אמר רבה בר רב שילא מאי קראה (תהלים עא, ד) אלהי פלטני מיד רשע מכף מעול וחומץ רבה אמר מהכא (ישעיהו א, יז) למדו היטב דרשו משפט אשרו חמוץ

Said Raba: And was it not taught as Rab too? But it was taught: The modest withdrew their hands, but the greedy shared.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This describes the state in the Temple after the death of Simeon the Just. Raba assumes that 'shared' means that they traded in their portions, bartering one for another. This must agree with R. Judah, who regards the priest's portion as his private property, to be used as he wishes, and shews that there was no majority decision.');"><sup>19</sup></span> [No.] By 'shared' is meant snatched [other priests' shares].
