Shabbat

Tabi the hunter in Samuel's name: That the produce of terumah is terumah was also enacted on that day.  What is the reason? — R. Hanina said: It was a preventive measure, on account of undefiled terumah [being retained] in the hand of an Israelite.  Raba observed: If they are suspected of this, they would not separate [terumah] at all: [and furthermore]  since he can render one grain of wheat [as terumah for the whole], in accordance with Samuel,  and does not, he is indeed trusted.  Rather, said Raba, it is a preventive measure on account of unclean terumah in the priest's hands, lest he keep it with him and be led to sin. And another? — R. Hiyya b. Ammi said in 'Ulla's name: That one must give his purse to a Gentile if [the Sabbath] evening falls upon him on the road was also enacted on that day. And another? — Bali said in the name of Abimi of Senawta:  [The interdict against] their bread, oil, wine and daughters  all these are of the eighteen measures. Now, this is well according to R. Meir; but according to R. Jose, there are only seventeen?  — There is also that of R. Aha b. Adda. For R. Aha b. Adda said in R. Isaac's name: Their bread was forbidden on account of their oil, and their oil on account of their wine.  'Their bread on account of their oil'!-wherein is [the interdict of] oil stronger than that of bread?  Rather [say] they decreed against their bread and oil on account of their wine, and against their wine on account of their daughters, and against their daughters on account of 'the unmentionable,'  and [they decreed] something else on account of some other thing. What is this 'something else?'- Said R. Nahman b. Isaac: They decreed that a heathen child shall defile by gonorrhoea,  so that an Israelite child should not associate with him for sodomy.  But if so, according to R. Meir too [it is difficult, for] there are nineteen!-Food and drink which were defiled through liquid he accounts as one. MISHNAH.
