灯高过二十肘者不合式,与棚顶、巷梁同理——人不抬头看那么高。又解创世记 37:24「坑里没有水」。

修殿节 的灯放在二十肘以上,是不合式的;正如 棚 的顶高过二十肘不合式,巷道的梁——那是为立 合界 而设的第四面墙——高过二十肘也不合式。
A Hanukkah lamp that one placed above twenty cubits is invalid, just as a sukka whose roofing is more than twenty cubits high, and just as an alleyway whose beam, its symbolic fourth partition in order to place an eiruv, is more than twenty cubits high, are invalid.
-
这三样的缘故是一样的:人平常不抬起头来,看二十肘以上的东西。
The reason is the same in all three cases: People do not usually raise their heads and see objects at a height above twenty cubits.
-
这几样既都要人看得见,放得比那高度还高,就都算不合式了。
As there is a requirement to see all of these, they are deemed invalid when placed above that height.

革玛拉 又引 拉夫卡哈纳 说 拉夫拿单·巴尔·马纽米 奉 拉夫坦胡姆 之名所教的另一句:论到约瑟,经上写着「他们把他丢在坑里;那坑是空的,里头没有水」(创世记 37:24),这是什么意思呢?
And the Gemara cites another statement that Rav Kahana said that Rav Natan bar Manyumi taught in the name of Rav Tanḥum: What is the meaning of the verse that is written with regard to Joseph: “And they took him, and cast him into the pit; and the pit was empty, there was no water in it” (Genesis 37:24)?
-
既说了「那坑是空的」,我岂不已经知道里头没有水么?
By inference from that which is stated: And the pit was empty, don’t I know that there was no water in it?
-
那么经上何必再说「里头没有水」呢?
Rather, why does the verse say: There was no water in it?
-
那一句是要着意教我们:里头没有水,却有蛇与蝎子。
The verse comes to emphasize and teach that there was no water in it, but there were snakes and scorpions in it.
