Talmud zu Zevachim 13:10
Jerusalem Talmud Sukkah
There, we have stated99Mishnah Zevaḥim 13:6.: “Rebbi Eleazar100The Tanna, ben Shamua. says, also one who pours a libation of water on Tabernacles outside of the Temple is liable101As a matter of principle, any sacrifice outside the Temple conducted in the way it is biblically prescribed for the Temple is a deadly sin and if performed inadvertently makes the person liable for a purification sacrifice. To state that making a water libation outside the Temple creates such a liability for the performer is stating that the libation in the Temple is biblically prescribed..” Rebbi Joḥanan said102Babli Zevaḥim 110b., the entire system of Rebbi Eleazar is the system of his teacher Rebbi Aqiba. Just as Rebbi Aqiba said, the water libation is a word from the Torah, so Rebbi Eleazar is saying, the water libation is a word from the Torah. There are Tannaim who state in the name of Rebbi Eleazar, it is necessary that the filling be for the holiday; there are Tannaim who state in the name of Rebbi Eleazar, it is not necessary that the filling be for the holiday103Since anything sacrificed on the altar needs a dedication, and using Temple vessels for not dedicated contents is sinful, if the water libation is a biblical requirement it needs a Temple vessel and dedication of the water at the moment of filling for the holiday. If the water libation is tradition, it does not have to be drawn for its purpose from the start.. He who said, it is necessary that the filling be for the holiday, Rebbi Eleazar following Rebbi Aqiba; he who said, it is not necessary that the filling be for the holiday, Rebbi Eleazar following the rabbis. This you cannot say since Rebbi Joḥanan said, the entire system of Rebbi Eleazar is the system of his teacher Rebbi Aqiba. Just as Rebbi Aqiba said, the water libation is a word from the Torah, so Rebbi Eleazar is saying, the water libation is a word from the Torah. What is the difference between them? Rebbi Ze`ira said, only if he poured three log inside and three log outside104This statement is elliptic. It can be read parallel to a statement of R. Simeon ben Laqish in the Babli Zevaḥim 110b as stating that since in the Temple the libation is only valid if it is of exactly three log (a quarter of a hin, the smallest admissible libation of wine, Num. 15:4), also outside it creates liability only if it is exactly 3 log.. There are Tannaim who state, there is prescribed measure; there are Tannaim who state, there is no prescribed measure. He who said that there is prescribed measure, not liable105If the measure is not exactly 3 log, since inside the Temple this is a biblical obligation.; he who said there is no prescribed measure, liable106In any amount, since inside the ceremony is tradition, not Scripture..
