<p> This word signifies <em> complement, perfection. </em> The rabbins call the [[Pentateuch]] the law, without any addition. [[Next]] to this they have the Talmud, which is divided into two parts: the first is only an application of the law to particular cases, with the decision of the ancient rabbins, and is called <em> mishnah, </em> or "second law:" the other part, which is a more extensive application of the same law, is a collection of determinations by rabbins, later than the <em> mishnah </em> . This last is termed <em> gemara, </em> "perfection," "finishing," because they consider it as a conclusive explanation of the law, to which no farther additions can be made. There are two <em> gemaras, </em> or two Talmuds, that of Jerusalem, and that of Babylon. The former was compiled, according to the Jews, about the end of the second or third century, by a celebrated rabbin, called Jochanan; but father Morinus maintains that the <em> gemara </em> was not finished till about the seventh century. Dr. Prideaux says that it was completed about A.D. 300. The [[Jews]] have little value for this [[Jerusalem]] Talmud, on account of its obscurity. The [[Babylonish]] <em> gemara </em> is, as the rabbins say, more modern. It was begun by a [[Jewish]] doctor, named Asa, and continued by Marmar and Mar, his sons or disciples. The Jews believe that the <em> gemara </em> contains nothing but the word of God, preserved in the tradition of the elders, and transmitted, without alteration, from [[Moses]] to rabbi Judah, the holy, and the other compilers of the Talmud; who did not reduce it to writing till they were afraid it would be corrupted by the several transmigrations and persecutions to which their nation was subjected. </p> | |||
