... their dwelling-places.15 This rule [about pulling down a synagogue] only applies if no cracks have appeared in it, but if cracks have appeared, they may pull down first and build afterwards. A case in point is that of R. Ashi, who, observing cracks in the synagogue of Matha Mehasia,16 had it pulled down.

There were two butchers who made an agreement with one another that if either killed on the other's day, the skin of his beast should be torn up.

.... [G] 'wheat', 'corn'; gen. 'food', 'victuals'. [G], 'a buyer of corn', corn merchant'. Gen. 'provision dealer'.
