we are concerned

<<for two

<<Shvireis.

<<Rav Chisda said to Rabbah:

<<go out

<<and look,

<<for this evening

<<will ask

<<it

<<Rav Huna

<<of you.

<<He went out,

<<examined

<<and found:

<<for we learned:

<<every

<<act of

<<a court —

<<he

<<must return.

Rav Amram said to Rabbah:

<<how

<<does resolve

<<the master

<<a prohibition

<<from a monetary matter?

<<He said to him:

<<dullard,

<<“documents of

<<chalitzah

<<and refusal”

<<we learned.

Burst

<<the cedar

<<of the house of

<<Rav.

<<One master

<<said:

<<because of

<<the curse

<<of mine

<<it burst;

<<and one master

<<said:

<<because of

<<the curse

<<of mine

<<it burst;

“If he found

<<in a container

<<or

<<in a chest.”

<<What is

<<a container?

<<Rabbah bar bar Chanah said:

<<a skin

<<small.

<<What is

<<a chest?

<<Rabbah bar Shmuel said:

<<a bag

<<of elders.

“A roll

<<of

<<documents

<<or

<<a bundle

<<of

<<documents”

<<etc.

<<The Rabbis taught:

<<how much

<<is

<<a roll

<<of

<<documents?

<<Three

<<rolled

<<one

<<in another.

<<And how much

<<is

<<a bundle

<<of

<<documents?

<<Three

<<tied

<<one

<<to another.

You learn from it

<<a knot

<<is a mark.

But

<<taught

<<Rabbi Chiya:

<<Three

<<rolled

<<one

<<in another.

If so,

<<that is the same as

<<a roll?

<<A roll:

<<each

<<one

<<and one

<<at the head

<<of its fellow;

<<a bundle:

<<that they lie

<<upon one another

<<(and are rolled).

What

<<does he announce —

<<the number?

What

<<is the relevance of

<<three?

<<Even

<<two

<<also!

Rather,

<<as said

<<Ravina:

<<“coins”

<<he announces;

<<here too

<<“documents”

<<he announces.

“Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel

<<says:

<<one

<<who borrows

<<from three —

<<he must return

<<to the borrower”

<<etc.

<<For if

<<it enters your mind

<<that lenders

<<they are —

<<what

<<were they doing

<<with one another?

Perhaps

<<to authenticate them

<<they went?

<<Where they are authenticated.

Perhaps

<<from the hand of

<<the scribe

<<they fell?

<<Does not

<<leave

<<a person

<<his authentication

<<in the hand of

<<the scribe.

“Three

<<who borrowed

<<from one —

<<he must return

<<to the lender”

<<etc.

<<For if

<<it enters your mind

<<that borrowers

<<they are —

<<what

<<were they doing

<<with one another?

Perhaps

<<to have them written

<<they went?

<<Where they are written

<<by three

<<hands of

<<scribes.

And perhaps

<<to authenticate them

<<they went?

<<A lender

<<authenticates

<<his document;

<<a borrower

<<does not

<<authenticate

<<his document.

“If

<<there are

<<with them

<<receipts —

<<he shall do

<<what

<<is in the receipts.”

<<Rav Yirmeya bar Abba said in the name of Rav:

<<a receipt

<<that comes out

<<from under

<<the hands of

<<the lender —

<<even though

<<it is written

<<in the handwriting

<<of his hand —

<<it is nothing

<<but

<<like one jesting,

<<and invalid.

It need not be said

<<written

<<in the handwriting

<<of the hand of

<<a scribe,

<<for one can say

<<a scribe

<<chanced

<<upon him

<<and he wrote;

<<but

<<even

<<written

<<in the handwriting

<<of his hand

<<is invalid.

<<He thinks:

<<perhaps

<<it will happen

<<and he will come

<<at twilight

<<and repay

<<me,

<<and if

<<I do not

<<give

<<to him

<<he will not

<<give

<<me

<<the money;

<<let me write

<<myself

<<that when

<<(he brings)

<<[he brings]

<<me

<<my money

<<I will give

<<to him.

We learned:

<<if

<<there are

<<with them

<<receipts —

<<he shall do

<<what

<<is in the receipts.

As said

<<Rav Safra:

<<where it was found

<<among

<<documents

<<that are torn;

<<here too

<<where he found it

<<among

<<documents

<<that are torn.

Come and hear:

<<if there was found

<<for one

<<among

<<his documents

<<the document

<<of

<<Yosef

<<son of

<<Shimon

<<paid —

<<the documents

<<of both of them

<<are paid!

As said

<<Rav Safra:

<<where it was found

<<among

<<documents

<<that are torn;

<<here too

<<where it was found

<<among

<<documents

<<that are torn.

Come and hear:

<<“an oath

<<that did not

<<instruct us

<<father,

<<and that did not

<<say

<<to us

<<father,

<<and that we did not

<<find

<<among

<<his documents

<<of

<<father

<<that document

<<this

<<is paid”.

Rav Safra said:

<<where it was found

<<among

<<documents

<<that are torn.

Come and hear:

<<a receipt

<<that has

<<on it

<<witnesses

<<shall be authenticated

<<by its signatories.

<<Say:

<<“it shall be authenticated

<<from its signatories”!
