Commentary for Avodah Zarah 48:20
רב אשי אמר כמאן קרו פרסאי לנידה דשתנא מהכא (בראשית לא, לה) כי דרך נשים לי
R. Ashi said: According to whom do the Persians call a menstruant a “Dashtana”? From here, “For the way of a woman is upon me” (Genesis 31:35).
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
Rabbis dispute whether Jethro’s visit to Moses (in Exodus 18) happened before or after the giving of the Torah (chapters 19-20). For those who hold that it happened after the giving of the Torah, we still need to resolve how Jethro could bring his own animal as an offering. The answer is that Jethro bought the animal from an Israelite.
