续 拉比阿奇瓦:但为保全一条命——例如那祭司能为一个被判死刑的人证明无罪——就是在他献祭时,也要把他从我的坛上带下来。这祭司的证词是否有实质尚不确定,尚且为救命把他从圣殿供职中带出来,而圣殿供职压过安息日;那么救命压过安息日,更是理所当然。拉比以利亚撒·本·亚撒利雅 应声说:割礼只矫正身体二百四十八肢体中的一个,尚且压过安息日;救全身(全身都投入诫命之中)压过安息日,更是理所当然。

但为保全一条性命——例如那祭司能为一个被判死刑的人证明无罪——人就是在他正献祭时,也把他从我的坛上带下来。
but to preserve a life, e.g., if the priest can testify to the innocence of one who is sentenced to death, one removes him even from on top of My altar, even while he is sacrificing an offering.

这祭司——他证词的话是否有实质尚不确定——尚且为救一条命而被带离圣殿的供职,而圣殿供职压过安息日;照样,更何况救人的性命压过安息日。
Just as this priest, about whom there is uncertainty whether there is substance to his words of testimony or whether there is no substance to his words, is taken from the Temple service in order to save a life, and Temple service overrides Shabbat, so too, a fortiori, saving a life overrides Shabbat.

拉比以利亚撒·本·亚撒利雅 回答说:割礼这条诫命只矫正身体二百四十八个肢体中的一个,尚且压过安息日;照样,更何况救一个人的全身——全身都投入诫命之中——压过安息日。
Rabbi Elazar ben Azarya answered and said: Just as the mitzva of circumcision, which rectifies only one of the 248 limbs of the body, overrides Shabbat, so too, a fortiori, saving one’s whole body, which is entirely involved in mitzvot, overrides Shabbat.
