Ele sacudiu o kalpi [Ele sacudiu e arrancou uma cédula rapidamente do kalpi (ver 3: 9). Por que "arrebatar"? Para que ele não "intencionalmente" apóie a cédula com o nome de (s) e a leve na mão direita (é um sinal auspicioso quando surgiu na mão direita)]. E ele levantou duas cédulas, uma na mão direita; o outro à esquerda. As cabras estão de pé, uma do lado direito; o outro à esquerda. Ele coloca a cédula que apareceu em sua mão direita na cabra direita e a cédula que apareceu em sua mão esquerda na cabra esquerda.] Em uma delas (as cédulas), estava escrito: "para o L-rd ", e por outro:" para Azazel ". O sumo sacerdote ajudante estava à sua direita e o chefe da casa patriarcal, à sua esquerda. Se a votação para o Senhor surgir em sua mão direita, o sumo sacerdote auxiliar lhe diz: "Meu senhor, sumo sacerdote, levante sua mão direita". E se a cédula para o Senhor aparecer na mão esquerda, o chefe da casa patriarcal diz-lhe: "Meu senhor, sumo sacerdote, levante a mão esquerda". Ele coloca as cédulas nas duas cabras e diz: "Para o Senhor, uma oferta pelo pecado". [Ele pronunciou o tetragrammaton como está escrito.] R. Yishmael diz: Ele não precisava dizer: "uma oferta pelo pecado", mas apenas: "Para o Senhor". [A halachá não está de acordo com R. Yishmael.] E eles responderiam depois dele [quando ele pronunciou o nome]: "Bendito seja o nome da glória de Seu reino para sempre."
Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin
HALAKHAH: “Ten cubits’ distance from the place of stoning,” etc. You find that when Achan stole from the ban, Joshua started supplicating before the Holy One, praise to Him, and said: Master of the Universe, inform me who is the man. The Holy One, praise to Him, answered: I never publicize any creature. In addition, would I not be guilty of slander? But go and let Israel stand up by its tribes and throw lots, then immediately I shall draw him out. That is what is written: Joshua got up early in the morning and summoned Israel by its tribes. Achan ben Karmi ben Zeraḥ from the tribe of Jehudah was caught. Achan told him, how? Do you catch me by lots? There is nobody more pious in the present generation than you or Phineas. Let lots be thrown between you, certainly one of you will be caught. Not only this, but your teacher Moses died only 30 or 40 days ago. Did not our teacher Moses instruct us: By the testimony of two witnesses? You started erring. At that moment did Joshua have a vision by the holy spirit how he distributes the Land to Israel by lots. That is what is written: Joshua threw lots for them. This means, we are giving lots a bad name. Not only this, but if lots are confirmed now, all of Israel will say, since the lots were true in criminal matters, so much more in money matters. But if they are repudiated now, all of Israel will say, since the lots were repudiated in criminal matters, so much more in money matters. At that moment, Joshua started supplicating Achan, entreated him in the name of Israel’s God, and said to him: my son, honor the Eternal,the God of Israel, … Achan answered Joshua and said, in fact. What means אָמְנָה? Truth. I sinned against the Eternal, God of Israel. He told him, I asked you for one and you are answering me two? he answered, I stole from the ban of Midian and the ban of Jericho. Rebbi Tanḥuma said, he stole from four bans: The ban of the Phoenician, king of Arad, the ban of Siḥon and Og, the ban of Midian, the ban of Jericho. From where that his confession atoned for him? It is said, the sons of Zeraḥ: Zimri and Ethan, etc. Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said, Zimri is Achan who behaved like Zimri. Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman said, Heman that is Achan, omna I sinned. Altogether five. Did I not know that they were five? But it teaches that Achan also has part in the World to Come.
