续 拉比马提亚·本·哈拉什 之问:第二节是「锡安城的威荣全都离去」(耶利米哀歌 1:6)——「威荣」读作「内室」,指藏在最深内室里的东西,就是约柜。他问 拉比西缅·本·约哈伊 对此怎么说;拉比西缅·本·约哈伊 答:我说约柜就地埋藏、未被掳去,因经上说「直到今日还在那里」(列王纪上 8:8)。

「锡安城的威荣全都离去」(耶利米哀歌 1:6)。
all her splendor” (Lamentations 1:6).
-
「她的威荣」是什么意思?
What is the meaning of: “All her splendor [hadara]”?
原文 美好(她的威荣)与 ḥadra(她的内室)音近,本段解经系于这一双关,中文接不住。
-
意思是:她的内室,就是藏在最深内室里的那样东西,即约柜。
It means: Her chamber [ḥadra], i.e., something that was hidden within the innermost chambers, namely the Ark.
同上。

你,拉比西缅·本·约哈伊,对此你怎么说呢?
You, Rabbi Shimon ben Yoḥai, what do you say in response to this?

他对他说:照我所说,约柜是在原处埋藏了,并没有被掳去,正如经上说:「这杠甚长,杠头在内殿前的圣所可以看见,在外面却不能看见;直到今日还在那里」(列王纪上 8:8)。
He said to him: As I say, the Ark was buried in its place and not exiled, as it is stated: “And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the sacred place before the partition, but they could not be seen without; and they are there to this day” (I Kings 8:8).
