[Shabbat 110a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/110a:1)

בַּר קַשָּׁא דְפוּמְבְּדִיתָא דְּטַרְקֵיהּ חִיוְיָא, הֲוָה תְּלֵיסְרֵי חֲמָרֵי חִיוָּרָתָא בְּפוּמְבְּדִיתָא, קַרְעִינְהוּ לְכוּלְּהוּ, וְאִישְׁתְּכַחוּ טְרֵיפָה. הֲוַאי חֲדָא בְּהָהוּא גִּיסָא דְּפוּמְבְּדִיתָא, עַד דְּאָזְלִי מַיְיתִי לַהּ אַכְלַהּ אַרְיָא. אֲמַר לְהוּ אַבָּיֵי: דִילְמָא חִיוְיָא דְּרַבָּנַן טַרְקֵיהּ, דְּלֵית לֵיהּ אָסְוָתָא, דִּכְתִיב: ״וּפֹרֵץ גָּדֵר יִשְּׁכֶנּוּ נָחָשׁ״. אֲמַרוּ לֵיהּ: אִין רַבִּי, דְּכִי נָח נַפְשֵׁיהּ דְּרַב, גְּזַר רַב יִצְחָק בַּר בִּיסְנָא דְּלֵיכָּא דְּלַימְטֵי אַסָּא וְגִידְמֵי לְבֵי הִילּוּלָא [בְּטַבְלָא], וַאֲזַל אִיהוּ אַמְטִי אַסָּא וְגִידְמֵי לְבֵי הִילּוּלָא בְּטַבְלָא. טַרְקֵיהּ חִיוְיָא, וּמִית.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Jewish **official** in **Pumbedita that was bitten by a snake. There were thirteen white donkeys in Pumbedita** and **they tore them all** open **and they were found to be *tereifot*. There was one** donkey **on the other side** of **Pumbedita,** and **until they went to bring it, a lion ate it. Abaye said to them:** Since all of these things have happened, **perhaps a snake of the Rabbis bit him, for which there is no cure, as it is written:** “One that digs a pit will fall into it, and **one who breaches a fence will be bitten by a snake**” (Ecclesiastes 10:8). Perhaps this person violated a rabbinic decree, also known as a fence, and was bitten by a snake as punishment. That bite has no cure. **They said to him: Yes, my teacher,** it is so, **as when Rav died Rav Yitzḥak bar Bisna ruled that one may not bring myrtle and** palm **branches to a wedding hall to** accompany **bells, and he went** and **brought myrtle and** palm **branches to the wedding hall with bells.** Therefore, **a snake bit him. And** it is reported that ultimately the official **died.**

[Shabbat 110a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/110a:2)

הַאי מַאן דְּכַרְכֵיהּ חִיוְיָא — לִינְחוֹת לְמַיָּא וְלִיסְחוֹף דִּיקּוּלָא אַרֵישֵׁיהּ וּלְהַדְּקֵיהּ מִינֵּיהּ, וְכִי סָלֵיק עִילָּוֵיהּ — לִישְׁדְּיֵהּ לְמַיָּא וְלִיסְלוֹק וְלֵיתֵי. הַאי מַאן דְּמִיקַּנֵּי בֵּיהּ חִיוְיָא, אִי אִיכָּא חַבְרֵיהּ בַּהֲדֵיהּ — לַירְכְּבֵיהּ אַרְבַּע גַּרְמִידֵי, וְאִי לָא — לִישְׁוַאר נִגְרָא, וְאִי לָא — לִיעְבַּר נַהֲרָא, וּבְלֵילְיָא — לוֹתְבֵיהּ לְפֻרְיֵהּ — אַאַרְבַּע חָבְיָתָא, וְנִיגְנֵי בֵּי כוֹכְבֵי, וְלַיְיתֵי אַרְבְּעָה שׁוּנָּרֵי וְלֵיסְרִינְהוּ בְּאַרְבְּעָה כַּרְעֵי דְפוּרְיֵיהּ, וְלַיְתֵי שַׁחֲפֵי וְלִישְׁדֵּי הָתָם, דְּכִי שָׁמְעִי קָלֵיהּ אָכְלִי לֵיהּ. הַאי מַאן דְּרָהֵיט אַבָּתְרֵיהּ — לִירְהוֹט בֵּי חָלָתָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara cites additional information about the dangers posed by snakes and how to deal with them. **One whom a snake encircled should descend into water and place a basket on** his **head and remove** the snake slowly **from him** into the basket. **And once the snake goes into** the basket, **let** him **throw it into the water and climb and emerge. One at whom a snake is angry** and is being pursued by a snake, **if he has another with him, let** him **ride him four cubits. And if not, let** him **jump** over **a ditch. And if not, let** him **cross a river. And at night let** him **place his bed on four barrels and sleep** outside beneath **the stars. And let** one **bring four cats and let** one **tie them to the four legs of the bed. And let** one **bring twigs and branches and throw them there so that when** the cats **hear the sound** of the snake crawling **they will eat it. One who is being pursued** by a snake, **let** him **run in sand** because a snake cannot move as quickly in sand as a person can.


