Rabbinic literature is concerned with lineage when determining appropriate marital partners. For the rabbis, not all Jews may marry all other Jews. Some Jews have a lower lineage status and may only marry others of similar status. Scholars have assumed that the Amoraim of Babylonia were more stringent towards matters of lineage than their Palestinian counterparts. However, the talmudic sources themselves do not neatly fit with this dichotomy. Additionally, this generalization does not capture the variety of ways that the Amoraim perceived lineage. In this article, I propose a shift of focus towards the different terminologies and discourses in Amoraic sources, which provide a richer understanding of the ways in which they viewed genealogy, and wished to shape it. These terminologies reflect different ways in which the rabbis constructed the idea of a Jewish people, and its components.

“翻阅您的书，使我成为完美的匹配：”谈论巴勒斯坦和巴比伦的家谱

在确定合适的婚姻伴侣时，拉比文献关注血统。对于拉比来说，并非所有犹太人都可以嫁给所有其他犹太人。有些犹太人的血统较低，只能与其他类似血统的人结婚。学者们认为，巴比伦的阿莫赖姆人比巴勒斯坦人对血统更为严格。但是，滑石粉来源本身并不完全适合这种二分法。此外，这种概括没有捕获Amoraim感知血统的各种方式。在本文中，我建议将注意力转移到无语资源中的不同术语和话语上，从而使他们对家谱的看法有了更丰富的理解，并希望塑造家谱。
