Passage וּבְמוֹשַׁב לֵצִים לֹא יָשָׁב.¹ אֲבָל שְׁנַיִם שֶׁיּוֹשְׁבִין וְיֵשׁ בֵּינֵיהֶם דִּבְרֵי תוֹרָה, שְׁכִינָה שְׁרוּיָה בֵינֵיהֶם, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: אָז נִדְבְּרוּ יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה אִישׁ אֶל רֵעֵהוּ, וַיַּקְשֵׁב יְהֹוָה וַיִּשְׁמָע, וַיִּכָּתֵב סֵפֶר זִכָּרוֹן לְפָנָיו לְיִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה וּלְחֹשְׁבֵי שְׁמוֹ.² אֵין לִי אֶלָּא שְׁנַיִם, מִנַּיִן אֲפִילוּ אֶחָד שֶׁיּוֹשֵׁב וְעוֹסֵק בַּתּוֹרָה שֶׁהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא קוֹבֵעַ לוֹ שָׂכָר, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: יֵשֵׁב בָּדָד וְיִדֹּם כִּי נָטַל עָלָיו.³ stated: In the company of scorners he does not sit.¹ But if two sit together and do exchange words of Torah, the Divine Presence rests between them, as it is stated: Then the God-fearing conversed with one another, and the Lord hearkened and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the Lord and who meditate on [the greatness of] His Name.² From this verse we learn only that it is so with regard to two people; from where do we learn that even one person who sits and occupies himself with Torah, the Holy One, blessed be He, sets a reward for him? From the verse: He sits alone and [studies] in stillness; indeed, he takes [the reward] unto himself.³ uv|mo|SHAV le|TZIM lo ya|SHAV. a|VAL sh'NA|yim she|yosh|VIN ve|YESH bei|nei|HEM div|REI to|RAH, sh'chi|NAH sh'ru|YAH vei|nei|HEM, she|ne-e|MAR: az nid|be|RU yir|EI a|do|NAI ish el re-e|HU, va|yak|SHEV a|do|NAI va|yish|MA, va|yi|ka|TEV SE|fer zi|ka|RON le|fa|NAV le|yir|EI a|do|NAI u|le|chosh|VEI sh'MO. ein li e|LA sh'NA|yim, mi|na|YIN a|fi|LU e|CHAD she|yo|SHEV ve-o|SEK ba|to|RAH she|ha|ka|DOSH ba|RUCH hu ko|VEA lo sa|CHAR, she|ne-e|MAR: ye|SHEV ba|DAD ve|yi|DOM ki na|TAL a|LAV. u|ve|mo|SHAV le|TZIM loʾ ya|SHAV. ʾa|VAL she|NA|yim shey|yo|she|VIN ve|YESH be|ne|HEM div|RE tho|RAH, she|khi|NAH she|ru|YAH ve|ne|HEM, shen|ne|ʾe|MAR: ʾaz nidh|be|RU yir|ʾE a|do|NAI ʾish ʾel re|ʿe|HU, vay|yaq|SHEV a|do|NAI vay|yish|MAʿ, vay|yik|ka|THEV SE|fer zik|ka|RON le|fa|NAV le|yir|ʾE a|do|NAI u|le|ḥo|she|VE she|MO. ʾen li ʾel|LAʾ she|NA|yim, min|na|YIN ʾa|fi|LU ʾe|ḥADH shey|yo|SHEV ve|ʿo|SEQ bat|to|RAH she|haq|qa|DHOSH ba|RUKH huʾ qo|VEAʿ lo śa|KHAR, shen|ne|ʾe|MAR: ye|SHEV ba|DHADH ve|yid|DOM ki na|ṭAL ʿa|LAV. u|ve|mo|SHAV le|TZIM lo ya|SHAV. a|VAL she|NA|yim shey|yo|she|VIN ve|YESH be|ne|HEM div|RE to|RAH, she|khi|NAH she|ru|YAH ve|ne|HEM, shen|ne|e|MAR: az nid|be|RU yir|E a|do|NAI ish el re|ʿe|HU, vay|yaq|SHEV a|do|NAI vay|yish|MAʿ, vay|yik|ka|TEV SE|fer zik|ka|RON le|fa|NAV le|yir|E a|do|NAI u|le|ḥo|she|VE she|MO. en li el|LA she|NA|yim, min|na|YIN a|fi|LU e|ḥAD shey|yo|SHEV ve|ʿo|SEQ bat|to|RAH she|haq|qa|DOSH ba|RUKH hu qo|VEAʿ lo sa|KHAR, shen|ne|e|MAR: ye|SHEV ba|DAD ve|yid|DOM ki na|TAL ʿa|LAV. uv'|moy|SHAV lei|TZIM loy yo|SHOV. a|VOL sh'NA|yim she|yoysh'|VIN v'YEISH bei|nei|HEM div|REI soy|ROH, sh'chi|NOH sh'ru|YOH vei|nei|HEM, she|ne-e|MAR: oz nid|b'RU yir|EI a|do|NOY ish el rei-ei|HU, va|yak|SHEIV a|do|NOY va|yish|MO, va|yi|ko|SEIV SEI|fer zi|ko|ROYN l'fo|NOV l'yir|EI a|do|NOY ul'|choysh'|VEI sh'MOY. ein li e|LO sh'NA|yim, mi|na|YIN a|fi|LU e|CHOD she|yoy|SHEIV v'oy|SEIK ba|toy|ROH she|ha|ko|DOYSH bo|RUCH hu koy|VEIA loy so|CHOR, she|ne-e|MAR: yei|SHEIV bo|DOD v'yi|DOYM ki no|TAL o|LOV.

