**משנה:** כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל יֵשׁ לָהֶם חֵלֶק לָעוֹלָם הַבָּא. וְאֵילּוּ שֶׁאֵין לָהֶן חֵלֶק לָעוֹלָם הַבָּא הָאוֹמֵר אֵין תְּחִיַית הַמֵּתִים מִן הַתּוֹרָה וְאֵין תּוֹרָה מִן הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֶפִּיקוּרוֹס. רַבִּי עֲקִיבָה אוֹמֵר אַף הַקּוֹרֵא בִסְפָרִים הַחִיצוֹנִים וְהַלּוֹחֵשׁ עַל הַמַּכָּה וְאוֹמֵר כָּל הַמַּחֲלָה אֲשֶׁר שַׂמְתִּי בְמִצְרַיִם לֹא אָשִׂים עָלֶיךָ כִּי אֲנִי יי רֹפְאֶךָ. אַבָּא שָׁאוּל אוֹמֵר אַף הַהוֹגֶה אֶת הַשֵּׁם בְּאוֹתִיּוֹתָיו.

**MISHNAH:** All of Israel¹ have a part in the World to Come. But the following have no part in the World to Come: One who says that the resurrection of the dead is not biblical³, or that the Torah is not from Heaven, or the Epicurean⁴. Rebbi Aqiba says, also one who reads outside books⁵, or who whispers over a wound⁶ and says, *any sickness that I put on Egypt I shall not put on you, for I am the Eternal, your Healer*. Abba Shaul said, also one who pronounces the Name⁷ WH. by its letters.

footnotes:
¹ Even those executed for a capital crime. In contrast to Christian (Pauline) teaching that everybody is damned unless he be saved by his particular faith, it is asserted that everybody is saved except when he denies himself salvation.
³ Since he denies the existence of the World to Come, it cannot exist for him.
⁴ Who holds that the world is an assembly of atoms subject to random effects.
⁵ Sectarian religious literature.
⁶ Or any sick person. It is blasphemous to use biblical verses to heal through miracles.
⁷ YHWH, whose vocalization does not follow grammatical rules. In cabbalistic invocations of the Name, therefore, one never mentions the letters of the Name in straight sequence but says: YH in

**HALAKHAH:** “The following have no part in the World to Come,” etc. ⁸ 1:1 (Notes 199–213,P) and partially also from *Qiddušin* 1:10 (Notes 657–680,Q), where the differences in readings are noted.
For this paragraph, cf. Babli 99a, *Sifry Num*. 112, Mishnah *Avot* 3:15. They added one who tears away the yoke, one who breaks the Covenant, and one who finds aspects in the Torah, to those who have no part in the World to Come. He who tears away the yoke is one who says the Torah is obligatory but I cannot stand it. He who breaks the Covenant is one who pulls himself a prepuce. He who finds aspects in the Torah is one who says that the Torah was not given from Heaven. But did we not state separately: “He who says that the Torah is not from Heaven?” Rebbi Ḥanina Entanaya stated before Rebbi Mana: This is one who publicly transgresses the words of the Torah in the manner of Joiakim ben Josia, king of Judah, and his circle.

**Le Talmud de Jérusalem, traduit par Moise Schwab, 1878-1890 [fr]:**
Idolatry and incest and adultery. Rebbi Jonah and Rebbi Yose, one said, like the easy ones⁹ and qualified in the next paragraph, easy sins are those for which a person is punished in this world so that they will not diminish his bliss in the World to Come. Hard ones are those for which a person will suffer in Hell., and one says, like the hard ones. What are we talking about? If he repented, there is nothing that stands in the way of those who repent. But what we are talking about is one who did not repent and died through extirpation.

He who has a preponderance of merit inherits paradise. He who has a preponderance of sins inherits hell. What if he is in equilibrium? Rebbi Yose ben Ḥanina said, it does not say “He lifts sins” but rather *He lifts sin*¹¹. 34:7, Michal 7:18.. The Holy One, praise to Him, removes one document from the sins and the merits tilt. Rebbi Eleazar said, *kindness is Yours, o Master, because You repay everyone according to his deeds*¹². 62:13., and if he has none, You give him from Yours. This is the opinion of Rebbi Eleazar, because Rebbi Eleazar said, *and much kindness*¹³. 34:7., He turns towards kindness.

Rebbi Jeremiah said that Rebbi Samuel bar Rav Isaac asked: *Justice protects the one on the straight path but sin destroys the sinner*¹⁴. 13:6.*. Evil deeds will pursue the sinner but He will reward the just*¹⁵. 13:21.. *While He makes scoffers targets of scoffing, He will bestow grace on the meek*¹⁶. 3:34.*. He will watch over the feet of his pious ones, but evildoers will be silent in the darkness*¹⁷.. 2:9.*. The wise will inherit honor, but shame will mark the stupid ones*¹⁸. 3:35.. Fences are made fences and doors doors. Is it so that fences make fences and doors doors? But so it is: Rebbi Jeremiah in the name of Rebbi Samuel ben Rav Isaac: If a person is careful the first, second, and third times not to commit a sin, then in the future the Holy One, praise to Him, will watch over him. What is the reason? *All this God will do twice, three times with a man*¹⁹ 33:29.. Rebbi Zeˋira said, but only if the person does not revert [to sin]. What is the reason? It does not say *the triple thread* “will never snap” but rather *will not quickly snap*²⁰. 4:12.. If you work on it, it will split.

²³ 8:8 (45b l.70, **ו**),*Ševuot* 1:9 (33b l.60, **ש**); similar texts in the Babli *Yoma* 86a, Tosephta *Yom Hakippurim* 5:6, *Mekhilta dR. Ismael Yitro*7, *Avot dR. Nathan A* 29, *Midrash Mishle* 10(6) [*Yalqut Šim`ony Jeremiah* 269, *Wehizhir* part 1 p. 54]. Rebbi Matthew ben Ḥarash asked Rebbi Eleazar ben Azariah in the Academy²⁴. He told him, did you hear the four types of Atonement which Rebbi Ismael explained? He answered him, there are three in addition to repentance. One verse says²⁵. 3:22., *return, naughty children, I shall heal your waywardness*. But another verse says²⁶. 16:30., *for on that day, He shall pardon you, to cleanse you*. And another verse says²⁷. 89:33., *I shall visit their crime with the rod, and their iniquity with plagues*. And another verse says²⁸. 22:14., *the iniquity of this people shall not be atoned for until you die*. How is this? If somebody violates a positive commandment and repents, immediately before he moves from there the Holy One, praise to Him, would forgive him. About this one it says, *return, naughty children, I shall heal your waywardness*. If one transgresses a prohibition, repentance suspends judgment, and the Day of Atonement pardons. About this one it says, *for on that day, He shall pardon you*, etc. If one intentionally transgressed [sins punishable by] extirpations or death penalties, repentance and the Day of Atonement pardon half, and sufferings pardon half. About this one it says, *I shall visit their crime with the rod*, etc. But by whom the Name of Heaven was desecrated, there is no power in repentance to suspend judgment, nor in the Day of Atonement to pardon, nor in sufferings to scour; but repentance and the Day of Atonement pardon a third, and suffering a third, and death scours²⁹. 6:21 to describe the thorough cleansing of a metal vessel by scouring.
In the *Ševuot* text, punishment for behavior that amounts to Desecration of the Name, i. e., unethical behavior by reputedly religious persons, can be suspended by repentance and the Day of Atonement, but only death in suffering scours. a third. About this one it says, *the iniquity of this people shall not be atoned for until you die*. From this we learn that death scours.

³⁰ 8:8 (45c l.12, **ו**), *Ševuot* 1:9 (33b l.75, **ש**). Rebbi Joḥanan said, these are the words of Rebbi Eleazar ben Azariah, Rebbi Ismael, and Rebbi Aqiba. But the words of the Sages are that the sent-away ram³¹ pardons. How does it pardon? Rebbi Zeˋira said, by and by. Rebbi Ḥanina said, at the end³². 16:22.. What is the difference between them? If somebody died in-between³³. In the opinion of Rebbi Zeˋira, he already was pardoned. In the opinion of Rebbi Ḥanina, he was not pardoned. Rebbi Ḥanina said, a *baraita* supports Rebbi Zeˋira³⁴ 4:16. Rashi deleted the parallel quote from the Babli *Ševuo* t 13b, *s. v*. דתניא חומר בשעיר.: There is strength in the ram which is not in the Day of Atonement, and in the Day of Atonement which is not in the ram, for the Day of Atonement pardons without a ram, but the ram does not atone except on the Day of Atonement. There is strength in the ram, for it pardons immediately but the Day of Atonement only at nightfall. Rebbi Huna said, the question was raised before Rebbi Jeremiah³⁵ and he said, explain it if they intended to bring another ram but they did not bring it³⁶. Rebbi Yose ben Yose said, but does the Holy One, praise to Him, not see into the future? Then He should pardon immediately³⁷.

³¹ The scapegoat which carries the sins to the desert. The other two sources have a statement that in the absence of a scapegoat the day of Atonement alone pardons. This is necessary for an understanding of the text.
³² The moment when the scapegoat falls down the cliff (אֶרֶץ גְּזֵרָה the cut-off land”), Lev
³³ In the time interval between the High Priest’s confession which puts the sins on the ram and its arrival at the cliff.
³⁴ Tosephta Kippurim
³⁵ Is not the ram atoning when there is a Temple, the Day of Atonement when there is none?
³⁶ In case the original ram developed a bodily defect before it was sent away, a substitute has to be chosen. If none was found, the Day must pardon even if there is a Temple.
³⁷ The questioner (Note 35) is correct.

