凡圣幕里作过的工,纵有相似的也各列一样。何不把「舂」也列上?阿巴耶 与 拉瓦 各有一解。
-
纵另有一样工与它相似,密释纳也把它列出来。
even though there is a different labor that is similar to it, the mishna enumerated it.
-
凡在圣幕里作过的工,都是要紧的。
Every labor that was performed in the Tabernacle is significant.
-
革玛拉 问:那么何不把「舂」也列上呢?圣幕里的麦子本是舂过、去了外皮的。
The Gemara asks: And let him enumerate the labor of pounding as well, as wheat was pounded to remove its outer kernel in the Tabernacle.
-
阿巴耶 说:舂不是作饼所必经的一步,因为穷人吃饼并不先把麦子舂去麸皮。
Abaye said: The labor of pounding is not one of the essential stages in the baking of bread, as paupers eat their bread without pounding the wheat to remove the bran.
-
既然如此,那位 坦拿 既列了打场,作饼那一串里就不必再列舂了。
Therefore, since the tanna enumerated threshing, there was no need to include pounding among the labors enumerated in the breadmaking process.
-
拉瓦 另有一解:教这一段密释纳的是哪一位 坦拿 呢?
Rava said a different explanation: Who is the tanna of this mishna?
-
是拉比犹大·哈纳西——他说过:工作之父的数目是四十减一,那数目是由经文的暗指推出来的。
It is Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi, who said: The primary categories of labor are forty-less-one, a number derived from a textual allusion.
-
既然如此,那一列便添不得。
Therefore, the list cannot be expanded.
-
那位 坦拿 若把舂也列上,便成了四十样,不是三十九样了。
And had the tanna enumerated pounding, there would be forty labors rather than thirty-nine.
-
革玛拉 问:那么把这几样里的一样(拣择或扬场)除去、把舂添进来,数目岂不照旧么?
The Gemara asks: And let him take out one of these, selecting or winnowing, and insert pounding, thereby leaving the number intact.
-
倒不如说:那位 坦拿 所以不列舂,还是依 阿巴耶 所解的才讲得明白。
Rather, the reason that the tanna did not include pounding is clear, according to the explanation of Abaye.
