bath. Anklets(113) contract
uncleanness, and they must not go out in them on Sabbath.

5. A woman may go out with plaits of hair whether they be her own, or her
companion's, or a beast's hair, with frontlets and temple fillets, when
they are sewn to her cap, with a headband or a stranger's curl into the
courtyard, with wool in her ear, and wool in her shoe, and wool prepared
for her separation, with pepper, or with a grain of salt,(114) or with
anything which she will put inside her mouth, except that she shall not
put it in for the first time on the Sabbath, and if it fall out she must
not put it back. "A false tooth or a tooth of gold?" Rabbi "allows it."
But the Sages "forbid it."

6. A woman may go out with a coin on a sore foot. Little girls may go out
with plaits and even splinters in their ears. Arab women go out veiled,
and Median women with mantillas; and so may any one, but, as the Sages
have said, "according to their custom."

7. A mantilla may be folded over a stone, or a nut, or money, save only
that it be not expressly folded for the Sabbath.

8. "The cripple may go out on his wooden leg." The words of Rabbi Meier.
But Rabbi Jose forbids it. "But if it have a place for receiving rags?"
"It is unclean." His crutches cause uncleanness by treading. But they may
go out with them on the Sabbath, and they may enter with them into the
Temple court. The chair and crutches (of a paralytic) cause uncleanness by
treading, and they must not go out with them on the Sabbath, and they must
not enter with them into the Temple court. Stilts(115) are clean, but they
must not go out with them.

9. The sons may go out with their (father's) girdles. And sons of kings
with little bells; and so may anyone, but, as the Sages have said,
"according to their custom."

10. "They may go out with an egg of a locust,(116) and a tooth of a
fox,(117) and a nail of one crucified, as medicine."(118) The words of
Rabbi Meier. But the Sages say (others read the words of Rabbi Jose and
Rabbi Meier) "it is forbidden even on a week day, because of the ways of
the Amorites."(119)

Chapter VII

1. The Sages laid down a great rule for the Sabbath: "Everyone who forgets
the principle of Sabbath, and did many works on many Sabbaths, is only
responsible for one sin-offering. Everyone who knows the principle of
Sabbath, and did many works on many Sabbaths, is responsible for every
Sabbath. Everyone who knows that there is Sabbath, and di
