[אמרו המגיהים מתחלת הפרשה עד מעשה ידי להתפאר קי"ד א' הוא מן הסבא ויגענו ומצאנו הנסחא מדויקת תלי"ת.] פָּתַח ר' שִׁמְעוֹן ואָמַר, (שמות כ״א:א׳) וְאֵלֶּה הַמִּשְׁפָּטִים אֲשֶׁר תָּשִׂים לִפְנֵיהֶם, תַּרְגוּם, וְאִלֵּין דִּינַיָּא דִּתְסַדֵּר קֳדָמֵיהוֹן. אִלֵּין אִינּוּן סִדּוּרִין דְּגִלְגּוּלָא, דִּינִין דְּנִשְׁמָתִין, דְּאִתְדָּנוּ כָּל חַד וְחַד לָקֳבֵל עוֹנְשֵׁיהּ.AND THESE ARE THE JUDGEMENTS WHICH THOU SHALT SET BEFORE THEM. R. Simeon here introduced the subject of transmigration of souls, saying: ‘Onkelos translates the above words as follows: “These are the judgements which thou shalt order before them”. In other words, “These are the orders of the metempsychosis; the judgements of the souls, by which each of them receives its appropriate punishment.” Associates, the time is now arrived to reveal diverse hidden and secret mysteries in regard to the transmigration of souls.
