续上:饼(食物)是必需的,他们求得合宜,所以就合宜地在早晨给他们,那时有工夫预备。革玛拉评说:妥拉由此教人礼数:肉只宜在晚上吃,因摩西说「耶和华晚上必给你们肉吃」。革玛拉问:阿巴耶 岂不是说用餐只宜在白日?答:我们是说「如白日」——不必在白日吃,只要看得见所吃的。拉比阿哈·巴尔·雅各 说:起初以色列人像鸡在垃圾里啄食,有食物就抓来吃,直到摩西来了定下吃饭的时候——早晨与晚上。

革玛拉评说:妥拉从这里教导礼数:肉只宜在夜间吃,正如摩西对以色列人说:「耶和华晚上必给你们肉吃」(出埃及记 16:8)。
The Gemara comments: From here, the Torah teaches etiquette, that it is proper to eat meat only at night, as Moses said to the children of Israel: “This shall be, when the Lord will give you in the evening meat to eat” (Exodus 16:8).

革玛拉问:可是 阿巴耶 岂不是说过:用餐的人只宜在白日吃么?
The Gemara asks: But didn’t Abaye say that someone who has a meal should eat it only in the day?

革玛拉答:我们的意思是:如同白日。
The Gemara answers: We mean to say: Like day.

拉比阿哈·巴尔·雅各 说:起初,以色列民像在垃圾里啄食的鸡一样,无论什么时候有食物,他们就抓来吃,直到摩西来了,定下吃饭的固定时候,正如这节经文所暗示的。
Rabbi Aḥa bar Ya’akov said: At the beginning, the Jewish people were like chickens pecking at the garbage; any time there was food they grabbed it and ate it, until Moses came and set specific times to eat, as the verse implies.

他为他们定下早晨与晚上的用餐时候。
He set mealtimes for them in the morning and in the evening.
