Talmud for Bava Batra 7:1

ברם בריחיא דידן שלשה מן האיצטרוביל שהן ארבעה מן הקלת: ואת התנור שלשה מן הכיליא שהן ד' מן השפה. ר' יודן בן פזי אמר מן השפה החיצונה ולפנים ורבנן אמרי מן השפה הפנימית ולחוץ. היה עשוי כשובך מהו נישמעינ' מהדא רבי יהודה אומר עד שתהא תחתיו מעזיבה שלשה טפחים ובכירה טפח. וכירה לא כמין שובך היא עשויה ותימר בין מלמעלן בין מלמטן טפח. וכא בין מלמעלן בין מלמטן שלשה טפחים:

R. Aha said: It is written (in Gen. xliv. 3): "As soon as the morning was light." The Tori calls the light "morning." R. Ishmael taught: It is written "every morning," so as to give a limit for him who desires to know when the morning commences. R. Yosse bar R. Aboon said: If you think to call night, the time that the sun takes to traverse the heavens (from dawn to radiancy), it would be equivalent to saying that the day and the night do not resemble each other (the night would lengthen out to the morning by this addition; but we are taught that on the first day of the Equinox of Nissan ', and on the first day of the Equinox of Tissri, the day and the night are equal). R. Hoona says: One can accept the usual custom as a term of comparison. Thus, when the king starts to go out, he is said to be out; but when he commences to return, he is not said to be returned, until it is an accomplished fact (it is the same with the sun).

Jerusalem Talmud Bava Batra

HALAKHAH: “I am selling you a bet kor of dust,” etc. Here, you say that “he has received it.” But there, you say that “not only the quarter [qab] he has to return but all the excess”21In Mishnah 2 it is stated that if the deviation of the delivered real estate from the contracted amount be less than 1/24, the contract was validly satisfied. But in Mishnah 3 it is stated that if the difference was more than 1/24, the entire excess beyond the contracted amount must be restituted, not only the excess beyond 104.167% over the contracted amount.? They said, since you exclude him from the rule of “less22Short for “more or less than ..”. than measured by the surveyor’s measuring tape” you return him to the rules of “by the surveyor’s measuring tape.”

Jerusalem Talmud Bava Metzia

HALAKHAH: “He who leases a dwelling to another person,” etc. Why? If he came to claim at the end of the month, can he collect everything44Since the tenant is already living in the house, the landlord is the claimant and on him is the burden of proof that the contract was written as a monthly lease.? And if he came to him at the beginning of the month, he can tell him, get out45The tenant claims that he has the right to live there rent free; the burden of proof is on him. The restrictions on evictions spelled out in Mishnah 8 only apply to tenants who are not in arrears with their payments.. Samuel says, the Mishnah is so: If he came to claim in the middle of the month46This is a case of “money in doubt”; Babli 102b.. Rav said, a rule to collect47He disagrees with the Mishnah and would have ruled for the landlord; Babli 102b. דָגַר is short for דְאָגַר; E reads here: דִּינָא דְגָרְדֵיי דָנוּ “they gave a judgment of weavers”. The text of L seems preferable.. Rebbi La said, this clearly does not follow the rule of Ben Nannas who said, the later language supersedes the earlier one48In Mishnah Bava batra 7:4. Since months are mentioned last, the lease is per month only and every month is payable. This is Rav’s reason in the Babli..
