Sukkah 53a Part 2/7

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Where do a person's legs take him? Hillel's sayings at the Simchas Beis HaShoeva jump between his own name and Hashem's, and a remez brought from a commentator is that Hillel equals 65, like Hashem's name Aleph Daled Nun Yud. The next statement on the page teaches that a person's feet bring him to the place he is needed, as the Malach HaMaves showed Shlomo HaMelech at Luz. David HaMelech says it too: with Your laws I will go.

Key points

• Rashi reads Hillel's words, if I am here all are here, as said in Hashem's name.
• Coming to Hashem's house, the Beis HaMikdash, brings His bracha into one's own home.
• Hillel tells the floating skull it drowned others, showing that Hashem acts mida keneged mida.
• Rashi says the two men called black were good-looking, a lashon sagi nahor.
• The Malach HaMaves could take the two scribes only at the doorway of Luz, their destined place.
