Talmud sobre Pirkei Avot 1:2

שִׁמְעוֹן הַצַּדִּיק הָיָה מִשְּׁיָרֵי כְנֶסֶת הַגְּדוֹלָה. הוּא הָיָה אוֹמֵר, עַל שְׁלשָׁה דְבָרִים הָעוֹלָם עוֹמֵד, עַל הַתּוֹרָה וְעַל הָעֲבוֹדָה וְעַל גְּמִילוּת חֲסָדִים:

Shimon Hatzadik fue el último de los hombres de la gran asamblea [y la tradición (hakabalah) permaneció en su mano. Fue sumo sacerdote después de Ezra.] No solía decir [(Y así, todo lo que "R. Ploni dice" y "Solía decir" en este tratado se entiende como "Esto es lo que siempre diría"). ]: El mundo se basa en tres cosas [es decir, el mundo fue creado solo para estas tres cosas]: en la Torá [(Shabbath 88a) Si Israel no hubiera aceptado la Torá, el cielo y la tierra no se habrían creado, como está escrito (Jeremías 33:25): "Si no fuera por mi pacto (de la Torá), día y noche, los estatutos del cielo y de la tierra no los habría hecho"], sobre avodah [el servicio sacrificial. Porque así aprendimos en el tratado Ta'anith (27b): si no fuera por los ma'amadoth (los "vigilantes" en los servicios de sacrificio), el cielo y la tierra no podrían perdurar. Y encontramos que debido a los sacrificios ofrecidos por Noach, juró que nunca más traería una inundación sobre el mundo—de donde vemos que el mundo perdura por los sacrificios], y por la misericordia, [como está escrito (Salmos 89: 3): "El mundo está construido sobre la misericordia". La bondad amorosa consiste en: alegrar al novio, consolar a los dolientes, visitar a los enfermos, atender a los muertos y cosas similares.]

Jerusalem Talmud Taanit

Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa in the name of Rebbi Yasa: The world only continues to exist by the sacrifices¹³³In the absence of a Temple, this means that the daily recitation of the rules of daily sacrifices are necessary for the continued existence of the world. In Amoraic times this implied that the institution of the rules for bystanders to be explained in the following Halakhot was still followed, continuing the cycle of priestly watches uninterrupted theoretically from the time of Ezra (or practically from Hasmonean times.). There, we stated¹³⁴Mishnah Avot 1:2.: “Simeon the Just was of the remainders of the Great Assembly. He used to say, the world continues to exist by three things, by the Torah, by worship, and by labors of love¹³⁵Labors for which no thanks can be given, such as burying the dead or giving charity anonymously.” All three are in one verse¹³⁶Is. 51:16.: I shall put My word in your mouth, that is Torah. By the shadow of My hands I shall cover you, these are labors of love; to teach you that he who is occupied with Torah and labors of love merits to dwell in the shadow of the Holy One, praise to Him. That is what is written¹³⁷Ps. 36:8., how precious is Your grace, o God, and humans take shelter in Your wings’ shadow. To plant the Heavens and give foundation to the earth¹³⁶Is. 51:16., these are the sacrifices, and to say to Zion, you are My people, these are Israel. Rebbi Ḥinena bar Pappa said, we went over all of Scripture and only found this one that Israel was called Zion, and to say to Zion, you are My people. There, we stated¹³⁸Mishnah Avot 1:18. The following text shows that the verse quoted at the end was not part of the Yerushalmi Mishnah (and is not part of Maimonides’s autograph Mishnah.): “Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel says, the world is existing on three things, on justice, on truth, and on peace. All three are one: If justice is done, truth is accomplished. If truth is accomplished, peace is established. Rebbi Mana said, and all are in one verse¹³⁹Zach. 8:16., judge truth and law of peace in your gates.
