[Bava Batra 73a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Bava%20Batra/r/73a:1)

וְלֵימָא מַחְלוֹקֶת רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן וְרַבָּנַן! הָא קָא מַשְׁמַע לַן – דְּרַבִּי מְנַחֵם בְּרַבִּי יוֹסֵי כְּרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן סְבִירָא לֵיהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **But let us say** that this is **the dispute between Rabbi Shimon and the Rabbis,** as it was concluded previously that according to Rabbi Shimon himself, even the carob and sycamore trees are not consecrated. The Gemara answers: Reish Lakish **teaches us this, that Rabbi Menaḥem, son of Rabbi Yosei, holds in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Shimon,** and therefore Rabbi Shimon is not the only Sage who holds this opinion.

**הַמּוֹכֵר אֶת הַסְּפִינָה** – מָכַר אֶת הַתּוֹרֶן וְאֶת הַנֵּס וְאֶת הָעוֹגִין, וְאֶת כָּל הַמַּנְהִיגִין אוֹתָהּ. אֲבָל לֹא מָכַר לֹא אֶת הָעֲבָדִים, וְלֹא אֶת הַמַּרְצוּפִין, וְלֹא אֶת הָאַנְתִיקֵי. וּבִזְמַן שֶׁאָמַר לוֹ: ״הִיא וְכׇל מַה שֶּׁבְּתוֹכָהּ״ – הֲרֵי כּוּלָּן מְכוּרִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** **One who sells a ship has sold** along with it **the *toren*, and the *nes*, and the *ogin*, and all** of the equipment that is used for **directing it. But he has not sold the slaves** who serve as oarsmen, **nor the packing bags** that are used for transporting goods, **nor the *antikei*** on the ship. **And when one said to** the buyer: You are purchasing **it,** the ship, **and all that it contains, all of these** latter elements **are** also **sold.**

**גְּמָ׳** ״תּוֹרֶן״ – אִיסְקַרְיָא. וְכֵן הוּא אוֹמֵר: ״אֶרֶז מִלְּבָנוֹן לָקָחוּ לַעֲשׂוֹת תֹּרֶן עָלָיִךְ״. ״נֵס״ – אַדְרָא. וְכֵן הוּא אוֹמֵר: ״שֵׁשׁ בְּרִקְמָה מִמִּצְרַיִם הָיָה מִפְרָשֵׂךְ לִהְיוֹת לָךְ לְנֵס״. ״עוֹגִין״ – תָּנֵי רַבִּי חִיָּיא: אֵלּוּ עוֹגִינִין שֶׁלָּהּ. וְכֵן הוּא אוֹמֵר: ״הֲלָהֵן תְּשַׂבֵּרְנָה עַד אֲשֶׁר יִגְדָּלוּ, הֲלָהֵן תֵּעָגֵנָה לְבִלְתִּי הֱיוֹת לְאִישׁ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** The ***toren*** is the **mast [*iskarya*]. And** in this regard **it states: “They have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts [*toren*] for you”** (Ezekiel 27:5). The ***nes*** is the **sail, and** in this regard **it states: “Of fine linen with richly woven work from Egypt was your sail, that it might be to you for an ensign [*nes*]”** (Ezekiel 27:7). With regard to the meaning of ***ogin*, Rabbi Ḥiyya teaches: These are** the ship’s **anchors, and** so **it states: “Would you tarry for them until they were grown? Would you shut yourselves off for them [*te’agena*] and have no husbands?”** (Ruth 1:13). This demonstrates that the root *ayin*, *gimmel*, *nun*, means being shut up and held firmly in one place.

״מַנְהִיגִין״ – אָמַר רַבִּי אַבָּא: אֵלּוּ הַמְּשׁוֹטִין שֶׁלָּהּ. וְכֵן הוּא אוֹמֵר: ״אַלּוֹנִים מִבָּשָׁן עָשׂוּ מִשּׁוֹטָיִךְ״. וְאִי בָּעֵית אֵימָא, מֵהָכָא: ״וְיָרְדוּ מֵאֳנִיּוֹתֵיהֶם כֹּל תֹּפְשֵׂי מָשׁוֹט״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The mishna teaches that the buyer acquires all the equipment used for **directing** the ship. **Rabbi Abba says: These are the** ship’s **oars. And** this is as **it states: “Of the oaks of Bashan they have made your oars”** (Ezekiel 27:6). Since a verse discussing ships focuses on its oars, evidently the oars are an integral part of the ship. **And if you wish, say** instead that it is demonstrated **from here: “And all that handle the oar,** the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, **shall come down from their ships”** (Ezekiel 27:29).

תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: הַמּוֹכֵר אֶת הַסְּפִינָה – מָכַר אֶת הָאִיסְכָּלָה, וְאֶת בּוֹר הַמַּיִם שֶׁבְּתוֹכָהּ. רַבִּי נָתָן אוֹמֵר: הַמּוֹכֵר אֶת הַסְּפִינָה – מָכַר אֶת הַבִּיצִּית. סוֹמְכוֹס אוֹמֵר: הַמּוֹכֵר אֶת הַסְּפִינָה – מָכַר אֶת הַדּוּגִית.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**The Sages taught: One who sells a ship has** also **sold the gangway [*iskala*]** used for boarding the ship, **and the water tank it contains. Rabbi Natan says: One who sells a ship has sold the** ship’s **boat [*bitzit*],** which is used as a lifeboat or for fishing in shallow waters. **Sumakhos says: One who sells a ship has sold the *dugit*,** as explained below.

