Hillel

Japanese: ヒレル（英語表記）Hillel

[Born] Around 70 B.C.
A Jewish rabbi born in Babylon around the 10th year of his life. He studied in Jerusalem at about the age of 40 and became a leader of the Pharisees. In opposition to the influential Shammai sect among the Pharisees at the time, he summarized the method of legal interpretation based on deduction and analogy in "Seven Rules" and took the position of progressive logic. In terms of ethics, he summarized the spirit of the entire law in a way that seemed to express the Golden Rule of Christianity in reverse, "Do not do to your neighbor what you would not want done to yourself," and he was open to non-believers and converts. After Shammai's death, those who followed Hillel formed the Hillel sect and became the mainstream in legal interpretation.

[没]後10頃
ユダヤ教のラビ。バビロン生れ。 40歳頃エルサレムに遊学し，パリサイ人の指導者となった。当時パリサイ派内で有力であったシャンマイ派に対抗して，演繹と類推をもとにした律法解釈の方法を「7則」にまとめ，進歩的論理主義の立場に立った。また倫理の面では，律法全体の精神を「自分にとっていやなことを隣人に対してするな」という，キリスト教の黄金律を逆に表現したような形で要約し，異教徒や改宗者に対しても開かれた態度で接した。シャンマイ亡きあと，ヒレルに従うものがヒレル派を形成，律法解釈の主流を占めた。
