A Further Study of the Temple ‘Seals'.
- Authors
Naeh, Shlomo
- Abstract
Following a previous article published in Tarbiz three years ago (Shlomo Naeh, ‘Tradition and Interpretation in the Mishnah on “Four Seals” and Its Talmud', Tarbiz 81 [2013], pp. 5-23), this article reexamines the structure and meaning of the date components of the time clause in formal bills, as they appear in Tosefta Bava Batra 11:2 and in the Jerusalem Talmud (Sheqalim 5:5). This examination shows that the meaning of the phrase ‘name of the week ( שם שבת )' found in the two sources is probably identical to the expression ‘name of the priestly division ( שם משמר )' that appears in the Jerusalem Talmud. This understanding eliminates the objection raised by Avi Shveka in a recent issue of Tarbiz (Avi Shveka, ‘The Date Written on Seal Impressions Used in the Temple’, Tarbiz, 83 [2015], pp. 495-511) against my interpretation, in the aforementioned article, to the Talmudic passage and the seal impression found in the archaeological excavation in Jerusalem.
