###### Pesachim 119a:1
[Pesachim 119a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/119a:1)

זֶה הַמַּכִּיר מְקוֹם חֲבֵירוֹ בַּיְּשִׁיבָה. אִיכָּא דְאָמְרִי, אָמַר רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר: זֶה הַמְקַבֵּל פְּנֵי חֲבֵירוֹ בַּיְּשִׁיבָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**This is one who recognizes his colleague’s place in the yeshiva,** as he is there often enough to know where everyone sits. **Some say** that **Rabbi Elazar said** a different explanation: **This is** one **who greets his colleague in the yeshiva,** as he is always there to meet him.


###### Pesachim 119a:2
[Pesachim 119a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/119a:2)

מַאי ״לִמְכַסֶּה עָתִיק״ — זֶה הַמְכַסֶּה דְּבָרִים שֶׁכִּיסָּה עַתִּיק יוֹמִין, וּמַאי נִינְהוּ? סִתְרֵי תוֹרָה. וְאִיכָּא דְּאָמְרִי: זֶה הַמְגַלֶּה דְּבָרִים שֶׁכִּיסָּה עַתִּיק יוֹמִין, מַאי נִינְהוּ? טַעֲמֵי תוֹרָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **What** is the meaning of the continuation of this verse: **“For stately clothing [*limekhaseh atik*]” This is** one **who conceals [*mekhaseh*]** matters **that the Ancient of Days [*atik yomin*],** i.e., God, **concealed. And what are these?** These are **the secrets of the Torah,** the esoteric Act of Creation and the Act of the Divine Chariot, which should remain hidden. **And some say: This** verse is referring to one **who reveals matters that the Ancient of Days concealed. And what are these?** These are the **reasons** for different mitzvot in the **Torah,** which should be kept secret.


###### Pesachim 119a:3
[Pesachim 119a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/119a:3)

אָמַר רַב כָּהֲנָא מִשּׁוּם רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל בְּרַבִּי יוֹסֵי, מַאי דִּכְתִיב: ״לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד״ — זַמְּרוּ לְמִי שֶׁנּוֹצְחִין אוֹתוֹ וְשָׂמֵחַ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara cites another statement attributed to Rabbi Yishmael, son of Rabbi Yosei. **Rav Kahana said, citing Rabbi Yishmael, son of Rabbi Yosei: What is** the meaning of that **which is written: “*Lamenatzeaḥ* a psalm of David”** (e.g., Psalms 13:1)? It means: **Sing to the One who rejoices when conquered [*shenotzḥin oto*].**


###### Pesachim 119a:4
[Pesachim 119a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/119a:4)

בֹּא וּרְאֵה שֶׁלֹּא כְּמִדַּת הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא מִדַּת בָּשָׂר וָדָם. בָּשָׂר וָדָם — מְנַצְּחִין אוֹתוֹ וְעָצֵב, אֲבָל הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא — נוֹצְחִין אוֹתוֹ וְשָׂמֵחַ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״וַיֹּאמֶר לְהַשְׁמִידָם לוּלֵי מֹשֶׁה בְחִירוֹ עָמַד בַּפֶּרֶץ לְפָנָיו״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Come and see how the characteristics of the Holy One, Blessed be He, are unlike the characteristics of flesh and blood: When a flesh and blood** person **is conquered, he is sad; however, when the Holy One, Blessed be He, is conquered, He rejoices, as it is stated: “Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had not Moses His chosen stood before Him in the breach,** to turn back His wrath lest He should destroy them” (Psalms 106:23). In this verse Moses is called “His chosen,” although he defeated God, as it were, by preventing Him from destroying the Jewish people.


###### Pesachim 119a:5
[Pesachim 119a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/119a:5)

אָמַר רַב כָּהֲנָא מִשּׁוּם רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל בְּרַבִּי יוֹסֵי אָמַר רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ מִשּׁוּם רַבִּי יְהוּדָה נְשִׂיאָה: מַאי דִּכְתִיב: ״וִידֵי אָדָם מִתַּחַת כַּנְפֵיהֶם״, ״יָדוֹ״ כְּתִיב — זֶה יָדוֹ שֶׁל הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא שֶׁפְּרוּסָה תַּחַת כַּנְפֵי הַחַיּוֹת כְּדֵי לְקַבֵּל בַּעֲלֵי תְשׁוּבָה מִיַּד מִדַּת הַדִּין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Furthermore, **Rav Kahana said, citing Rabbi Yishmael, son of Rabbi Yosei,** who said that **Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish said, citing Rabbi Yehuda Nesia: What is** the meaning of that **which is written** in the description of the sacred *ḥayyot*, the angels that carried the Divine chariot: **“And they had the hands of a man under their wings”** (Ezekiel 1:8)? Although the word is read hands in the plural, actually **“his hand” is written** in the singular. **This is the hand of the Holy One, Blessed be He, that is spread under the wings of the *ḥayyot* to accept penitents from** the claims of **the attribute of justice.** God accepts sincere penitents, despite the fact that in accordance with the strict attribute of justice they should not be given the opportunity to repent.


