Moed Katon, fol. 28, col. 1.
The judges who issued decrees at Jerusalem received for salary ninety-nine manahs from the contributions of the chamber.
Kethuboth, fol. 105, col. 1.
Ninety-nine die from an evil eye for one who dies in the usual manner.
Bava Metzia, fol. 107, col. 2.
The Rabbis have taught us who they are that are to be accounted rich. “Every one,” says Rabbi Meir, “who enjoys his riches.” But Rabbi Tarphon says, “Every one who has a hundred vineyards and a hundred fields, with a hundred slaves to labor in them.” Rabbi Akiva pronounces him well off who has a wife that is becoming in all her ways.
Shabbath, fol. 25, col. 2.
A light for one is a light for a hundred.
Ibid., fol. 122, col. 1.
When a Gentile lights a candle or a lamp on the Sabbath-eve for his own use, an Israelite is permitted to avail himself of its light, as a light for one is a light for a hundred; but it is unlawful for an Israelite to order a Gentile to kindle a light for his use.
A hundred Rav Papas and not one (like) Ravina!
A hundred zouzim employed in commerce will allow the merchant meat and wine at his table daily, but a hundred zouzim employed in farming will allow their owner only salt and vegetables.
Yevamoth, fol. 63, col. 1.
A hundred women are equal to only one witness (compare Deut. xvii. 6 and xix. 15).
Ibid., fol. 88, col. 2.
If song should cease, a hundred geese or a hundred measures of wheat might be offered for one zouz, and even then the buyer would refuse paying such a sum for them.
Soteh, fol. 48, col. 1.
Rav says, “The ear that often listens to song shall be rooted out.” Music, according to the idea here, raises the price of provisions. Do away with music and provisions will be so abundant that a goose would be considered dear at a penny. Theatres and music-halls are abominations to orthodox Jews, and the Talmud considers the voice of a woman to be immoral.
When Rabbi Zira returned to the land of Israel he fasted a hundred times in order that he might forget the Babylonian Talmud.
Bava Metzia, fol. 85, col. 1.
This passage, as also that on another page, will appear surprising to many a reader, as we confess it does to ourselves. We must, however, give the Talmud great credit for recording such passages, and also the custodians of the Talmud for not having expunged them from its pages.
“Ye shall hear the small as well as the great” (Deut. i. 17). Resh Lakish said, “A lawsuit about a prutah (the smallest coin there is) should be esteemed of as much account as a suit of a hundred manahs.”
Sanhedrin, fol. 8, col. 1.
