תלמוד על נדרים 29:5

HALAKHAH: ⁴³Babli 53a, Tosephta 4:5. In Babli and Tosephta the statement is formulated in the first person, “we did not taste.” This is appropriate since he was a Levite involved in the Temple service.“Rebbi Joshua ben Ḥanania said, all during the water-drawing festivity they did not at all taste the taste of sleep. At the start they went to sacrifice the daily morning sacrifice; from there they went to sacrifice the musaf sacrifices; from there they went [to sacrifice vows and voluntary offerings⁴⁴A vow expresses an obligation to bring a certain kind of sacrifice, whereas a voluntary offering is a dedication of a certain animal as sacrifice. If the animal becomes disqualified after dedication, in the case of a vow the owner has to procure a replacement, but not in the case of the voluntary offering.; from there they went]⁴⁵Corrector’s addition; unknown source. to eat and drink. From there they went to study Torah; and from there they went to sacrifice the daily evening sacrifice; and from there they went to the water-drawing festivity.” But was it not stated⁴⁶Babli 53a; Nedarim 2:1 Note 20 (Babli Nedarim 15a). Both Babli sources are Amoraic in the name of R. Joḥanan., “an oath that I shall not sleep for three days,” one whips him⁴⁷For a vain oath since nobody can go without sleep for three days. and he sleeps immediately? They were dozing⁴⁸As the Babli explains, R. Joshua did not say that they did not sleep but that they did not taste the taste of sleep..
