Animals Blood Food Heart

154. The other question POSED BY THAT GENTILE was that the people of Yisrael do not partake of animals found dead or those not ritually slaughtered, nor of the filth and dirt of reptiles and insects as do the other peoples, but are nevertheless weaker than they are. This is how it is. For the heart, which is soft and weak and is the king and the sustenance of the other limbs, does not take from man's food for its nourishment other than from the clearest and purest of all the blood that is made from food, and its food is clean and clear and is softer and weaker than all the rest. And it leaves the remaining waste matters of the blood for the other limbs, and the other limbs are not concerned AS TO THE CLEANLINESS OF THEIR FOOD, but take all the waste matters, even the worst, and they are strong as befits them.

154. שְׁאֶלְתָּא אַחֲרָא, דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל לָא אָכְלֵי נְבֵלוֹת וּטְרֵפוֹת, וְטִנּוּפָא וְלִכְלוּכָא דִּשְׁקָצִים וּרְמָשִׂים כִּשְׁאַר עַמִּין, הָכִי הוּא, דְּהָא לִבָּא דְּאִיהוּ רָכִיךְ וְחָלַשׁ, וּמַלְכָּא וְקִיּוּמָא דְּכָל שְׁאַר שַׁיְיפִין, לָא נָטִיל לִמְזוֹנֵיהּ, אֶלָּא בְּרִירוּ וְצָחוּתָא דְּכָל דָּמָא, וּמְזוֹנֵיהּ נָקִי וּבְרִירָא, וְאִיהוּ רָכִיךְ וְחָלִשׁ מִכֹּלָּא, וּשְׁאַר פְּסוֹלֶת אֲנָח לְכָל שַׁיְיפִין, וְכָל שְׁאַר שַׁיְיפִין לָא מַשְׁגִּחִין בְּהַאי, אֶלָּא כָּל פְּסוֹלֶת וּבִישׁ דְּכֹלָּא נַטְלִין, וְאִינּוּן בִּתְקִיפוּ כְּמָה דְּאִתְחֲזֵי לוֹן.

Hands Heart Love Skin

155. This is why all the other limbs have skin eruptions and scabs, bright spots and leprous boils, and the heart has none of them, for it is clean and clear, and has no blemish whatsoever. Thus the Holy One, blessed be He, took Yisrael, who is clean, clear, and without blemish, for Himself, as scripture says: "You are all fair, my love; there is no blemish in you" (Shir Hashirim 4:7). Rabbi Yosi came, kissed his hands, and said: If I had come into the world just to hear this, it would have been sufficient.

155. וְעַל דָּא בְּכָל שְׁאַר שַׁיְיפִין אִית אֲבַעְבּוּעִין, שְׂאֵת אוֹ סַפַּחַת, סְגִירוּ דְּצָרַעַת. לְלִבָּא, לָאו מִכָּל הָנֵי כְּלוּם, אֶלָּא אִיהוּ נָקִי בְּרִירָא מִכֹּלָּא, לֵית בֵּיהּ מוּמָא כְּלָל. כַּךְ קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא נָטִיל לֵיהּ לְיִשְׂרָאֵל דְּאִיהוּ נָקִי וּבְרִירוּ דְּלֵית בֵּיהּ מוּמָא עַל דָּא כְּתִיב, כֻּלָּךְ יָפָה רַעְיָתִי וּמוּם אֵין בָךְ. אָתָא רִבִּי יוֹסֵי, נָשִׁיק יְדוֹי, אָמַר, אִילּוּ לָא אֲתֵינָא לְעָלְמָא, אֶלָּא לְמִשְׁמַע דָּא, דַּיִּי.
