He said to me that since the form was as such,
then how is the situation, while you see that it is a primary
pillar? And how can it be correct for it to have a simple existence, the meaning of which is
that it does not change with the change of materials and quantities? That is evidence
that it is neither a body nor an accident. Moreover,
the accident does not subsist by itself, while the form subsists by itself
primarily; thus it is distinct from the body in definition and meaning. It has been stated
that the body is that which is prior to division, and the form is
that which does not accept division; therefore it is other than the body.
And if it is other than the body, then it is spiritual without
fail; and if it is spiritual, then it does not perish
with the perishing of the body, but rather remains after its perishing, because
a thing only perishes by the perishing of its pillar and its substance,
and the form does not subsist through the body, but rather the body subsists
through it. Thus it functions like the soul in relation to the body, and the soul
does not perish with the perishing of the body; likewise, the form does not
perish with the perishing of the body. Therefore, all forms are remaining,
eternal, they do not be nullified and they do not vanish. And if they are
eternal and remaining, then one need not fear for them from non-existence
and vanishing. And what is meant by 'form' here is the rational soul
which is the form of the living rational body
insofar as it is a form governing it; it is that which does not perish
and is not nullified by the perishing of the body. As for the rest of the forms
which are non-rational, they are subject to perishing and do not remain
after the perishing of their materials, because their existence is in their materials.

Chapter 30
Rabbi Shimon said: When I and my son Rabbi Eleazar were in the cave,
we were praying and ascending above and descending below,
and we were seeing how many miracles and how many mighty acts the Holy One, blessed be He, performed.
Every single day there are many miracles and mighty acts that the Holy One, blessed be He, performs
with human beings every single day and at every single hour
and moment. And when we were in the cave, we were seeing the light
of the powerful lamp that illuminated and dwelled upon us.
And all that time that we were there, we did not need to eat
or drink, for the radiance of the glory of the Holy One, blessed be He, was nourishing and sustaining
us every single day. One day, my son
Rabbi Eleazar was sitting before me and was dozing. I saw him
weeping and laughing, and I was greatly astonished by it. After he awoke,
he said to me: Father, who is it that would not weep, and who is it that would not
rejoice? For I have seen in my dream how many miracles and how many mighty acts
the Holy One, blessed be He, is destined to perform for the people of the House of Israel in the world to come.
And when I saw their suffering in exile, I wept; and when I saw
the goodness and the consolation that the Holy One, blessed be He, is destined to perform for them and to take
vengeance upon the nations, I laughed. He said to him: My son, fortunate is
your portion that you have seen all this. Happy is the eye that has seen all these things.
And I saw nothing but the Holy One, blessed be He, who was sitting and delighting
with the righteous in the Garden of Eden. Fortunate is the portion of the righteous
in this world and in the world to come, who merit all this honor
and all this goodness that the Holy One, blessed be He, has hidden for the righteous for the world to come,
as it is said: No eye has seen, O God, besides You, what He will do for him who waits for Him.

A Tale
And there was this worshipful man who lived in a mountain,
and he had a righteous wife who worshipped God with her husband, and they were
worshipping God Exalted in that mountain, and a long time passed while they were worshipping
God Exalted night and day, and they did not slacken from the worship of God Exalted, nor
did they disobey God for the blink of an eye. So God Exalted sent to them an angel from
the angels in the form of a human to test them, while they were praying.
So that angel came to them and greeted them, and they returned the
greeting. Then that angel said to them: O servants of God,
I am a stranger and the path has grown long for me and I have become hungry,
and I ask of God and of your favor something to eat.
So that woman went down to that angel and said
to him: O servant of God, we have nothing of the food of this world,
nor do we know the taste of bread, nor cooked food, nor fruit;
rather, our food is from the herbs of this mountain and we drink from its water,
and we praise God Exalted for that. So that
angel said to her: O handmaid of God, how have you endured eating herbs,
and how have your souls been satisfied with this meager living while you are
in that mountain alone, with no companion or associate? So she said
to him: O servant of God, if you had tasted the sweetness of obedience and the love
of God Exalted, you would not find the food or drink of this world sweet.
And if you looked with the eye of your heart at what God Exalted has prepared for the people of His obedience,
of the houris and palaces, and they are in the Abode of Peace as neighbors of God Exalted,
you would not desire anything from the fleeting, lowly delights of the world.
And that angel wondered at her words and the beauty of her speech,
her eloquence, and the strength of her certainty in God Exalted. So that
angel brought a date from the dates of Paradise and gave it to that worshipper
and said to him: O servant of God, take this date, for it is from the dates of
Paradise, and eat it, for it will heal you of every disease and suffice you from
eating herbs. So that worshipper took that date from the hand
of that angel and rejoiced in it with great joy and thanked him for that.
And that worshipper opened his mouth and ate that date, and the
sweetness of worship left him, and the love of the world and its desires entered his heart,
and he forgot the bliss and pleasure he had been in, and what
And likewise, it should be known to you -
that the holy Mosaic law has forbidden
likewise all things that are inappropriate.
<del>And likewise, it should be known to you</del>
After that, you must know that God Almighty
is All-Knowing.
And likewise, if it is from endowed property, it is not permissible for anyone
to take anything from it, for that is a severe prohibition,
and its punishment from God is very great; and it is not permissible -
for anyone to be lenient in these matters, even if it were a small thing.
So it is not permissible to take anything from it, nor is it permissible to dispose of it.
After that, it is incumbent upon every one of Israel to
distance themselves from these very evil matters
so that they do not fall under the wrath of God; and whoever does
that is disobedient to God Almighty and deserves punishment.
And likewise, this should be of the utmost concern.
And likewise, if this is in the synagogue, it is not permissible
for anyone to speak worldly talk
at all; rather, all of their speech should be praise and glorification
to God Almighty; it is not permissible to speak the talk of people
at the time of prayer; rather, it is necessary for every one of
Israel that all of their speech be praise and glorification
to God Almighty, for that is the essence of correctness and the path
that leads to God.

