    The Elders say (Deut. 21:7), "Our hands did not spill this blood, and our eyes did not see." The priests say (Deut. 21:8), "Absolve Your people Israel that You redeemed, O God, etc." And the Holy Spirit says, "And they shall be absolved of the blood." Three mautters [are uttered]ances, [and] whoever said this one did not say that one. Similarly, you could say [that in connection with the spies' report] (Num. 13:27-28), "We came to the land where you sent us," said Joshua; Caleb said; "Let us go up and possess it"; the [other] spies said, "However, powerful are the people settled in the land." Three mautterances, this one next to that one, [and] whoever said this one did not say that one.next to that, [and] whoever said this did not say that. Similarly, you could say [regarding the matter of Judah and Tamar] (Gen. 38:25-26), "And she said, 'Pray recognize, to whom does this seal [and these cords and this staff] belong?,'" said Tamar; "She is more righteous than I," said Judah; and the Holy Spirit says, "And he did not know her again." Three [utterances], this next to that, [and] whoever said this did not say that, and whoever said that did not say the other. Similarly, you could say [regarding the battle of Shiloh] (I Sam. 4:8-9), "Woe to us! Who will save us from the hand of this mighty God?" said the righteous among them; the evil ones among them said, "These are the gods who struck [the Egyptians]."

    "Until his days the hammer would strike in Jerusalem" -- on the intermediate days of a Festival. He even decreed regarding the confession [of tithes] and abolished demai (doubtfully tithed produce).<sup>*</sup><i class="footnote">alt., "He even <i>abolished</i> the confession [of tithes] and <i>decreed regarding</i> demai" (see Minchat Yitzchak here)</i> For he sent [emissaries] to all the towns of Israel, and they found that [the people] were only separating great terumah (i.e., the priestly portion of untithed produce). First tithe and second tithe -- some of them separated and some of them did not separate. Yochanan the High Priest said to them, since [failure to separate] terumah is a sin punishable by death, and [failure to separate] terumah of tithes is a sin punishable by death, a person will designate terumah and terumah of tithes, and give it to a priest, and will exchange second tithe for money, and as to the remaining tithes and poor tithes, the burden of proof will rest on the claimant.

    There are those who go out and return, who go out and do not return, and there are those who do not go out at all. All those about whom they said "They go out and return," they pay city taxes, and they provide water and food for the battle, and they repair the roads. All the rest are those who do not return. All those about whom they said "They do not go out at all": [If] he builds a house and inaugurates it but twelve months did not pass, he planted a vineyard and deconsecrated it but twelve months did not pass, [or] he betrothed a woman and took her [as a wife] but twelve months did not pass, these do not pay city taxes, and they do not provide water and food for the battle, and they do not repair the roads. Rabbi Yehuda would designate an optional war as a "war of mitzvah," but for an obligatory war, everyone goes out, even a bridegroom from his roomchamber and a bride from her wedding canopy.

    (Deut. 20:8) "And the officers shall gather, etc." "He who is afraid and soft of heart" -- that he is afraid because of the transgressions he has committed, as it is said (Ps. 49:6), "Why should I fear in times of evil," the words of Rabbi Yosei HaGalili. Rabbi Akiva says, "Who is the man who is afraid" -- [this means] afraid literally. Why does the verse mention that "the soft of heart" return as well? For even the bravest of the brave and the strongest of the strong, [if] he was merciful, he would return, as it is said (Deut. 20:8), "So he does not melt his brothers' hearts, like his own heart." Rabbi Shimon says, anyone who hears the words of the priest concerning the regulations of war and does not return, at the end that he falls by the sword and brings down [the rest of] Israel by the sword, and causes them to be exiled from their land, and others come and settle in their land, as it is said (Deut. 20:7) "[Lest he die in battle] and another man take her." "Another" -- you might think his uncle or the son of his uncle (cf. San. 3:4). Rather, it says here "another," and it says later on (Deut. 28:32) "another." Just as the "another" that is spoken of later on is an idolater, so too the "another" that is spoken of here is an idolater. § If he heard that his brother died in battle before he sallied forth [to battle], he returns; once he sallied forth, he does not return.

