Talmud sobre Brachot 1:5

מַזְכִּירִין יְצִיאַת מִצְרַיִם בַּלֵּילוֹת. אָמַר רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בֶּן עֲזַרְיָה, הֲרֵי אֲנִי כְּבֶן שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה, וְלֹא זָכִיתִי שֶׁתֵּאָמֵר יְצִיאַת מִצְרַיִם בַּלֵּילוֹת, עַד שֶׁדְּרָשָׁהּ בֶּן זוֹמָא, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (דברים טז) לְמַעַן תִּזְכֹּר אֶת יוֹם צֵאתְךָ מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם כֹּל יְמֵי חַיֶּיךָ. יְמֵי חַיֶּיךָ, הַיָּמִים. כֹּל יְמֵי חַיֶּיךָ, הַלֵּילוֹת. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, יְמֵי חַיֶּיךָ, הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה. כֹּל יְמֵי חַיֶּיךָ, לְהָבִיא לִימוֹת הַמָּשִׁיחַ:

O êxodo do Egito é mencionado à noite. [A seção de tsitzith é recitada à noite Shema, embora a noite não seja uma hora para tsitzith, sendo escrita (Números 15:39): "E você verá"—excluir uma roupa noturna; é recitada à noite por causa do êxodo do Egito que inclui.] R. Elazar b. Azaryah disse: "Eu sou como alguém que tem setenta anos de idade [ou seja, eu parecia velho. Ele não era muito velho, mas seu cabelo ficou branco no dia em que foi nomeado Nassi, de modo que ele parecia velho e qualificado para o Nassiado" E naquele dia, Ben Zoma expôs esse versículo.] Velo zachithi [eu não prevaleci sobre os sábios. Um exemplo semelhante (Niddah 38b): "Nisto, zichnahu R. Elazar sobre os rabinos"— isto é, ele prevaleceu sobre eles] para que o êxodo do Egito fosse recitado à noite, até Ben Zoma expô-lo (Deuteronômio 16: 3): "... para que você se lembre do dia em que saiu da terra do Egito todos os dias da sua vida ":" os dias da sua vida " —os dias; "todos os dias da sua vida"—as noites. E os sábios dizem: "os dias da sua vida"—este mundo; "todos os dias da sua vida"— para incluir os dias do Messias.

Jerusalem Talmud Sukkah

Ben Yehoṣadaq was priding himself for his vaulting. 78Babli 53a. The corrector’s change [in brackets] follows the Babli and should be deleted. In the Babli the torches are lit. They said about Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel that he was dancing with eight golden torches and neither of them touched (the ground) [any other.] When he was bowing down to his shinbone he thrust his thumb into the ground, bowed down to his shinbone, and immediately stood up. 79Parallels are in Berakhot1:8 (Note 249), Gen. rabba39(18). The text in Berakhot editio princeps is the corrector’s, quite different from the scribe’s which is consistent with the text here. What is bowing down to one’s shinbone and what is kneeling? The great Rebbi Ḥiyya showed bowing down to his shinbone before Rebbi, [became lame] and was healed. Levi ben Sisi showed kneeling before Rebbi, became lame and was not healed.

Jerusalem Talmud Horayot

It was stated: The systematizer has precedence over the dialectician302The scholar who can bring order into the vast amount of rabbinic traditions is on a higher level than the one who finds apparent contradictions between traditional statements and explains them by finding the underlying principles. In the Babli (14a) the question is between “Sinai” and “one who uproots mountains” (and grinds them down), i. e., between a living encyclopedia and a practitioner of dialectics, and it is reported that in Galilee Sinai was preferred. There is no mention there about an effort at systematizing and in fact it is in general impossible to derive a valid rule of practice by basing oneself on one talmudic discussion alone, but all Tractates of the Babli have simultaneously to be considered.. Rebbi Samuel, Rebbi Berekhia’s brother, asked: Even like Rebbi Immi? He told him, what do you want from Rebbi Immi? He is a dialectician303In B: “He is both a systematizer and a dialectician.” In both Talmudim, the teachings of R. Immi and his companion R. Yasa are too sporadic to allow a judgment between the two versions.. This means, the Mishnah has precedence over Scripture304Since the Mishnah is a first attempt at systematizing Jewish teaching, its study, while presupposing a prior study of Scripture, is on a higher level since it is less anecdotal or self-contradictory.. The following supports this, as Rebbi Simeon ben Ioḥai stated, one who studies Scripture is a qualification which is not a qualification. But the rabbis consider Scripture equally with the Mishnah305They agree to the value of analysis and explanation of Scripture also independent of traditional interpretations.. Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman said, the Mishnah has precedence over the Talmud. What is the reason? Acquire wisdom, acquire understanding306Prov. 4:5. “Wisdom” is identified here as the Mishnah, the encyclopedia of traditional knowledge. “Understanding” is the explanation of the formulaic statements of the Mishnah, the Talmud, whether formulated in one of the Talmudim or in a prior state of oral explanation. Wisdom precedes understanding., etc. Rebbi Joḥanan said, the Talmud has precedence over the Mishnah. What is the reason? Is acquiring wisdom not better than pure gold307Prov. 16:16. The verse reads: Is acquiring wisdom not better than pure gold, acquisition of understanding more select than silver? Here also wisdom precedes understanding, but silver is everyday coin; gold is used only for major transactions and by the very rich.? How does Rebbi Joḥanan explain Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman’s reason? Water is cheap, wine is expensive. It is possible for the world to exist without wine; it is impossible for the world to exist without water308In both verses, the less valuable but more essential is mentioned in second place. This does not make the second less essential.. How does Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman explain Rebbi Joḥanan’s reason? Salt is cheap, pepper is expensive. It is possible for the world to exist without pepper; it is impossible for the world to exist without salt309He agrees that without interpretation and explanation (“the Talmud”) the Mishnah cannot be applied; the salt of the Talmud, the silver, is absolutely necessary. This does not diminish the value of the gold.
A different version of the preceding arguments is in Massekhet Sopherim 15:7, 8.
. Always pursue the Mishnah more than the Talmud. That is, before Rebbi incorporated most Mishnaiot into it310Here it is intimated that Rebbi’s edition of the Mishnah from the start was intended as providing the skeleton around which a systematic exposition of the Talmud, the oral tradition, could be organized. In this way, the Mishnah automatically is studied in a privileged way if the Talmud is studied. Cf. Lev. rabba 21(4) which declares the study of the Mishnah as prerequisite for everything else.. But since Rebbi incorporated most Mishnaiot into it, pursue the Talmud more than the Mishnah.
