תנא דבי רבי ישמעאל זו וזו שילה רבי שמעון בן יוחי אומר זו וזו ירושלים בשלמא למאן דאמר מנוחה זו

and [at] the Eternal House? He [R'Joseph] recited it, and he explained it: [These were] in respect of second tithe, and in accordance with R'Judah. WHEN THEY CAME TO JERUSALEM etc. Our Rabbis taught: For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance: 'rest' alludes to Shiloh; 'inheritance', to Jerusalem. And thus it says, My inheritance is become unto Me as a lion in the forest; and it says, Is My inheritance unto Me as a speckled bird of prey?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Jer. XII, 8-9.
