答上叶末问:等同伴祷完的人所得的赏,是以赛亚书 48:18–19 的那一串祝福——平安如河、公义如海浪、后裔如沙。所据是 诫命(诫命)与 结伴(结伴)音近:「你若听从我的诫命」被读作「你若与人结伴」。

论到这赏,拉比哈尼纳 之子 拉比约西 说:在会堂里等同伴祷完的人,配得下面这些祝福,正如经上所说:「但愿你听从我的 诫命,你的平安就如河水,你的公义就如海浪。
In terms of this reward, <b>Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Ḥanina said:</b> One who waits in the synagogue for the other to finish his prayer <b>merits the following blessings, as it is stated: “If only you had listened to My mitzvot then your peace would be as a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea.</b>

你的后裔也必像海沙,你腹中所生的必像海边的沙粒;他的名必不从我面前剪除,也不灭绝」(以赛亚书 48:18–19)。
<b>Your seed would be as the sand, and the offspring of your body</b> like the grains thereof; his name would be neither cut off nor destroyed from before Me” (Isaiah 48:18–19).

这一节之所以能这样解,是因 诫命 一词与 结伴 音近,而 结伴 的意思是结伴。
The explanation of this passage is based on the etymological similarity between the word mitzva and the word <i>tzevet</i>, which means group.
整段的赏全系于一处音近:「听从我的 诫命」被读作 结伴——两个词在希伯来文里一读便觉相通。中文的「诫命」与「结伴」毫无牵连,这一步只能靠注说明。

他若与同伴相守、不在人祷告之后就撇下他,那么这一节后面所列的祝福都必成就在他身上(拉比奴·约纳的门徒)。
If he keeps the other person company and does not abandon him after his prayer, all of the blessings that appear later in the verse will be fulfilled in him (<i>Talmidei Rabbeinu Yona</i>).
