Jewish observance of a set of legal practices constituted the most obvious distinction between Jew and gentile in antiquity. Yet Jewish ritual practice did not only affect the ways in which Jews acted but also how they felt about their Jewishness and their connection to the wider culture. Law and emotion play mutually reinforcing roles in both shaping and reflecting a society’s values, an observation that invites the following questions: how did observance of Jewish dietary laws make Jews feel, and which emotional norms were involved in the production of law? The emotions of those who observed the kosher food laws were variously characterized as hate, a self-controlled repudiation of negative emotion, or disgust. Disputes about how to understand the emotions that animate the dietary laws were attempts to define the power relations between Jews and the surrounding world: did Jews enjoy the power to integrate into their Greco-Roman surroundings?

According to the mashal (parable) attributed to Shimʿon ben Yoḥai in Gen. Rab. 22:9, the murder of Abel (Gen 4:8–10) may be likened to a gladiator’s death in the arena. This article argues that the parable assumes the audience’s familiarity with gladiatorial shows, which came to an end in the early fifth century CE. Tracing the transmission of the mashal in Tanḥuma ha-Nidpas (Bereshit 9) and the earliest commentaries on Genesis Rabba, it further argues that the gladiatorial allusion was not understood after the demise of the games, and that the Tanḥuma’s version is a later reformulation. The preservation of the imagery in the earliest extant manuscripts of Genesis Rabba, despite the fact that it was not well-understood when they were produced, demonstrates the conservation of a reference to a late antique public institution in medieval copies and thus contributes to the knowledge of Genesis Rabba’s textual history.
根据《创世纪》22:9中Shim al - on ben Yoḥai的寓言,亚伯的谋杀(创4:8-10)可能被比作角斗士在竞技场上的死亡。本文认为,这个寓言假设观众熟悉角斗表演,角斗表演在公元五世纪早期结束。通过追踪Tanḥuma ha-Nidpas (Bereshit 9)和创世纪Rabba最早的注释中mashal的传播,它进一步认为角斗士的典故在比赛消亡后不被理解,并且Tanḥuma的版本是后来的重新阐述。《创世纪·拉巴》现存最早的手抄本中的图像得到了保存,尽管它们在制作时并没有得到很好的理解,但这表明中世纪抄本中对古代晚期公共机构的参考资料得到了保存,从而有助于了解《创世纪·拉巴》的文本历史。
