(续上)拉比们也是由前一节经文推出的:「羊毛与细麻」在他们看来虽不多余,经上却不必说「绞绳」,可见这个用语是空出来的,可借经文相连释义。

……他们是由前一节经文学到这一点的,就是许可繸子用羊毛与细麻混织的那节经文。
they learn this from the first verse, which permits a mixture of diverse kinds of wool and linen in ritual fringes.
-
前面说,照拉比们的意见,「羊毛与细麻」一语并不多余,因而没有理由凭经文相连来推论;对此答复如下:若是这样,这里若推不出任何释义,经上只要说「你要为自己做繸子」就够了。
As for the previous claim that in the opinion of the Rabbis the phrase “wool and linen” is not superfluous and therefore there is no cause to derive from the juxtaposed verses, the answer is as follows: If so, that no homiletical interpretation can be derived from this source, let the verse say only: You shall make fringes for yourself.
-
何必要说「绞绳」(《申命记》22:12)这个用语?
Why do I need the expression “twisted fringes” (Deuteronomy 22:12)?
注:和合本此节作「你要在所披的外衣上四围做繸子」;「繸子」原文 גְּדִלִים,字面是「绞成的绳」,这里照字面译作「绞绳」,以便下文论其单复数。
-
由此可以断定这个用语是空出来的,就是说,凭这个多余的用语,可以借经文相连引申释义。
Conclude from this that this phrase is free, i.e., a homiletical interpretation can be derived by the juxtaposition of verses due to this superfluous phrase.