###### Pesachim 119a:6
[Pesachim 119a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/119a:6)

אָמַר רַב יְהוּדָה אָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל: כׇּל כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב שֶׁבָּעוֹלָם יוֹסֵף לִקְּטוֹ וֶהֱבִיאוֹ לְמִצְרַיִם, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״וַיְלַקֵּט יוֹסֵף אֶת כׇּל הַכֶּסֶף הַנִּמְצָא״. אֵין לִי אֶלָּא שֶׁבְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם וְשֶׁבְּאֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן, בִּשְׁאָר אֲרָצוֹת מִנַּיִן? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: ״וְכׇל הָאָרֶץ בָּאוּ מִצְרַיְמָה״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Yehuda said** that **Shmuel said: Joseph collected all the silver and gold in the world and brought it to Egypt, as it is stated: “And Joseph collected all the money found** in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan” (Genesis 47:14). **I have** derived **only** that he collected the money **that** was **in the land of Egypt and that** was **in the Land of Canaan. From where** do I derive that he also collected all the money **that** was **in other lands? The verse states “And all the land came to Egypt** to buy food from Joseph, because the famine was sore in all the earth” (Genesis 41:57).


###### Pesachim 119a:7
[Pesachim 119a:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/119a:7)

וּכְשֶׁעָלוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרַיִם הֶעֱלוּהוּ עִמָּהֶן, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״וַיְנַצְּלוּ אֶת מִצְרָיִם״, רַב אַסִּי אָמַר: עֲשָׂאוּהָ כִּמְצוּדָה זוֹ שֶׁאֵין בָּהּ דָּגָן, רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אָמַר: כִּמְצוּלָה שֶׁאֵין בָּהּ דָּגִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And when the Jewish people ascended from Egypt they took** this treasure **with them, as it is stated: “They despoiled [*vayenatzlu*] Egypt”** (Exodus 12:36). The Sages explain this term. **Rav Asi said: They made** Egypt **like this trap [*metzuda*]** for birds, where grain is usually placed as bait, **in which there is no grain. Rabbi Shimon said:** They made Egypt **like the depths [*kimetzula*]** of the sea **in which there are no fish.**


###### Pesachim 119a:8
[Pesachim 119a:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/119a:8)

וְהָיָה מוּנָּח עַד רְחַבְעָם. בָּא שִׁישַׁק מֶלֶךְ מִצְרַיִם וּנְטָלוֹ מֵרְחַבְעָם, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״וַיְהִי בַּשָּׁנָה הַחֲמִישִׁית לַמֶּלֶךְ רְחַבְעָם עָלָה שִׁישַׁק מֶלֶךְ מִצְרַיִם [עַל יְרוּשָׁלִַים] וַיִּקַּח אֶת אוֹצְרוֹת בֵּית ה׳ וְאֶת אוֹצְרוֹת בֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ״. בָּא זֶרַח מֶלֶךְ כּוּשׁ וּנְטָלוֹ מִשִּׁישַׁק.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And** this treasure **remained** in Eretz Yisrael **until** the time of **Rehoboam,** at which point **Shishak, king of Egypt, came and took it from Rehoboam, as it is stated: “And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem. And he took the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king’s house;** and he took away all” (I Kings 14:25–26). **Zerah, king of Kush,** who ruled over Egypt, later **came and took it from Shishak.**

בָּא סַנְחֵרִיב וּנְטָלוֹ מֵאָחָז. בָּא חִזְקִיָּה וּנְטָלוֹ מִסַּנְחֵרִיב וְהָיָה מוּנָּח עַד צִדְקִיָּה. בָּאוּ כַּשְׂדִּיִּים וּנְטָלוּהוּ מִצִּדְקִיָּה. בָּאוּ פָּרְסִיִּים וּנְטָלוּהוּ מִכַּשְׂדִּיִּים. בָּאוּ יְוָונִים וּנְטָלוּהוּ מִפָּרְסִיִּים. בָּאוּ רוֹמִיִּים וּנְטָלוּהוּ מִיַּד יְוָונִים, וַעֲדַיִין מוּנָּח בְּרוֹמִי.
