「第六」是从安营算起(拉瓦),还是从起行算起(拉夫阿哈·巴尔·雅各)。两说之别在玛拉所吩咐的安息日之律里有没有安息日界限:无界限的,安息日可从 利非订 起行;有界限的,便不可。
-
——是他们安营之后的第六日。
the sixth day from their encampment.
-
拉夫阿哈·巴尔·雅各 说:是他们起行之后的第六日。
Rav Aḥa bar Ya’akov said: The sixth day from the start of their journey.
-
他们同在那一个主日离了 利非订,来到旷野安营。
They left Refidim and arrived and camped in the desert on the same Sunday.
-
拉瓦 与 拉夫阿哈·巴尔·雅各 两下所争的,是在玛拉所吩咐以色列人的安息日之诫,因为十诫的第四条写着:「当照耶和华你神所吩咐的守安息日为圣日」(申命记 5:12)。
And Rava and Rav Aḥa bar Ya’akov disagree with regard to the mitzva of Shabbat commanded to the Jewish people at Mara, as it is written in the fourth commandment: “Observe the Shabbat day to keep it holy as the Lord your God commanded you” (Deuteronomy 5:11).
-
拉夫犹大 奉 拉夫 之名说:那「所吩咐你的」是指在玛拉所吩咐的,因为经上说:「耶和华在那里为他们定了律例、典章,在那里试验他们」(出埃及记 15:25)。
And Rav Yehuda said that Rav said: As He commanded you in Mara, as it is stated: “There He made for him a statute and an ordinance, and there He proved him” (Exodus 15:25).
-
他们所争的是:一位夫子以为,那时所吩咐的是安息日,却没有吩咐安息日的界限。
Their dispute was: One Master held: They were commanded about Shabbat, but they were not commanded about Shabbat boundaries.
-
既是这样,安息日从 利非订 起行便是可以的,因为安息日界限之禁那时还没有立。
Therefore, it was permitted to travel from Refidim on Shabbat, because the restriction of Shabbat boundaries was not yet in effect.
-
另一位夫子却以为:连界限也一并吩咐了,所以安息日不可离开 利非订。
And one Master held: They were also commanded about the boundaries, and therefore, it was prohibited to leave Refidim on Shabbat.