As is explained in Tractate Niddah, a woman is not considered to be a zavah who would have to bring a sacrifice until after the seven days of being a niddah, unless she sees [that subsequent discharge] three consecutive days during the [next] eleven days, whether at the beginning or at the end of that time. [If she does,] she must observe seven consecutive clean days, and must then bring the sacrifice on the eighth day.

    Version: Sefaria Community Translation (English)
    <b>And God said, "Let the waters swarm":</b> The Creation went from one level to another, the inanimate, theat which growings (plant life), the livingat which is alive (animal life), and the speaking (human life). And everything that [came] first was a preparation for that which [came] after it. So after He arranged the luminaires, without which it would have been impossible for life to exist (as mentioned above on verse 14), He gave the word for the creation of animals. And it is known that even when they went up the ladder of stages, a creature did not climb [from what was before it] by jumps, but rather through stages. So it is found that coral is between the inanimate and theat which growings; the polyp (sea anemones or zooids) is between theat which growings and the livingat which is alive; and monkeys (primates) are between the livingat which is alive and the speaking. And likewise with each level, it arose from the lower to the higher, as I have written; such that with the creation of theat which growings, it ascended from grasses to herbs, and from [herbs] to trees. And so was it with the creation of animals, such that scientists have divided animals into six groupings: 1) worms; 2) the buzzhovering or crawling (insects); 3) fish; 4) marine life that lives in the water and on land (amphibians); 5) birds; and 6) mammals. And the first two groups are not mentioned in Scripture, since they are positioned between theat which growings and the livingat which is alive. As worms are close to theat which growings, so [that] their reproduction is without male and female. The majority of the buzzhovering are also born from vermin and crawl like worms, their skins change several times until they surround themselves in an envelope, turn into a winged buzzhoverer, procreate and die. But they do not have blood, but a white liquid instead; [so] it is understood that it is the transition between theat which growings and the livingat which is alive. Hence the creation story begins with the four last groupings, such that He commanded that "the waters swarm (<i>yishretzu</i>) with swarms (<i>sheratzim</i>) of creatures." And the Ramban explained [both] the noun and the verb [as being] about their running and their movement. But Rabbi Yitzchak Abarbanel explained it as about their procreation. And I have already explained in my book, HaTorah VeHamitzvah (Shemini, Sections 80 and 109), that the noun, <i>sheretz</i>, appears about the movement and the swarming, but the verb, <i>sharatz</i>, is usually used regarding the excessive reproduction that is found with swarming creatures, as I wrote there based on the reason of the Ssages, may their memory be blessed. And here [too], it appears with the understanding of excessive reproduction, such that the waters should produce animals that live and reproduce in the water. And that includes the grouping of the fish and the grouping of the water animals (amphibians). For even though the water animals also go up on the dry land, most of them lay their eggs in the water. As those that reproduce on the land are not associated with the water animals concerning [their categorization for] impurity and purity, as I wrote there in the book, HaTorah VeHamitzvah. And birds are [also] to swarm, since they are positioned between these two groupings and the grouping of mammals. For they are [also] warm-blooded and have lungs, whereas the earlier ones are cold-blooded and do not have lungs, but a balloon-like sac instead. And hence the Ssages, may their memory be blessed, said that fish and grasshoppers do not require slaughter - for grasshoppers are below fish, since they are from the buzzing ones - whereas birds require slaughter of one [tube]. As they were created from the mud, meaning the blending of water, dirt and air. And hence it stated, "let the waters swarm" for their watery part; and let them fly upon the earth," for their earthly part; and "over the firmament of the skies," for their airy part which is the one that is dominant with them.

Rabbi El'azar rose, opened and said: (Psalms 118:5) "From the distress I called out 'God' (יה), in the wide space God (יה) answered etc.". Until "...than to rely upon the willing" [Psalms 118:9]. We have learned that here are nine installments that are in this beard. King David needed these installments in order to be victorious over the rest of the kings and the rest of the peoples.

