###### Nazir 66b:1
[Nazir 66b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/66b:1)

חֲטוֹף וּבָרֵיךְ. וְכֵן אֲמַר לֵיהּ רַב הוּנָא לְרַבָּה בְּרֵיהּ: חֲטוֹף וּבָרֵיךְ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Seize** the opportunity **and** quickly **recite a blessing** over the cup of blessing for the Grace after Meals. **And similarly, Rav Huna said to his son, Rabba: Seize** the opportunity **and recite a blessing.**


###### Nazir 66b:2
[Nazir 66b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/66b:2)

לְמֵימְרָא דִּמְבָרֵךְ עֲדִיף? וְהָתַנְיָא, רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר: גָּדוֹל הָעוֹנֶה ״אָמֵן״ יוֹתֵר מִן הַמְבָרֵךְ. וְאָמַר לוֹ רַבִּי נְהוֹרַאי: הַשָּׁמַיִם! כָּךְ הוּא: תֵּדַע שֶׁהֲרֵי גּוּלְיָירִים מִתְגָּרִין בַּמִּלְחָמָה, וְגִבּוֹרִים נוֹצְחִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **Is this to say that one who recites a blessing is preferable** to one who answers amen? **But isn’t it taught** in a *baraita* that **Rabbi Yosei says: The one who answers amen is greater than the one who recites the blessing? And Rabbi Nehorai said to him: By Heavens, it is so. Know** that this is true, **as the military assistants [*gulyarim*]** descend to the battlefield and **initiate the war and the mighty** follow them and **prevail.** The amen that follows a blessing is compared to the mighty who join the war after the assistants, illustrating that answering amen is more significant than reciting the initial blessing.

[Nazir 66b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/66b:3)

תַּנָּאֵי הִיא, דְּתַנְיָא: אֶחָד הַמְבָרֵךְ וְאֶחָד הָעוֹנֶה ״אָמֵן״ בַּמַּשְׁמָע, אֶלָּא שֶׁמְּמַהֲרִין לַמְבָרֵךְ תְּחִילָּה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara responds: This **is** a dispute between ***tanna’im*, as it is taught** in a *baraita*: **Both the one who recites a blessing and the one who answers amen are included** among those who “stand up and bless” (Nehemiah 9:5), **but one hurries to first** reward **the one who recites the blessing.** This *baraita* apparently holds that reciting the blessing is greater than answering amen.


###### Nazir 66b:4
[Nazir 66b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/66b:4)

אָמַר רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר אָמַר רַבִּי חֲנִינָא: תַּלְמִידֵי חֲכָמִים מַרְבִּים שָׁלוֹם בָּעוֹלָם, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״וְכׇל בָּנַיִךְ לִמּוּדֵי ה׳ וְרַב שְׁלוֹם בָּנָיִךְ״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Elazar said** that **Rabbi Ḥanina said: Torah scholars increase peace in the world, as it is stated: “And all your children [*banayikh*] shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children”** (Isaiah 54:13). The Sages interpreted this verse homiletically: Do not read it as: “Your children [*banayikh*],” but as: Your builders [*bonayikh*]. Torah scholars are those who build peace for their generation.
