两说排日:依 拉比约西,周三划界、周四分别;依众拉比,月朔是周二,周三说话、周四划界、周五分别。但出埃及记 19:10「今天明天」只见两日之分别,于 拉比约西 为难。

到周的第三日,神把在西奈山四围划界的诫命告诉他们。
On the third day of the week, God said to them the mitzva of setting boundaries around Mount Sinai.
-
到周的第四日,夫妻彼此分别。
On the fourth day of the week, the husbands and wives separated from one another.
-
众拉比却以为:月朔定在周的第二日;那一日因路途劳乏,神并没有对他们说什么。
And the Rabbis hold: On the second day of the week the New Moon was established, and on the second day of the week God did not say anything to them due to the weariness caused by their journey.
-
到周的第三日,神才对他们说:「你们要归我作祭司的国度,为圣洁的国民。这些话你要告诉以色列人」(出埃及记 19:6)。
On the third day of the week, God said to them: “And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation; these are the words that you shall speak to the children of Israel” (Exodus 19:6).
-
到周的第四日,神把在西奈山四围划界的诫命告诉他们。
On the fourth day of the week, God said to them the mitzva of setting boundaries around Mount Sinai.
-
到周的第五日,夫妻彼此分别。
On the fifth day of the week, the husbands and wives separated from one another.
-
革玛拉 出一难:经上岂不是说「耶和华又对摩西说:你往百姓那里去,叫他们今天明天自洁,又叫他们洗衣服」(出埃及记 19:10)么?这表明夫妻分别不过两日。
The Gemara raises an objection: Doesn’t the verse state: “And the Lord said to Moses: Go to the people and sanctify them today and tomorrow and let them wash their garments” (Exodus 19:10), indicating that the husbands and wives were separated for only two days?
-
这于 拉比约西 前面所说的三日之别,便难讲了。
This is difficult according to the opinion of Rabbi Yosei, who said earlier that the separation was for three days.
