Reference for Pesachim 207:12

תנא משמיה דרבי יהושע בן חנניא כל החותם מקדש ישראל והמבדיל בין קודש לחול מאריכין לו ימיו ושנותיו

R'Jose B'R'Judah said: He concludes, 'Who sanctifiest Israel.' Now if this is correct, surely no distinction is mentioned [in the Torah] between the sea and the dry land?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., no phrase with the express term 'distinction');"><sup>13</sup></span> - Delete 'between the sea and the dry land' from this. If so, [you must] also [delete] 'between the seventh day and the six working days'?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For no phrase states that God made a 'distinction' between the seventh day etc.');"><sup>14</sup></span> - That corresponds to the conclusion,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And is therefore not counted.');"><sup>15</sup></span> Then there is one less' so there are not seven?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Whereas the purpose of this Baraitha is to enumerate the seven formulas of distinction referred to above.');"><sup>16</sup></span> -I will tell you: [who made a distinction between] Priests, Levites and Israelites is two formulas. between Levites and Israelites [is one], as it is written, At that time lord made distinct the tribe of Levi.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Deut. X, 8.');"><sup>17</sup></span> Between Priests and Levites [is another], as It is written, The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was made distinct that he should be sanctified as most holy.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I Chron. XXIII, 13.');"><sup>18</sup></span> How does he conclude it? - Rab said: 'Who sanctifiest Israel.' While Samuel said: 'Who makest a distinction, between holy and non-holy,' Abaye, - others state, R'Joseph - denounced<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'cursed'.');"><sup>19</sup></span> this [ruling] of Rab. It was taught in the name of R'Joshua B'Hanania: When one concludes, 'Who sanctifiest Israel and makest a distinction between holy and non-holy,' his days and years are prolonged.
