of all beasts; a man must not bind camels
one to another, and lead them, but he may take their ropes into his hand,
and hold them, guarding that they be not twisted."(106)

4. One must not bring forth an ass with a pack-saddle, when it is not tied
upon him before the Sabbath; nor with a bell, even though it be muffled,
nor with a ladder(107) on its throat, nor with a strap on its leg; nor may
cocks and hens be led forth with twine or straps on their legs. Nor may
rams be led forth with a gocart under their tails, nor ewes with John
wood.(108) And the calf must not be led forth with a muzzle, nor a cow
with the skin of the hedgehog,(109) nor with a strap between her horns.
The cow(110) of Rabbi Eleazar, the son of Azariah, used to go out with a
strap between her horns, but not with the will of the Sages.

Chapter VI

1. "With what may a woman go out?" And "with what may she not go out?" "A
woman may not go out with laces of wool, nor with laces of flax, nor with
straps on her head, and she cannot baptize herself in them till she
unloose them; nor with frontlets, nor temple fillets, unless sewn to her
cap, nor with a headband, into the public street, nor with a golden crown
in the form of Jerusalem, nor with a necklace, nor with nose-rings, nor
with a ring without a seal, nor with a needle without an eye; but, if she
go out, she is not guilty of a sin-offering."

2. A man must not go out with hobnailed sandals,(111) nor with one sandal
when there is no sore on his other foot, nor with phylacteries, nor with
an amulet unless it be of an expert, nor with a coat of mail, nor with a
helmet, nor with greaves; but, if he go out, he is not guilty of a
sin-offering.

3. "A woman must not go out with an eyed needle, nor with a signet ring,
nor with a spiral head-dress, nor with a scent-box, nor with a bottle of
musk; and if she go out she is guilty of a sin-offering." The words of
Rabbi Meier. But the Sages "absolve the scent-box and the bottle of musk."

4. The man must not go out with sword, nor bow, nor shield, nor sling, nor
lance; and if he go out he is guilty of a sin-offering. Rabbi Eleazar
said, "they are his ornaments." But the Sages say, "they are only for
shame, as is said, 'And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.' "(112) Garters are
clean, and they may go forth in them on Sab
