question:
Context: For the Tanna sage of the 5th generation , see Judah haNasi ( Judah I ) . For the Amora sage of the 1st generation , see Judah II ( Nesi'ah I ) . For the Amora sage of the 6th generation , see Judah IV ( Nesi'ah III ) . Judah III ( or Nesi'ah II ; Hebrew : ) held the office of Nasi of the ancient Jewish Sanhedrin between 290 and 320 CE. He is a famous Jewish sage mentioned in the classical works of Judaism 's oral law , who lived during the third and beginning of the fourth century CE. He figures in the Mishnah and Talmud . He was the son of Gamaliel IV , and grandson of Judah II. It is often difficult to know when the Mishna and Talmud are referring to Judah II or Judah III ; they do not clearly distinguish between them . Since the title '' Nesi'ah '' was borne by both , which of the two in any citation is meant by '' Judah Nesi'ah '' can be gathered only from internal evidence , especially from the names of the scholars mentioned in the context . Judah III held the office of patriarch probably during the close of the third and the beginning of the fourth century . He was a pupil of Johanan ( d. 279 ) ; in a question regarding the time of the new moon , which he sent to Rav Ammi , he introduces a sentence taught to him by Johanan with the words : '' Know that R. Johanan has taught us thus all his life long '' ( R. H. 20a ) . Judah III. commissioned Johanan 's pupils Ammi and Assi , who directed the Academy of Tiberias in the Land of Israel , after Eleazar 's death , to organize the schools for children in the Palestinian cities ( Yer . ag . 76c ; Pesi . 120b ) ; Ammi especially appears as his councilor in haggadic questions ( Beah 27a ; M. . 12b , 17a ; Ab . Zarah 33b ) ., Babylonia was an ancient Akkadian-speaking state and cultural area based in central-southern Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq). A small Amorite-ruled state emerged in 1894 BC, which contained at this time the minor city of Babylon. Babylon greatly expanded during the reign of Hammurabi in the first half of the 18th century BC, becoming a major capital city. During the reign of Hammurabi and afterwards, Babylonia was called "Mt Akkad" "the country of Akkad" in the Akkadian language.
It was often involved in rivalry with its older fellow Akkadian-speaking state of Assyria in northern Mesopotamia. Babylonia briefly became the major power in the region after Hammurabi (fl. c. 1792 1752 BC middle chronology, or c. 1696 1654 BC, short chronology) created a short-lived empire, succeeding the earlier Akkadian Empire, Third Dynasty of Ur, and Old Assyrian Empire; however, the Babylonian empire rapidly fell apart after the death of Hammurabi., The Jerusalem Talmud ("Talmud Yerushalmi", often "Yerushalmi" for short), also known as the Palestinian Talmud or Talmuda de-Eretz Yisrael (Talmud of the Land of Israel), is a collection of Rabbinic notes on the second-century Jewish oral tradition known as the Mishnah. Naming this version of the Talmud after Palestine or Land of Israel rather than Jerusalem is considered more accurate by some because, while the work was certainly composed in "the West" (as seen from Babylonia), i.e. in the Holy Land, it mainly originates from the Galilee rather than from Jerusalem in Judea, as no Jews lived in Jerusalem at this time The Jerusalem Talmud was compiled in the Land of Israel, then divided between the Byzantine provinces of Palaestina Prima and Palaestina Secunda, and was brought to an end sometime around 400. The Jerusalem Talmud predates its counterpart, the Babylonian Talmud (known in Hebrew as the "Talmud Bavli"), by about 200 years, and is written in both Hebrew and Jewish Palestinian Aramaic., The Sanhedrin (Hebrew: "sanhedrin", Greek: , "synedrion", "sitting together," hence "assembly" or "council") was an assembly of twenty-three to seventy-one men appointed in every city in the Land of Israel. In the Hebrew Bible, Moses and the Israelites were commanded by God to establish courts of judges who were given full authority over the people of Israel, who were commanded by God to obey every word the judges instructed and every law they established. Judges in ancient Israel were the religious leaders and Teachers of the nation of Israel. The Mishnah arrives at the number twenty-three based on an exegetical derivation: it must be possible for a "community" to vote for both conviction and exoneration. The minimum size of a "community" is 10 men (10 vs 10). One more is required to achieve a majority (11 vs 10), but a simple majority cannot convict, and so an additional judge is required (12 vs 10). Finally, a court should not have an even number of judges to prevent deadlocks; thus 23 (12 vs 10 and 1). This court dealt with only religious matters., The Talmud (Hebrew: ' "instruction, learning", from a root ' "teach, study") is a central text of Rabbinic Judaism. It is also traditionally referred to as, a Hebrew abbreviation of ', the "six orders", a reference to the six orders of the Mishnah. The term "Talmud" normally refers to the collection of writings named specifically the Babylonian Talmud "(Talmud Bavli)", although there is also an earlier collection known as the Jerusalem Talmud, or Palestinian Talmud"' "(Talmud Yerushalmi)". When referring to post-biblical periods, namely those of the creation of the Talmud, the Talmudic academies and the Babylonian exilarchate, Jewish sources use the term "Babylonia" long after it had become obsolete in geopolitical terms., Judaism (from , derived from Greek , originally from Hebrew , "Yehudah", "Judah"; in Hebrew: , "Yahadut", the distinctive characteristics of the Judean ethnos) encompasses the religion, philosophy, culture and way of life of the Jewish people. Judaism is an ancient monotheistic religion, with the Torah as its foundational text (part of the larger text known as the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible), and supplemental oral tradition represented by later texts such as the Midrash and the Talmud. Judaism is considered by religious Jews to be the expression of the covenantal relationship that God established with the Children of Israel. With between 14.5 and 17.4 million adherents worldwide, Judaism is the tenth-largest religion in the world., Judah II or Nesi'ah I was a famous Jewish sage who lived in Tiberias in the Land of Israel, in the middle of the third century CE. He is mentioned in the classical works of Judaism's oral law, the Mishnah and Talmud., Tiberias ("Tveria", "Tabariyyah"; Ancient Greek: , "Tiberias") is an Israeli city on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. Established around 20 CE, it was named in honour of Emperor Tiberius. In it had a population of ., Subject: judah iii, Relation: date_of_death, Options: (A) 1 (B) 10 (C) 12 (D) 14 (E) 17 (F) 1752 (G) 1792 (H) 1894 (I) 20 (J) 23 (K) 290 (L) 4 (M) 400
