תלמוד על ברכות 8:8

Rebbi Ze`ira asked before Rebbi Abbahu: He told him, (as it comes in the mouth before you) [Rebbi Abba is on top before you.]<sup>125</sup>The scribe’s text, supported by the text in Megillah, is the only one which makes sense. One may answer either hallelu yah or hallelujah. Rebbi Jonah answered both ways. Rebbi Eliezer<sup>126</sup>With the text in Megillah read: Eleazar. did not answer any way<sup>127</sup>Here is a sentence missing, which is found in the origin in Megillah:“As it was stated: if he heard but did not answer he fulfilled his obligation, if he answered but did not hear he did not fulfill his obligation.”. Rav in the name of Rav Abba bar Ḥana <sup>128</sup>Again a clause missing from the parallel sources: {Some say, Rav Abba bar Ḥama} in the name of Rav. Both statements are possible; the authors were cousins. Here starts a parallel in Berakhot8:9, Notes 177–182,ב. Babli 38b. in the name of Rav: Only if he answered at the start of the Chapters. Rebbi Ze`ira asked, what are the starts of Chapters? Hallelujah, praise, servants of the Eternal, praise the Name of the Eternal¹²⁹Ps. 113:1. In Yemenite prayer books the instructions for the recitation are, with the responses added in brackets: Hallelujah [hallelujah], praise, servants of the Eternal, [hallelujah], praise the Name of the Eternal [hallelujah]. Babli 38b.. They asked before Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Abba: From where that he who heard but did not answer has fulfilled his obligation? He told them, since we are seeing great rabbis standing among the public when these say praised be he who comes and the others say in the name of the Eternal¹³⁰Ps. 118:26. Approved in the Babli 38b. Yerushalmi Berakhot8:9 Note 178., and both have fulfilled their obligation.
