תלמוד על ראש השנה 32:12

Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Abba asked, from which judgment was grain hit which was hit on Passover eve? If you want to say, from the coming year, up to then it did not come. If you want to say from the past year, it was weak the entire year to be hit in this way. From which judgment are those dying who die between New Year’s day and the Day of Atonement? If you want to say, from the coming year, up to then it did not come. If you want to say from the past year, he was weak the entire year to die in this way. He had not heard what Rebbi Crispus said in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan, there are three ledgers²²⁰Babli 16b. The word for “ledger’ is a Hebraized form of Greek πίναξ, “writing tablet of pine wood.”. One for perfectly just people, one for perfectly evil people, and one for average ones. Those of the one for the perfectly just already took judgment²²¹Following the reading of G, Greek ʼαπόφασις, “judgment”. The readings of the scribe of the manuscript אפיכי, and of A אופכי, are unexplained. of life from New Year’s Day. Those of the one for the perfectly evil already took their verdict from New Year’s Day. Those of the average ones already were given the ten days of repentance between New Year’s day and the Day of Atonement. If they repented, they were inscribed with the just ones; otherwise they are inscribed with the evil ones. What is the reason? May they be erased from the book²²²Ps. 69:29., these are the evil ones; of life, these are the just ones; and with the just ones not being inscribed, these are the average ones.
