Core Text of Chazal

Core Text
יורה ומלקוש. יורה במרחשון ומלקוש בניסן, או אינו אלא יורה בכסליו, ת"ל בעתו יורה ומלקוש, מה מלקוש בעתו אף יורה בעתו

English: “Yoreh and malkosh” — yoreh in Marcheshvan and malkosh in Nisan. Or perhaps yoreh in Kislev? Scripture says “in its time, yoreh and malkosh”: just as malkosh falls in its proper time, so yoreh falls in its proper time.

On the daf / in context: Taanit 6a.

Type of Learning

Custom (timing of early and late rains)

What Is Learned

Both rains must come in their appointed seasons; “in its time” governs yoreh as well as malkosh.
