_Chullin_, fol. 132, col. 2. If a case of mistaken identity should occur between the child of a priestess and the child of her female slave, so that the one cannot be distinguished from the other, they both are to eat of the heave-offering and to receive one share from the threshing-floor. When grown up, each is to set the other free. _Gittin_, fol. 42, col. 2. From the old clothes of the priests the wicks were made for the lamps in the Temple. _Shabbath_, fol. 21, col. 1. Scripture authority is given in proof that the very garments possessed the faculty of making atonement for sin every whit as effectually as animal sacrifices. We are taught that the priest's shirt atones for murder, his drawers atone for whoredom, his mitre for pride, his girdle for evil thoughts, his breastplate for injustice, his ephod for idolatry; his overcoat atones for slander, and the golden plate on his forehead atones for impudence. _Zevachim_, fol. 88, col. 2. All this and a great deal more on the subject may be found in the Selichoth for Yom Kippur. For seven years was the land of Israel strewn with brimstone and salt. _Yoma_, fol. 54, col. 1. "Then shall we raise against him seven shepherds" (Micah. v. 5). Who are these seven shepherds? David in the middle: Adam, Seth, and Methuselah on his right hand; Abraham, Jacob, and Moses on his left. _Succah_, fol. 52, col. 2. Who were the seven prophetesses? The answer is, Sarah, Miriam, Deborah, Hannah, Abigail, Huldah, and Esther. _Meggillah_, fol. 14, col. 2. It is lawful to look into the face of a bride for seven days after her marriage, in order to enhance the affection with which she is regarded by her husband, and there is no Halachah (or law) like this. _Kethuboth_, fol. 17, col. 1. The Rabbis are especially careful to caution their daughters to guard against such habits as might lower them in the regard of their husbands, lest they should lose aught of that purifying and elevating power which they exercised as maidens. It is thus, for instance, Rav Chisda counsels his daughters: "Be ye modest before your husbands and do not even eat before them. Eat not vegetables or dates in the evening, and touch not strong drink." (_Shabbath_, fol. 140, col. 2.) Once upon a time a demon in the shape of a seven-headed dragon came forth against Rav Acha and threatened to harm him, but the Rabbi threw himself on his knees, and every time he fell down to pray he knocked off one of these heads, and thus eventually killed the dragon. _Kiddushin_, fol. 29, col. 2. On the seventh of the month Adar, Moses died, and on that day the manna ceased to come down from heaven. Ibid., fol. 38, col. 1.
