The Complete Passuk

כַּגּוֹיִ֗ם אֲשֶׁ֤ר יְהֹוָה֙ מַאֲבִ֣יד מִפְּנֵיכֶ֔ם כֵּ֖ן תֹּאבֵד֑וּן עֵ֚קֶב לֹ֣א תִשְׁמְע֔וּן בְּק֖וֹל יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃ {פ}

like the nations that GOD will cause to perish before you, so shall you perish—because you did not heed the ETERNAL your God.

Core Idea of Chazal

Core Idea
פס'. כגוים אשר ה' מאביד מפניכם, (כט) מה הם בנביא אף אתם בנביא. עקב לא תשמעון. תחת אשר עקב תשמעון, לא שמעתם. תשמעון יען וביען:

English: See Hebrew Core Idea.

On the daf / in context: EXTRA on a SKIP passuk; classical material on this verse’s theme, not a TT-numbered unit.

Type of Learning

Derash on the verse (Bavli sugya) — not a formal named middah of the 13

The Gemara uses this passuk in a sugya (proof, illustration, or dispute). Named as one of R' Yishmael’s 13 or R' Eliezer’s 32 only when that move is explicit.

What Is Learned

Classical derasha on this SKIP verse, added so the side-ring carries verified Chazal beyond TT.
