Vayikra: Chapter 46
A woman who suckles her baby
Synopsis

We learn that a woman who suckles her child must not have intercourse with her husband until the baby is asleep, and she should not afterwards suckle her child for an hour.

Children Fear Lilit Women

323. A woman who suckles her child must not have intercourse with her husband unless the child is asleep. She should not afterwards suckle her baby for an hour, THE EQUIVALENT OF A two mile WALK, or one mile, if she cannot WAIT, so as not to distress the baby, if the baby cries! If she does this, she will never have anything to fear her, LILIT.

323. מַאן דְּיַנְקָא לְרַבְיָּא, לָא תִּזְדַּוֵּוג לְבַר נָשׁ, אֶלָּא בְּשַׁעֲתָא דְּרַבְיָא נָאִים. וּלְבָתַר לָא תָּנִיק לֵיהּ, עַד שַׁעֲתָא חֲדָא, כִּתְרֵין מִילִּין, אוֹ חַד מִיל, אִי לָא יַכְלָא בְּגִין צַעֲרָא דְּרַבְיָא, בְּזִמְנָא דְּאִיהוּ בָּכֵי. וּבְדָא לָא מִסְתָּפֵי מִנָּהּ לְעָלְמִין.

Crowns Holy Name Righteous Torah

324. Happy are the righteous whom the Holy One, blessed be He, teaches deep mysteries from high up and from below, all for the sake of the Torah. Whoever studies the Torah is crowned with the crowns of His Holy Name, for the Torah is a Holy Name. And he who studies it is marked and crowned with the Holy Name, for he knows then hidden ways and deep mysteries from high up and below and is never afraid.

324. זַכָּאִין אִינּוּן צַדִּיקַיָּיא, דְּקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא אוֹלִיף לוֹן רָזִין עֲמִיקִין דִּלְעֵילָּא וְתַתָּא, וְכֹלָּא בְּגִין אוֹרַיְיתָא, דְּהָא אוֹרַיְיתָא, מַאן דְּיִשְׁתָּדַּל בָּהּ, מִתְעַטָּר בְּעִטְרִין דִּשְׁמָא קַדִּישָׁא, דְּהָא אוֹרַיְיתָא שְׁמָא קַדִּישָׁא הִוא. וּמַאן דְּיִשְׁתָּדַּל בָּהּ, אִתְרְשִׁים וְאִתְעַטָּר בִּשְׁמָא קַדִּישָׁא, וּכְדֵין יָדַע אָרְחִין סְתִימִין, וְרָזִין עֲמִיקִין דִּלְעֵילָּא וְתַתָּא, וְלָא מִסְתָּפֵי לְעָלְמִין.
