R. Gamliel mówi: Każdego dnia recytuje się osiemnaście błogosławieństw (shemoneh esreh). R. Yehoshua mówi: To jest podobne do osiemnastu błogosławieństw. [W gemara niektórzy wyjaśniają, że recytuje on w skrócie każde ze środkowych błogosławieństw i kończy błogosławieństwem dla każdego; i inni, o których mówi: „Spraw nam, L-rd nasz B-ga, abyśmy poznali Twoje drogi” (havineinu), co jest jednym błogosławieństwem, które jest uosobieniem wszystkich środkowych błogosławieństw szemoneh esreh, a on podsumowuje: „Błogosławiony jesteś , O L-rd, który słucha modlitwy. ”] R. Akiwa mówi: Jeśli to (szemoneh esreh) jest„ nawykiem ”w jego ustach, [jeśli jest„ nauczony ”i biegle w nim], recytuje shemoneh esreh ; jeśli nie, recytuje to, co jest z tym podobne. [A halacha jest według R. Akivy, że jeśli ktoś nie jest w niej biegły lub jest mocno naciskany, recytuje pierwsze trzy błogosławieństwa i ostatnie, i „Havineinu”, pośrodku, Havineinu uosabiające wszystkie środkowe błogosławieństwa (z wyjątkiem pory deszczowej, kiedy nie recytuje havineinu, konieczne jest, aby recytował prośbę o deszcz w błogosławieństwie lat; i z wyjątkiem zakończenia szabatów i świąt, kiedy musi recytować havdalah in chonen hada'ath.]

Eighteen Berachot (blessings) that the Sages have established [for the prayer of Shemoneh Esreh have been established] corresponding to eighteen mentionings [of God’s name] that are in [the chapter of Tehillim that begins with] “Ascribe to God, children of princes…” (Tehillim 29) And [a person] should include [the Beracha against] the heretics into [the Beracha] for the Rabbinical Jews, and [the Beracha] for the converts into [the Beracha] for the elders, and [the Beracha] for [King] David into [the Beracha] for [the rebuilding of] Jerusalem.
