Rosh Hashanah 11B

עדות ביהוסף שמו בצאתו וגו׳״.

And immediately afterward it is written: “This He ordained in Joseph for testimony, when he went out over the land of Egypt” (Psalms 81:6), implying that Joseph’s release from prison took place on Rosh HaShana.

בראש השנה בטלה עבודה מאבותינו במצרים ⁠— כתיב הכא: ״והוצאתי אתכם מתחת סבלות מצרים״, וכתיב התם: ״הסירותי מסבל שכמו״.

It was also taught in the baraita: On Rosh HaShana our forefathers’ slavery in Egypt ceased. From where is this known? It is written here: “And I will bring you out from under the burdens of Egypt” (Exodus 6:6); and it is written there, with regard to Joseph: “I removed his shoulder from the burden” (Psalms 81:7). From here it is derived by verbal analogy between the two instances of the word “burden” that just as Joseph was released from prison in Tishrei, so too, the slavery of our forefathers in Egypt ended in Tishrei.

בניסן נגאלו ⁠— כדאיתא. בתשרי עתידין ליגאל ⁠— אתיא ״שופר״ ״שופר״. כתיב הכא: ״תקעו בחדש שופר״, וכתיב התם: ״ביום ההוא יתקע בשופר גדול״.

It was taught in the baraita: In Nisan our forefathers were redeemed from Egypt, as it is explicitly stated in the Torah. The baraita continues: In Tishrei in the future the Jewish people will be redeemed in the final redemption. This is derived by means of a verbal analogy between one instance of the word shofar and another instance of the word shofar. It is written here, with regard to Rosh HaShana: “Sound a shofar at Rosh Chodesh” (Psalms 81:4), and it is written there, with regard to the final redemption: “And it should come to pass on that day, that a great shofar should be blown” (Isaiah 27:13).

רבי יהושע אומר: בניסן נגאלו, בניסן עתידין ליגאל ⁠— מנלן? אמר קרא: ״ליל שמורים״⁠ — ליל המשומר ובא מששת ימי בראשית.

It was also taught in the baraita: R' Yehoshua says: In Nisan our forefathers were redeemed from Egypt; and in Nisan in the future the Jewish people will be redeemed in the final redemption. The Talmud asks: From where do we derive that the final redemption will be in Nisan? The verse states: “It is a night of watching for YHWH for bringing them out from the land of Egypt; this is YHWH’s night of watching, for all the children of Israel throughout their generations” (Exodus 12:42). This teaches that the night of Passover is a night that has been continuously watched, i.e., set aside for the purpose of redemption, from the 6 days of Creation, and it will continue to be so until the final redemption.
