Avodah Zarah, fol. 9, col. 1.

Foolish saints, crafty villains, sanctimonious women, and self-afflicting Pharisees are the destroyers of the world.  What is it to be a foolish saint?  To see a woman drowning in the river and refrain from trying to save her because of the look of the thing.  Who is to be regarded as a crafty villain?  Rabbi Yochanan says, “He who prejudices the magistrates by prepossessing them in favor of his cause before his opponent has had time to make his appearance.”  Rabbi Abhu says, “He who gives a denarius to a poor man to make up for him the sum total of two hundred zouzim; for it is enacted that he who possesses two hundred zouzim is not entitled to receive any gleanings, neither what is forgotten in the field, nor what is left in the corner of it (see Lev. xxiii. 22), nor poor relief either.  But if he is only one short of the two hundred zouzim, and a thousand people give anything to him, he is still entitled to the poor man’s perquisites.”

Soteh, fol. 21, col. 2.

The cup of David in the world to come will contain two hundred and twenty-one logs; as it is said (Ps. xxiii. 5), “My cup runneth over,” the numerical value of the Hebrew word, “runneth over,” being two hundred and twenty-one.

Yoma, fol. 76, col. 2.

In the world to come the Holy One will make a grand banquet for the righteous from the flesh of the leviathan. Bava Bathra, fol. 75, col. 1. (See the Morning Service for the middle days of the Feast of Tabernacles.) God will make a banquet for the righteous on the day when He shows His mercy to the posterity of Isaac.  After the meal the cup of blessing will be handed to Abraham, in order that he may pronounce the blessing, but he will plead excuse because he begat Ishmael.  Then Isaac will be told to take the cup and speak the benediction of grace, but he also will plead his unworthiness because he begat Esau.  Next Jacob also will refuse because he married two sisters.  Then Moses, on the ground that he was unworthy to enter the land of promise, or even to be buried in it; and finally Joshua will plead unworthiness because he had no son.  David will then be called upon to take the cup and bless, and he will respond, “Yea, I will bless, for I am worthy to bless, as it is said (Ps. cxvi. 13), ’I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.’” P’sachim, fol. 119, col. 2.  This cup, as we are told above, will contain two hundred and twenty-one logs (which the Rabbis tell us, is the twenty-fourth part of a seah, therefore this cup will hold rather more than one-third of a hogshead of wine).

Beruriah once found a certain disciple who studied in silence.  As soon as she saw him she spurned him and said, “Is it not thus written (2 Sam. xxiii. 5), ‘Ordered in all and sure’?  If ordered with all the two hundred and forty-eight members of thy body, it will be sure; if not, it will not be sure.”  It is recorded that Rabbi Eliezer had a disciple who also studied in silence, but that after three years he forgot all that he had learned.