    Version: Sefaria Community Translation (English)
    And he (i.e., Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah) also expounded (Ecclesiastes 12:11) "The sayings of the wise are like goads, like nails fixed in prodding sticks. They were given by one Shepherd." Just as the goad directs the cow so as to bring life to the world, so too words of Torah are only life for the world, as it is said, “It is a tree of life . . .” [Proverbs 3:18]. Or, just as the goad is movable, might it be so for words of Torah? Scripture says, “And like nails firmly planted.” [Or, might (words of Torah like nails) neither diminish nor increase? Scripture says, “firmly planted.”] Just as a plant flourishes and grows, so too words of Torah flourish and grow. 'Masters of Assemblies' these are students of the wise that enter into multiple assemblies and declare what is impure [to be] impure, and what is pure [to be] pure; what is impure [to be] in its place and what is pure [to be] in its place. Perhaps it will arise in one's mind that since Beit Shammai [declares] impure and Beit Hillel [declares] pure, so-and-so prohibits and so-and-so permits, [Why] should I henceforth study Torah? Scripture teaches "words" "the words" "these are the words" [see Exodus 19:6-7] all of these words were given by "one Shepherd" [Ecclesiastes 12:11]. One God created them, one Benefactor gave them, the Master of all deeds, blessed be He, said them. Now make for your heart chambers within chambers and bring into it the words of Beit Shammai and the words of Beit Hillel, the words of those who declare impure and the words of those who declare pure. [After hearing what had been expounded in the house of study, Rabbi Yehoshua] said, "There is no generation that [can be considered] orphaned, if Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah dwells in its midst."

    For thus the Torah teaches the way of the world: When a man is given a livelihood, he acquires for himself a house. If he is again given [means], he acquires for himself a field. If he is yet again given [means], he acquires for himself a wife, as it is said (Deut. 20:5-7), "Who is the man who has built ... and who is the man who has planted ... and who is the man who has betrothed a wife." And so too Solomon said with his wisdom (Prov. 24:27), "Prepare your work outside, [Get ready what you have in the field, Then build yourself a home]." "Prepare your work outside" -- that is a house. "Get ready what you have in the field" -- that is a field. "Then build yourself a home" -- that is a wife. Another version: "Prepare your work outside" -- that is Scripture. "Get ready what you have in the field" -- that is Mishnah. "Then build yourself a home" -- that is Midrash. Another version: "Prepare your work outside" -- that is Mishnah. "Get ready what you have in the field" -- that is Midrash. "Then build yourself a home" -- that is Halachot. Another version: "Prepare your work outside" -- that is Midrash.

"Get ready what you have in the field" -- that is Aggadot. "Then build yourself a home" -- that is Talmud. Rabbi Eliezer the son of Rabbi Yosei HaGalili says, "Prepare your work outside" -- that is Talmud. "Get ready what you have in the field" -- that is good deeds.

    [With respect to the portion read by the king,] he reads from the beginning [of Deuteronomy], "These are the words..."

Rebbi says, he did not need to begin from the beginning of the book, rather, "Shema," "And it will come to pass if you listen," "Tithings you shall tithe," "When you have finished tithing," and the parashah of the king until its conclusion (Deut. 17:8-20). And the expositors expounded upon it [midrashically], and continued until the end [of the parashah]." "For the Lord your God is the one who goes out with you" (Deut. 20:4) -- that is the name that was given in the Ark, as it is said (Num. 31:6), "And Moses sent them out, a thousand per tribe, to wage war, them and Pinchas [son of Elazar the Priest of the army, and holy vessels and trumpets for sounding the blasts in his hand.]" It says that Pinchas was anointed for the war, and "the holy vessels" -- this is the Ark, as it says (Num. 4:20), "And they shall not see the covering [of the Holy, or they will die.]" And there are those who say that these are the priestly garments, as it is said (Ex. 29:29), "And the holy garments [that are Aaron's shall be for his sons after him]." Rabbi Yehuda ben Lakish says, there were two Arks: one that went out with them to war, and one one that remained with them in the camp. This that went out with them to war had in it the Torah scroll, as it is said (Num. 10:33), "And the Ark of the Covenant of God journeyed before them, etc." And this that remained with them in the camp, this is what had the broken tablets in it, as it is said (Num. 14:44), "And the Ark of the Covenant of God and Moses did not depart from the camp."...

