"کوچنی یہود" کے نسخوں کے درمیان فرق

However, their status and their rule of law, as well as their prayer, are just as ours."

Not that the Germans are really derived from Canaan, since this has been refuted by later scholars, but only for the sake of clarity of intent do we make mention of this fact. Al-Dhahiri knew, just as we know today, that German Jews had settled in Cochin, the most notable families of which being Rottenburg and Ashkenazi, among others. In [[ابراہیم بن عزرا]]’s commentary on Obadiah 1:20, he writes: “Who are [among] the Canaanites. We have heard from great men that the land of Germany (Alemania) they are the Canaanites who fled from the children of Israel when they came into the country.” Rabbi [[David Kimchi]] (1160–1235)، in his commentary on Obadiah 1:20, writes similarly: “۔.۔Now they say by way of tradition that the people of the land of Germany (Alemania) were Canaanites, for when the Canaanite [nation] went away from Joshua, just as we have written in the Book of Joshua, they went off to the '''land of Germany''' (Alemania) and Escalona, which is called the land of Ashkenaz, while unto this day they are called Canaanites.” Notwithstanding, the editor Yehuda Ratzaby, in his ''Sefer Hamussar'' edition (published in 1965 by the Ben Zvi Institute in Jerusalem)، thought that Zechariah al-Dhahiri’s intention here was to “emancipated Canaanite slaves,” in which case, he takes the word literally as meaning Canaanite. Still, his view presents no real problem, since in Hebrew parlance, a Canaanite slave is a generic term which can also apply to any domestic slave derived from other nations as well and which are held by the people of Israel. Conclusion: According to al-Dhahiri, he saw the German Jews in Cochin as being descendants of German proselytes.</ref>انہیں یہودی  ضابطوں اور روایات  پر عبور حاصل تھا وہ تورات کی احکامات کو تسلیم کرتے  اور اس کی سزائیں  جاری کرتے تھے میں ان مقدس اجتماعات میں تین ماہ رہا۔<ref>{{cite web|last=Al-Dhahiri|first=Zechariah|title=Sefer Ha-Musar|publisher=(ed.
