High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rabbi Tarfon or Tarphon, a member of the third generation of the Mishnah sages, who lived in the period between the destruction of the Second Temple (70 C.E.) and the fall of Bethar (135 C.E.).He is said to have lived in Yavneh, although it is evident that he lived also in Lod (Lydda). He was of priestly lineage, and he expressly stated that he officiated in the Temple in Jerusalem. As a priest, he would demand the heave-offering even after the Temple had fallen, while his generosity made him return to the father the redemption-money for the first-born, although it was his priestly perquisite.Although wealthy, he possessed extraordinary modesty; in one instance he deeply regretted having mentioned his name in a time of peril, since he feared that in using his position as teacher to escape from danger he had seemingly violated the rule against utilizing knowledge of the Torah for practical ends.
