נַחֲלָה זוֹ שִׁילֹה, ״מְנוּחָה״ זוֹ יְרוּשָׁלִַם, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (תהלים קלב יד): ״זֹאת מְנוּחָתִי עֲדֵי עַד״. דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: חִלּוּף הֵם הַדְּבָרִים.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"to the rest and to the inheritance": "the inheritance": This is Shiloh; "the rest": This is Jerusalem, as it is written (Psalms 132:14) "This is My resting place forever. Here will I dwell, for I desire her." These are the words of R. Shimon. R. Yehudah says: Reverse it, it being written (Jeremiah 12:8-9) "My inheritance (Jerusalem) has become to Me like a lion in the forest … Like a bird of prey has My inheritance become to Me."