Not only if he was contemptuous of the teachings of the Torah, from where if he denied one verse, one Aramaic expression, one argument *de minore ad majus*? The verse says, *His command he violated*. One verse, *Lotan’s sister was Timna`*⁴⁰. 36:22; cf. *Gen. rabba* 82(15).. One Aramaic expression, *Laban called it Yegar Sahadu̅ta̅*⁴¹. 31:47. In *Gen. rabba* 72(12) the expression is characterized as Syriac.. One argument *de minore ad majus*: *For Cain would be avenged sevenfold*, etc.⁴². 4:24.

Another interpretation: That is one who mentions teachings of the Torah at a filthy place. ⁴³ 3:5 (Notes 222–223), Babli *Berakhot* 24b. As the following: Rebbi Hila and the colleagues were sitting in front of a hostelry in the evening. They asked, may one say words of the Torah? They said, since if it were daytime we would see what is before us, therefore now it is forbidden.

⁴⁴ 36(3); a short reference is in the Babli, 104a. Bar Qappara said, Ahaz and all evil kings of Israel have no part in the World to Come. What is the reason? *All their kings fell, not one of them calls to Me*⁴⁵. 7:7. This seems to contradict Misnhah 2, where only two kings of Israel are denied part in the World to Come.. They objected to him: Is he not mentioned in the era⁴⁶ of kings, *in the days of Uzziahu, Yotham, Ahaz, Yeḥizqiahu the kings of Jehudah*⁴⁷. 1:1.? He answered them, because he showed shame. How did he show shame? Rebbi Aḥa in the name of Rebbi Eleazar, Rebbi Yose in the name of Rebbi Joshua ben Levi: You find that when the prophet came to accuse him⁴⁸, he fled to an impure place and buried his face in an impure place, implying that the Divine Presence does not dwell at an impure place. That is what is written⁴⁹. 7:3.: *The Eternal said to Isaiah, please go out towards Aḥaz, you and your son Še’ar Yašuv, to the end of the canal of the upper pond, to the path of the fuller’s field*. Do not read *fuller’s* but *suppressing*⁵⁰. He hid his face and fled before him. (How is that? When the prophet came to accuse him, he fled to an impure place and buried his face in an impure place.)⁵¹ Rebbi Jehudah⁵² says, because he was made to suffer about his firstborn son. What is the reason? *Zimri, the strongman of Ephraim, killed*⁵³. 28:7. The name should be זִכְרִי not זִמְרִי. etc. Rebbi Hoshaia the Elder said, because his father was just. ⁵⁴, New York 1909, pp. 260–264. But was Manasse’s father not just⁵⁵? Manasse’s father was just but his son was evil. Hezekias’s father was evil and his son was evil. That is what Hezekias says⁵⁶. 38:17.: *Behold about peace, bitter is bitter for me*. Bitter before me, from Aḥaz. Bitter after me, from Manasse. Aḥaz’s father was just and his son just, that is what is written⁵⁷. 11:21. The first part of the verse has differing interpretations below and in *Midrash Prov*. 11:21, Babli *Berakhot* 61a, *Eruvin* 18b, *Sotah* 4b.: *hand to hand will not cleanse evil, but the seed of the just will escape*. [Rebbi Phineas said.]⁵⁸ it is not written “the seed of a just will escape” but *the seed of the just will escape*. The seed lying⁵⁹ between two just men will escape⁶⁰ ritual of modern Judaism..

⁶² 36(3). Another explanation: *Hand to hand will not cleanse evil*. Rebbi Phineas said, that is one who gives alms and expects an immediate reward. Rebbi Simon said, like a man who says, here is a sack, here is a tetradrachma, and here is a *se`ah*, go and fill it. You should know that this is so, for if the patriarchs had demanded to receive the reward in this world for the good deeds which they did, from where would their merit remain for their descendants after them? That is what Moses told Israel⁶³. 26:42.: *I shall remember My covenant with Jacob*, etc.

⁶⁴ 36(5). How far did the merit of the forefathers extend? Rebbi Tanḥuma said in the name of the Elder Rebbi Ḥiyya, (Bar) [Rebbi] Naḥman said it in the name of Rebbi Berekhiah, Rebbi Ḥelbo in the name of Rebbi Abba bar Zavda, up to Joaḥaz. *The Eternal was compassionate about them and had mercy for them* etc., *up to now*⁶⁵. 13:23.. Up to that moment, the merit of the forefathers existed. Samuel said, up to Hosea’s [time]. *But now, I shall uncover her scandalous behavior before the eyes of her lovers, and no man may save her from My hand*⁶⁶. 2:12.. *Man* can only mean Abraham, as you say, *but now return the**man’s wife, for he is a prophet*⁶⁷. 20:7.. *Man* can only mean Isaac, as you say, *who is this man coming in the field towards us*⁶⁸. 24:65.? *Man* can only mean Jacob, as you say, *but Jacob was a simple man*⁶⁹. 25:27.. Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said, up to Elijah: *It was when the time of the afternoon service came that Elijah the prophet approached and said, O Eternal, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, today it shall be proclaimed that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant*⁷⁰. 18:36. Since Elijah’s prayer was granted, this gives a *terminus post quem*. etc. Rebbi Yudan said, up to Hezekias, *to increase dominion and peace without end*⁷¹. 9:6.. ⁷² 7(11), *Ex. rabba* 44(3). The argument really is not about the patriarchs’ merits but about the validity of the Covenant. Rebbi Aḥa said, the merit of the forefathers extends forever: *For the Eternal is a Merciful Power*, etc., up to *and He shall not forget your forefather’s covenant*⁷³. 4:31.. This teaches that the covenant was sealed with the tribes. Rebbi Yudan bar Ḥanan in the name of Rebbi Berekhiah: The Holy One, praise to Him, said to Israel: If you see that the merit of the fathers reels, and the merit of the mothers trembles, go and cling to grace.⁷⁴. 54:10.*For mountains may reel, and hills tremble; for mountains may reel*, this is the fathers’ merit, *and hills tremble*, this is the mothers’ merit. After that, *but My Grace will not leave you and My Covenant of Peace will not reel, says the One Who has mercy on you, the Eternal*.

⁷⁹ 2 (Buber 4), *Num. rabba* 18(2), *Midrash Prov*. 11(27). Rav said, Koraḥ was an Epicurean. What did he do? He went and made togas completely of blue wool. He came before Moses and asked him, does a toga made completely out of blue wool need *ṣiṣit*? He answered, it is an obligation since it is written⁸⁰. 22:12. While from *Num*. 15:37–41 one might free a blue toga from exhibiting a blue thread, this verse makes it clear that a knotted appendage is needed.: *braids you shall make for yourselves*. Does a house full of Torah scrolls need a *mezuzah*? He answered, it needs a *mezuzah* since it is written⁸¹. 6:9, 11:20., *you shall write them on the door-posts of your house*, etc. He asked him, what is the rule for a white spot the size of a bean⁸². 13:18–23. By rabbinic interpretation, a white spot indicates skin disease only if it is at least the size of a Cilician bean.? He answered him, it is impure. If it spread over his entire body? He answered him, it is pure⁸³. 13:13.. At that moment, Koraḥ said that the Torah is not from Heaven, nor is Moses a [true] prophet, nor Aaron a High Priest. ⁸⁴ 18(15), *Midrash Prov*. 11(27). Then Moses said, Master of all worlds! If a mouth of the earth had been created during the Six Days of Creation, it is fine. Otherwise it should be created now: *If the Eternal would create a Creation*⁸⁵. 16:30..

⁹⁰. 16:33.*They and everything that belonged to them descended alive into the pit*. Rebbi Berekhiah in the name of Rebbi Ḥelbo, even their names flew away from their papyrus rolls¹. Rebbi Yose ben Ḥanina said, even one of their needles that was in the hand of an Israel as a loan was swallowed up with them, for it is written: *They and everything that belonged to them descended alive into the pit*. Who prayed for them? Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman said, Moses prayed for them, *Reuben shall live and not die*⁹¹. 33:6, this refers to Datan and Abiram from the tribe of Reuben.. ⁹² ed. Buber 5(12). Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said, Hannah prayed for them. This is Rebbi Joshua ben Levi’s opinion, as Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said in the name of Rebbi Yose: Koraḥ’s (opinion) [band] was continuously sinking until Hannah stood up and said, *the Eternal kills and brings to life, He sends down into the pit and lifts*⁹³. 2:6. She was married to a descendant of Korah’s (*2 Chr*. 6:18–23)..

“Rebbi Aqiba says, also he who reads outside books.” ⁹⁴ 12(13). For example, the books of Ben Sirach and Ben Laana⁹⁵ (Note 152) seems to read בן עיראי. In the Babli: books of heretics (מינין). The only books forbidden to study are non-canonical books claiming biblical status.. But the books of Homer and all books written from now on, one who reads them is like one who reads a letter. What is the reason? *More than these, my son, be careful*⁹⁶. 12:12. The reference is to the end of the verse, not quoted here: לַהַג הַרְבֶּה. The quote leads to a digression about *Eccl*. 12:11. etc. They are given to be read, not given for exertion.

