This is an early draft. I haven't proofread; there are plenty of typos and probably some more significant errors as well.

Most pages on this site are currently auto-translated. The autotranslations are intended as a starting point for my manual translations. At best, they are awkward stringing-togethers of words and phrases in the corpus database that can benefit from cleaning up. At worst, they are picking the wrong homograph. Auto-translations are indicated by italics.

I am not a rabbi or an expert. These are my translations, and in some cases I am certainly misunderstanding things.

The Talmud is a document of its time. While the Talmud is a foundational document of Judaism, it must be read in its historical context. There are passages that are xenophobic, sexist, and irreconcilable with modern science. Not everything in these pages represents contemporary Judaism.

Copyright

This translation is protected by copyright. I'm putting a lot of effort into this project. Please respect that by only copying with my permission.

I intend to provide free licenses for most uses. I plan to use a Creative Commons CC-NC-BY-SA license, which will allow you to re-use my translations as long as you don't charge money for them (NC), as long as you give me credit (BY), and as long as you make your derived work available under the same terms (SA). But I'm not ready to do that yet because this is still a very rough work-in-progress.

In the meantime, if you want to re-use this, please contact me. I am willing to discuss re-use on an ad hoc basis. Perhaps the one page you want to use is actually ready for re-use. Ask. I'll probably work out a way to say "yes."

Credits

I need to clean up this section. But for now, I'll note that I've made use of the Hebrew/Aramaic text of the Bavli at Mechon Mamre; Jastrow's dictionary; "The Practical Talmud Dictionary" by Yitzchak Frank. I've also used the big three translations of the Talmud --- Soncino (English), Artscroll (English), and Steinsaltz (Hebrew) --- and the Kehati (English) edition of the Mishna, to help me understand passages before translating them.

Consider the following case: two are grasping i.e., have taken hold of a garment this one of them says I found it and this one of them says I found it this one of them says All of it is mine and this one of them says All of it is mine this one of them shall vow that there is not in it, of his, less than half and this one of them shall vow that there is not in it, of his, less than half and they shall divide it

A variation on that case this one of them says all of it is mine and this one of them says half of it is mine The one who says all of it is mine he shall vow that there is not in it, of his, less than three portions out of four and the one who says half of it is mine he shall vow that there is not in it, of his, less than one-fourth this one of them takes three portions and this one of them takes one fourth

there were two riding on regarding livestock or, there was one riding and one leading ??? this says all of it is mine and this says all of it is mine this shall vow that there is not in it, of his, less than half and this shall vow that there is not in it, of his, less than half and they shall divide at a time in a case when they acknowledge or in which they have witnesses they divide without a vow
