The Treasury Of Souls

Yevamot 62aCC-BY-NCEnglish translation

English Translation

Rav Huna said: He fulfilled the commandment, because of the teaching of Rav Assi. For Rav Assi said: The son of David will not come until all the souls in the body are exhausted, as it is said: "For the spirit shall envelop itself before Me, etc." And Rabbi Yochanan said: He did not fulfill the commandment of being fruitful and multiplying, for we require "He formed it to be inhabited," and this is lacking.

Original Hebrew or Aramaic

רַב הוּנָא אָמַר: קִיֵּים — מִשּׁוּם דְּרַב אַסִּי. דְּאָמַר רַב אַסִּי: אֵין בֶּן דָּוִד בָּא עַד שֶׁיִּכְלוּ כׇּל נְשָׁמוֹת שֶׁבַּגּוּף, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״כִּי רוּחַ מִלְּפָנַי יַעֲטוֹף וְגוֹ׳״, וְרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן אָמַר: לֹא קִיֵּים פְּרִיָּה וּרְבִיָּה — ״לָשֶׁבֶת יְצָרָהּ״ בָּעֵינַן, וְהָא לֵיכָּא.