⁹⁷. 12:11, without direct connection with the theme of the Chapter; cf Note 96. Parallels are found in *Pesiqta rabbati* 3 (ed. Ish-Shalom 7b–8a); *Midrash Qohelet* 12:11–12; *Lev. rabba* 129(6), *Num. rabba* 13:11–13).*The words of the Sages are like goads;* Rebbi Huna said, like a pearl. There, they call a pearl *dirah*⁹⁸. Another explanation, *like goads*, like a girl’s ball. Just as this ball is caught from hand to hand but in the end will come to rest in one hand, so “Moses received the Torah from Sinai and transmitted it to Joshua, Joshua to the Elders, the Elders to the Prophets, and the Prophets transmitted it to the Men of the Great Assembly⁹⁹ 1:1..” Another explanation, *like goads*. It has three names, *mardea`*, *da̅r**va̅n, malmad. Mardea`*, because it teaches knowledge to the cow¹⁰⁰ that מרדע is a Mishnaic, not a biblical word.. *Da̅r*e*va̅n*, because it plants understanding in the cow. *Malmad*, because it teaches the cow to plough, to keep its owners alive. Rebbi Ḥama bar Ḥanina said, if a person makes a goad for his cow, certainly [he has to make one] for his bad inclinations which will remove him from this world and the World to Come.

⁹⁷. 12:11, without direct connection with the theme of the Chapter; cf Note 96. Parallels are found in *Pesiqta rabbati* 3 (ed. Ish-Shalom 7b–8a); *Midrash Qohelet* 12:11–12; *Lev. rabba* 129(6), *Num. rabba* 13:11–13).*And like planted nails*. Why does he not say, “like fixed nails and planted trees”? They chose and selected the iron and improved the planting of iron rods. Another explanation, *and like planted nails*. Just as this nail, once it has been fixed, if you then remove it from its place, its place remains visible; so everybody against whom the rabbis¹⁰¹ I, ed. Y. Sussman, D. Rosenthal, Jerusalem 1990, p. 6 Note 17). stretched out their hand¹⁰², even if afterwards they took him back, in the end he will take what is coming to him from their hands. Another explanation, *and like planted nails*; it is written *watches*¹⁰³, Jerusalem 1938, p. 130 Note 4.
The *watches* are the 24 clans of priests (*1Chr*. 24), each of which was serving in the Temple for one week.. Since there are 24 watches, there should be 24 nails¹⁰⁴ 6:1 (8a l. 21 ff.), Babli *Šabbat* 60b. It is forbidden to wear nail-studded work-boots on the Sabbath. But it is permitted to wear shoes decorated with nails. There are different traditions about the number of nails which will constitute a decoration.. How many nails should it have? Rebbi Joḥanan said five, corresponding to the five books of the Torah. Rebbi Ḥinena said seven, *corresponding to your days are your steps*¹⁰⁵. 33:24.. Rebbi Aḥa explained following Rebbi Ḥanina: nine. Rebbi put eleven on one [shoe] and thirteen on the other, for the number of watches. Rebbi Yose ben Ḥanina said, a crooked nail is not counted with the nails¹⁰⁶. Rebbi Abba bar Zavda asked before Rebbi Zeˋira¹⁰⁷: The third generation R. Zeˋira asked the second generation R. Abba bar Zavda. Here ends the Genizah fragment.: may one put all of them on one boot? He told him, it is permitted. May one put all of them on one sandal? He told him, it is permitted. It was stated: One does not scrape¹⁰⁸ 141b); it is forbidden to scrape off dirt from one’s shoes on the Sabbath. old boots or sandals but one may anoint them or dip them in water. Rebbi Crispus in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: The students of the Elder Rebbi Ḥiyya say that those of first rank said, one may scrape, those of second rank said, one may not scrape. They asked Rebbi, who told them, one does not scrape. Rebbi Zeˋira said, here goes one of the students of the Elder Rebbi Ḥiyya¹⁰⁹. Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Ashi said, we used to sit before Rav and were anointing and rinsing, but not scraping. It was stated: A person should wear new boots and sandals only if he walked in them during daytime¹¹⁰. How far should he walk? The people from the house of Bar Qappara said, from the House of Study of Bar Qappara to the House of Study of Rebbi Hoshaia¹¹¹. The Sepphoreans say, from the Babylonian synagogue to Rebbi Ḥama bar Ḥanina’s house. The Tiberians say, from the Academy to Rebbi Hoshaia’s store. It was stated¹¹² 8:8, Notes 119–124. Olive oil produced in the Sabbatical year has to be used for the personal needs of man or animal; it is permitted to use it to daub one’s body but not to prepare leather or leather products.: Nobody should anoint his foot in a shoe or sandal but he may anoint his foot and step into his shoe or his sandal. One may anoint himself and roll on a tarpaulin without worry. One should not put it on a marble slab to roll himself in it, but Rabban Gamliel permits it. Another explanation, *and like planted nails*. If words about Torah are spelled out clearly by their authors, they are sweet to their listeners like well-ordered saplings. But if they come out confused, they are as bitter for their listeners as nails.

Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa said, it is written as *yod he* but read as *alef dalet*¹²³ pronunciation of YHWH even if demonstrably unhistorical (cf. *Berakhot* 1:1, Note 14.).

footnotes:
⁷ YHWH, whose vocalization does not follow grammatical rules. In cabbalistic invocations of the Name, therefore, one never mentions the letters of the Name in straight sequence but says: YH in

So what did Aḥab do¹²⁹? It is written¹³⁵. 16:31.: *If it would have been too easy to follow the sins of Jeroboam ben Nevat*. Are not the light sins of Aḥab the serious sins of Jeroboam? Why was Jeroboam counted first¹³⁶? Because he started the misconduct. What did Aḥab do? He adorned himself every day and stood before his army commander¹³⁷ Ḥiel, asking him, for how much am I good today? He answered him, so and so much; then he donated its value¹³⁸ to foreign worship. That is what is written¹³⁹. 21:20. *Because you sold yourself to do evil in the Eternal’s eyes*. Rebbi Levi continued for six months to explain the following verse to shame¹⁴⁰. 21:25. *There never was anyone like Aḥab who sold himself to do evil in the Eternal’s eyes*. He came to him at night¹⁴¹ and asked him, how did I sin against you, what did I do before you? You have the first part of the verse, but you do not have the end of the verse: *whom his wife Jezebel had misguided*.

It is written¹⁴³ 16:34; cf. Babli 113a, Tosephta 14:6–9.: *In his days did Ḥiel from Bet-El build Jericho; with his first-born Aviram he set the foundation and with his youngest son Seguv he put in the doors*. Ḥiel is from the descendants of Josaphat¹⁴⁴21:2., Jericho is in the territory of Benjamin. Only that good deeds are put in the hands of the worthy and bad deeds in the hands of the unworthy; therefore, it is said, *with his first-born Aviram he set the foundation and with his youngest son Seguv he put in the doors*. If it was not appropriate for him to learn from his firstborn Aviram, should he not have learned from the wicked Seguv¹⁴⁵? Because they wanted to make more money¹⁴⁶, the curse ruled over them and they were continuously weakened to confirm what was said¹⁴³ 16:34; cf. Babli 113a, Tosephta 14:6–9., *following the word of the Eternal, the God of Israel, which He had spoken through Joshua ben Nun*. It is written¹⁴⁷ 17:1, the verse immediately following 16:34; the medieval division into chapters is misleading.: *Elijah the Tisbite, from the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Aḥab: By the Living Eternal, the God of Israel, before Whom I stood, there will not be dew or rain in the coming years except by my word*. What is the connection between these¹⁴⁸ 17:1, and *1K.* 16:34.? The Holy One, praise to Him, had said to Elijah: this Ḥiel is an important personality, go and pay a visit of condolence. He answered, I do not want to go. He asked, why? He said, for if I go and they say things that enrage You, I shall not be able to bear it. He told him, If they say anything that would enrage Me, anything that you decide I shall fulfill. He went and found them discussing the verse¹⁴⁹6:26.: *At that time, Joshua imprecated as follows: Cursed be the man before the Eternal who would build this town, Jericho; with his first-born he shall put in the foundation and with his youngest set the doors*. He said, praised be the God of the just, Who fulfills the words of the just. Aḥab also was there. Aḥab said to them, who is greater, Moses or Joshua? They told him, Moses. He said to them, in Moses’s Torah it is written¹⁵⁰ 11:16–17.: *Watch yourselves, lest your hearts be seduced, you deviate, and worship other powers and bow down before them*. What is written next? *The rage of the Eternal will burn against you, He will lock up the sky and there will be no rain*. But I did not leave any strange worship that I would not have worshipped, and all good and comforting things came in my generation. He did not uphold the words of Moses; would He uphold Joshua’s words? Elijah told him, it is as you say, *by the Living Eternal, the God of Israel, before Whom I stood, there will not be dew or rain in the coming years except by my word*. When he heard this, he started crying. That is what is written¹⁵¹ 21:27. This belongs to the Nabot affair, not the drought.: *When Aḥab heard these words, he tore his garments, put sackcloth on his flesh, fasted, slept in sackcloth and went at*. How long did he fast? He fasted for three hours. If he was used to eat at 6 o’clock, he ate at noontime. If he was used to eat at noontime, he ate at three p.m. *He went at*. What is *at*? Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said, he went barefoot¹⁵² (S. L. Skoss, *Kitab Jamuˋ Al Alfāz*, New Haven 1935) accepts the Jerushalmi’s explanation. Rav Saadya Gaon (נחמיה אלוני, האגרון לדב סעדיה גאון, י־ם תשכט) translates אט as رفق “to be sweet. Compare Arabic اطّ “to creak, to groan”.. It is written:¹⁵³21:28–29. *The word of the Eternal went to Elijah the Tisbite as follows: Did you see that Aḥab surrendered before me*? The Holy One, praise to Him, said to Elijah: See the good part which I put in My world. A person may sin greatly before Me, but if he repents I am accepting him¹⁴¹. That is what is written, *did you see that Aḥab surrendered before Me?* You saw that Aḥab repented. *Because Aḥab surrendered before me, I shall not bring the evil in his days; in his son’s days I shall bring the evil over his dynasty.*

