Nunca hay menos de veintiún explosiones [ Shofar ] en el Templo y nunca más de cuarenta y ocho. Nunca hay menos de dos arpas, ni más de seis. Nunca hay menos de dos flautas, ni más de doce. En doce días del año se tocaba la flauta ante el altar: en el sacrificio de [la ofrenda de Pesaj para] el primer Pesaj , en el sacrificio de [la ofrenda de Pesaj para] el segundo Pesaj , en el primer día festivo de Pesaj , en el día del festival de Shavuot, y en los ocho días de Sucot. Y no tocaron en una pipa de bronce sino en una caña de caña, porque su sonido es más dulce. Tampoco se usó nada más que un solo tubo para el final, porque es un final agradable.
Jerusalem Talmud Sukkah
HALAKHAH: “The fife five and six,” etc. Therefore the one of sacrifices supersedes. The Mishnah is Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Jehudah’s, as it was stated: The fife accompanying the sacrifices supersedes the Sabbath, the words of Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Jehudah, but the Sages say, it supersedes neither the Sabbath nor the holiday. There we have stated: “On twelve days in the year the fife beats the time before the altar, at the sacrifice of the First Pesaḥ, the sacrifice of the Second Pesaḥ, on the first day of Passover, on the day of Pentecost, and on the eight days of Tabernacles.” Are there eight days without a Sabbath? Rebbi Yose said it anonymously, Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: It is Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Jehudah’s. In the opinion of those rabbis why does it not supersede? Because it is not clear. But is it not written, and the people blew fifes? That is written for Solomon’s festivity. Rebbi Jonah in the name of Rebbi Abba bar Mamal: And heartfelt joy like one marching with a fife. Any time one uses a fife one recites the Hallel. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun in the name of Rebbi Abba bar Mamal: Why does one recite Hallel all seven days of Tabernacles? Corresponding to the lulav which is renewed all seven days. And why a fife for all these things? We have stated, for one is at stated times and the other is at stated times; this is beloved and that is beloved. They attached the beloved to the beloved. “On Pentecost one says to him, here you have maṣsah, here you have leavened.” There are Tannaim who state, here you have leavened, [here you have maṣsah.] He who said, here you have maṣsah, because it is beloved; he who said, here you have leavened, because it is frequent.