###### Shabbat 110a:3
[Shabbat 110a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/110a:3)

הַאי אִיתְּתָא דְּחָזְיָא חִיוְיָא, וְלָא יָדְעָה אִי יָהֵיב דַּעְתֵּיהּ עִילָּוַהּ אִי לָא יָהֵיב דַּעְתֵּיהּ עִילָּוַהּ — תִּשְׁלַח מָאנַהּ וְתִשְׁדֵּי קַמֵּיהּ, אִי מִכְרַךְ בְּהוּ דַּעְתֵּיהּ עִילָּוַהּ, וְאִי לָא — לָא יָהֵיב דַּעְתֵּיהּ עִילָּוַהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**A woman who is seen** by **a snake and does not know whether it has directed his attention** toward **her or whether it has not directed his attention** toward **her, she should remove her garment and throw it before** the snake. **If** the snake **wraps itself in** the garments, it is an indication that **it has directed his attention** toward **her; and if not,** it is an indication that **it has not directed his attention** toward **her.**


###### Shabbat 110a:4
[Shabbat 110a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/110a:4)

מַאי תַּקַּנְתֵּהּ תְּשַׁמֵּשׁ קַמֵּיהּ. אִיכָּא דְאָמְרִי: כׇּל שֶׁכֵּן דְּתָקֵיף לֵיהּ יִצְרֵיהּ! אֶלָּא תִּשְׁקוֹל מִמַּזְּיַהּ וּמִטּוּפְרַהּ וְתִשְׁדֵּי בֵּיהּ, וְתֵימָא: ״דִּישְׁתָּנָא אֲנָא״. הַאי אִיתְּתָא דְּעָיֵיל בַּהּ חִיוְיָא, לִיפַסְּעוּהָ וְלוֹתְבוּהָ אַתַּרְתֵּי חָבְיָתָא, וְלַיְתֵי בִּישְׂרָא שַׁמִּינָה וְלִישְׁדֵּי אַגּוּמְרֵי, וְלַיְתֵי אַגָּנָא דְּתַחְלֵי וְחַמְרָא רֵיחְתָנָא וְלוֹתְבוּ הָתָם, וְלִיטְרוֹקִינְהוּ בַּהֲדֵי הֲדָדֵי, וְלִינְקוֹט צְבָתָא בִּידֵהּ, דְּכִי מוֹרַח רֵיחָא — נָפֵיק וְאָתֵי, וְלִישְׁקְלֵיהּ וְלִיקְלְיֵיהּ בְּנוּרָא, דְּאִי לָא — הָדַר עִילָּוַהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**What is her remedy** so the snake will leave her alone? **She should have relations** with her husband **before** the snake. **Some say:** If she has relations in front of the snake, **all the more so that its desire will become stronger. Rather, she should take from her hair and her nails and throw them at** the snake, **and say** the following **to it** as an incantation: **I am a menstruating woman [*dishtana*]. A woman whom a snake has entered, let them spread her legs and place her on two barrels, and let them bring fatty meat and throw it onto coals. And let them bring her a bowl of cress and fragrant wine and place them there and mix them together. And** she should **take tongs in her hand, as when** the snake **smells** the **fragrance** it **emerges. And** then one **should take** the snake **and burn it in the fire, as if** it is **not** burned, **it will come back onto her.**