And Rabbah bar Rav Huna said: Any person who possesses impudence,
it is permitted to call him 'wicked', as it is said: 'A wicked man hardens his face.'
And Rav Nachman bar Isaac said: It is permitted to hate him, as it is said:
⟦The hate of a fool also, etc.⟧ And Rav Aha bar Jacob said:
Gehenna has no power over him, as it is said: 'A wicked man hardens his face,'
and it is written there: 'and the boldness of his face shall be changed,' and change refers only to Gehenna,
as it is said: 'For then will I turn to the peoples a pure language, etc.'
And Rav Hisda said: Any person who possesses impudence,
it is certain that he has stumbled in transgression, as it is said: 'A wicked man hardens
his face, etc.' And Rav Nachman bar Isaac said: It is certain that he
is a mamzer, and it is written there: 'And a mamzer shall dwell in Ashdod, etc.'
And Rav Zera said: What is the meaning of that which is written: 'And I saw all the deeds
that were done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind'?
Even the speech that the Holy One, Blessed be He, has with the righteous
is vanity and a striving after wind compared to Torah and commandments.
And Rav Yehuda said in the name of Rav: Anyone who speaks obscenely,
they deepen Gehenna for him, as it is said: 'A deep pit is the mouth of
strange women; he that is abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein.' And Rav Yehuda further said in the name of
Rav: Anyone who speaks obscenely, troubles and evils
befall him, as it is said: 'And it shall come to pass, because ye hearken, etc.'
And Rav Sheshet said: Anyone who gazes at the little finger of a woman,
it is as if he gazes at the place of her nakedness, as it is said: 'Lust not after
her beauty in thy heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.' Rav Hisda said:
The leg of a woman is nakedness, as it is said: 'Uncover the leg, pass through the rivers,'
and it is written: 'Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen.' Samuel said:
The voice of a woman is nakedness, as it is said: 'For sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.'
Rav Sheshet said: The hair of a woman is nakedness, as it is said: 'Thy hair is
as a flock of goats, that trail down from mount Gilead.'

but the ark of God dwells within the curtain. And it was that night
that the word of God <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> came to Nathan,
saying: Go and say to my servant, to David, thus says
God: Shall you build me a house for my dwelling? For I have not dwelt
in a house from the day I brought up the children of Israel from Egypt
until this day, but I have been moving about in a tent and in a tabernacle.
In all [the places] where I have moved about among all the children of Israel, did I speak a word
with
any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people
Israel, saying: Why have you not built me a house of cedar?
Now, therefore, thus shall you say to my servant, to David: Thus says God of Hosts,
I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be a ruler over
my people, over Israel. And I have been with you wherever you went, and I have cut off
all your enemies from before you, and I will make for you a great name, like the name
of the great ones who are on the earth. And I will appoint a place for my people Israel
and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their place and be disturbed no more; and the
children of wickedness shall no longer afflict them, as at the first, and since the day
that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. And I will give you rest
from all your enemies; and God tells you that God will make a house
for you.
