The teacher abstains through one day and one night from sexual intercourse and from eating flesh. 3. Raw flesh, a Kandla, a woman that has lately been confined, or that has her courses, seeing blood or persons whose hands have been cut off: (these persons and things he shall know form) impediments for the study. 4.