[Shabbat 110a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/110a:5)

כׇּל הָאוֹכָלִין כּוּ׳. כׇּל הָאוֹכָלִין לְאֵיתוֹיֵי מַאי? לְאֵיתוֹיֵי טְחוֹל לַשִּׁינַּיִם וְכַרְשִׁינִין לִבְנֵי מֵעַיִים. כׇּל הַמַּשְׁקִין לְאֵיתוֹיֵי מַאי? לְאֵיתוֹיֵי מֵי צְלָפִין בְּחוֹמֶץ. אֲמַר לֵיהּ רָבִינָא לְרָבָא: מַהוּ לִשְׁתּוֹת מֵי רַגְלַיִם בְּשַׁבָּת? אֲמַר לֵיהּ, תְּנֵינָא: ״כׇּל הַמַּשְׁקִין שׁוֹתֶה״, וּמֵי רַגְלַיִם לָא שָׁתוּ אִינָשֵׁי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
We learned in the mishna: **All** types of **food** that healthy people eat may be eaten by one eating them for medicinal purposes on Shabbat. The Gemara asks: The phrase: **All foods, what** does it come **to include?** The Gemara answers: It comes **to include spleen for** healing **teeth** and **vetch for** healing **intestines,** although they are not common foods. We also learned in the mishna: And one may drink all **drinks** on Shabbat. The Gemara asks: The phrase: **All drinks, what** does it come **to include?** The Gemara answers: It comes **to include** mixing **water in which capers have soaked, with vinegar. Ravina said to Rava: What** is the ruling with regard to **drinking urine on Shabbat?** Rava **said to him: We** already **learned** in the mishna: **One may drink all drinks, and people do not drink urine** and is not considered a drink. It is only consumed for medical purposes and is therefore prohibited.

[Shabbat 110a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/110a:6)

חוּץ מִמֵּי דְקָלִים. תָּנָא: חוּץ מִמֵּי דְקָרִים. מַאן דִּתְנָא ״מֵי דְקָרִים״ — שֶׁהֵם דּוֹקְרִים אֶת הַמָּרָה, וּמַאן דְּאָמַר ״מֵי דְקָלִים״ — שֶׁיּוֹצְאִין מִן שְׁנֵי דִקְלֵי. מַאי מֵי דְקָלִים? אָמַר רַבָּה בַּר בְּרוֹנָא: תַּרְתֵּי תָּלֵאי אִיכָּא בְּמַעְרְבָא, וְנָפְקָא עֵינָא דְמַיָּא מִבֵּינַיְיהוּ. כָּסָא קַמָּא — מְרַפֵּי, אִידַּךְ — מְשַׁלְשֵׁל, וְאִידַּךְ — כִּי הֵיכִי דְּעָיְילִי הָכִי נָפְקִי. אָמַר עוּלָּא: לְדִידִי שְׁתֵי [לִי] שִׁיכְרָא דְּבַבְלָאֵי, וּמְעַלֵּי מִינַּיְיהוּ. וְהוּא דְּלָא רְגִיל בֵּיהּ אַרְבְּעִין יוֹמִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
We learned in the mishna: One may drink anything on Shabbat **except for palm tree water [*mei dekalim*].** It was **taught** slightly differently in the *Tosefta*: **Water that stabs [*mei dekarim*].** The Gemara explains: **The one who taught water that stabs** means **that the** waters **pierce the gall bladder; and the one who said palm tree water** means **that they come from two palm trees.** In order to explain **what palm tree water** is, **Rabba bar Beruna said: There are two palm trees in Eretz Yisrael, and a spring of water emerges from between them. The first cup** one drinks of this water **loosens** the intestines, **another** cup **causes diarrhea, and another,** a third cup, **just as it entered** as water, **so** too **it emerges. Ulla said: For me, I drink Babylonian beer, and** it **is more effective than** palm tree water in causing diarrhea. The Gemara comments: **And this is** true. It is effective for the stomach when the person who drinks it **has not become accustomed to** beer **for forty days.**


