Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said: Each and every day a Heavenly Voice goes forth from Mount Choreb, proclaiming and saying, “Woe to the people because of [their] affront to the Torah!” For whoever does not occupy himself with the Torah is called “censured,” as it is stated: [Like] a golden ring in a swine’s snout is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.¹ And it is further stated: The Tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, charut (engraved) on the Tablets.² Do not read charut but cherut (freedom), for there is no free man except one who occupies himself with the study of the Torah; and anyone who occupies himself with the study of the Torah becomes elevated, as it is stated: From Mattanah [“the gift of Torah”] to Nachaliel [“the heritage of God”], and from Nachaliel to Bamot [“high places”].³ ב a|MAR ra|BI ye|ho|SHUA ben le|VI, b'CHOL yom va|YOM bat kol yo|TZEIT me|HAR cho|REV u|mach|re|ZET ve-o|me|RET: oy la|HEM lab|ri|YOT* me-el|bo|NAH shel to|RAH, she|KOL mi she-ei|NO o|SEK ba|to|RAH nik|RA na|ZUF, she|ne-e|MAR: NE|zem za|HAV be-AF cha|ZIR, i|SHAH ya|FAH ve|sa|RAT ta-AM. ve-o|MER: ve|ha|lu|CHOT ma-a|SEH e|lo|HIM he|MAH, ve|ha|mich|TAV mich|TAV e|lo|HIM hu, cha|RUT al ha|lu|CHOT, al tik|RI cha|RUT e|LA che|RUT, she-EIN le|CHA ben cho|RIN, e|LA mi she-o|SEK b'tal|MUD to|RAH, ve|CHOL mi she-o|SEK b'tal|MUD to|RAH, ha|REI zeh mit|a|LEH, she|ne-e|MAR: u|mi|ma|ta|NAH na|cha|li-EL, u|mi|na|cha|li-EL ba|MOT. ב ʾa|MAR rab|BI ye|ho|SHUAʿ ben le|VI, be|KHOL yom va|YOM bath qol yo|TZEʾTH me|HAR ḥo|REV u|makh|re|ZETH ve|ʾo|me|RETH: ʾoy la|HEM lab|be|riy|YOTH* me|ʿel|bo|NAH shel to|RAH, shek|KOL mi she|ʾe|NO ʿo|SEQ bat|to|RAH niq|RAʾ na|ZUF, shen|ne|ʾe|MAR: NE|zem za|HAV be|ʾAF ḥa|ZIR, ʾis|SHAH ya|FAH ve|sa|RATH ṭa|ʿAM. ve|ʾo|MER: ve|hal|lu|ḥOTH ma|ʿa|śEH ʾe|lo|HIM hem|MAH, ve|ham|mikh|TAV mikh|TAV ʾe|lo|HIM huʾ, ḥa|RUTH ʿal hal|lu|ḥOTH, ʾal tiq|RI ḥa|RUTH ʾel|LAʾ ḥe|RUTH, she|ʾEN le|KHA ben ḥo|RIN, ʾel|LAʾ mi she|ʿo|SEQ be|thal|MUDH to|RAH, ve|KHOL mi she|ʿo|SEQ be|thal|MUDH to|RAH, ha|RE zeh mith|ʿal|LEH, shen|ne|ʾe|MAR: u|mim|mat|ta|NAH na|ḥa|li|ʾEL, u|min|na|ḥa|li|ʾEL ba|MOTH. ב a|MAR rab|BI ye|ho|SHUAʿ ben le|VI, be|KHOL yom va|YOM bat qol yo|TZET me|HAR ḥo|REV u|makh|re|ZET ve|o|me|RET: oy la|HEM lab|be|riy|YOT* me|ʿel|bo|NAH shel to|RAH, shek|KOL mi she|e|NO ʿo|SEQ bat|to|RAH niq|RA na|ZUF, shen|ne|e|MAR: NE|zem za|HAV be|AF ḥa|ZIR, is|SHAH ya|FAH ve|sa|RAT ta|ʿAM. ve|o|MER: ve|hal|lu|ḥOT ma|ʿa|SEH e|lo|HIM hem|MAH, ve|ham|mikh|TAV mikh|TAV e|lo|HIM hu, ḥa|RUT ʿal hal|lu|ḥOT, al tiq|RI ḥa|RUT el|LA ḥe|RUT, she|EN le|KHA ben ḥo|RIN, el|LA mi she|ʿo|SEQ be|tal|MUD to|RAH, ve|KHOL mi she|ʿo|SEQ be|tal|MUD to|RAH, ha|RE zeh mit|ʿal|LEH, shen|ne|e|MAR: u|mim|mat|ta|NAH na|ḥa|li|EL, u|min|na|ḥa|li|EL ba|MOT. ב o|MAR ra|BI y'hoy|SHUA ben lei|VI, b'CHOL yoym vo|YOYM bas koyl yoy|TZEIS mei|HAR choy|REIV u|mach|re|ZES v'oy|me|RES: oy lo|HEM lab'|ri|YOYS* mei-el|boy|NOH shel toy|ROH, she|KOL mi she-ei|NOY oy|SEIK ba|toy|ROH nik|RO no|ZUF, she|ne-e|MAR: NE|zem zo|HOV b'AF cha|ZIR, i|SHOH yo|FOH v'so|RAS to-AM. v'oy|MEIR: v'ha|lu|CHOYS ma-a|SEIH e|loy|HIM hei|MOH, v'ha|mich|TOV mich|TAV e|loy|HIM hu, cho|RUS al ha|lu|CHOYS, al tik|RI cho|RUS e|LO chei|RUS, she-EIN l'CHO ben choy|RIN, e|LO mi she-oy|SEIK b'sal|MUD toy|ROH, v'CHOL mi she-oy|SEIK b'sal|MUD toy|ROH, ha|REI zeh mis|a|LEH, she|ne-e|MAR: u|mi|ma|to|NOH na|cha|li-EIL, u|mi|na|cha|li-EIL bo|MOYS.

