Synopsis
Excerpt from Shĕmets Dávár: A Rabbinic Reading-Book
What may be called the Text of the First Chap ter consists of a few very easy extracts from the Book of 'j ashar' or 'j Osher.' These extracts are not of much importance - they serve chiefly as offer ing pegs, so to speak, on which to hang some Notes which perhaps may be of more importance to the Student than the extracts themselves.
In the first extract we are told that Noah and Methuselah were bid to call to repentance the people of the times before the Flood, and to promise that if they would repent the threatened destruction should not take place. In the last of the long lines on p. 1 the declaration is given that a fixed time of a hundred-and-twenty years was to be allowed them for repenting and forsaking their evil ways.[on this interval of a hundred-and-twenty years a Note, begun in the double columns below, is continued on the following pages.] The extract ends with an account of their refusing to attend to the warnings addressed to them.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique glimpse into some of the literary forms and modes of thought employed in Rabbinic literature. Rather than providing an exhaustive overview, the author has selected a handful of passages from Rabbinic texts and assembled them into a collection he calls "A Little of a Matter," from a phrase in Job 26:14. Each passage is then annotated through the inclusion of related passages from various Rabbinic writers, allowing readers to familiarize themselves with Rabbinic expressions and modes of thought. The significance of this book lies in its ability to provide a practical insight into Rabbinic literature, helping readers understand not only what Rabbinic writers said, but also how they said it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332973248_0
