Segment 1א׳

פָּתַח רַבִּי נְהוֹרָאי בְּפָרָשַׁת צִיצִית וְדָרַשׁ, (במדבר ט״ו:ל״ח) וְעָשׂוּ לָהֶם צִיצִית עַל כַּנְפֵי בִגְדֵיהֶם לְדוֹרוֹתָם. מַאי שְׁנָא דְהָכָא וּבְשַׁבָּת לְדֹרֹתָם חָסֵר, דִּכְתִיב, (שמות ל״א:ט״ז) לַעֲשׂוֹת אֶת הַשַּׁבָּת לְדֹרֹתָם, חָסֵר. דְּתָנִינָן. תִּקְנוּ פָּרָשַׁת צִיצִית בִּקְרִיאַת שְׁמַע. וּבְדִירָתוֹ שֶׁל אָדָם, נִמְצָא פָּרָשַׁת קְרִיאַת שְׁמַע, חוּץ מִפָּרָשַׁת צִיצִית, שֶׁחָסֵר מִשָּׁם. בַּמֶּה נִשְׁלַם. אֶלָּא כְּשֶׁאָדָם מִתְעַטֵּף בְּבֵיתוֹ בַּצִּיצִית, וְיוֹצֵא בוֹ לְפִתְחוֹ, הֲרֵי נִשְׁלַם. וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא שָׂמֵחַ בּוֹ, וּמַלְאַךְ הַמָּוְת זָז מִשָּׁם וְהַיְינוּ לְדֹרֹתָם, שֶׁיִּהְיֶה שָׁלֵם. וְיֵצֵא מִפֶּתַח בֵּיתוֹ בְּמִצְוָה זוֹ, וּמַלְאָךְ הַמַּשְׁחִית זָז מִשָּׁם ונִיצוֹל הָאָדָם מִכָּל נֶזֶק. מְנָלָן. מִמַּאי דִכְתִיב מְזוּזֹת, מֵאוֹתִיּוֹתָיו מַשְׁמַע, זָ"ז מָוְ"ת. שֶׁלֹּא נִיתַּן לוֹ רְשׁוּת לְחַבֵּל, וְזָז מִפִּתְחוֹ.

R. Nehorai opened on the section of the fringes and expounded: “And they shall make for themselves fringes on the corners of their garments throughout their generations” (Num. 15, 38). What is different here, while with the Sabbath “throughout their generations” is written defective, as it is written, “to make the sabbath throughout their generations” (Ex. 31, 16), defective? As we have learnt: they ordained the section of the fringes in the reading of the Shema. And in a man’s dwelling the sections of the reading of the Shema are found, except for the section of the fringes, which is missing from there. By what is it completed? Rather, when a man wraps himself in the fringes in his house and goes out with them to his door, it is completed. And the Holy One, blessed be He, rejoices in him, and the angel of death moves away from there; and this is “throughout their generations”, that he should be complete. And he goes out from the door of his house with this commandment, and the destroying angel moves away from there, and the man is saved from all harm. How do we know it? From what is written, mezuzot (doorposts): from its own letters it is implied, zaz mavet (death moves away) — that he was not given permission to destroy, and he moves away from his door.

Segment 2ב׳

בְּשַׁבָּת דִּכְתִיב לְדֹרֹתָם, מַאי טַעְמָא. מִפְּנֵי שֶׁכֵּיוָן שֶׁקִּידַּשׁ הַיּוֹם, דִּירָתָם שֶׁל יִשְׂרָאֵל צְרִיכָה לִהְיוֹת בְּנֵר דָּלוּק, וְשֻׁלְחָן עָרוּךְ, וּמִטָּה מְמוּצַּעַת וְדִירָתָן מְתוּקֶּנֶת כְּדִירַת חָתָן לְקַבֵּל בּוֹ הַכַּלָּה. וּמַאי נִיהוּ. שַׁבָּת הִיא כַּלָּה. וּלְעוֹלָם אֵין מַכְנִיסִין אוֹתָהּ אֶלָּא בְּדִירָה מְתוּקֶּנֶת לִכְבוֹדָהּ, כְּפִי הָרָאוּי לָהּ. וְעַל דָּא כְּתִיב, לַעֲשׂוֹת אֶת הַשַּׁבָּת. וּכְתִיב, לְדֹרֹתָם, לְהַכְנִיס בָּהּ כַּלָּה קְדוֹשָׁה לְדִירָתָהּ וְלִהְיוֹת בְּתוֹכָהּ. בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁקִּידַּשׁ הַיּוֹם, וְכַלָּה זוֹ בָּאָה, ואֵינָהּ מוֹצְאָה דִירָה מְתוּקֶּנֶת, וְשׁוּלְחָן עָרוּךְ, ונֵר דָּלוּק. כַּלָּה זוֹ אוֹמֶרֶת, אֵין דִּירָה זוֹ מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל. בֵּינִי וּבֵין בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כְּתִיב, אֵין זֶה מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל, אֵין דִּירָתוֹ לִקְדוּשָּׁה. עַל כֵּן צָרִיךְ הֶיכֵּר קְדוּשָּׁה בַּבַּיִת. וְעַל דָּא כְּתִיב לְדֹרֹתָם, בְּשַׁבָּת וּבְצִיצִית.

With the Sabbath, where it is written “throughout their generations”, what is the reason? Because once the day has been sanctified, the dwelling of Israel must be with a lamp lit, and a table set, and a bed spread, and their dwelling made ready like the dwelling of a bridegroom, to receive the bride in it. And what is she? The Sabbath is a bride. And she is never brought in except into a dwelling made ready in her honour, as befits her. And therefore it is written, “to make the sabbath”, and it is written, “throughout their generations” — to bring into it a holy bride, to her dwelling, and to be within it. At the hour when the day has been sanctified, and this bride comes and does not find a dwelling made ready, and a table set, and a lamp lit, this bride says: This dwelling is not of Israel. “Between Me and the children of Israel” is written: this one is not of Israel, his dwelling is not for holiness. Therefore a mark of holiness is needed in the house. And therefore it is written “throughout their generations”, with the Sabbath and with the fringes.

Segment 3ג׳

אָמַר רִבִּי נְהוֹרָאי, אַסְהַדְּנָא, עַל מַאן דְּנָפַק מִתְּרַע בֵּיתֵיהּ בְּעִיטּוּפָא דְמִצְוָה, וּתְפִילִּין בְּרֹאשׁוֹ, בְּשָׁעָה דְּנָפֵיק בֵּין תְּרֵין תַּרְעִין, אִזְדַּמְּנָא שְׁכִינָה עֲלֵיהּ. וּתְרֵין מַלְאָכִין דְּקָיְימִין עֲלֵיהּ, חַד מִיָּמִינָא, וְחַד מִשְּׂמָאלָא, וְכוּלְּהוֹן מְלַוִּין לֵיהּ עַד בֵּי כְּנִישְׁתָּא, וּמְבָרְכִין לֵיהּ. וְחַד מְקַטְרְגָא דְּאִיהוּ קָיְימָא קַמֵּי פִּתְחֵי דְבַר נָשׁ אָזֵיל מִבַּתְרַיְיהוּ, וְעַל כָּרְחֵיהּ אָתֵיב וַאֲמַר אָמֵן.

R. Nehorai said: I testify concerning one who goes out from the gate of his house wrapped in a commandment, with phylacteries on his head: at the hour when he goes out between the two gates, the Shekinah is present over him, and two angels stand over him, one on the right and one on the left, and all of them escort him to the synagogue and bless him. And one accuser, who stands before the doors of a man, goes behind them, and against his will he answers and says, Amen.
