hand is shorter
than his hand:* ‘There are four that will not be
accepted as
sacrifices: The one-eyed animal that is obviously blind
in one eye;
the sick animal that is obviously sick; the lame animal
with an
obvious limp; and the animal that is so emaciated that it is
as if
there is no marrow in its bones.’” He said:** “And I
dislike that the
animal should have some fault in its ears.” He
said: “What you
dislike, forget about it and do not make it
forbidden to anyone.”
