דסד"א דאי נפק ליה רגל ומכי זבנה עד השתא אכתי לא מלו ליה תלתין יומין לא נימא תלתין משרא שרי ליה לשהויי אלא כיון דנפק ליה רגל לא מבעי ליה לשהויי

of Eretz Yisrael or in Syria even in inhabited settlements, and needless to say also outside Eretz Yisrael. Another [Baraitha] taught: 'It is not right to breed small cattle in Eretz Yisrael. They may, however, be bred in the deserts of Judah and in the desert at the border of Acco.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' [MS.M.: Kefar Amiko, N. of Acco, v. Klein, NB.p. 9.] ');"><sup>35</sup></span> Still though the Sages said: 'It is not right to breed small cattle' it is nevertheless quite proper to breed large cattle, for we should not impose a restriction upon the community unless the majority of the community will be able to stand it. Small cattle could be imported from outside Eretz Yisrael, whereas large cattle could not be imported from outside Eretz Yisrael.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And cattle could not be dispensed with in an agricultural country where they are vital for field work. ');"><sup>36</sup></span> Again, though they said: 'It is not right to breed small cattle', one may nevertheless keep them before a festival for thirty days and similarly before the wedding festivity of his son for thirty days. He should, however, not retain the animal last bought for thirty days [if these expire after the festival]. So<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' [Following MS.M., which omits 'For you might think' occurring in cur. edd., the whole passage appears to be a copyist's gloss on the cited Baraitha; v. D.S. a.l.] ');"><sup>37</sup></span> that if the festival had already gone, though since from the time he bought the animal until that time thirty days had not yet elapsed we do not say that a period of thirty days is permitted for keeping the animal, but [we are to say that] as soon as the festival has gone he should not retain it any longer.

Tosefta Bava Kamma

1. The one who steals needs to pay double the value [of the animal.] If the thief cooked or sold, s/he pays four and five times.

Tosefta Sotah

Rabbi Ishmael said: From the day that the Temple was destroyed, it would be appropriate that we not eat meat or drink wine (since these were used in the Temple service). But a court does not decree (restrictions) on the community which they cannot uphold. He would say that since they (the Romans) decree upon us that we not learn Torah, we should decree upon the community that they not marry women (since they do not know marriage and family laws), and not have children - and as a consequence, the seed of Abraham will cease. Rather, leave Israel alone (to continue to do as they now do, marrying and having families); it is better that (if they transgress), they do so inadvertently and not intentionally.
