TehillimIII
Question
continued from Tehillim(again)II 1. why do you say there is no justification for that diyuk 2. i hope this clarifies it, what was the hava aminah of the gemara it says that rav yehoshua ben levi said the words of yoshev beseter to protect himself from harm so why did the gemara ask but didn't rav yehoshua ben levi say it is assur to heal (lehitrapot)oneself with words of torah? meaning rav yehoshua ben levi said words to protect himself why then is the gemara asking about healing oneslef? (you would think it would say either but didnt rav yehoshua ben levi say u cant say words of torah to protect ureself, why mentioning abotu healing)
Answer
Answered by Aaron AbadiThe Gemara is under the impression that using Pesukim for personal use is the issue. When the Gemara says you cannot use it as a Refuah, the Gemara sees a contradiction in Rabbi YB"L own opinions. Then the Gemara explains that it is OK as a protection, but not as a cure. AA