###### Shabbat 110a:7
[Shabbat 110a:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/110a:7)

רַב יוֹסֵף אָמַר: זֵיתוֹם הַמִּצְרִי תִּילְתָּא שְׂעָרֵי, וְתִילְתָּא קוּרְטְמֵי, וְתִילְתָּא מִילְחָא. רַב פָּפָּא אָמַר: תִּילְּתָא חִיטֵּי, וְתִילְתָּא קוּרְטְמֵי, וְתִילְתָּא מִילְחָא וְכַמּוֹנָא, וְסִימָנָיךְ — סִיסָאנֵי. וְשָׁתֵי לְהוּ בֵּין דִּבְחָא לַעֲצַרְתָּא, דִּקְמִיט — מְרַפֵּי לֵיהּ, וְדִרְפֵי — קָמֵיט לֵיהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Yosef said:** Water that stabs is **Egyptian *zitom*,** which is made from **one-third barley, and one-third saffron, and one-third salt. Rav Pappa said:** It is **one-third wheat, and one-third saffron, and one-third salt and cumin. And** this is **your mnemonic** to remember which said *zitom* is made from barley: A basket which is called ***sisanei*,** a word with two *samekhs.* This word alludes to the fact that Rav Yosef, who has a *samekh* in his name, is the one who says that Egyptian *zitom* is made from barley [*se’orim*], which has the letter *sin. Sin* is interchangeable with *samekh*. **And one** should **drink it between Passover and *Shavuot*. For one whose** intestines **are blocked,** it will **loosen** his intestines and cure **him; and** for one **whose** bowels are **loose,** it will **block him** and cure him as well**.**

[Shabbat 110a:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/110a:8)

וְכוֹס עִקָּרִין. מַאי כּוֹס עִקָּרִין? אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: לַיְיתֵי מַתְקַל זוּזָא קוּמָא אֲלֶכְּסַנְדְּרָיָא, וּמַתְקַל זוּזָא גַּבְיָא גִּילָא, וּמַתְקַל זוּזָא כּוּרְכְּמָא רִישְׁקָא, וְלִישְׁחֲקִינְהוּ בַּהֲדֵי הֲדָדֵי. לְזָבָה — תְּלָתָא בְּחַמְרָא, וְלָא מִיעַקְרָא. לְיַרְקוֹנָא — תְּרֵין בְּשִׁיכְרָא, וּמִיעֲקַר. לְזָבָה תְּלָתָא בְּחַמְרָא, וְלָא מִיעַקְרָא. וְאִי לָא — לַיְיתֵי תְּלָתָא

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And** we also learned about a ***kos ikarin*** in the mishna. The Gemara asks: **What is a *kos ikarin*? Rabbi Yoḥanan said: Let** one **bring the weight of a *zuz* of Alexandrian gum, and a weight of a *zuz* of alum, and a weight of a *zuz* of garden saffron, and let** one **grind them together.** The procedure **for** treating **a *zava*** is that she should drink these **three** ingredients **with wine,** and she will be cured of her emission **and will not become barren. For** treating **jaundice** one should drink **two** of these ingredients **with beer; however, one will become sterile** from it. It was said that **for** treating **a *zava*,** she should drink these **three** ingredients **with wine** and she will be healed from her emission **and will not become barren. And if** it is **not** effective, **let one bring three**
