... man's field,8 teaching that valuation is to be made in conjunction with the field applies to produce which was still in need of a field, whereas these fruits [in the case before us],9 since they were no more in need of a field, must be compensated at their actual value. R. Huna b. Hiyya said that R. Jeremiah stated that Rab gave judgment [in contradistinction to the usual rule]10 in...
.... Why then not pay for actual dates of which the owner was deprived? Why then pay for ripe dates? Including the ground occupied by them. I.e. Eliezer Ze'era.

... Babylonian Talmud: Baba Kamma 65 Previous Folio / Baba Kamma Directory / Tractate List / Navigate Site Babylonian Talmud: Tractate Baba Kamma Folio 65a this gives me the rule only as applying to his hand.

... barrel of wine which was then [worth] one zuz but which became subsequently worth four zuz, if he broke it or drank it he has to pay four,14 but if it broke of itself he has to pay one zuz.15 [Would Rab really differ from this view?]16 — It may however, be said that Rab's rule applied to a case where, e.g., it was at the beginning worth four [zuz] but subsequently worth one [zuz...
... made inquiry and found a heathen who possessed three hundred jars of apple-cider seventy years old. [Rabbi] drank some of it and recovered; whereupon he exclaimed, 'Blessed be the All-present Who delivered His Universe into the keeping of guardians!'11 THE SAME RULE APPLIES TO THE HEAVE-OFFERING. How is this phrase to be understood? — R. Shesheth said: [It means that] the same rule applies to a...
... the Sanctuary6 — such is the statement of R. Eliezer; but the Sages say: Their purpose is to include plates of beaten gold.7 [Raba] replied to [R. Huna]: I reason from the lenient to the strict view and you reason from the strict to the lenient view; and the rule is that where it is possible to reason to both conclusions we argue to the strict view. R. Papa said to Raba: But is it a fact...
..., therefore, a genuine case against the rule quoted by Raba. The corn being now ground into flour. So by analogy the flour should be permitted. Hence the query propounded by Rami is a point of issue between Tannaim. Rashi corrects the text to: Raba said in the name of R. Nahman. In the parallel passage (Tem. 30b) the reading is: R. Huna b. Hinnena said in the name of R. Nahman. Tractate List / Glossary...
... inside. You have seen a beautiful figure, but you couldn't look at it as you liked, as much you liked. Now a lingering incompletion will continue inside. You can suppress it when you are awake - you are occupied in many other things, and the suppression is possible - but when you go to sleep, the incomplete link unfolds a dream and completes the thing. This state of dreaming, the rishi says, means...
... most approximate word that we have for God. It is the closest possible that human language can reach, because love knows how to be silent; love knows how to give without any conditions. Love is something that is bigger than you. Logic is always smaller than you; love is always bigger. Logic you manipulate, you control; love possesses you. You cannot manipulate it, you cannot control it; you are...
... against another. R. Ashi said: Now that you rule, If the usufruct exceeded the loan, [the balance] is not returnable; then even if it [merely] equalled it, he must not be dismissed without payment. Why? Because to dismiss him without payment is tantamount to making him return [what he has already had]; whereas it is only indirect interest, which is not reclaimable at law. R. Ashi gave a practical...
... [when making the loan], 'I will not quit it [before a certain time]' — then surely he has so stipulated [and it is binding]. But what if he promised to quit [immediately on repayment] where the usage does not compel him to go: is it necessary to submit him to a binding act15 or not?16 — R. Papa said: It is unnecessary; R. Shesheth the son of R. Idi ruled: It is necessary. And...
... third as your payment'?7 — No. It means that he said to him,8 'Either the excess above a third, or the calf's head for the breeder.'9 Alternatively, when did Rab rule that [a stipulation], 'Receive the excess above a third as your payment,' is permitted, when he [the breeder] has a cow of his own, for people say, 'It is the same whether one mixes fodder for an ox or for oxen.10...

So they came before R. Papa.27 Said he to him [the plaintiff]: What difference does it make? Thus did R. Nahman rule: Monies...
... FROM EXCREMENT? FOUR CUBITS. Raba said in the name of R. Sehora reporting Rab: This was meant only if he leaves it behind him, but if he keeps it in front of him he must remove completely out of sight. The same rule applies to Tefillah. Is that so? Has not Rafram b. Papa said in the name of R. Hisda: A man can stand facing a privy [four cubits away] and say the Tefillah? What is referred to here?2...

Does setting aside count or does it not count?5 — What Rabina wanted to know was whether one might stand in it to pray therein, but as to facing it [he was] not [in doubt].6 Raba said: These Persian privies, although there is excrement in them, are counted as closed in.7 MISHNAH.
