VERS. V.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, &c.

Which of you shall have an Ass or an Ox fallen into a pit, &c.

IT being an undoubted maxim, That they must deal mercifully with an Israelite's goods: The Doctors in many things dispensed with the Sabbath for the preservation of a Beast c 1.1 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 They do not play the midwives with a Beast that is bringing forth its young on a Feast-day, but they help it. :〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 How do they help it? They bear up the young one, that it doth not fall upon the ground: They bring wine and spirit it into the nostrils, they rub the paunch of the damme, so that it will suckle its young.

d 1.2 A firstling if it fall into a ditch (on a Feast-day, or the Sabbath) let the Mumcheh look into it, and if there be any blemish in it, let him take it out and kill it: if not, let him not kill it. He draws it out however, that it might not be lost. And so they deal with other Beasts, only the Mumcheh, or he that is to try them for their blemishes, is not made use of.