    The wooden platform [erected for the portion read by the king (Sot. 7:8)], they would make in the Temple Courtyard and he sits on it. Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov says, on the Temple Mount, as it is said (Neh. 8:3-6), "He read it facing the plaza that was in front of the Water Gate, from early morning until midday, etc. And Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden toward that they made him for that purpose, etc. And Ezra opened the scroll in the sight of all the people, etc. And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God, and all the people answered, 'Amen, Amen', etc." And it says (2 Chron. 23:13), "And [Athaliah] looked, and there was the king standing on his platform at the entrance, and the officers and the trumpeters [by the king]." That same day, the Kohanim stand at the gates and at the breaches (Mid. 2:3), with golden trumpets in their hands. They blow <i>tekiah</i>, and <i>teruah</i>, and <i>tekiah</i>. [As for] any Kohenpriest without a trumpet in his hand, they would say, "This one is like someone who is not a Kohenpriest." There would be a great [financial] reward for the people of Jerusalem, who would hire out trumpets for a golden dinar. That same day, Rabbi Tarfon saw a lame man (=חיגר (see Hag. 1:1)) blow <i>teruah</i> on the trumpet, and from that they said that a lame man can blow [the trumpet] in the Temple. § In the name of (משום) Rabbi Natan they said, "Israel was liable for the destruction, for they defiled themselves for Agrippas the King" (see Sot. 7:8).

    Rabbi Elazar ben Azaria said: <br>I am almost seventy years old,<br>and never have I merited to find the command<br>to speak of the Exodus from Egypt at night –<br>until Ben Zoma interpreted: <br>It is written,<br>“SO THAT YOU REMEMBER <br>THE DAY OF YOUR EXODUS FROM EGYPT<br>ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE.” <br>“The days of your life” would mean in the days; <br>“all the days of your life” includes the nights. <br>But the sages say,<br>“The days of your life” would mean only in this world; <br>“all the days of your life” brings in the time of the Messiah.

    Version: Sefaria Community Translation (English)
    The Gemara in Tractate Berakhot 55a deals with the question of the order of the building of the tTabernacle and the preparation of the vessels. The Gemara's midrash compares the ordersequence of Moshe's orders to Betzalel (in Parshat Ki Tissa) to the ordersequence of Betzalel's execution of them (in Parshat Veyakhel). According to the midrash, Moshe's command is, "Make an ark, and vessels, and a tabernacle." The ark before the vessels; and the vessels before the tTabernacle itself. However, even though these are Moshe's commands, Betzalel doesn't accept Moshe's instructions and questions them: "The practice throughout the world is that a person builds a house and only afterward places the vessels in the house; yet you say to me, 'Make an ark, and vessels, and a tabernacle?' The vessels that I make, where shall I put them?" From the dialog between Moshe and Betzalel, as it is presented in the Gemara, it becomes clear that Betzalel had the Ddivine Ppresence's intent in mind. Indeed, the Holy One, blessed be He, commanded Moshe to build the tTabernacle [first], and the vessels afterwards. Yet Moshe chose to present the enterprise of setting the tTabernacle in the opposite ordersequence, from the vessels to the tTabernacle. Moshe is amazed by Betzalel's wisdom, since he sensed the change in the order;sequence, so he reacts to his words, while admitting the truth, "Perhaps you were in God’s shadow (<i>betzel El</i>), and you knew."

    רַבִּי יוֹסֵי הַגְּלִילִי RABBI Yossei HaGelili says: How can you know<br>that the Egyptians were struck with ten plagues in Egypt<br>and another fifty at the sea? <br>For in Egypt it is said,<br>“The astrologers said to Pharaoh, ‘This is the <i>finger</i> of God,’”<br>while at the sea it is said,<br>“When Israel saw the great <i>hand</i><br>the L<small>ORD</small> raised against the Egyptians,<br>the people feared the L<small>ORD</small>,<br>and they believed in the L<small>ORD</small> and in His servant Moses.” <br>If a finger struck them with ten plagues,<br>conclude from this that <br>THEY WERE STRUCK WITH TEN PLAGUES IN EGYPT<br>AND WITH FIFTY PLAGUES AT THE SEA.
