they saw the murder taking place at night time when they were unable to act in a judicial capacity.11 Or if you like I may say that what R. Judah Nesi'ah said to the offender was, 'Since I am here who concur with R. Jose the Galilean who stated that a Tyrian maneh should be paid, and since there are here witnesses testifying against you, go and pay the...
... court of law? Again, if the mansion meanwhile collapsed, would it be necessary to erect it anew [as it was before for the inspection of the court of law]?14 We must therefore say that just as a fist is a definite object that was placed before the sight of witnesses [when the murder was committed] so also it is necessary that all other instruments should have been placed before the sight of the...
.... 114a. In the case of Sanhedrin witnessing a murder. As judgments could be passed only at day time; cf. Sanh. IV, 1. [But where witnessed during the daytime, they can immediately act in the dual capacity of judges and witnesses.] Ex. XXI, 18. [Though the witnesses had an opportunity of examining the killing instrument, where the Judges had no such opportunity, no death penalty can be passed.] [In...
... use of what is attached to the soil. For since it was mukzeh at twilight it may not be used for the whole of the Sabbath. For then one may remove it from the tree, replace it, and so on, thus making use of the tree itself, which is prohibited. He will not remove it from the tree on the Sabbath, because of the interdict of mukzeh, which in this respect does not operate on Festivals. None at all...
... to R. Joseph: And do you yourself not hold that R. Johanan [rules] as R. Judah?20 Surely R. Abba and R. Assi visited R. Abba of Haifa,21 when a candelabrum fell on R. Assi's robe, but he did not remove it. What is the reason? Surely because R. Assi was R. Johanan's disciple, and R. Johanan held as R. Judah, who maintained [the prohibition of] mukzeh? — You speak of a candelabrum...
... skin] the largest portions of which are severed [from the body], — by hand it is permitted [wholly to remove them]; (if one severs them] with a utensil, he is liable to a sin-offering. Is there anything which [if done] with a utensil renders one liable to a sin-offering, yet is permitted by hand at the very outset?23 — This is its meaning: If the greater portions thereof are severed...
... by hand, it is permitted [to remove them wholly]; if done with a utensil one is not culpable, yet it is prohibited. If the greater portions thereof are not severed, [if wholly removed] by hand one is not culpable. yet it is prohibited: with a utensil, one is liable to a sin-offering. Rab Judah said: The halachah is as R. Simeon b. Eleazar. Said Rabbah b. Bar Hanah in R. Johanan's name: Providing...
.... XIII, 3 (the minimum is two hairs). Also a symptom of leprosy, ibid. 10. Deut. XXI, 8: Take heed in the plague of leprosy this is interpreted as a command not to remove the evidences thereof. Since he thereby effectively removes the symptom of leprosy, the remaining one being insufficient to prove him unclean. He is culpable in the first case because his action is effective, but in the second it does...
..., so that it should not die. R. Joshua said: One may haul up the first in order to kill it, but he does not kill it, then he practises an evasion and hauls up the second, and kills whichever he desires!13 — How so? perhaps R. Eliezer rules thus only there, because provisions can be made, but not here, seeing that that is impossible. And perhaps R. Joshua rules thus only there because...
... saying (that one must not rescue food] on the Sabbath for a Festival, or on a Sabbath for the following Sabbath. Our Rabbis taught: If one forgets a loaf in an oven, and the day becomes holy upon him,18 food for three meals may be saved,19 and he may say to others, 'Come and save for yourselves.' And when he removes [the bread], he must not remove it with a mardeh20 but with a knife...
... NEEDLE TO REMOVE A THORN, etc. Raba son of Rabbah sent to R. Joseph: Let our Master teach us, What of a needle from which the eye or the point has been removed?17 We have learnt it, he replied: A SMALL NEEDLE TO REMOVE A THORN: now, what does it matter to the thorn whether it has an eye or not? He [thereupon] put an objection to him: If the eye or the point of a needle is removed, it is clean?18...
..., whereas here it is natural3 R. Shesheth said, Whence do I rule thus? Because we learnt: A SMALL NEEDLE TO REMOVE A THORN.4 And R. Nahman? — There it is [externally] deposited,5 whereas here it is not [externally] deposited.6 MISHNAH. A CANE FOR OLIVES,7 IF IT HAS A BULB ON TOP,8 IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO DEFILEMENT; IF NOT, IT IS NOT SUSCEPTIBLE TO DEFILEMENT. IN BOTH CASES...
...] MAY NOT BE TOUCHED.7 R. JUDAH SAID: IF IT WAS UNDONE BEFORE THE SABBATH, ONE MAY UNFASTEN THE WHOLE AND REMOVE IT. GEMARA. R. Nahman said: A radish, if it is the right way up, it is permitted; if it is reversed, it is forbidden.8 R. Adda b. Abba said, The scholars9 said, We learnt [a Mishnah] in disagreement with R. Nahman: ONE MUST NOT MOVE STRAW [LYING] UPON A BED WITH HIS HAND...
...] that is loose [on the last].13 For it was taught, R. Judah said: If it is loose. it is permitted [to remove it]. The reason [then why it is permitted] is because it is loose. But if it is not loose it is not [permitted]? This is well on Abaye's view that an article whose function is for a forbidden purpose may be [handled] when required for itself, but not when its place [only] is required...
... at and so she will take it off' (Rashi), or it fall off, and she come to carry it. She is particular about the fit, and if it is not exact, she may remove and carry it. 'New' means never worn at all. Lit., 'while it was yet day Friday.' 'Clean' and 'unclean' mean not susceptible and susceptible to uncleanness respectively. R. Eliezer holds that as long as it is on the last it is not a completely...
... will go to heaven." Then Buddha said, "Why don't you kill your father or your mother or yourself? Why are you missing the opportunity to go to heaven? This bull may not want to go to heaven. If this is certain, then kill your father or kill your mother - or kill yourself! The best thing is to kill yourself!" The brahmin listened to Buddha. His presence made it so clear to him: he...
... helped him. Or maybe, seeing the truth that he was a coward he may have resisted, and he would have said, "Okay, you kill me, but I am not going to bow down." Either he should have bowed down out of fear - but then he would have become more humble, knowing that "I am a coward" - or maybe, seeing the fear, he may have stood his ground and may have said, "Okay, I am not going to...
... be a coward. You kill me, but I am not going to do something that has no appeal for me." Now arguing in a roundabout way he has saved himself. But saved from what? - saved from God, saved from truth. He has been cunning. A cunning mind is a suicidal mind. THE SAYED, WHEN IT WAS HIS TURN, SAID, "AS A SPECIALLY PROTECTED PERSON, HAVING IN MY VEINS THE BLOOD OF THE HOLY PROPHET, MY ACTIONS...
... will be decapitated, that you will be thrown unto dust. You will not be able to stand before God. Your untruth will kill you... AND SET THE PROSTITUTE FREE. And before truth, only that power that comes out of humbleness, that knowing that comes out of innocence, only that is set free, only that is liberated. Freedom is for those who are free of the ego. There is no other kind of freedom. Freedom...
