续「各人吃大能者的食物」的另一解:「人」指约书亚——摩西在西奈山上四十日,约书亚在山下等候,为他一人降下的吗哪抵得上其余全体以色列人。「人」字与「嫩的儿子约书亚,是心中有圣灵的人」(民数记 27:18)同字相推。或问何不指摩西(「摩西为人极其谦和」)?答:「人」只能与「人」相推,不能与「那人」相推。
-
这节经文是指约书亚:摩西在山上那四十日,约书亚在西奈山等候摩西,为他降下的吗哪抵得上其余全体以色列民的。
the verse is referring to Joshua, for whom manna fell corresponding to all the rest of the Jewish people, when he waited for Moses at Mount Sinai during the forty days Moses was on the mountain.
-
经文暗示此事:这里写着「人」,那里也写着「人」:「嫩的儿子约书亚,是心中有圣灵的人,你将他领来,按手在他头上」(民数记 27:18)。
The verses allude to this: “Man” is written here, and “man” is written there: “Take to you Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom there is spirit, and lay your hand upon him” (Numbers 27:18).
-
革玛拉由此学得:这「人」就是约书亚。
From here, the Gemara learns that the “man” is Joshua.
-
革玛拉问:何不说这节经文是指摩西?论他经上写着:「摩西为人极其谦和」(民数记 12:3)。
The Gemara asks: Say that the verse is referring to Moses, about whom it is written: “Now the man Moses was very humble” (Numbers 12:3).
-
革玛拉答:我们可以从「人」一字推「人」一字的同字相推,却不能从「那人」一语推「人」一字的同字相推,而指摩西用的是「那人」。
The Gemara answers: We can learn a verbal analogy to the word “man” from the word “man,” but we cannot learn a verbal analogy to the word “man” from the phrase “the man,” which is used to refer to Moses.
