Sukkah 56b — the Talmud in English

:

And these two

-

what are they for?

!?

:

They take them

as payment for closing the doors

:

"

" means, "Remove." That is, remove and annul this practice now, upon your entering, so that they will remove this practice from you upon your leaving. For if you now take two loaves more, then on the following Shabbat, at the end of the watch, you will receive two loaves fewer. And why should you not receive six loaves both upon your entering and upon your leaving, and take an equal share like me .

He said

he explained

by a parable: If someone said to his fellow to take as a gift from his field a gourd, and gave him the option of plucking it now at the beginning of its growth, when it is small [called "butsina"], or waiting until it grows and becomes a large gourd [called "kara"], and then plucking it and taking it as a gift—it is better for him to take it already now, even though it is still small.

by means of a parable: If someone tells another person to take a pumpkin as a gift from his field, and gives him the choice of picking it now, at the beginning of its growth, when it is small [called a "butsina"], or waiting until it grows into a large pumpkin [called a "kera"], and then picking it and taking it as a gift—it is better for him to take it now, even though it is still small.

Rabbi Yehuda said: And with regard to the

skins of the two sheep offered on Shabbat as part of the

additional offerings

-

they divide them

.

They raise an objection from a source

:

The outgoing watch performs the daily morning offering and the additional offerings.

The incoming watch performs the daily afternoon offering and burns the bowls of frankincense.

"

additional offerings,

" -

it does not teach

!

:

This tannaitic authority

Rava said:

He raised a difficulty:

But the tannaitic authority of the school of Shmuel, who does discuss division, and

"

"

musafy delyat»

it does not teach

.

-

.

-

,

,

and

burns the

bowls of frankincense.

Four priests would enter there,

,

two from this watch

the outgoing one

and two from this watch

.

And

],

they divide the leḥem ha-panim

.

"

"

it does not teach

.

:

-

a conclusive refutation.

:

The incoming priests divide the bread in the north.

[According to Rashi's version, "תנו רבנן" is not read; rather, the Gemara explains the reason for the Mishna]:

soglasno versii Rashi, slova «tanu rabbanan» ne chitayutsya; Gemara obyasnyaet prichinu, ukazannuyu v Mishne]:

The incoming watch

divides

,

in the north

,

so that it will be evident that they are entering

.

And the outgoing watch

mishmeret

divides

the leḥem ha-panim allotted to it

in the south

,

so that it will be evident that they are leaving.

We learned in the Mishna: The watch of

-

always divides its share in the south.

[who was a daughter of a priest from the Bilgah watch, and was called Bilgah],

ona byla docheryu koena iz mishmeret Bilga i nazyvalas' Bilga],

who abandoned her faith and went and married a military officer of one of the Greek kings.

,

[wolf, wolf] -

[wolf, wolf]—

how long will you consume the property of Israel,

,

while you do not stand over them

to save them

in a time of distress?!

And

,

when the Sages heard about the matter, they fixed its ring

,

and they sealed its window

.

And some say

:

His watch

Bilga's watch

would delay

and be late

in coming

.

And

-

the watch that entered,

,

"

[the watch preceding Bilga], stayed

and served,

the watch of Yeshavav continuing the service

in its place,

.

Even though

all

[as the Gemara will explain below, when there is "woe" for the wicked, there is "woe" also for his neighbor] -

[as the Gemara will explain later, when there is "woe" for the wicked, there is "woe" also for his neighbor]—

the neighbors of Bilga profited!

Since

Bilga always divides its share in the south,

both when it enters and when it leaves, whereas the watch of

Yeshavav, its brother,

always divides its share

,

.

.

:

Granted, according to the one who says

that Bilga was penalized because

-

.

But according to the one who says

that it was penalized because of

.

we can ask: Is it really

because of his daughter

-

that we penalize him

!?

,

"

The speech of a young child

the manner in which a small child who walks

in the marketplace

speaks is not his own; rather, it is

either

from the speech

of his father or of his mother.

.

:

And

if it is

-

that we penalize the entire watch?

:

They penalized them in accordance with the principle that says: When

-

there is woe

also

.

.

And we learn further from here that when

-

it is good

also

.
