Conclusion of Avot 5:20 - a prayer

May it be the will, O Lord our God, that your city be rebuilt speedily in our days and set our portion in the studying of your Torah.

(12)One thing God has spoken;
two things have I heard:
that might belongs to God,

(6) (Ibid. 20:8) "Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it": "Remember" and "Keep" (the Sabbath day to sanctify it [Devarim 5:12]) were both stated in one pronouncement.

— something beyond the powers of a human being to say. As it is written (Psalms 62:12) "One thing has G–d spoken, these two have I heard." (Jeremiah 23:29) "Is My word not like fire, says the L–rd (and like a hammer shattering rock!")

In chapters 1 and 2 of Amos, the prophet refers to "three transgressions...four" of Damascus, Gaza, Tyre, Edom, Ammonites, Moab, Judah, and Israel.

(6) Thus said GOD:
For three transgressions of Israel, For four, I will not revoke the decree: Because they have sold for silver Those whose cause was just, And the needy for a pair of sandals. (7)[Ah,] you who trample the heads of the poor Into the dust of the ground, And make the humble walk a twisted course! Father and son go to the same woman, And thereby profane My holy name.

(12) On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, you shall observe a sacred occasion: you shall not work at your occupations.—Seven days you shall observe a festival of י-הוה.— (13) You shall present a burnt offering, an offering by fire of pleasing odor to י-הוה: Thirteen bulls of the herd, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs; they shall be without blemish.

(17)Second day: Twelve bulls of the herd, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs, without blemish;

(31) And God saw all that had been made, and found it very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

(1) The heaven and the earth were finished, and all their array. (2) On the seventh day God finished the work that had been undertaken: [God] ceased on the seventh day from doing any of the work. (3) And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy—having ceased on it from all the work of creation that God had done.

(7) [There are] seven things [characteristic] in a clod/גלם/golem, and seven in a wise man/חכם/chacham:

1,

A wise man does not speak before one who is greater than he in wisdom,

2. And does not break into his fellow’s speech;

3. And is not hasty to answer;

4. He asks what is relevant, and

he answers to the point;

5. And he speaks of the first [point] first, and of the last [point] last;

6. And concerning that which he has not heard, he says: I have not heard;

7. And he acknowledges the truth.

And the reverse of these [are characteristic] in a clod/גלם/golem.

גולם / Golem - a vessel that has not been finished is called a 'Golem,' as taught in the Mishnah (Kelim 12:8): "unfinished wooden vessels are susceptible of receiving ritual impurity."

(15) My frame was not concealed from You
when I was shaped in a hidden place,
knit together in the recesses of the earth. (16) Your eyes saw my unformed limbs/ גלמי/'my golem';
they were all recorded in Your book;
in due time they were formed,
to the very last one of them.

Rabbi Yoḥanan bar Ḥanina says: Daytime is twelve hours long, and the day Adam the first man was created was divided as follows: In the first hour of the day, his dust was gathered. In the second, an undefined figure / גלם / golem was fashioned. In the third, his limbs were extended. In the fourth, a soul was cast into him. In the fifth, he stood on his legs. ...

Indeed, Rava created a man, a golem, using forces of sanctity. Rava sent his creation before Rabbi Zeira. Rabbi Zeira would speak to him but he would not reply. Rabbi Zeira said to him: You were created by one of the members of the group, one of the Sages. Return to your dust.

(10) There are four measures of human beings:

1. One that says: “mine is mine, and yours is yours”: this is an average measure; and some say this is the measure of Sodom.

2. [One that says:] “mine is yours and yours is mine”: is an unlearned person (am haaretz);

3. [One that says:] “mine is yours and yours is yours” is a pious person/חסיד/hasid.

4. [One that says:] “mine is mine, and yours is mine” is a wicked person.

(49) Only this was the sin of your sister Sodom: arrogance! She and her daughters had plenty of bread and untroubled tranquility; yet she did not support the poor and the needy. (50) In their haughtiness, they committed abomination before Me; and so I removed them, as you saw.

(6)“I will descend now and see, if they [=the people of Sodom] have acted in accordance with its/her outcry that has reached me, destruction, and if not, I will know” (Genesis 18:21).

Rabbi Levi said: [God said:] ‘Even if I would want to keep silent, the plight of a certain girl does not allow me to be silent.’ There was an incident involving two girls who went down to drink and to draw water. One said to the other: ‘Why is your face so sickly?’ She said to her: ‘Her food supply is depleted and she is close to death [from starvation].’ What did she [the other girl] do? She filled her jug with flour and exchanged that jug for the jug that was in the hand of the other. When they realized what she had done, they took her and burned her.

The Holy One blessed be He said: ‘Even if I would want to keep silent, the plight of that girl does not allow me to be silent.’ That is what is written: “In accordance with her outcry.” It does not say: “In accordance with their outcry,” but rather, her outcry. Which is that? The plight of that girl. ...