אָמַר רָבָא: בִּיצִּית הַיְינוּ דּוּגִית. רַבִּי נָתָן – בַּבְלָאָה הֲוָה, קָארֵי לַהּ: ״בּוּצִּית״ – כִּדְאָמְרִי אִינָשֵׁי: בּוּצִּיָאתָא דְמֵיאשָׁן. סוֹמְכוֹס – דְּבַר אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל, קָארֵי לַהּ: ״דּוּגִית״, כְּדִכְתִיב: ״וְאַחֲרִיתְכֶן בְּסִירוֹת דּוּגָה״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rava said:** The ***bitzit* is** the same as the ***dugit*. Rabbi Natan was a Babylonian,** and therefore **he called** small boats ***butzit*, as people say: The *botziata*,** small boats, **of Miashan. Sumakhos, who was from Eretz Yisrael, called** these boats ***dugit*, as it is written:** “You shall be taken away with hooks, **and your residue in fishing boats [*duga*]”** (Amos 4:2).

אָמַר רַבָּה, אִשְׁתַּעוּ לִי נָחוֹתֵי יַמָּא: הַאי גַּלָּא דִּמְטַבַּע לִסְפִינָה – מִיתְחֲזֵי כִּי צוּצִיתָא דְנוּרָא חִיוּוֹרְתָּא בְּרֵישָׁא, וּמָחֵינַן לֵיהּ בְּאַלְווֹתָא דַּחֲקִיק עֲלֵיהּ – ״אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה יָהּ ה׳ צְבָאוֹת אָמֵן אָמֵן סֶלָה״, וְנָיַיח.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The Gemara cites several incidents that involve ships and the conversation of seafarers. **Rabba said: Seafarers related to me** that when **this wave that sinks a ship appears with a ray of white fire at its head, we strike it with clubs that are inscribed** with the names of God: **I am that I am, *Yah*, the Lord of Hosts, amen amen, Selah. And** the wave then **abates.**

אָמַר רַבָּה, אִשְׁתַּעוּ לִי נָחוֹתֵי יַמָּא: בֵּין גַּלָּא לְגַלָּא תְּלָת מְאָה פַּרְסֵי, וְרוּמָא דְגַלָּא תְּלָת מְאָה פַּרְסֵי. זִימְנָא חֲדָא הֲוָה אָזְלִינַן בְּאוֹרְחָא, וְדַלִּינַן גַּלָּא עַד דַּחֲזֵינַן בֵּי מַרְבַּעְתֵּיהּ דְּכוֹכְבָא זוּטָא, וְהַוְיָא לִי כְּמִבְזַר אַרְבְּעִין גְּרִיוֵי בִּזְרָא דְחַרְדְּלָא. וְאִי דַּלִּינַן טְפֵי – הֲוָה מִקְּלֵינַן מֵהַבְלֵיהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabba said: Seafarers related to me** that in a certain place **between** one **wave and** the next **wave** there are **three hundred parasangs, and the height of a wave is three hundred parasangs. Once,** seafarers recounted, **we were traveling along the route and a wave lifted us up until we saw the resting place of a small star, and it** appeared **to me** the size of the area needed for **scattering forty *se’a* of mustard seeds. And if it had lifted us higher, we would have been scorched by the heat** of the star.

וְרָמֵי לַהּ גַּלָּא קָלָא לַחֲבֶרְתַּהּ: ״חֲבֶירְתִּי, שְׁבַקְתְּ מִידֵּי בְּעָלְמָא דְּלָא שְׁטַפְתֵּיהּ, דְּנֵיתֵי אֲנָא וּנְאַבְּדֵיה?ּ״ אָמַר לֵיהּ: ״פּוֹק חֲזִי גְּבוּרְתָּא דְּמָרִיךְ, מְלָא חוּטָא חָלָא – וְלָא עֲבַרִי, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ׳הַאוֹתִי לֹא תִירָאוּ נְאֻם ה׳, אִם מִפָּנַי לֹא תָחִילוּ אֲשֶׁר שַׂמְתִּי חוֹל גְּבוּל לַיָּם, חׇק עוֹלָם וְלֹא יַעַבְרֶנְהוּ׳״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And the wave raised its voice** and shouted **to another** wave: **My friend, did you leave anything in the world that you did not wash away, that I may come and destroy it?** The second wave **said to it: Go out** and **see the greatness of your Master,** God, as even when there is **as much as a string of sand** on the land **I cannot pass, as it is stated: “Will you not fear Me, said the Lord; will you not tremble at My presence? Who has placed the sand for the bound of the sea, an everlasting ordinance, which it cannot pass?”** (Jeremiah 5:22).

§ **Rabba said: I have seen** the one called **Hurmin, son of Lilith, when he was running on the pinnacles of the wall of** the city of **Meḥoza, and a horseman was riding an animal below him but was unable** to catch up to **him. Once, they saddled for him two mules and they stood**
