Talmud do Sota 9:12

Moses instituted seven days of a marriage feast⁶⁸The week-long wedding feast of Jacob and Leah, Gen. 29:27. But in the interpretation of Nahmanides, the Yerushalmi refers to an oral tradition going back to Moses, without reference to biblical verses. Sforno sees in Gen. 29:21 a biblical justification for R. Mattaniah’s procedure (Note 24). In Yalqut Šim’oni II, 70, in a note attributed to Pirqe R.Eliezer (not in the surviving text): “The seven days of a wedding feast we learned from Jacob and Simson (Jud. 14:12).” and seven days of mourning⁶⁹The week-long mourning for Jacob, Gen. 50:10. Since this mourning was held before the burial, it cannot be the real paradigm for the rabbinic mourning period which starts after burial., but he instituted nothing for the widow. Even though you say that he instituted nothing for the widow, she needs a benediction⁷⁰The “Seven Benedictions” without which the final marriage ceremony cannot be held. The same argument in the Babli, 7a, as an Amoraic statement.. From Boaz, as it is written⁷¹Ruth 4:2.: “And (Boaz)⁷²Not in the biblical text, implied by v. 4:1; is also in Ruth rabba 4(7). took ten men of the city Elders and said, sit here, and they sat down.” Rebbi Alexander said, ⁷³This and the following statements are also in Ruth rabba4(7). from here [one learns that] the lesser person is not permitted to sit down until the more important person⁷⁴Since Boaz was of the family of the princes of Judah, Ruth 4:21; cf. the author’s Commentary to Seder ‘Olam(Northvale NJ 1998), pp. 124–125. tells him to sit down. Rebbi Phineas said, from here [one learns that] this family⁷⁵The descendants of King David. appoints Elders for their marriage feasts. Rebbi Eleazar ben Rebbi Yose said, from here [one learns that] the wedding blessing needs ten people [present]⁷⁶In contrast to the preliminary marriage ceremony which requires only the presence of two witnesses.. Rebbi Jehudah bar Pazy said, not only a bachelor marrying a virgin, but also a widower marrying a widow, since Boaz was a widower and Ruth a widow, as it is written⁷⁷Ruth 1:19. The same argument in the Babli, Baba batra 91a; Ruth rabba 3(6). “The entire city was in an uproar because of them.” Is that possible that the entire town was in alarm because of the sorry state of Naomi? But Boaz’s wife had died that very day and when all the people went to the burial, Ruth and Naomi entered. It turned out that when one left, the other entered.
