חולין 101:2
Soncino English Talmud · Berean Standard Bible
And does R. Jose the Galilean hold the view that a comprehensive prohibition cannot [be superimposed upon an existing prohibition]? Behold it has been taught: If the Day of Atonement happened to fall on the Sabbath and a person inadvertently did work thereon, whence do we know that he is guilty for each separately? Because it is written: It is a sabbath, and also: It is the day of atonement; so R. Jose the Galilean. R. Akiba says: He has only incurred guilt once. — Rabin sent [from Palestine the following message] in the name of R. Jose son of R. Hanina: The construction of the teaching is as stated save that the authorities must be reversed. R. Isaac b. Jacob b. Giori sent the following in the name of R. Johanan: According to the view of R. Jose the Galilean, now that we have reversed the authorities, if a person being unaware that it was the Sabbath but knowing full well that it was the Day of Atonement [did work thereon] he is liable, if [he did so] knowing full well that it was the Sabbath but being unaware that it was the Day of Atonement, he is not liable. What is the reason [for this distinction]? — Abaye answered: The Sabbath is fixed and determined from all time, but the Day of Atonement is determined by the Beth Din. Said Raba to him: But in fact both [prohibitions] set in simultaneously! — Rather explained Raba: It was a time of religious persecution, and they sent word from there [Palestine] that the Day of Atonement of that year should be observed on a Sabbath. When Rabin came and also all those who came down [from Palestine to Babylon], they explained it as Raba did. R. JUDAH ARGUED, WAS NOT THE SCIATIC NERVE FORBIDDEN FROM THE TIME OF THE SONS OF JACOB? etc. It was taught: [The Rabbis] said to R. Judah: Does it say [in the Torah], ‘Therefore the children of Jacob eat not’? Surely it says: Therefore the children of Israel eat not. Now they were first styled the children of Israel only at [the giving of the law at] Sinai; therefore [we must say that] the law [of the sciatic nerve] was given at Sinai, but was written in its present place to indicate the reason why it was prohibited. Raba raised an objection against this. It is written: And the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father! — That was after the incident. R. Aha the son of Raba said to R. Ashi: Then it should be prohibited from that time onwards, should it not? — He replied: Was the Torah given at various times? And that time was neither the time of the incident nor the time of the giving of the Law. Our Rabbis taught: The [prohibition of eating a] limb [severed] from a living creature applies to cattle, wild beasts and to birds, whether they be clean or unclean: so R. Judah and R. Eleazar; but the Sages say: It applies only to the clean animals. Said R. Johanan: Both views were inferred from the same verse, viz., Only be steadfast in not eating the blood, for the blood is the life;
