out of the two hundred,[i.e.,] out of the residue of the two hundred which was left in the vault, whence we learn that 'orlah is nullified in [an excess of] two hundred;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' 'Out of the two hundred' is unintelligible in itself. Hence the Talmud assumes that it refers to the wine of the drink-offering (libation) which accompanied the continual burnt-offering (Num. XXVIII, 7f) , and the meaning is this: if one part of forbidden wine, sc. wine of 'orlah, as much as is required for the drink-offering, becomes mixed with two hundred times as much permitted wine, so that when the required quantity is removed from the wine-vault there still remains two hundred times as much, then it may be used, the 'orlah having been nullified by the excess. - This is actually deduced from elsewhere (in Sifre) , and this verse is merely quoted as support.');"><sup>1</sup></span> from the well-watered pastures of Israel: from that which is permitted to Israel.