¹⁵⁴ 42(4), *Esther rabba Introduction, Lev. rabba* 11, *Ruth rabba*1(7). But what did Aḥaz do? He built a throne in the Temple Court. That is what is written: “The throne-hall which they built in the Temple,¹⁵⁵ the reference is to *2K.* 16:18: The Sabbath shelter which they had built in the temple …”” etc. Rebbi Onias in the name of Rebbi Eleazar. Why is he called “the grabber¹⁵⁶”? For he grabbed synagogues and houses of study¹⁵⁷. To what may Aḥaz be compared? To a king who had a son whom he entrusted to his pedagogue¹⁵⁸. The latter wanted to kill him. He said, if I kill him, I will be put to death. But I shall draw his wet-nurse away from him and he will die of himself. So Aḥaz said, if there are no kid goats there are no he-goats. If there are no he-goats there are no goats. If there are no goats there is no shepherd¹⁵⁹. If there is no shepherd there is no world; if it were thinkable that there be no world. So Aḥaz was thinking, if there are no children¹⁶⁰ there are no adults. If there are no adults, there are no Sages. If there are no Sages, there are no prophets. If there are no prophets, there is no Holy Spirit. If there is no Holy Spirit, there are no synagogues and no houses of study. If it were thinkable, the Holy One, praise to Him, will not let His Presence rest over Israel. Rebbi Jacob bar Abbai in the name of Rebbi Aḥa brings it from the following¹⁶¹ 8:17. *I shall wait for the Eternal, Who hid His Face from the House of Jacob, and put my hope in Him.* There was no worse moment in the world than when the Holy One, praise to Him, said to Moses¹⁶² 31:18.: *I shall certainly hide My Face at that time.* From that moment on, *I put my hope in Him,* Who said at Sinai,¹⁶³ 31:21. This was not said at Sinai but in the steppes of Moab; it is a promise that the study of Torah will never cease. *for it shall not be forgotten by his descendants.* What would its use be¹⁶⁴ 8:18. A different interpretation in the Babli 19b.? *Behold, I and the children which the Eternal has given me.* Were they his children? Were they not his students? But this teaches he loved them as if they were his sons and called them “my sons”.

What did Manasse do? It is written¹⁶⁵ 20:1, *Is.* 38:1.: *In these days, Hezekias became critically ill,* etc., *for you will die, you will not live. For you will die,* in this world, *you will not live,* in the Future World. He asked him, why? He answered him, because you did not want to have children¹⁶⁶ 10a.. He asked him, why do you not want to have children? He answered him, I saw that I will have an evil son; therefore, I do not want to have children. He told him, marry my daughter¹⁶⁷, maybe descending from me and you he will become a good person. Nevertheless the result was only a bad person. That is what is written¹⁶⁸ 32:7., *but my vessels, his vessels are bad.* He told him, I am not listening to you, I only am jumping on what my ancestor said, who told me¹⁶⁹ 2:1 (65b l.3), *Eccl. rabba* 7(29), *Tanhuma Noah* 8. The Yerushalmi version is the basis of a central piece of the Ashkenazic service of New Year’s day (in the Eastern European version also of the Day of Atonement). The Babli version (*Roš Haššanah* 16b) is quite different., if you see bad dreams or bad visions do jump onto three things and you will be saved. These are: prayer, giving alms, and repentance. All three from one verse¹⁷⁰ 7:14.: *If My people, over whom My Name is called, are subdued and they will pray,* that refers to prayer, *and they will ask before me,* that refers to giving alms, as you say¹⁷¹ 17:15., *I, by giving alms, shall see Your Face, I shall be satiated in waking by Your image. They shall repent their evil ways,* that is repentance. If they did this, what is written there? *I shall listen from Heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land.* Immediately, he turned, as is written.

They cut down the cedar and blood was seen flowing¹⁸² 49b.. *But the Eternal did not want to pardon*¹⁸³. 24:4.: from here that he has no part in the Future World. And is it not written¹⁸⁴. 15:4., *in addition to the sins of Manasse ben Hezekias, the king of Jehudah.* Let us say, before he changed his ways. *Because of all the rages by which Manasse enraged him*¹⁸⁵ 23:26, an almost correct quote.. Let us say, before he repented. But is it not written¹⁸⁶ 33:23.: *For he, Amon, increased in criminality.* He did not add, but he found new ways. And is there not written¹⁸⁷ 21:16.: *Also innocent blood did Manasse spill, a great deal, until he filled Jerusalem from mouth to mouth*? How is it possible for flesh and blood to fill Jerusalem with innocent blood from mouth to mouth?

¹⁸⁹,*Šuva*(ed. Buber p. 162a, Note 102). Similar texts are in *Deut. rabba* 2, *Ruth rabba ad*2:14. A quote is in *Pirqe R. Eliezer* 43. It is written¹⁹⁰ 33:10–11.: *The Eternal spoke to Manasse and to his people but they did not listen. He brought over them the generals of the king*[ ]¹⁹¹ lack “of the king of Assyria”.*;* *they caught Manasse in ḥo̅ḥîm.* What are *ḥo̅ḥîm*? Handcuffs¹⁹², -*arum* (Byzantine μανίκιον, Soph. 732) “handcuffs”. The combined word is not documented in Greek or Latin literature (E.G.).. Rebbi Levi said, they made a bronze mule¹⁹³ for him, put him inside, and started heating it from below. When he realized that he was in real trouble, he did not forget any strange worship but appealed to it. Since this did not help him any, he said, I remember that my father let me read the following verse in the synagogue¹⁹⁴ 4:30–31.: *When you are in straits*,*and all these things will find you in the future*,*then return to the Eternal*,*your God, and listen to His voice. For the Eternal, your God*,*is a merciful power. He will not let you slacken*,*He will not destroy you*,*nor will He forget the covenant of your forefathers which He concluded with them.* I shall call to Him. If He hears me, it is good; otherwise all faces are the same. The angels on duty closed all windows that Manasse’s prayer should not ascend before the Holy One, praise to Him. The angels on duty said to the Holy One, praise to Him: Master of the Universe, would You receive in repentance a man who worshipped other powers and put up an idol in the Temple Hall? He told them, If I would not receive his repentance, I would close the door in front of all repenting sinners. What did the Holy One, praise to Him, do for him? He dug out a tunnel under His Seat of Glory and accepted his supplication. That is what is written¹⁹⁵ 33:13.: *He prayed to Him*,*He had mercy on him, He accepted his supplication, and He returned him.* Rebbi Eleazar ben Rebbi Simeon said, in Arabia a tunnel is called *ˋatharta*¹⁹⁶ 25:21.. *He returned him to Jerusalem, to his kingship*¹⁹⁵ 33:13.. How did He return him? Samuel bar Bina in the name of Rebbi Aḥa: He returned him by the wind, as one says, “He returns wind.¹⁹⁷” At that moment, Manasse said, there is judgment and there is a judge¹⁹⁸ and *Jeremiah.*.

¹⁹² Literally “hand-handcuffs”; probably a hybrid from Greek χείρ “hand” and Latin manicae
¹⁹³ Interpretation of J. Levy, Dictionary vol. 3 p. 48a, confirmed by Targum. The story is inspired by what is told of Phalaris, tyrant of Agrigentum.
¹⁹⁴ Deut.

¹⁹⁶ Probably عا ثور “a dangerous place”. The explanation, quoted in support of the story about the angels, is unnecessary since the word ויעתר also appears in Gen.
¹⁹⁵ 2 Chr.
¹⁹⁷ From the daily prayer for rain in the rainy season. The identification of נשב and שוב in a sermon is possible only if the duplication of consonants was no longer audible in speech.
¹⁹⁸ Therefore Manasse died a believer; in the opinion of the author of Chronicles, he has part in the Future World. The Mishnah follows the opinion of the authors of Kings

¹⁹⁹ 131–132 (*Yalqut Hosea*526). Slightly different formulations in *Tanhuma Balaq* 18, *Num. rabba* 20; Babli 106a. Referred to in *Pirqe R. Eliezer* 47. But what did the evil Bileam do? Because he counseled Balaq ben Ṣippor to fell Israel by the sword. He told him, the God of this people hates whoring. If you put up your daughters for whoring, you may rule over them. He answered, but will they listen to me? He told him, put your own daughter up, they will see and listen to you. That is what is written²⁰⁰ 25:15.: *he is the head of related tribes in Midian.* What did they do? They built dining rooms²⁰¹ “upper storey room; dining room; garret”. Secondary Babli קלעים “partition wall, partition gobelin”. from Bet Hayyešimon²⁰² to the Snow Mountain²⁰³ and installed there women selling pastries. They put an old woman outside and a young girl inside. Israel were eating and drinking. If one of them went to stroll around, to buy himself something from the grocer, the old woman would offer to sell to him for the going price, but the girl told him, come and take it for less. This happened that first day, the second day, the third day. After that, she told him, from now on you are like a member of the family; enter and select for yourself. When he entered, there was a pitcher full of wine, of the strong Ammonite wine which seduces the body to whoring. Its smell was seething and (Gentile wine) [libation wine] was not yet forbidden for Israel²⁰⁴ 13:18. The prohibition of the consumption of other Gentile wine is attributed to Daniel (*Dan.* 1:8); it is not Mosaic. The corrected text and its parallel sequel adopt popular language which calls יַיִן נֶסֶךְ what correctly should be called סְתָם יֵינָם “their unspecified wine”.. She told him, maybe you want to drink a cup of wine? He answered her, yes. She gave to him and he drank. When he drank, the wine was burning in him like a viper’s poison²⁰⁵; he told her, consent to me. She told him, do you want me to consent to you? He answered, yes. Immediately she took out a shape of Peˋor from her bosom and told him, bow down before this one and I shall consent to you. But he answered her, should I bow down before foreign worship? She told him, you do not bow down, you only strip for it. This is what the Sages said²⁰⁶, “one who defecates in front of *Baal Peˋor* follows its worship. One who throws a stone at a statue of Mercury follows its worship.” ²⁰⁷ There was a pitcher full of wine, of the strong Ammonite wine which seduces the body to whoring. Its smell was seething and libation wine was not yet forbidden for Israel. She told him, maybe you want to drink a cup of wine? He answered her, yes. She gave to him and he drank. When he drank, the wine was burning in him like a viper’s poison²⁰⁵; he told her, consent to me. She told him, do you want me to consent to you? He answered, yes. She told him, make a vow to deny the teachings of Moses and I shall consent to you. That is what is written²⁰⁸9:10.: *They came to Baal-Peˋor, made vows for the shame, and turned into abominations like their love life.*

