''For the first Generation Tanna sage with a similar name, see Abba Saul ben Batnit.'' Abba Saul ((ヘブライ語:אבא שאול), ''Abba Shaul'') was a fourth generation Tanna (Jewish sage). His elder contemporary was Akiva ben Joseph. Many Masoretes in the Talmud cite him engaging in the topics of the Temple in Jerusalem and the holy work done there. He was tall at sight, and the Talmud (Babylonian, Tractate "Niddah" 61a) depicts R. Tarfon reaching only up to R. Saul's shoulder. Saul was a grave-digger. (Babylonian, Tractate Niddah 24b) In the Talmud, Tractate "Yebamoth" (Levirate marriage), Abba Saul was stringent, and demanded that a levir (a "Yabbam", the brother of the deceased) should have pure-sacred intentions: Abba Saul opined that in his days there was nowhere to be found a levir with a ''mitzvah'' (commandment) intention, and thus he revokes the commandment of the ''yibbum'', replacing it with the ''Halizah''. Tana Abba Saul was a proponent of Judaism's version of ''imitatio dei''. "Abba Saul interpreted, and I will be like him: be thou like Him: just as He is gracious and compassionate, so be thou gracious and compassionate." (Babylonian, Tractate Shabbat 133b).〔http://www.come-and-hear.com/shabbath/shabbath_133.html#133b_9〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abba Saul」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
