His mother said that, for example, Hillel was there, a great teacher of the law, and that Jesus of Nazareth also appreciated who Hillel was and what he meant for Judaism. I do not need to tell you what significance this Hillel had. You will find it sufficiently honored in Jewish literature. Hillel was a reviver of the most beautiful virtues and teachings of ancient Judaism, as well as a personality who, through his own way, brought about a kind of renewal of this ancient Judaism. But this was not because Hillel was a scholar, but because, through his actions and, above all, his feelings, desires and wishes, and in the way he treated people, he expressed how real wisdom of every kind works in the human soul, transforming the soul. What was especially praised in Judaism, but no longer properly understood in those days, was patience in dealing with other people. This was rightly attributed to Hillel. He had also attained the opportunity to work among the Hebrews in a remarkable way. He came from Babylon, but from a family that had been transplanted there by the Jews at the time of the captivity, and which traced its origin back to the family of David himself. In this way he had united within himself what he had been able to absorb from Babylonianism with the Hebrewness pulsating in his blood. And how this took shape in his soul is told in a meaningful legend.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Third Berlin Lecture","site_heading":null,"date":"1913-11-18","location":null,"word_count":278,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/148/1913-11-18/p013","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Fifth Gospel III","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA148/English/SOL2024/19131118p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.

Die Mutter sagte darauf, daß zum Beispiel Hillel dagewesen sei, ein großer Gesetzeslehrer, und der Jesus von Nazareth wußte auch zu würdigen, wer Hillel war und was er für das Judentum bedeutete. Ich brauche Ihnen nicht zu erzählen, welche Bedeutung dieser Hillel hatte. Sie finden es im jüdischen Schrifttum genügend gewürdigt. Hillel war ein Erneuerer der schönsten Tugenden und Lehren des alten Judentums, wie auch eine Persönlichkeit, die durch ihre eigene Art und Weise dieses alte Judentum wieder zu einer Art Erneuerung brachte. Aber das war nicht dadurch gekommen, daß Hillel ein Gelehrter war, sondern dadurch, daß er durch sein Tun und Treiben, vor allem aber in seinem Fühlen, Wollen und Wünschen und in seiner Art, die Menschen zu behandeln, zum Ausdruck brachte, wie wirkliche Weisheit jeglicher Art in der Menschenseele die Seele umgestaltend wirkt. Was man insbesondere im Judentum pries, aber in der damaligen Zeit nicht mehr recht verstand: die Geduld in der Behandlung anderer Menschen - dem Hillel wurde sie mit Recht zugeschrieben. Er hatte ja auch auf sonderbare Art die Möglichkeit erlangt, unter den Hebräern zu wirken. Er stammte aus Babylon, aber aus einem Geschlechte, das von den Juden zur Zeit der Gefangenschaft hinüberverpflanzt war nach Babylon, und das seinen Ursprung auf die Familie David selbst zurückführte. Auf diese Weise hatte er in sich vereinigt, was er aus dem Babyloniertum hatte aufnehmen können, mit dem in seinem Blute pulsierenden Hebräertum. Und wie sich das in seiner Seele gestaltet hat, das wird in einer bedeutungsvollen Legende erzählt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":282,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/148/1913-11-18/p013"}],"english":["GA 148/1913-11-18/p013"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":282,"en_words":278,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6449,"original_word_count":6291,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Fifth Gospel III","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA148/English/SOL2024/19131118p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
