Le Talmud forme un corpus inachevé et en constante quête de sens. Ainsi ses développements sont-ils des réécritures de la Bible qui ne craignent pas de revisiter, voire de subvertir, certains passages bibliques jugés hermétiques et peu viables pour le modèle de société que voulaient ériger les Sages du Talmud. L'interprétation talmudique s'élabore donc par un processus de construction et de déconstruction à plusieurs voix, ordonné au projet éthique de ses auteurs. Cet essai montre les modalités du raisonnement du Talmud, avec ses cheminements propres, ses particularités, mais aussi ses incohérences. Les passages bibliques étudiés ici concernent tout particulièrement la femme et la famille, car c'est là qu'apparaît le plus clairement la tension entre éthique et révélation biblique. Selon la Bible, un enfant désobéissant doit être lapidé, un mari jaloux peut soumettre sa femme à une cérémonie avilissante pour prouver son adultère. Peut-on vivre dans une société qui accomplirait effectivement de telles prescriptions ? Quelle est la place du fantasme et du refoulement au sein de cette société ? Telles sont quelques-unes des questions auxquelles s'efforce de répondre cette étude.

The Talmud forms an incomplete body of work that is constantly searching for meaning. Its developments are rewritings of the Bible that never fear to revisit, or even subvert, certain biblical passages deemed arcane and no longer viable for the social model the Rabbis of the Talmud wished to edify. The Talmudic interpretation is elaborated following a multi-voice process of construction and deconstruction, organised according to its writers' ethical intentions. This essay illustrates the Talmud's method of reasoning, with its inherent course of thought, distinctive features, as well as its incoherencies. The Biblical passages examined here focus particularly on women and the family for that is where the tension between ethics and Biblical revelation is most clearly evident. According to the Bible, a disobedient child must be lapidated and a jealous husband can subject his wife to a degrading ceremony to prove her adultery. Can one live in a society that would carry out such instructions? What place is there for fantasy and repression in that society? These are just a few of the questions this study undertakes to answer.