He who learns from his fellowman a single chapter, a single Torah law, a single verse, a single [Biblical or Rabbinic] statement, or even a single letter, must show him honor. For so we find concerning David, King of Israel, who learned from Achitophel only two things, yet he called him his teacher, his guide, his mentor, as it is stated: You are a man equal to me; you are my guide and my mentor.⁴ Surely an obvious inference can be drawn: If David, King of Israel, who learnt from Achitophel only two things called him his teacher, his guide, his mentor, one who learns from his peer a single chapter, a single Torah law, a single verse, a single statement, or even a single letter, how much more ought he to treat him with honor. And honor is due only for Torah, as it is stated: The wise shall inherit honor⁵...and the perfect shall inherit good.⁶ And the [true] good is only Torah, as it is stated: I have given ג ha|lo|MED me|cha|ve|RO PE|rek e|CHAD, o ha|la|CHAH a|CHAT, o pa|SUK e|CHAD, o di|BUR e|CHAD, o a|fi|LU ot a|CHAT, tza|RICH lin|HOG bo ka|VOD, she|KEN ma|tzi|NU b'da|VID ME|lech yis|ra-EL, she|LO la|MAD me-a|chi|to|FEL e|LA sh'NEI d'va|RIM bil|VAD*, k'ra-O ra|BO a|lu|FO u|me|yu|DAV*, she|ne-e|MAR: ve-a|TAH e|NOSH ke-er|KI, a|lu|FI u|me|yu|da-I. va|ha|LO d'va|RIM kal va|CHO|mer, u|MAH da|VID ME|lech yis|ra-EL she|LO la|MAD me-a|chi|to|FEL e|LA sh'NEI d'va|RIM bil|VAD*, k'ra-O ra|BO a|lu|FO u|me|yu|DAV*, ha|lo|MED me|cha|ve|RO PE|rek e|CHAD, o ha|la|CHAH a|CHAT, o pa|SUK e|CHAD, o di|BUR e|CHAD, o a|fi|LU ot a|CHAT, al a|CHAT ka|MAH ve|cha|MAH she|tza|RICH lin|HOG bo ka|VOD. ve-EIN ka|VOD e|LA to|RAH, she|ne-e|MAR: ka|VOD cha|cha|MIM yin|cha|LU, ut|mi|MIM* yin|cha|LU tov. ve-EIN tov e|LA to|RAH, she|ne-e|MAR: ki LE|kach tov na|TA|ti ג hal|lo|MEDH me|ḥa|ve|RO PE|req ʾe|ḥADH, ʾo ha|la|KHAH ʾa|ḥATH, ʾo pa|SUQ ʾe|ḥADH, ʾo dib|BUR ʾe|ḥADH, ʾo ʾa|fi|LU ʾoth ʾa|ḥATH, tza|RIKH lin|HOGH bo ka|VODH, shek|KEN ma|tzi|NU be|dha|VIDH ME|lekh yiś|ra|ʾEL, shel|LOʾ la|MADH me|ʾa|ḥi|tho|FEL ʾel|LAʾ she|NE dhe|va|RIM bil|VADH*, qe|ra|ʾO rab|BO ʾal|lu|FO u|me|yud|DAʿV*, shen|ne|ʾe|MAR: ve|ʾat|TAH ʾe|NOSH ke|ʿer|KI, ʾal|lu|FI u|me|yud|da|ʿI. va|ha|LOʾ dhe|va|RIM qal va|ḥO|mer, u|MAH dha|VIDH ME|lekh yiś|ra|ʾEL shel|LOʾ la|MADH me|ʾa|ḥi|tho|FEL ʾel|LAʾ she|NE dhe|va|RIM bil|VADH*, qe|ra|ʾO rab|BO ʾal|lu|FO