VERS., VIII.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, &c.
And brought forth fruit, some an hundred, &c.
THESE words are spoken according to the fruitfulness of the land of Israel; con∣cerning which the Talmudists speak much, and hyperbolically enough: which ne∣vertheless they confess to be turned long since, into miserable barrenness; but are dim∣sighted as to the true cause of it.
h 1.1 They treat of this matter, and various stories are produced, which you may see: we will only mention these two.
R. Jochanan said, The worst fruit which we eat, in our youth, excelled the best which we now eat in our old age: for in his days the World was changed.
R. Chaijah bar Ba said 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉The Arbelite bushel formerly yelded a bushel of flower, a bushel of meal, a bushel of bran, and a bushel of course bran, and a bushel of courser bran yet, and a bushel of the coursest bran also: but now, one bushel scarcely comes from one bushel.