Rebbi Eleazar said, just as a nail cannot be taken out of a door without [loss of] wood, so it is impossible to get rid of *Peˋor* without [loss of] life. It happened that Sabbatai from Ulam leased his donkey to a Gentile woman to bow down before *Peˋor.* When they arrived at *Peˋor’s* temple, she told him, wait here for me while I am entering and bowing down before *Peˋor.* After she came out, he told her, wait here for me while I am entering and do what you did. What did he do? He entered, relieved himself, and cleansed himself on *Peˋor*’s nose. All were praising him and said, nobody yet had done what this man did²⁰⁹. It happened that Menaḥem from Guvta-Ariaḥ was occupied with amphoras when the spirit of *Peˋor* came to him in the night. What did he do? He took a spit, stood up against him; he fled. He came to him in the second night and asked him, Menaḥem, why do you curse me? He was afraid of him and promised him, I shall not curse you in the future²¹⁰. It happened that a ruler came from overseas to bow down before *Peˋor.* He told them, bring one bull, one ram, and one sheep, to bow down before *Peˋor.* They told him, you have no need for all of these; you only have to strip yourself for him. What did he do? He provoked סניגורים²¹¹ סנגדודים, in *Yalqut* סנגלרים. According to the context, pretorians must be intended. against them; they were hitting them and smashing their brains with bats, saying to them: woe to you and your error.

**Le Talmud de Jérusalem, traduit par Moise Schwab, 1878-1890 [fr]:**
It is written²¹² 25:3–4. *The rage of the Eternal was kindled against Israel. The Eternal said to Moses: Take all the heads of the people and hang them for the Eternal before the sun.* What he told him was, install their heads as judges over them and let them execute the sinners²¹³ at daytime. That is what is written: *Moses told the judges of Israel: each one should kill his men who cling to the Baˋal Peˋor*²¹⁴. 25:5.. How many were the judges of Israel²¹⁵? 78’600. Heads of thousands, 600. Heads of hundreds, 6'000. Heads of fifties, 12’000. heads of tens, 60’000. It turns out that the judges of Israel were 78’600. He told them, each of you should execute two. It turns out that the number of the killed was 157’200. *Behold, a man from the Children of Israel came and introduced to his brothers the Midianite woman, to the eyes of Moses*²¹⁶ 25:6.. What means *to the eyes of Moses*²¹⁷ but *in his eyes.*? Like a man who says, that is in your eyes, Moses. He told him, is not Ẓippora a Midianite, and are not her hooves split²¹⁸? This one is pure, that one is impure? There, Phineas was present. He said, is there nobody who would kill him or be killed? Where are the lions? *A lion whelp is Jehudah*²¹⁹ 49:9.*; Dan is a lion whelp*²²⁰ 33:22.*; Benjamin a rapacious wolf*²²¹ 49:27.. When Phineas saw that nobody of Israel did anything, he immediately rose from his court, took the spear in his hand, and put its iron under his belt²²² “band, girdle”.. He was leaning on its wood until he arrived at his door. When he arrived at his²²³ door, they²²⁴ asked him, where to, Phineas? He said to them, do you not agree that everywhere the tribe of Levi is with the tribe of Simeon? They said, let him, maybe the Pharisees permitted the matter²²⁵. When he entered, the Holy One, praise to Him, performed six wonders for him²²⁶. The first miracle: usually they would separate, but the angel glued the one to the other²²⁷. The second miracle: He directed the spear into her belly to that his penis should be seen inside her belly because of the fault-finders, lest they say that he muscled himself in with them and satisfied himself²²⁸. The third miracle: the angel closed their mouths, so they could not cry. The fourth miracle: they did not slip from the weapon but stayed in place. The fifth miracle: The angel lifted the lintel so that both of them were carried out between his shoulders. The sixth miracle: When the plague started to destroy the people, what did he do? He threw them on the ground and prayed. That is what is written: *Phineas stood and prayed; the plague was arrested*²²⁹ 106:30..

When Israel came to exact vengeance from Midian, they found there Bileam ben Beor. What did he do there? He came to collect his wages for the 24’000 of Israel who died at Shittim. Phineas told him, you followed neither your Creator nor Balaq. You did not follow your Creator, Who told you, do not go with Balaq’s emissaries, but you went. You did not follow Balaq who told you to come and curse Israel, but you blessed them. I also will not hold back your wages. That is what is written: *The Children of Israel slew Bileam ben Beor the sorcerer on top of their slain*²³⁰ 13:22. The masoretic text, as represented by the Aleppo and Leningrad codices, reads אל־חלליהן, not על־. One finds על־חלליהן in *Num.* 31:8, not referring to Bileam but to the five tribal heads of Midian which in *Num.* are titled “kings” but in *Jos.*“princes of Sihon”. *Jos.* describes the situation before the arrival of the Children of Israel, *Num.* the actual situation after the fall of Sihon. One may read the following explanations as a polemic against opinions like that of M. Noth (*Das Buch Josua, Tübingen* 1938, p. 50) that אל־חלליהן is a gloss, taken from *Num.* 31:8 and inserted in the wrong place.. What means *on their slain*? That he was as important as all their slain. Another explanation, *on their slain.* Just as their slain were irrelevant, so he was irrelevant. Another explanation, *on their slain.* He was flying over their corpses, but Phineas showed him the [High Priest’s] diadem and he fell down. Another explanation, *on their slain.* This teaches that Israel paid him his wages in full and did not hold back.

**Le Talmud de Jérusalem, traduit par Moise Schwab, 1878-1890 [fr]:**
Doëg was a man great in Torah. Israel came and asked David, does the showbread supersede the Sabbath²³¹ 21–22. Since it is stated in 21:7 that David was given showbread still hot when removed from the Tent of Meeting, it must have been on the Sabbath (*Lev.* 24:8). Since the High Priest earlier had indicated misgivings about giving him holy bread, he must have convinced the High Priest by learned arguments that what he asked for was permitted.? He told them, its arrangement supersedes the Sabbath, but neither its kneading nor its forming supersedes the Sabbath. Doëg was there and said, who is the one who comes to instruct in my presence²³² 1:2 (Note 94), *Ševiˋit* 6:1 (Notes 23–30).]? They told him, it is David ben Jesse. He went immediately and counseled Saul, the king of Israel, to kill the priests of Nob, the city of priests. This is what is written²³³. 22:17.: *The king said to the runners who stood by him, surround and kill the priests of the Eternal for they also are involved with David,* etc., up to *they did not inform me.* Who were they? Rebbi Samuel bat Rav Isaac said, they were Abner and Amasa. They told him, you have us indebted to you only for this belt²³⁴ and this כלינירין²³⁵ one should read כַלִינָרִין χαλινάριον “bridle”. Levy prefers to read כְלָנִידִין χλανίδιον “upper garment, blanket.” This fits better into the context. They tell the king that they do not need his salary.. Here they are torn for you. ²³³. 22:17.*The king’s servants did not want to kill the priests of the Eternal. The king said to Doyeg.* Rebbi Jehudah bar Pazi said, it is written *to Doyeg.* They told him, you are caught like a fish; you committed a great sin²³⁶. ²³⁷ 22:18. It is stated that Doeg slew 85 men wearing the *ephod,* a vestment by pentateuchal rules appropriate only for the High Priest.*Turn you and smite the priests of the Eternal. Doëg the Edomite turned and smote the priests,* etc. But did not Rebbi Ḥiyya state, “one does not appoint two High Priests together”? But this teaches that all of them were qualified for the High Priesthood. How was he removed²³⁸? Rebbi Ḥanina and Rebbi Joshua ben Levi: One said, fire came from the Holiest of Holies²³⁹. 21 makes it clear that there was a Holy Tent at Nob, even though the Ark was still at Qiryat Yearim. and burned around him. But the other said, competent students came to him, they were learning but he was forgetting²⁴⁰, to confirm what is written²⁴¹ 20:15.: *The property swallowed by him he throws up; God removes it from his belly.*

