[If] a woman is being taken out to be executed, we do not wait for her to give birth. [If] she sat upon the birthstool, we must wait for her to give birth. [If] a woman was executed, we may benefit from her hair. [If] an animal was put to death, any benefit from it is forbidden.

There is no erech [which is] less than a sela, nor more than fifty selaim. How so? [If] he gave a sela and then became wealthy, he gives nothing; [if he gave] less than a sela, and then became wealthy, he must give fifty selaim. [If] he had in his hands five selaim, R’ Meir says: He need only give one. But the Sages say: He must give them all. There is no erech less than a sela, nor more than fifty selaim. There is no [returning to the] beginning [of the niddah cycle] for one who erred [in her calculation] in less than seven [days] nor [in] more than seventeen [days].

We do not make less than four intercalated months in a year, and it does not appear [correct to make] more than eight. The Two Loaves are eaten not less than two [days after baking], nor more than three [days afterwards]. The Panim Breads are eaten not less than nine [days after baking], nor more than eleven [days afterwards]. An infant is circumcised not less than eight [days old], nor more than twelve.

We do not [blow] less than twenty-one trumpet blasts in the Temple, nor more than forty-eight. We do not [use] less than two lyres, nor more than six. We do not [use] less than two flutes, nor more than twelve. On twelve days during the year, the flute plays before the Altar: During the slaughtering of the first pesach offering, and during the slaughtering of the second pesach offering, and on the first Yom Tov of Pesach, and on the Yom Tov of Shavuos, and on the eight days of the Festival. And he would not play a copper flute, but a reed flute, because its sound is pleasant. And he would conclude with only a single flute, because it would make for a better close.
