  • And Jacob proceeded and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder, the place where the King Messiah will reveal Himself at the end of days.
  • Truth will spring from the earth, and righteousness will look down from heaven. In the days of the Messiah, the times of God will become clear, and the righteous will walk in His light.
  • May the spirits of those who attempt to calculate the final time [in Daniel for the coming of the Messiah] die!
  • The Sages taught: During the tenure of Shimon HaTzaddik, the lot for God always arose in the High Priest’s right hand; after his death, it occurred only occasionally; but during the forty years prior to the destruction of the Second Temple, the lot for God did not arise in the High Priest’s right hand at all. So too, the strip of crimson wool that was tied to the head of the goat that was sent to Azazel did not turn white, and the westernmost lamp of the candelabrum did not burn continually.
  • What were these twelve months for? From the [new collection] they would offer the continual sacrifices and the additional sacrifices, the libations, the omer, the two loaves, and the showbread, all the communal offerings, and the guards of the towers of Edar [Migdal Eder] and the guards of the city.
  • In Nisan they were redeemed, and in Nisan they will be redeemed in the future.