**Le Talmud de Jérusalem, traduit par Moise Schwab, 1878-1890 [fr]:**
Aḥitophel was a man great in Torah. It is written²⁴² 6:1. The verse is written in military language but does not appear in a military context.: *David again assembled all young men in Israel, 30’000.* Rebbi Berekhiah in the name of Rebbi Abba bar Cahana²⁴³ 4(21),12(25); *Midrash Samuel* 24(5).: Ninety thousand Elders did David ordain on one day, but he did not ordain Aḥitophel with them²⁴⁴. That is what is written: *David again assembled all young men in Israel, 30’000.* He added, 30’000. Again, 30’000, and the simple sense of the verse, 30’000; together 90’000. You find that at the moment when David came to carry the Ark of the Eternal’s Covenant, he did not carry it following the Torah²⁴⁸ 7:9.. *They moved the Ark of God’s Covenant on a new car*²⁴⁵. 6:3., etc. The Ark lifted the Cohanim up and tore them down to the ground; lifted the Cohanim up and tore them down to the ground. David sent and brought Aḥitophel. He told him, can you not tell me why the Ark lifted the Cohanim up and tore them down to the ground, lifted the Cohanim up and tore them down to the ground? He answered, send and ask all the wise men whom you ordained. David said, any man who knows how to put this in order but does not put it in order should end up strangled. He said something in front of it and it was steadied. That is what is written²⁴⁶. 6:13; *2 Chr.* 15:20. The two verses contradict one another.: *It was when the carriers of the Eternal’s Ark took six steps that he sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf*. Rebbi Ḥanina and Rebbi Mana, one said, for every step a bull and a fattened calf and at the end seven oxen and seven rams; but the other said, for every step seven oxen and seven rams and at the end a bull and a fattened calf²⁴⁷ 35b.. The Holy One, praise to Him, said to Aḥitophel: Something which the schoolchildren say every day in assembly you did not say to him: *to the Bene Qehat he did not give; for the service of the holy [vessels] is on them, they should carry on the shoulder*²⁴⁸ 7:9.. But so you told him. ²⁴⁹ 53a; hinted at *Makkot* 11a. Similarly you find that when David started to excavate the foundations²⁵⁰ 6:2 Note 17. of the Temple, he dug down fifteen hundred cubits and did not find the abyss. At the end he found a clay pot and wanted to lift it. It told him, you cannot lift me. We asked, why? It answered, because I am here suppressing the abyss. He asked it, since when are you here? It answered, from the Moment that the Merciful spoke on Sinai: *I am the Eternal, your God*²⁵¹. 20:2., the earth trembled and sank down, and I was put here to suppress the abyss²⁵² 3a, *Midrash Tehillim* 74 #4. The reference is to *Ps.*76:9: *The earth was fearful and quiet.* The earth was fearful because it was created on condition that Israel accept the Torah; when Israel accepted the Ten Commandments the earth became quiet since its continued existence was assured. The cover on the abyss sits on the waters of the Deluge (*Gen.*7:11).. Nevertheless, he did not listen to it; when he lifted it the abyss rose and threatened to flood the world. Aḥitophel was standing there. He said, now David will be strangled and I shall rule. David said, any Sage who knows how to put this in order but does not put it in order should end up strangled. He said what he said²⁵³ and it was steady. David started to sing *a song of ascent,* a song for a rise of 100 [cubits]. For each hundred cubits he composed a song. Nevertheless, he ended up strangled. Rebbi Yose said, that is what the proverb says, a person has to worry about the curse of a rabbi, even if it is for nothing²⁵⁴ Berakhot 56a, *Makkot* 11a.. Rebbi Jeremiah in the name of Rebbi Samuel bar Rav Isaac: The scroll which Samuel handed over to David, Aḥitophel composed it by the Holy Spirit²⁵⁵ 28:11).. What did Aḥitophel do? If anybody asked for his counsel in anything and he gave his advice, he said go and do such and such, and if you do not believe me ask the Urim and Tummim. He went, asked, and found it correct²⁵⁶ 3(4). (We do not find that the oracle could be used for anything but affairs of state.). That is what is written²⁵⁷. 16:23.: *The counsel of Aḥitophel which he gave in those days,* etc. *Man* is read but not written²⁵⁸ 37b.; the verses could not call him “a man.²⁵⁹ 3(4): “but an angel.””

How was he removed²³⁸? *When Aḥitophel saw that his counsel was not taken, he saddled his donkey*²⁶⁰ 17:23. He committed suicide; therefore his death could not scour off his sins, Note 29. A parallel to this paragraph is in the Babli, *Bava batra* 147a., etc. Three things did Aḥitophel command his sons: Do not rebel against the dynasty of David, since we find that the Holy One, praise to Him, shows them favor even when they acted brazenly²⁶¹. Do not have dealings with anybody who has a lucky streak²⁶². And if Pentecost was clear, sow wheat of the best quality²⁶³. But we do not know whether clear from dew or clear from *šarav*²⁶⁴..

²⁶⁶ Geḥazi was great in Torah, but three things were the matter with him: He was grudging, dissolute in sexual matters, and denied the Resurrection of the Dead. Grudging. When Elisha sat and formulated his teachings, Geḥazi sat outside the door. The students saw him and said, Geḥazi did not find room inside, could we find room inside? His²⁶⁷ statements were said without anybody profiting from them. Once he was removed, what is written there? *The prophecy students said to Elisha* (etc.,) *the place where we are sitting is too narrow for us*²⁶⁸. 6:1, the verse immediately following Gehazi’s dismissal..

²⁷⁰ 2:4 (Notes 81–85), *Lev. rabba*24(6). The text here seems to be original since only here (and *Lev. rabba*) the observation of R. Samuel bar Rav Isaac’s maid is given justification. Dissolute in sexual matters. For the woman of Shunem said to her husband: *Lo, I know that he is a holy man of God*²⁷¹4:9.. Rebbi Jonah said, he is holy, but his student is not holy. Rebbi Abun said, because he never looked at her. But the rabbis of Caesarea say, he never had an involuntary emission. The slave girl of Rebbi Samuel ben Rav Isaac said, I was washing my master’s garments. I never saw a bad thing on my master’s garments. It is written: *Geḥazi drew near to push her away*²⁷²4:27.. What is לְהָדְפָהּ? Rebbi Yose ben Ḥanina said, he put his hand on her beauty spot, between her breasts.

And denied the Resurrection of the Dead. You find that at the time when Elisha came to resurrect the Shunamite’s son, he told him²⁷³ 4:29.: *Take my support staff in your hand and go, and if you meet a man do not greet him, or if a person greets you do not answer him.* But he did not do that, but when a person met him and asked, from where and to where, Geḥazi? He told him, I am going to resurrect the dead. This one would tell him, only the Holy One, praise to Him, can resurrect the dead, as it is written²⁷⁴2:6.: *The Eternal kills and gives life, brings down to the pit and lifts up.* He went there and did not do anything. He returned to him and said to him, I know that if he really were dead, he would not wake up through you.

You find [written] when Naˋaman, the army commander of the king of Aram, came to him with his horses and his chariot. Rebbi Joḥanan said, it is written *with his horse*²⁷⁵ in all sources of *2K.*5:9.. He wanted to give him gold and silver, stolas and garments, precious stones and pearls, but he did not accept. That is what is written²⁷⁶ 5:16.: *He insisted that he take, but he refused.* Geḥazi came and said, *by the living Eternal, if I would run after him and take anything from him*²⁷⁷.5:20; *Num. rabba* 7(6). The invocation of the Name in a dishonest enterprise is blasphemy.. “A defect” is written²⁷⁸ מומה “its defect” for *Qere*מְאוּמָה “anything” is not in Eastern (Aleppo and Peterburg) codices but it is an old Ashkenazic (Rashi *ad loc.*) and Provençal [*Num. rabba* 7(6)] tradition; cf. Y.S.R. Norzi, מנחת שי *ad loc.*. He went, met him, took what he took, and hid it in his upper storey. He came to Elisha, who asked him, *from where* to where, *Geḥazi*? You refused the reward of the just²⁷⁹! He answered²⁸⁰.5:23–24. In v. 24, Gehazi’s skin disease is declared hereditary., *your servant did not go here or there. But he said, did not my thoughts go when a man turned from his carriage towards you; is it time* to take silver and gold; is it time to take precious stones and pearls? Therefore, *Naˋaman’s skin disease shall cling to you.* It is written²⁸¹.7:3.: *Four men afflicted with skin disease were at the door of the gate.* Who were they? Rebbi²⁸² Jehudah.

It is written²⁸³ 8:7.: *Elisha came to Damascus when Ben-Hadad the king of Aram was sick.* What did he come to do there? He went to bring back Geḥazi but found him absolutely impure²⁸⁴13:1–46) define two stages of the diagnosis. In the first one, the sufferer is quarantined (מֻסְגָּר). If he be found pure, a simple immersion in water will make him ritually pure. But if he was found impure after quarantine, he is *absolutely impure* and can regain purity only by the elaborate ceremony described in *Lev.* 14. For an inhabitant of the Northern kingdom, this would present almost insurmountable difficulties. (Naˋaman as a Gentile did not need any ceremony.) Elisha is faulted for not helping Gehazi to repent and regain his purity.. From here that one should push away with one’s left hand but bring back close with one’s right. Rebbi Joḥanan said, *the stranger should not stay outside overnight; my doors I opened for the guest*²⁸⁵ 31:32.. From here that one should push away with one’s left hand but bring back close with one’s right. Not as Elisha did who pushed Geḥazi away with both hands. Elisha was sick with two sicknesses²⁸⁶ 13:14 it is mentioned that Elisha fell ill “with the sickness which would cause his death”. This implies that it was not his only sickness; he must have been sick at least twice.. One in the ways of the world, and one because he pushed Geḥazi away.

