This line informs us solely that the Divine Presence abides with <b>two</b> who converse in Torah. <b>From where</b> is it known that should <b>even a lone soul sit</b> in solitude <b>and occupy</b> himself <b>in Torah the Holy One, blessed be He, appoints a recompense for him?</b> A line in Lamentations, wherein <b>it says: Let him sit in solitude and study Torah in stillness,</b> since thereby <b>he</b> may <b>take</b> a <b>recompense for himself.</b> ב ra|BI cha|ni|NA s'GAN ha|ko|ha|NIM o|MER: he|VEI mit|pa|LEL bish|lo|MAH shel mal|CHUT, she-il|ma|LEI mo|ra-AH, ish et re-e|HU cha|YIM b'la-O. ra|BI cha|ni|NA ben t'rad|YON o|MER: sh'NA|yim she|yosh|VIN ve-EIN bei|nei|HEM div|REI to|RAH, ha|REI zeh mo|SHAV le|TZIM, she|ne-e|MAR: uv|mo|SHAV le|TZIM lo ya|SHAV. a|VAL sh'NA|yim she|yosh|VIN ve|YESH bei|nei|HEM div|REI to|RAH, sh'chi|NAH sh'ru|YAH bei|nei|HEM, she|ne-e|MAR: az nid|be|RU yir|EI a|do|NAI ish el re-e|HU, va|yak|SHEV a|do|NAI va|yish|MA, va|yi|ka|TEV SE|fer zi|ka|RON le|fa|NAV le|yir|EI a|do|NAI u|le|chosh|VEI sh'MO. ein li e|LA sh'NA|yim, mi|na|YIN a|fi|LU e|CHAD she|yo|SHEV ve-o|SEK ba|to|RAH she|ha|ka|DOSH ba|RUCH hu ko|VEA lo sa|CHAR, she|ne-e|MAR: ye|SHEV ba|DAD ve|yi|DOM ki na|TAL a|LAV. ב rab|BI ḥa|ni|NAʾ se|GHAN hak|ko|ha|NIM ʾo|MER: he|VE mith|pal|LEL bish|lo|MAH shel mal|KHUTH, she|ʾil|ma|LEʾ mo|ra|ʾAH, ʾish ʾeth re|ʿe|HU ḥay|YIM be|la|ʿO. rab|BI ḥa|ni|NAʾ ben te|radh|YON ʾo|MER: she|NA|yim shey|yo|she|VIN ve|ʾEN be|ne|HEM div|RE to|RAH, ha|RE zeh mo|SHAV le|TZIM, shen|ne|ʾe|MAR: u|ve|mo|SHAV le|TZIM loʾ ya|SHAV. ʾa|VAL she|NA|yim shey|yo|she|VIN ve|YESH be|ne|HEM div|RE to|RAH, she|khi|NAH she|ru|YAH be|ne|HEM, shen|ne|ʾe|MAR: ʾaz nidh|be|RU yir|ʾE a|do|NAI ʾish ʾel re|ʿe|HU, vay|yaq|SHEV a|do|NAI vay|yish|MAʿ, vay|yik|ka|THEV SE|fer zik|ka|RON le|fa|NAV le|yir|ʾE a|do|NAI u|le|ḥo|she|VE she|MO. ʾen li ʾel|LAʾ she|NA|yim, min|na|YIN ʾa|fi|LU ʾe|ḥADH shey|yo|SHEV ve|ʿo|SEQ bat|to|RAH she|haq|qa|DHOSH ba|RUKH huʾ qo|VEAʿ lo śa|KHAR, shen|ne|ʾe|MAR: ye|SHEV ba|DHADH ve|yid|DOM ki na|ṭAL ʿa|LAV. ב rab|BI ḥa|ni|NA se|GAN hak|ko|ha|NIM o|MER: he|VE mit|pal|LEL bish|lo|MAH shel mal|KHUT, she|il|ma|LE mo|ra|AH, ish et re|ʿe|HU ḥay|YIM be|la|ʿO. rab|BI ḥa|ni|NA ben te|rad|YON o|MER: she|NA|yim shey|yo|she|VIN ve|EN be|ne|HEM div|RE to|RAH, ha|RE zeh mo|SHAV le|TZIM, shen|ne|e|MAR: u|ve|mo|SHAV le|TZIM lo ya|SHAV. a|VAL she|NA|yim shey|yo|she|VIN ve|YESH be|ne|HEM div|RE to|RAH, she|khi|NAH she|ru|YAH be|ne|HEM, shen|ne|e|MAR: az nid|be|RU yir|E a|do|NAI ish el re|ʿe|HU, vay|yaq|SHEV a|do|NAI vay|yish|MAʿ, vay|yik|ka|TEV SE|fer zik|ka|RON le|fa|NAV le|yir|E a|do|NAI u|le|ḥo|she|VE she|MO. en li el|LA she|NA|yim, min|na|YIN a|fi|LU e|ḥAD shey|yo|SHEV ve|ʿo|SEQ bat|to|RAH she|haq|qa|DOSH ba|RUKH hu qo|VEAʿ lo sa|KHAR, shen|ne|e|MAR: ye|SHEV ba|DAD ve|yid|DOM ki na|TAL ʿa|LAV. ב ra|BI cha|ni|NO s'GAN ha|koy|ha|NIM oy|MEIR: he|VEI mis|pa|LEIL bish|loy|MOH shel mal|CHUS, she-il|mo|LEI moy|ro-OH, ish es rei-ei|HU cha|YIM b'lo-OY. ra|BI cha|ni|NO ben t'rad|YOYN oy|MEIR: sh'NA|yim she|yoysh'|VIN v'EIN bei|nei|HEM div|REI toy|ROH, ha|REI zeh moy|SHAV lei|TZIM, she|ne-e|MAR: uv'|moy|SHAV lei|TZIM loy yo|SHOV. a|VOL sh'NA|yim she|yoysh'|VIN v'YEISH bei|nei|HEM div|REI toy|ROH, sh'chi|NOH sh'ru|YOH bei|nei|HEM, she|ne-e|MAR: oz nid|b'RU yir|EI a|do|NOY ish el rei-ei|HU, va|yak|SHEIV a|do|NOY va|yish|MO, va|yi|ko|SEIV SEI|fer zi|ko|ROYN l'fo|NOV l'yir|EI a|do|NOY ul'|choysh'|VEI sh'MOY. ein li e|LO sh'NA|yim, mi|na|YIN a|fi|LU e|CHOD she|yoy|SHEIV v'oy|SEIK ba|toy|ROH she|ha|ko|DOYSH bo|RUCH hu koy|VEIA loy so|CHOR, she|ne-e|MAR: yei|SHEIV bo|DOD v'yi|DOYM ki no|TAL o|LOV.
