The opening
1
The Samaritans in some of their ways resemble the Gentiles and in some resemble Israel, but in the majority they resemble Israel.
We do not accept from them for offering [in the Temple] sacrificial birds brought by males with a flux, or sacrificial birds brought by females with a flux, or sacrificial birds brought by women after childbirth, or sin-offerings or trespass-offerings, but we receive from them vows and free-will-offerings.
We do not transfer to them anything attached to the soil, or sell to them sheep to shear, or crops to reap or trees attached to the soil, but we sell them animals to slaughter.
We do not sell them large cattle even if they are mutilated, or foals or calves; but we may sell them a mutilated animal which can never recover.
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