²⁸⁷ 14(1). Rebbi Ḥanania and Rebbi Joshua ben Levi: at the time when they voted and said that three kings and four private persons had no part in the Future World, there came a disembodied voice and said²⁸⁸ 34:33., *does it pay for you that you oppose, that you choose, not I, and what can you say*²⁸⁹? They wanted to include Solomon with them²⁹⁰. David came and bowed down before them, but some say that fire came out of the Holiest of Holies and flared around them. Hadar IIla was used to be answered when he prayed. From the time he voted with them he prayed but was not answered. The interpreters of hints say, all of them have part in the Future World. What is the reason? *Mine is Gilead, mine is Manasse, Ephraim my main fortress, Jehudah is my scepter, Moab my washing trough, at Edom I shall throw my shoe*²⁹¹ 60:9–10, 108:9–10.*. Mine is Gilead,* that is Ahab, king of Israel, who fell at Ramot Gilead. *Mine is Manasse,* its plain meaning. *Ephraim my main fortress,* that is Jeroboam ben Nevat the Ephraimite. *Jehudah is my scepter,* that is Aḥitophel. *Moab my washing trough,* that is Geḥazi²⁹². *At Edom I shall throw my shoe,* that is Doëg the Edomite. Israel said before the Holy One, praise to Him: Master of all Worlds, what can we do if David, King of Israel, cursed them? *Men of blood and deceit shall not live to half of their days*²⁹³ 55:24. In the Babli, 69b, 106b, the verse is read as meaning that Doëg and Ahitophel did not live to age 35.! He told them, it is up to Me to make them friends one to the other. *For me Peleshet is friendly; to me Peleshet makes friends*²⁹⁴; it is up to Me to lead them to good deeds and to make them friends one to the other.

³⁰¹26(6),28(3). It was stated: Rebbi Neḥemiah says, one understands it from what was said²⁹⁶ 6:3. *My Spirit shall not judge man forever.* Rebbi Jehudah says, *My Spirit shall not judge him,* for I shall not give My Spirit into them when I shall give My Spirit into people³⁰². Rebbi Simeon says, *My Spirit shall not judge him,* for I shall not give My Spirit into them when I shall distribute the rewards of the just. Others say, *My Spirit shall not judge him*, I shall not bring it back into its sheath³⁰³. Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said, mainly their³⁰⁴ scalding was parboiling. What is the reason? *At the time when they were scalded they shrank; in its heat they disappear from their place*³⁰⁵6:17.. What is *in its heat*? In their boiling. Rebbi Joḥanan said, every single drop which the Holy One, praise to Him, rained on them, He brought to a boil in Hell and rained it on them³⁰⁶ 28(9) [M. Sokoloff, *The Geniza Fragments of Bereshit Rabba*(Jerusalem 1982) p. 120].. That is what is written, *in its heat they disappear from their place.* Jehudah ben Rebbi Ḥizqiah and Rebbi³⁰⁷2:10, the Babli, *Šabbat* 33b, and *Thr. rabba*1(42), the statement is anonymous. In *Gen. rabba* 28(7) it is attributed to R. Johanan, a student of Hizqiah.
The statement is the basis of the rule that prayers for deceased parents may be said only for 11 months, so as not to declare one’s parents as evildoers. said, the Holy One, praise to Him, judges the evildoers in Hell for twelve months. First He brings the itch on them; then He brings them into fire and they say woe, woe; after that He brings them into snow and they say wai, wai. What is the reason? *He brought me up from the noisy pit, from miry mud*³⁰⁸ 40:3.. What is *from* יָוֶן *mud*? From a place where one says woe. Why could they not receive their punishment³⁰⁹ and then take part in the World to Come? Because *the scoffer will not hear rebuke*³¹⁰.

³¹¹“The people of Sodom have no part in the World to Come,” and they will not see the future. What is the reason? *The people of Sodom were very evil and sinful against the Eternal*³¹² 13:13.*. Evil and sinful* in this world, *against the Eternal very much* in the future. ³¹³ 41(10). Another explanation. *Evil* against one another, *and sinful* in incest and adultery, *against the Eternal* in foreign worship, *very much* in spilling blood.

**MISHNAH:** The generation of the desert has no part in the World to Come, as it is said³¹⁴ 14:35. The argument in the longer text of the Mishnah in the Babli is reproduced here at the start of the Halakhah. In all these cases, the double emphasis in the verse is interpreted that the first expression refers to this world, the second to the World to Come.: *in this desert they shall be terminated and there they will die,* the words of Rebbi Aqiba. Rebbi Eliezer says, about them it says³¹⁵ 50:5., *assemble for Me My lovely ones, who sealed My Covenant by a sacrifice*³¹⁶ 24:1–9 guaranteed their eternal life. Since R. Aqiba war R. Eliezer’s student, the inversion of the chronological order clearly indicates that the latter’s opinion is accepted as practice..
The band of Korah will not be resurrected in the future, as it is said³¹⁷ 16:33. *the earth covered them; they were lost from among the congregation,* the words of Rebbi Aqiba. Rebbi Eliezer says, about them it says⁹³. 2:6. She was married to a descendant of Korah’s (*2 Chr*. 6:18–23)., *the Eternal kills and brings to life, He sends down into the pit and raises up.*

**Le Talmud de Jérusalem, traduit par Moise Schwab, 1878-1890 [fr]:**
³³¹9:4, Note 79. It was implied already in Halakhah 1 that Gentiles may have part in the World to Come.
A parallel, in slightly different order, is in *Megillah* 1:13. For the first sentence, cf. *Lev. rabba* 3(20), *Midrash Ps.* 22(29). Rebbi Ḥizqiah, Rebbi Abbahu in the name of Rebbi Eleazar: When in the Future World the proselytes come, Antoninus comes at the head of all of them. How do you understand this? Since they saw him walking with a slight shoe on the Day of Atonement³³², what do you infer since even God-fearing people go outside thus. There is information that Antoninus did not become a proselyte, and there is information that Antoninus did become a proselyte. Antoninus came to Rebbi and asked him, can you see me eating from the Leviathan³³³ 22(7), Babli *Bava batra*74b–75a. in the World to Come? He said, yes. He told him, from the Passover lamb you would not let me eat, but from Leviathan you make me eat in the World to Come? He answered, what can we do for you since about the Passover lamb it is written that *no uncircumcised man may eat from it*³³⁴ 12:48.. This implies that Antoninus did not become a proselyte. When he heard this, he went and became a proselyte. He came to Rebbi and said to him, look at my circumcision. He answered him, at mine I never looked³³⁵ 1:13 (72b l.57, 3:3 74a l.39); *Avodah zarah* 3:1 (42c l.5); Babli *Šabbat* 118b, *Pesahim* 104a; the text here is copied by Tosaphot *Ketubot*30a *s.v*. הכל., and at yours I should look? This implies that Antoninus became a proselyte. Why is he called our holy teacher? Because he never in his life looked at his circumcision. And why is his name Naḥum the holiest of holies³³⁶? Because he never in his life looked at the figure on a coin. Antoninus came to Rebbi; he said to him, pray for me. He said to him, may He save you from the cold, as it is written³³⁷ 147:17., *who can withstand His cold*? He said, is that not a superfluous prayer? You cover yourself with an outer garment and the cold will go away. He said to him, may He save you from the hot wind that comes into the world. He said, that is a prayer; may your prayer be heard, as it is written³³⁸ 19:7., *nothing is hidden from His heat.*

footnotes:
³³¹ It is difficult to understand why this digression about a crypto-Jewish Roman emperor was inserted here. It is futile to try to determine to whom one refers; cf. Kilaim
³³² The wearing of leather shoes is forbidden on the Day of Atonement (except where it is necessary, as when walking on muddy streets.) That Antoninus did not wear leather shoes on the Day of Atonement is no proof that he became a proselyte since many “God-fearing people”, Gentiles known as “Friends of the Synagogue”, do the same.
³³³ The just feasting on Leviathan meat in the World to Come are also mentioned in Lev. rabba
³³⁴ Ex.
³³⁵ It is indecent to look at sexual organs. References to this insert are Megillah
³³⁶ An otherwise unknown personality.

Rebbi Eleazar and Rebbi Jehudah. One said, they were exiles only when they were uncircumcised³⁴¹. The other said, they were exiled only when they were bastards. He who says uncircumcised, for circumcision and commandments³⁴². But he who says bastards, from their fathers³⁴³. Rebbi Joḥanan said, Israel was exiled only after they formed 24 heretical sects. What is the reason? *Son of man, I am sending you to the Children of Israel, to rebellious peoples who rebelled against Me*³⁴⁴ 2:3.. It is not written “to a rebellious people” but *to rebellious peoples who rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have acted criminally against Me up to this day.* Rebbi Berekhia and Rebbi Ḥelbo in the name of Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman. Israel was exiled to three diasporas³⁴⁵ 35:11), the plural implies that it counts for at least two, for a total of at least 24. Possibly this is a take-off on the multiplicity of Christian sects.: one inside the river Sanbation³⁴⁶ XXXI,2; *Sanhedrin* 65b; *Gen. rabba* 11(6),73(5); *Pesiqta rabbati* 23 [ed. Ish-Shalom Note 79]., one to Daphne of Antiochia³⁴⁷, and one on whom the Cloud³⁴⁸14:19) and Temple (*1K.* 8:10–11). descended and covered them. Just as they were exiled to three diasporas, so the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasse were exiled into three diasporas. What is the reason? *You went in the way of your sister and I gave her cup into your hand*³⁴⁹. 23:31.. So when they return, they will return from three diasporas. What is the reason? ³⁵⁰ 49:9.*To tell the prisoners, leave,* those who were exiled inside the river Sanbation; *those in darkness, become visible,* those upon whom the Cloud descended and covered them; *on the roads they are grazing and on all plains is their pasturage,* those who were exiled to Daphne of Antiochia.

footnotes:
³⁴¹ After a digression, one returns to the Ten Tribes.
³⁴² The question is whether people suspected of being descendants of the Ten Tribes, who did not join in the return of Judeans and who clearly will not follow rabbinic rules for marriage and divorce, can be allowed to marry rabbinic Jewish partners. The first opinion states that while they cannot be expected to follow biblical commandments, they are eligible as marriage partners once their Israelite identity is ascertained or they undergo regular conversion (even if this is intrinsically futile for descendants of Jews in the female line.)
³⁴³ In this opinion, all descendants of the Ten Tribes are barred from marrying Jewish partners other than bastards or proselytes.

