class="shortdescription nomobile noexcerpt noprint searchaux" style="display:none">Biblical phrase</div> <p><b>"It is time to work for the Lord"</b> is the first half of a verse in Psalms that has served as a dramatic slogan at several junctures in <a href="/wiki/Judaism" title="Judaism">rabbinic Judaism</a>. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Psalm_119" title="Psalm 119">Psalm 119:126</a> states: "It is time for the Lord to act, for your law has been broken" (<i>New Oxford Annotated Bible</i> ad loc.; <a href="/wiki/Hebrew_language" title="Hebrew language">Hebrew</a>: <span lang="he" dir="rtl">עֵ֭ת לַעֲשֹׂ֣ות לַיהוָ֑ה הֵ֝פֵ֗רוּ תֹּורָתֶֽךָ</span> <i>Eth la'asot la-adonai he-feru Toratekha</i>). This verse would seem to suggest that, when the wicked are breaking the commandments, God will deliver the steadfast. </p><p>However, in the readings of rabbinic <a href="/wiki/Midrash" title="Midrash">midrash</a>, an alternate meaning of the verse is given, due to an ambiguity in the <a href="/wiki/Biblical_Hebrew" title="Biblical Hebrew">Biblical Hebrew</a>: instead of God acting in response to sin, humans should act on behalf of God. Thus, the verse may be understood as: "It is time to work for the Lord..." </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=It_is_time_to_work_for_the_Lord&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the <a href="/wiki/Tannaim" title="Tannaim">tannaitic</a> period, the sage <a href="/wiki/Hillel_the_Elder" title="Hillel the Elder">Hillel the Elder</a> cited the verse to call fellow Jews to intensively study the Torah when it is neglected. (<a href="/wiki/Ephraim_Urbach" title="Ephraim Urbach">Ephraim Urbach</a> interprets Hillel as calling for fuller observance of the Torah commandments in general, <i>The Sages</i> pp. 341f.) Rabbi Nathan makes a related gesture, for Jewish efforts against heresy, at the end of <a href="/wiki/Mishnah" title="Mishnah">Mishnah</a> Berakhot. Nathan transposes the two halves of the verse thus: "They have made void your law, it is time to work for the Lord." (See Urbach, 836n.93) </p><p>In the <a href="/wiki/Talmud" title="Talmud">Talmudic</a> period, the verse is thus called upon to justify the radical shift in rabbinic belief after the destruction of the Temple. Due to the conditions of exilic Jewry, the rabbinic leadership decided to permit the <a href="/wiki/Oral_Torah" title="Oral Torah">Oral Torah</a> to be transcribed in writing and disseminated. The verse is interpreted to mean that "It is better that one letter of the Torah [the verse forbidding the writing down of the Oral Torah] should be uprooted than that the whole of the Torah be forgotten." (<i>Temurah</i> 14b, Elon <i>Jewish Law</i> 5:1, Louis Jacobs, p. 133 trans.) </p><p>In the modern period, the dramatic character of the verse again enters the stage. The verse is among those utilized to justify rabbinic innovations in <a href="/wiki/Halakhah" class="mw-redirect" title="Halakhah">halakhah</a>. In Enlightenment period Germany, both the <a href="/wiki/Reform_Judaism" title="Reform Judaism">Reform rabbis</a> and their <a href="/wiki/Orthodox_Judaism" title="Orthodox Judaism">Orthodox</a> opponents cite the verse to justify the urgent nature of their actions ("It is time to act for the Lord"). The two conflicting positions see quite different referents for the verse's "they have voided the law"—the Reformers felt the need to accommodate the growing disinterest in Jewish law, whereas the Orthodox felt that the Reformers themselves were voiding the law.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=It_is_time_to_work_for_the_Lord&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Psalm_119" title="Psalm 119">Psalm 119</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=It_is_time_to_work_for_the_Lord&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Elon <i>Jewish Law</i> 14:3, 14:5</span> </li> </ol></div></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sources">Sources</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=It_is_time_to_work_for_the_Lord&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Sources"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>On the <a href="/wiki/Baraita" title="Baraita">baraita</a> of Hillel the Elder, see <i>Tosefta Berakhot</i> 6:24 and Lieberman <i>ad loc</i>.</li> <li>Talmud Berakhot 63</li> <li>Nathan Birnbaum, “Et la’asot,” //trans: "It is time to work (for the Lord)" // in Nathan Birnbaum, ed.<i>, Divrei ha-olim</i> (Vienna, 1917)</li> <li>Elon. <i>Jewish law</i></li> <li>Jacobs. <i>A Tree of Life: Diversity, Flexibility, and Creativity in Jewish Law</i></li> <li>Urbach. <i>The Sages</i></li></ul> <p>Other uses: </p> <ul><li>Ra'avad on <a href="/wiki/Maimonides" title="Maimonides">Maimonides</a> (<i>H.
