A. Sola and M. J. Raphall, [1843]\n\u00a7 1. The morning prayer [may be said] until noon. R. Jehudah saith, \"until the fourth hour.\" The \u05de\u05e0\u05d7\u05d4 prayer until the evening. R. Jehudah saith, \"until [the expiration] of half the time [appointed for] the \u05de\u05e0\u05d7\u05d4 sacrifice. The evening prayer [is not limited] to any fixed time, and the \u05de\u05d5\u05e1\u05e3 [additional prayer] [may be said] all day. R. Jehudah saith, \"until the seventh hour [only].\"\n\u00a7 2. R. Nehooniah ben Hakanah used to pronounce a short prayer when he entered the Beth Hamedrash [College], and again\nwhen he left it. They [the sages] asked him, \"What occasion [authority] is there for this prayer?\" He answered them, \"When I enter, I pray that no cause of offence may arise through me; and when I quit, I return thanks for my vocation [as a teacher of the law].\"\n\u00a7 3. Rabbon Gamaliel saith, \"Man must daily say the eighteen benedictions.\" R. Joshua saith, \"a compendium of the eighteen [benedictions].\" R. Akivah saith, \"If the \u05ea\u05e4\u05dc\u05d4 is fluent in a man's mouth, he says the eighteen [benedictions]; if not, he only says a compendium of the eighteen [benedictions].\"\n\u00a7 4. R. Eleazar saith, \"If a man turns his prayers into a fixed charge [or burthen] they cease to be humble supplications.\" R. Joshua saith, \"If a man travels in dangerous places, let him say this short prayer, 'Save, O Lord, thy people, the remnant of Israel; at every stage of their journeying, 1 let their wants be present before thee. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who hearest prayers.'\"\n\u00a7 5. If a man rides on an ass, he must dismount: if he cannot dismount, he turns his face towards the Sanctum Sanctorum; and if he cannot turn his face, he is to direct his mind to that most holy place.\n\u00a7 6. If he is seated in a ship, or in a cart, or in a waggon [on a raft], he directs his mind to the Sanctum Sanctorum.\n\u00a7 7. R. Eleazar saith, the \u05de\u05d5\u05e1\u05e3 [additional prayer], is only to be read in a public congregation. But the sages say, \"Whether there be [a congregation] or not, [this prayer must be read].\" R. Jehudah said, in the name [on the authority] of R. Eleazar, \"In all places where there is a public congregation, single individuals are exempt from praying \u05de\u05d5\u05e1\u05e3.\"\n6:1 The expression in the original, \u05d1\u05db\u05dc \u05e4\u05e8\u05e9\u05ea \u05d4\u05e2\u05d1\u05d5\u05e8, is very obscure, and has been variously rendered. According to some, it means \"at every cross-road.\" According to others, \"even when they [Israel] turn away and transgress.\" The translation we have adopted seems most in accordance with the context.","title":"Eighteen Treatises from the Mishna: I.
