l.wnsdn.m.,sdn,mnds smdmsd Chapter 11—Jewish Views on Trade, Tradesmen, and Trades’ Guilds We read in the Mishnah (Kidd. iv. 14) as follows: “Rabbi Meir said: Let a man always teach his son a cleanly and a light trade; and let him pray to Him whose are wealth and riches; for there is no trade which has not both poverty and riches, and neither does poverty come from the trade nor yet riches, but everything according to one’s deserving (merit). Rabbi Simeon, the son of Eleazer, said: Hast thou all thy life long seen a beast or a bird which has a trade? Still they are nourished, and that without anxious care. And if they, who are created only to serve me, shall not I expect to be nourished without anxious care, who am created to serve my Maker? Only that if I have been evil in my deeds, I forfeit my support. Abba Gurjan of Zadjan said, in name of Abba Gurja: Let not a man bring up his son to be a donkey-driver, nor a camel-driver, nor a barber, nor a sailor, nor a shepherd, nor a pedlar; for their occupations are those of thieves. In his name, Rabbi Jehudah said: Donkey-drivers are mostly wicked; camel-drivers mostly honest; sailors mostly pious; the best among physicians is for Gehenna, and the most honest of butchers a companion of Amalek. Rabbi Nehorai said: I let alone every trade of this world, and teach my son nothing but the Thorah (the law of God); for a man eats of the fruit of it in this world (as it were, lives upon earth on the interest), while the capital remaineth for the world to come. But what is left over (what remains) in every trade (or worldly employment) is not An Introduction to His Ministry These three names, Abraham, David, and Christ, are referred to by Matthew both here at the beginning of his genealogy and at the end. Note: “So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations” (Matt. 1:17 ). It can be seen that his genealogy records 41 generations consisting of three groups of 14 each: A. From Abraham to David B. From David to the Babylonian Captivity C. From the Babylonian Captivity to Christ To make these three groups of 14 each, Matthew omitted three generations, those of Ahaziah, Joash, and Amaziah. Chronologically they should appear between the two names, “Jehoram begat Uzziah” in Matthew 1:8 . There were probably several reasons why Matthew used this approach: A. As a memory device B. The number 14 is twice seven, the number of perfection. C. The name David, Israel’s greatest king, has a numerical value in the Hebrew language which totals 14. Welcome to WordPress.
