Make a calendar for the festivals. Rabbi Shila of Kefar Tamarta said in the name of Rabbi Yochanan that one only counts the months for the moon from when the sun sets. Make a calendar for the festivals. The heretics roar to prey upon [Israel].
These are the nations who deny the Holy One, Blessed Be He, who roar to prey upon Israel. When the sun shines they will be gathered in. When the sun of the Messiah shines, the nations will be gathered in and brought to Gehenna. One must go out and do his task.
Israel went out to receive their task from the Holy One, Blessed Be He, as it says, "And I will bring out My flock, and they shall no longer be prey" (Ezekiel 34:22). And [they shall work] until evening. One who completes his task until evening [is praiseworthy]. Another interpretation: And [they shall work] for His service until evening.
Rabbi Abbahu said in the name of Resh Lakish: From here the Sages said that the departure of the worker and his entry should be compared to the work itself. Just as the worker needs the sun to shine in the field for his work, so too the owner of the house needs the setting of the worker to be in his house.
