היא עצמה מניין ודין הוא מה אם הזרע שלא עבר עבירה הרי הוא מתחלל היא שעברה עבירה אינו דין שתתחלל הוא עצמו יוכיח שעבר עבירה ואינו מתחלל לא אם אמרתם באיש שאינו מתחלל בכל מקום תאמר באשה שהיא מתחללת בכל מקום הואיל והיא מתחללת בכל מקום דין הוא שתתחלל. ואם נפשך לומר לא יחול ולא יחלל אף מי שהיה כשר ונתחלל. בר פדייה אומר המחלל לא נתחלל היאך זה מתחלל. עדים שנזדממו רבי יוחנן אמר שקר שקר עדים שנזדממו וחזרו ונשתקרו רבי יוחנן אמר שקר שקר רבי לעזר אמר רשע רשע נאמר רשע במחוייבי מיתות ונאמר רשע במחוייבי מכות מה רשע שנאמר במחוייבי מיתות אין ממון אצל מיתה אף רשע שנאמר במחוייבי מכות אין ממון אצל מכות. בר פדייה אמר הוא ינוס לא זוממיו ואין משלמין כל הכתובה אבל משלמין הן טובת הניית כתובה כיצד אומר כמה אדם רוצה ליתן בכתובתה של זו שמא תמות בחיי בעלה וירשנה בעלה או שמא ימות בעלה בחייה וירש הלה את כתובתה לפי כך הוא משלם:
Come and see, [let us test this hypothesis by implication from our mishnah]: "...from the time that the Kohanim go in to eat their terumah." It is [still close to] daytime. It is as soon as the stars come out!? [and the Tosefta says:] "...from the time when people usually go in to eat their bread on the eve of the Sabbath." That is an hour or two after nightfall! [These are obviously two very different times.] And yet you say: "These opinions are close enough to be equal!?" --Rabbi Yose said: "Let the problem be resolved [by claiming that the Tosefta refers only] to those small villages whose way is to go on up [home] while it is still day, to spare themselves from the animals."
Jerusalem Talmud Taanit
One verse says, in front of the cover19Lev. 16:2. (But maybe Lev. 4:17 was intended.), but another verse says, in front of the holy gobelin20Lev. 4:6, the purification offering of the anointed High Priest.. Rebbi Aḥa said, Rebbi Abbahu and the rabbis disagree. One said, if the Patriarch sins, majesty remains in place. If the community sinned, majesty is not in place21In the Babli, Zevaḥim41b, the idea is formulated so: If an individual revolts, the king’s government is unchanged; if an entire country revolts, the king’s government is abolished.. But the other one said, because teacher and student sinned, they have to go public and be noticed, following and he shall remove the bull to outside the camp22Lev. 4:21.. Ḥizqiah stated: it is a hint. Anywhere there is an anointed one there is the Ark23As long as anointed High Priests officiated in the Temple, the Ark was in the Holiest of Holies. In the Second Temple, whose High Priests were invested but not anointed, there was no Ark.. Anywhere there is no anointed one there is no Ark. This follows what Rebbi Samuel ben Aina said in the name of Rebbi Aḥa24Makkot2:7 (Notes 124–130), Horaiot3:2, Babli Yoma21b: Five things was the last Temple missing which were in the first Temple, as it is written25Hag.1:8.: I shall be pleased with it and I will be honored. It is written I will be honored, without the letter he26Ketib וְאֶכָּבֵד, Qere וְאֶכָּֽבְדָ֖ה. Both spellings make sense. The missing ה is interpreted in the Alexandrian system of numeration as “5”.. These are the five things which the last Temple was missing which were in the first Temple. They are: The {heavenly} fire, the Ark, Urim and Tummim, anointing oil27It is stated in Ex.30:23 that only Moses himself could compound this oil and in v. 31 that it should be used for all subsequent generations. By tradition, Josia buried the oil flask together with the Ark of the Covenant in the Temple Mount (2Chr.35:3) after the prophetess Hulda informed him of the imminent destruction of the Temple., and the Holy Spirit.

Jerusalem Talmud Sotah
“It was hidden from her husband’s eyes199Num. 5:13.”, that excludes the blind man who has no eyes200Tanḥuma Naśo 7, Tanḥuma Buber Naśo 11 (Note 62); Sifry Num. 7, Sifry zuṭa Naśo; Num. rabba 9(36); Babli 27a (the only other source which also includes the blind wife).. It is the same for the blind man and the blind woman. This baraita follows Rebbi Jehudah who frees him from all obligations in the Torah201Quoted also in Babli Qiddušin31a. Since some of the great Babylonian authorities were blind (Rav Sheshet and Rav Yoseph), practice does not follow R. Jehudah. (Nevertheless, Maimonides disqualifies the blind man from the ceremony of the suspected wife)..

MISHNAH: A minor reads in the Torah and translates140Since these activities depend only on ability, not personal obligation. but he does not spread out the Shema`, nor stands before the Ark, nor lifts his hands. The uncovered141In Is. 20, Jonathan translates עָרוֹם by פָחֵיחַ(while at all other occurrences the translation is ערטילאי). Rif explains: פּוֹחֵחַ means one whose clothing is torn and his shoulder and arms are naked. Rashi quotes Soferim14:15: פּוֹחֵחַ is one whose feet are naked, or whose clothing is torn, or whose head is uncovered. He may do anything which is not visible in public. spreads out the Shema` and translates, but he may not read in the Torah nor stand before the Ark, nor lift his hands. A blind man spreads out the Shema`142This Tanna holds that blindness is not a disability freeing from religious observances. and translates. Rebbi Jehudah says, a person who never saw light does not spread out the Shema`143Since the first benediction preceding the Shema` is a praise of God for the creation of light..
