[If] one steals a lamb from the flock and returns it, and it dies or is stolen, he is responsible for it. [If] the owners were aware neither of its theft nor of its return, and they counted the flock and it was complete, he is exempt.

We may not purchase wool, milk, or kids from shepherds, nor wood or fruit from watchmen of fruit; but we may purchase from women woolen garments in Judea, linen garments in Galilee, and calves in Sharon. But [if] any of them says that they must be kept hidden, it is prohibited. We may purchase eggs and fowl anywhere.