u|me|yud|DAʿV*, hal|lo|MEDH me|ḥa|ve|RO PE|req ʾe|ḥADH, ʾo ha|la|KHAH ʾa|ḥATH, ʾo pa|SUQ ʾe|ḥADH, ʾo dib|BUR ʾe|ḥADH, ʾo ʾa|fi|LU ʾoth ʾa|ḥATH, ʿal ʾa|ḥATH kam|MAH ve|kham|MAH shet|tza|RIKH lin|HOGH bo ka|VODH. ve|ʾEN ka|VODH ʾel|LAʾ to|RAH, shen|ne|ʾe|MAR: ka|VODH ḥa|kha|MIM yin|ḥa|LU, u|the|mi|MIM* yin|ḥa|LU ṭov. ve|ʾEN ṭov ʾel|LAʾ to|RAH, shen|ne|ʾe|MAR: ki LE|qaḥ ṭov na|THAT|ti ג hal|lo|MED me|ḥa|ve|RO PE|req e|ḥAD, o ha|la|KHAH a|ḥAT, o pa|SUQ e|ḥAD, o dib|BUR e|ḥAD, o a|fi|LU ot a|ḥAT, tza|RIKH lin|HOG bo ka|VOD, shek|KEN ma|tzi|NU be|da|VID ME|lekh yis|ra|EL, shel|LO la|MAD me|a|ḥi|to|FEL el|LA she|NE de|va|RIM bil|VAD*, qe|ra|O rab|BO al|lu|FO u|me|yud|DAʿV*, shen|ne|e|MAR: ve|at|TAH e|NOSH ke|ʿer|KI, al|lu|FI u|me|yud|da|ʿI. va|ha|LO de|va|RIM qal va|ḥO|mer, u|MAH da|VID ME|lekh yis|ra|EL shel|LO la|MAD me|a|ḥi|to|FEL el|LA she|NE de|va|RIM bil|VAD*, qe|ra|O rab|BO al|lu|FO u|me|yud|DAʿV*, hal|lo|MED me|ḥa|ve|RO PE|req e|ḥAD, o ha|la|KHAH a|ḥAT, o pa|SUQ e|ḥAD, o dib|BUR e|ḥAD, o a|fi|LU ot a|ḥAT, ʿal a|ḥAT kam|MAH ve|kham|MAH shet|tza|RIKH lin|HOG bo ka|VOD. ve|EN ka|VOD el|LA to|RAH, shen|ne|e|MAR: ka|VOD ḥa|kha|MIM yin|ḥa|LU, u|te|mi|MIM* yin|ḥa|LU tov. ve|EN tov el|LA to|RAH, shen|ne|e|MAR: ki LE|qaḥ tov na|TAT|ti ג ha|loy|MEID mei|cha|vei|ROY PE|rek e|CHOD, oy ha|lo|CHOH a|CHAS, oy po|SUK e|CHOD, oy di|BUR e|CHOD, oy a|fi|LU oys a|CHAS, tzo|RICH lin|HOYG boy ko|VOYD, she|KEIN mo|tzi|NU b'do|VID ME|lech yis|ro-EIL, she|LOY lo|MAD mei-a|chi|soy|FEL e|LO sh'NEI d'vo|RIM bil|VAD*, k'ro-OY ra|BOY a|lu|FOY um'|yu|DOV*, she|ne-e|MAR: v'a|TOH e|NOYSH k'er|KI, a|lu|FI um'|yu|do-I. va|ha|LOY d'vo|RIM kal vo|CHOY|mer, u|MOH do|VID ME|lech yis|ro-EIL she|LOY lo|MAD mei-a|chi|soy|FEL e|LO sh'NEI d'vo|RIM bil|VAD*, k'ro-OY ra|BOY a|lu|FOY um'|yu|DOV*, ha|loy|MEID mei|cha|vei|ROY PE|rek e|CHOD, oy ha|lo|CHOH a|CHAS, oy po|SUK e|CHOD, oy di|BUR e|CHOD, oy a|fi|LU oys a|CHAS, al a|CHAS ka|MOH v'cha|MOH she|tzo|RICH lin|HOYG boy ko|VOYD. v'EIN ko|VOYD e|LO toy|ROH, she|ne-e|MAR: ko|VOYD cha|cho|MIM yin|cho|LU, us'|mi|MIM* yin|cha|LU toyv. v'EIN toyv e|LO toy|ROH, she|ne-e|MAR: ki LE|kach toyv no|SA|ti parent /siddur/tehillat-hashem-annotated.xml prev /siddur/tehillat-hashem-annotated/596-597-291-291-pirkei-avot-chapter-six.xml next /siddur/tehillat-hashem-annotated/600-601-293-293-pirkei-avot-chapter-six.xml
