Rabbinical eras |

Rav Hiyya bar Joseph [1] (or Rav Hiyya bar Yosef; [2] Hebrew: רבי חייא בר יוסף [3]) was a Babylonian rabbi of the 3rd century (second generation of amoraim).
In Babylonia, he lived in a place called Sikara on the shore of the Tigris river, near Mahuza, [4] and had served as the city sage instituting measures.
He mainly studied under Rav and frequently quotes his teachings. [5] He would sometimes go to Samuel's school and submit secondhand reports of Rav, and get Samuel's response. [6] He was also a student of Samuel (probably after the death of Rav, like some other of Rav's students), and addressed him with questions, [7] and would sometimes dispute him. [8]
Later on he made Aliyah to the Land of Israel. Here he made his livelihood from salt trading. [9] Little is known about his family, except that after immigrating to the Land of Israel alone, he sent someone to bring his wife. [10]
Upon arrival to the Land of Israel he studied with R. Yochanan bar Nafcha and Shimon ben Lakish, [11] and submitted to them rulings by Rav. [12] Even with Yochanan bar Nafcha he disputed on various matters. [13] He also studied under R. Hiyya bar Abba. [14] The Talmud also mentions that Hiyya bar Joseph is addressing Yochanan bar Nafcha with questions, however, he was probably not considered Yochanan's pupil: in a dispute among them, Hiyya bar Joseph is mentioned first, and various doubts on halachic matters were brought before both of them as one. [15] At times, Hiyya bar Joseph also delivers statements in the name of Hoshaiah Rabbah. [16]
Rav Giddel studied under him when he was still in Babylonia, and delivers statements in his name that are secondhand statements made by Rav. [17] The rabbis of Caesarea, the students of Caesarean academy, also cite laws in his name. [18]