**MISHNAH:** The people of a seduced town³⁵¹ have no part in the World to Come, as it is said³⁵² 13:14.: *Useless men*³⁵³*left your midst*³⁵⁴*and seduced the inhabitants of their town as follows.* Therefore they cannot be executed unless the seducers be from that town and from that tribe, unless the majority was seduced, unless the seducers were men. If women or minors seduced them, or if a minority were seduced, they are single individuals³⁵⁵ and need two witnesses and warning for each single one. This is more stringent for individuals than for the multitude since individuals are stoned, therefore their money escapes³⁵⁶ while the multitude is executed by the sword, therefore their money is lost³⁵⁷ 13:17–18..

**HALAKHAH:** “The people of a seduced town,” etc. A town but not a village, a town but not a fortified place³⁵⁸. This means, from five to ten³⁵⁹, the words of Rebbi Meïr; Rebbi Jehudah says, from one hundred up to a majority of the tribe. If two seduced two, is it possible to try the two who had seduced two both as seducers and as seduced³⁶⁰ are mentioned in the verse, the seducers, to be stoned, cannot be less than two. On the other hand, if they did seduce only a few people and the majority was seduced by others, they are not seducers of the עִיר and may be tried as inhabitants, to be decapitated.? If there were proselytes and residents³⁶¹, are they counted for the majority? If there were menageries³⁶² for wild animals, birds, or fish³⁶³; birds flying higher than ten [handbreadths]³⁶⁴, what are the rules³⁶⁵?

footnotes:
³⁵⁸ As noted in the dictionaries, both the etymology and the exact meaning of עִיר are unknown. For R. Meïr, עִיר is a village and כְּפָר a hamlet; this is the usual meaning of the words in the Babli. For R. Jehudah, עִיר is any larger settlement. In the Babli, 15b, this is a dispute between authorities of the generation between Tannaïm and Amoraïm. The opinion of R. Jehudah here is adopted there by R. Jonathan while R. Yoshia defines עִיר as a settlement of between 10 and 100 households.
³⁵⁹ Households.
³⁶⁰ Since men
³⁶¹ Resident Gentiles.
³⁶² Latin vivarium, -ii, n.
³⁶³ These are not domesticated animals; the question is whether they have to be destroyed as property.
³⁶⁴ The airspace above ten handbreadths is a separate domain. This is important mainly for the rules of the Sabbath but is noted also in property cases.
³⁶⁵ Since (Tosephta 14:1) the case of the seduced city never arose and never will arise, no answers are required.

**MISHNAH:** *Slaying you shall slay the inhabitants of that town by the sword*³⁶⁷ 13:16.. A caravan of donkeys or of camels which passes from place to place saves them³⁶⁸ 94 that if at the moment of judgment there are people in town to whom the judgment does not apply, it cannot be executed since the verse requires that only the inhabitants of *that* town be killed.. *Destroy it and all which is in it, including its domestic animals*³⁶⁹,*by the sword.* From here they said, the properties of just people in its midst are lost, what is outside escapes; that of evildoers both inside and outside is lost.

footnotes:
³⁶⁷ Deut.
³⁶⁸ The Yerushalmi gives no indication as to what this means. The Babli (112a) holds that temporary residents after 30 days become voting citizens of the town; if they do not follow the permanent inhabitants into apostasy, they will deprive the apostates of a majority and the rules of the seduced town cannot be applied. But it might be that the Yerushalmi follows Sifry Deut.

The disposal of Heaven’s property is discussed in Mishnah 9. Babli 112b.. Rebbi Yose ben Ḥanina asked: What is the status of hair of its just women³⁷²? Let us hear from the following: Rebbi Simeon says, *its domesticated animal,* not first born or tithes found there; *its booty,* not Temple money or Second Tithe found there. The *sancta* of a seduced town³⁷³5:14–16)., Rebbi Joḥanan said, one cannot commit larceny with them; Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, one can commit larceny with them. Rebbi Joḥanan objected to Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: According to your opinion that one can commit larceny with them, should one not state that “six purification offerings are left to die”³⁷⁴ 4:1 enumerates 5 kinds of purification offerings which can neither be redeemed nor sacrificed. An animal dedicated by an idolator of a seduced town should be added as sixth kind. Babli 112a.? He answered, because in this case even an elevation offering dies³⁷⁵ 4:1 only treats cases particular to purification offerings.. Rebbi Hila in the name of Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: One can commit larceny with them because of *sancta* of an apostate. Should they not be sacrificed? Because of *the sacrifice of an evildoer is an abomination*³⁷⁶ 21:27. The Babli, *Hulin* 5a, finds the same result in *Lev.* 1:2.. Rebbi Uqba said, also in the following they disagree: ³⁷⁷ 4:9, Notes 122–125 If a bull was led out to be stoned when its witnesses were found to be perjured, Rebbi Joḥanan said, the first to come acquires it; Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, it was false despair.

כָּתוּב בְּיָמָיו בָּנָה חִיאֵל בֵּית הָאֱלִי אֶת יְרִיחוֹ. חִיאֵל מִן דִּיְהוֹשָׁפָט. יְרִיחוֹ מִן דְּבִנְיָמִין. אֶלָּא מְלַמֵּד שֶׁמְגַלְגְּלִין אֶת הַחוֹבָה עַל יְדֵי חַיָיב. וְכֵן הוּא אוֹמֵר בַּאֲבִירָם בְּכוֹרוֹ יִסְּדָהּ וּבִשְׂגוּב צְעִירוֹ. [בַּאֲבִירָם בְּכוֹרוֹ לֹא הָיָה לֹו מְאַיִן לְלַמֵּד. וּבִשְׂגוּב] הָרָשָׁע הָיָה לֹו מְאַיִין לְלַמֵּד. לְפִי שֶׁרָצוּ לְרַבּוֹת אֶת מָמוֹנָן נִשְׁלְטָה בָהֶן מְאֵירָה וְהָיוּ מִתְמוֹטְטִין וְהוֹלְכִין. לְקַיֵים מַה שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר כִּדְבַר יְי אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר בְּיַד יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בִּן נוּן.

³⁸² It is written¹⁴³ 16:34; cf. Babli 113a, Tosephta 14:6–9.: *In his days did Ḥiel from Bet-El build Jericho.* Ḥiel is from the descendants of Josaphat, Jericho is in the territory of Benjamin. Only that bad deeds are put in the hands of the unworthy; therefore, it is said, *with his first-born Aviram he set the foundation and with his youngest son Seguv he put in the doors.* [If it was not appropriate for him to learn from his firstborn Aviram, should he not have learned from]³⁸³ the wicked Seguv? Because they wanted to make more money, the curse ruled over them and they were continuously weakened to confirm what was said¹⁴³ 16:34; cf. Babli 113a, Tosephta 14:6–9., *following* *the word of the Eternal, the God of Israel, which He had spoken though Joshua ben Nun.*

כָּלִיל לַיהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ. וְלֹא יִדְבַּק בְּיָדְךָ. תַּנֵּי. רִבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן אֶלְעָזָר אוּמֵר. וְלֹא אוֹתָהּ בָּנוּ אֶלָּא עִיר אֲחֶרֶת בָּנוּ. מֵאַחַר שֶׁהִיא נִבְנֵית מוּתָּר אַתְּ לֵישֵׁב בָּהּ. רִבִּי יוֹסֵי וְרִבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן קָרְחָה אוֹמְרִים. מַה תַלְמוּד לוֹמַר וּבָנָה אֶת הָעִיר הַזֹּאת אֶת יְרִיחוֹ. אֶלָּא שֶׁלֹּא יִבְנֶה עִיר אֲחֶרֶת וְיִקְרָא שְׁמָהּ יְרִיחוּ. יְרִיחוֹ וְיִקְרָא שְׁמָהּ עִיר אֲחֶרֶת. וְכֵן הוּא אוֹמֵר. לֹא תוֹסִיפוּן לָשׁוּב בַּדֶּרֶךְ הַזֶּה עוֹד. לִישִׁיבָה אֵין אַתְּ חוֹזֵר. חוֹזֵר אַתְּ לִסְחוֹרָה וְלִפְרַקְמַטֵיָא וְלִכְבּוֹשׁ אֶת הָאָרֶץ.

**Le Talmud de Jérusalem, traduit par Moise Schwab, 1878-1890 [fr]:**
*Totally, for the Eternal. your God. Nothing of what should be destroyed shall stick to your hands.* It was stated³⁸⁴: Rebbi Simeon ben Eleazar says, they did not rebuild it but built another town. After it was built, you are permitted to dwell there³⁸⁵2:5.. Rebbi Yose³⁸⁶ and Rebbi Joshua ben Qorḥa say, why does the verse say¹⁴³ 16:34; cf. Babli 113a, Tosephta 14:6–9., *who would build this town, Jericho*? That one may not build another town and call it Jericho, or Jericho and call it another town. And so He says³⁸⁷ 17:16., *you shall not continue to return on this way,* you may not return for dwelling; you may return for peddling, business³⁸⁸, or to conquer the land³⁸⁹.

³⁸⁹ The verse prohibits return to Egypt to procure war materiel. It seems that the inference is based on a derivation of the word לָשׁ֛וּב not from the root שוב but from ישב.
