Yerushalmi Megillah 3:6 ירושלמי מגילה ג׳:ו׳

MISHNAH: On Passover one reads the section about holidays in Leviticus¹¹²Lev. 23:1–44.. On Pentecost, seven weeks¹¹³Deut. 16:9–12 to be repeated five times.. On New Year’s Day, in the Seventh month on the First of the month¹¹⁴Lev. 23:23–25 to be repeated five times. On the Day of Atonement, after the death¹¹⁵Lev. 17:1–34. On the first day of Tabernacles one reads the section about holidays in Leviticus; on the remaining days about the sacrifices of the holiday¹¹⁶The appropriate verses from Num. 29:17–39..

HALAKHAH: “On Pentecost, seven weeks.” There are Tannaim who state, in the third month¹¹⁷Ex. Chapters 19–20. While Pharisaic and Sadducee traditions differ about the date of Pentecost, both are in agreement that the holiday celebrates the anniversary of the theophany of Sinai and the giving of the Ten Commandments, the theme of these Chapters. Tosephta 3:5. “And on New Year’s Day, and in the Seventh month¹¹⁸In this version the reading is Num. 29:1–5..” There are Tannaim who state, and the Eternal counted Sarah¹¹⁹Gen. Chapter 21. The reading is appropriate because v. 21:17 states that a person is judged only by his state at the moment of judgment; if he is repentant then his prior misdeeds are disregarded; a proper reading for the Day of Judgment. Tosephta 3:6 For the Babylonian rite, Babli 31a.. “On the Day of Atonement, after the death. On the first day of Tabernacles one reads the section about holidays in Leviticus; on the remaining days about the sacrifices of the holiday.” Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa in the name of Rebbi Yasa, to teach you that the world only exists by the sacrifices.

¹²⁰From Ta`aniot 4:2, Notes 134–139. There, we stated: “Simeon the Just was of the remainders of the Great Assembly. He used to say, the world continues to exist by three things, by the Torah, by worship, and by labors of love” All three are in one verse: I shall put My word in your mouth, that is Torah. By the shadow of My hands I shall cover you, these are labors of love; to teach you that he who is occupied with Torah and labors of love merits to dwell in the shadow of the Holy One, praise to Him. That is what is written, how precious is Your grace, o God, and humans take shelter in Your wings’ shadow. To plant the Heavens and give foundation to the earth, these are the sacrifices, and to say to Zion, you are My people. Rebbi Ḥinena bar Pappa said, we went over all of Scripture and only found this one that Israel was called Zion, and to say to Zion, you are My people. There, we stated: “Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel says, the world is existing on three things, on justice, on truth, and on peace. All three are one: If justice is done, truth is accomplished. If truth is accomplished, peace is established. Rebbi Mana said, and all are in one verse, judge truth and law of peace in your gates.
