IF THE [BRIDEGROOM] AGREED TO TAKE HER IN NAKED HE (51) MAY NOT SAY, ‘WHEN I HAVE TAKEN HER INTO MY HOUSE I SHALL CLOTHE HER WITH CLOTHES OF MY OWN’, BUT HE MUST PROVIDE HER WITH CLOTHING WHILE SBE IS STILL IN HER FATHER'S HOUSE. SIMILARLY IF AN ORPHAN IS GIVEN IN MARRIAGE (52) SHE MUST BE ‘CIVEN NOT LESS THAN FIFTY ZUZ. LF [TZEDAKAH] FUNDS ARE. AVAILABLE (53) SHE IS TO BE FITTED OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE.

On one occasion he could not find a slave to run before him, so he himself ran before him for three miles, Our Rabbis taught: It once happened that the people of Upper Galilee bought for a poor member of a good family of Sepphoris (8) a pound of meat every day. (9) ‘A pound of meat’! What is the greatness in this? — R, Huna replied: (It was] a pound of fow's meat. (10) And if you prefer I might say: {They purchased] ordinary meat for a pound (11) of money]. (12) R. Ashi replied: The place was (13) a small village (14) and everyday a beast had to be spoiled for his sake. (15) ist A certain man once applied to (16) R.
