Abstract

281 R. Samuel b. Isaac said: The thirteenth is a time of fighting for all, and does not need to be exegetically added, so too, the thirteenth is a time of fighting for all and does not need to be added." The repetition of the statement twice ("so too... "), found in the printed edd. and several Mss., plus the formula at the beginning "as R. Samuel ... said" (ke-de- 'amar ...) shows plainly that the original location of his statement was not in Megillah, and may well have been in the context of the discussion of this day as a fastday. If this be true, the Sheiltot would be quoting R. Samuel b. Isaac's statement from its original context, and the continua- tion of the Sheiltot, "What is a day of fighting (yom kehillah)? A day of fast (yom ta'anit)", makes excellent sense. R. Samuel b. Isaac was a Babylon- ian scholar of the late third and early fourth centuries C. E., who came to Palestine in his later years. Possibly we have then an indication that in Babylonia, at any rate, the Fast of Esther was already kept in the late third century. R. Samuel b.
