众贤在《《托塞夫塔》》里教一样相类的话:我们的众贤进亚夫内的葡萄园时说:托拉将来要从以色列人中间被忘记,正如经上说:「主耶和华说:日子将到,我必命饥荒降在地上;人饥饿非因无饼,干渴非因无水,乃因不听耶和华的话」(阿摩司书 8:11)。
The Sages taught a similar idea in the Tosefta: When our Sages entered the vineyard in Yavne, they said: The Torah is destined to be forgotten from the Jewish people, as it is stated: “Behold, days are approaching, says the Lord God, and I will send forth a hunger in the land, not a hunger for bread and not a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of the Lord” (Amos 8:11).
