Translation: The conclusion of Sotah in the Yerushalmi is: “It happened that the elders entered the loft of Bais Gediyah in Yericho, and a Heavenly Voice proclaimed that ‘there are two among you who are worthy of the Divine Spirit, and Hillel the Elder is one of them.’ Those present speculated [that the other was] Shmuel Hakaton (the Small). Once again the elders entered the loft in Yavneh, and a Heavenly Voice proclaimed to them that ‘there are two among you who are worthy of the Divine Spirit, and Shmuel Hakaton is one of them.’ Those present speculated [that the other was] Rabbi Eliezer ben Horkenus; and were happy that their opinion coincided with G-d’s opinion (that the first time they had speculated it was Shmuel Hakaton who was the other person worthy of the Divine Spirit — and now at the second time they had been shown to be correct).” |
