It hath been said, whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce.

They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put her away?

They gave him vinegar to drink. (mingled with bile: and having tasted, he would not drink.

And they said, Moses allowed to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.

And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.

For I see thee being in the bile of bitterness, and bond of iniquity.
