Semitic is a linguistic designation. Pat’s a lost cause.

Oooh, fun!

Can I transliterate the Aramaic to Roman letters?

Doubt it

Shnyim ochazim b’talis. Zeh omar ani matzasiya v’zeh omar ani matzasiya. What can ChatGPT do with that? 😂

Chubby has never read the Bible apparently

Hey, that’s correct. It’s the opening mishna from Bava Metziah

ChatGPT is correct

That is hilarious 😂

But the translation into Sanskrit is wrong

They are holding the same garment, not wearing different ones.

And garment isn’t the best translation of the word “tallis” into English

But there’s really no better word in English.

It’s a ritual prayer shawl.

But it was worn like a garment when that was written

It wasn’t a prayer shawl then. 😂 But it was square shaped

And that concludes our lesson for this morning

The short version is they split it in this case.

They both swear an oath they don’t own less than half of it. It covers the case where the both find the garment simultaneously. There is no evidence regarding who owns it.

It describes a very specific circumstance!to define a legal principle. E.g., they have to grab it simultaneously.

This is more a theoretical case. But swearing a false oath would have been viewed as an egregious religious crime then. Not worth it for a half of a piece of cloth.

It’s why the court has them swear they don’t own less than half. Can’t make them swear contradictory oaths.

Courts absolutely can make people takes oaths. It’s what keeps honest people honest.

At least back then
