• Lot Description
  Two page retained typed letter with a few manuscript notations. Translated in full;Jerusalem, 11th Tishrei 5777My son, I would like to inform you about the first bottle of Gemas found in the land of the Lord, which you have sent to me. In connection with this discovery, I originally remembered the last books, in the book of Machonaim II, chapter 1, verse 23 and following, where there appear signs that were heard in their mouths in those days, in a letter written in the year 124 to Patiya For when our ancestors were exiled to the land of Persia, the priests who were consecrated took the fire in a crescent from the altar and marked it in a deep and dry trench to guard it, and no one knew their location. And after many days, the Lord showed us His mercy and the king sent Nehemiah to Jerusalem, cleansed them of the sons of the priests who had sprinkled the fire and sent to search for them. However, when they came to us, they did not find the fire, but they found a pool of frozen water under it. Nehemiah commanded that the water be drawn and brought. And when they offered the Lord's offering, they commanded them to throw some of the water on the wood and on the offering that was on it. The altar and they made ready after they had finished, and the sun rose upon the earth and the thickets were scattered, and God sent a flame from their sacrifice, and all the people were astonished around them; and the priests and all the people fell on their faces and worshiped until he had eaten the sacrifice; and Jonathan prayed to God, and Nehemiah and all the people answered after him, and said: O Lord God, maker and creator of all things, help and be terrible, cry out and be merciful, you alone are our king and our savior" etc. After the prayer, Nehemiah came with a request to gather the scattered people of your people and to build them up as Gentiles and said: "Bring us and plant us in the mountain of your inheritance, as your servant Moses said”.In the chapter that follows this, Mark explains that it is said: "And it was also found like a sword in the mountains, because Jeremiah the prophet commanded the exiles to take fire and to go as Amranon did." And Jeremiah heard this and was very angry and said, "Let no one know the place where the Lord gathers his people and shows them mercy: then he will reveal it." "Live the place and the glory of God will appear in the matter as it was in the days of Moses and in the days of Solomon when they pleaded with the Lord for a cardboard box. And Jeremiah, brother of Solomon, told them about the wisdom of Solomon and the sacrifices he offered at the dedication of the altar, after he had finished building the sanctuary of the Lord. And as Moses prayed and fire came out from the mouth of the Lord and consumed the burnt offering on the altar, so Solomon answered them in his prayer."I would like to point out that in all these places the place is called "Nefter" or "Hamasrin. Although it is not clearly known where the place where the oil was found was in Berem or here, it is also worth adding that not only did Naomi's sacrifice catch fire due to the hot rays of the sun that ignited the oil, but something similar happened, apparently in the days of Elijah the prophet when he commanded that liquids be poured on the altar: "The fire of the Lord will come and consume the burnt offering, the wood, the stones, the dirt, and the oil that is in the trench" For all this, one can also find it in the Talmud and the Mishnah, Tractate Shabbat: "What is lit ..." In conclusion, it is clear that two thousand years ago, there was already oil in the land of Shessus.”