Rabbi Shimon said: Three who ate at one table and did not speak words of Torah there, it is as if they had eaten of sacrifices to the dead [idols], for it is said: Indeed, all tables are full of filthy vomit [when] there is no [mention of] God.⁴ But three who ate at one table and did speak words of Torah there, it is as if they had eaten from the table of God, for it is stated: And he said to me, this is the table which is before the Lord.⁵ ג ra|BI shim|ON o|MER: sh'lo|SHAH she-och|LU al shul|CHAN e|CHAD, ve|LO a|me|RU a|LAV div|REI to|RAH, ke-i|LU och|LU mi|ziv|CHEI me|TIM, she|ne-e|MAR: ki kol shul|cha|NOT ma|le|U ki tzo-AH b'LI ma|KOM. a|VAL sh'lo|SHAH she-och|LU al shul|CHAN e|CHAD ve-a|me|RU a|LAV div|REI to|RAH, ke-i|LU och|LU mi|shul|cha|NO shel ma|KOM, she|ne-e|MAR: vay|da|BER e|LAI, zeh ha|shul|CHAN a|SHER lif|NEI a|do|NAI. ג rab|BI shim|ʿON ʾo|MER: she|lo|SHAH she|ʾokh|LU ʿal shul|ḥAN ʾe|ḥADH, ve|LOʾ ʾa|me|RU ʿa|LAV div|RE tho|RAH, ke|ʾil|LU ʾokh|LU miz|ziv|ḥE me|THIM, shen|ne|ʾe|MAR: ki kol shul|ḥa|NOTH ma|le|ʾU qiʾ tzo|ʾAH be|LI ma|QOM. ʾa|VAL she|lo|SHAH she|ʾokh|LU ʿal shul|ḥAN ʾe|ḥADH ve|ʾa|me|RU ʿa|LAV div|RE tho|RAH, ke|ʾil|LU ʾokh|LU mis|shul|ḥa|NO shel ma|QOM, shen|ne|ʾe|MAR: va|ye|dhab|BER ʾe|LAI, zeh has|shul|ḥAN ʾa|SHER lif|NE a|do|NAI. ג rab|BI shim|ʿON o|MER: she|lo|SHAH she|okh|LU ʿal shul|ḥAN e|ḥAD, ve|LO a|me|RU ʿa|LAV div|RE to|RAH, ke|il|LU okh|LU miz|ziv|ḥE me|TIM, shen|ne|e|MAR: ki kol shul|ḥa|NOT ma|le|U qi tzo|AH be|LI ma|QOM. a|VAL she|lo|SHAH she|okh|LU ʿal shul|ḥAN e|ḥAD ve|a|me|RU ʿa|LAV div|RE to|RAH, ke|il|LU okh|LU mis|shul|ḥa|NO shel ma|QOM, shen|ne|e|MAR: va|ye|dab|BER e|LAI, zeh has|shul|ḥAN a|SHER lif|NE a|do|NAI. ג ra|BI shim|OYN oy|MEIR: sh'loy|SHOH she-och|LU al shul|CHON e|CHOD, v'LOY om'|RU o|LOV div|REI soy|ROH, k'i|LU och|LU mi|ziv|CHEI mei|SIM, she|ne-e|MAR: ki kol shul|cho|NOYS mol'|U ki tzoy-OH b'LI mo|KOYM. a|VOL sh'loy|SHOH she-och|LU al shul|CHON e|CHOD v'om'|RU o|LOV div|REI soy|ROH, k'i|LU och|LU mi|shul|cho|NOY shel mo|KOYM, she|ne-e|MAR: vay'|da|BEIR ei|LAI, zeh ha|shul|CHON a|SHER lif|NEI a|do|NOY.

Rabbi Chalafta ben Dosa of Kfar Chananya said: If ten people sit together and occupy themselves with Torah, the Divine Presence rests among them, as it is said: God stands in the assembly of the Lord.⁶ From where do we learn that the same is true even of five? For it is said: He has founded His band upon the earth.⁷ From where do we learn that the same is true even of three? For it is said: Among the judges He renders judgment.⁸ From where do we learn that the same is true even of two?
