They put up animals in inns of Samaritans, even males in the places of females and females in the places of males, and it is unnecessary to say males in the places of males and females in the places of males. They give possession of an animal to their shepherd, and they give over their child to teach him book(s) and to teach him art and to be alone with him. A daughter of Israel (may) act as a midwife or a wet-nurse for a Samaritan woman and a Samaritan (woman may) act as a midwife or a wet-nurse for an Israelite woman. They do not put up an animal in inns of idol worshipers, not even males in the places of males or females in the places of females, as a male will have sexual relations with a male and a female will have sexual relations with a female, and it is unnecessary to say males in the places of females and females in the places of males. And they do not give possession of an animal to their shepherd, nor a child to teach him book(s) or to teach him art or to be alone with him. A daughter of Israel may not be a wet-nurse for the an idol worshiper because she raise him for idol worship; but an idol worshiper may act as a wet-nurse for an Israelite woman in her domain. A daughter of Israel may not act as a midwife for an idol worshiper because she delivers (the child) for idol worship. An idol worshiper may not act as a midwife for a daughter of Israel, because they suspect (idol worshipers) of (taking) lives, (these are) the words of Rabbi Meir. But the Sages say that an idol worshiper may act as a midwife for a daughter of Israel in a time when others stand over her, but when they are alone together, it is prohibited, because they suspect (idol worshipers) of (taking) lives. One may be treated by them (provided that it is) monetary treatment, but not personal treatment. An idol worshiper should not cut the embryo from the female organs of an Israelite woman, and she should not drink a cup of infertility potion, because they suspect (idol worshipers) of (taking) lives. An Israelite should not be alone with an idol worshiper, whether to bathe or in a bathhouse. An Israelite who encounters an idol worshiper on the road should (put the idol worshiper) to his right and not to his left. R. Yishmael ben R. Yohanan ben Beroqa says, (if the idol worshiper has) a sword, to his right. (If the idol worshiper has) a stick, to his left. (If) the two of them go up an incline or down a decline, the Israelite should stay above and the idol worshiper below. And he should not bend down before him, lest the idol worshiper break his skull. He should extend the journey (if an idol worshiper) asks him where he is going and divert him from the path, as it says Jacob did to Esau (Genesis 33): "until I come upon my lord at Seir," but he went to Sukkot. An Israelite may get a haircut from an idol worshiper (if) he can see in a mirror. (If) from a Samaritan, he does not need to look in a mirror. The house of Rabban Gamaliel permitted one to look in the mirror because they are in contact with the government. An Israelite who cuts the hair of idol worshiper, when he reaches the forelock, he should remove his hand.

One may buy from idolators scrolls and tefillin and mezuzot but only if one writes on them to fix them. A ma’aseh about a certain idolator that would write scrolls in Zidon and the matter came before ethe Sages and they said it was permitted to buy from him. One may sell scrolls and tefillin and mezuzot to an am ha-aretz but one may only buy tefillin from an expert. If one buys from someone that is not an expert and finds in his hand two bundles of tefillin, he checks one of the one of the shel yad or of the shel rosh of the first set and of the second and third and fourth.

They purchase from an am ha-aretz slaves and maidservants, whether adults or minors. They sell to an am ha-aretz slaves and maidservants whether minors or adults. They buy from them minor girls but not adults according to Rabbi Meir. But the Sages say, adults—and she accepts upon herself. They do not give them girls whether minors or adults, according to Rabbi, but the Sages say, they give them adults and one agrees with him on the condition that she does not make [foods requiring] purity while under his control. A ma’aseh of Rabban Gamliel haZaqein who married his daughter to Shimon ben Netanel haKohein, and agreed with him on the condition that she should not prepare pure [foods] under his supervision. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says, this is not necessary, for they do not force a fellow to prepare pure [food] under the supervision of an am ha-aretz. And who is considered an am ha-aretz? Anyone who does not eat his unconsecrated foods in a state of purity, according to Rabbi Meir, but the Sages say, anyone who does not separate tithes.

The one who buys uncircumcised slaves from idolators and circumcises them and does not immerse then and thus also for the sons of maidservants who do not immerse whether circumcised or uncircumcised, they are idolators and the objects upon which they tread are impure and the wine of their adults is prohibited but of their children is permitted. And who is an adult? All who are mentioned and recognize idols and their accessories. And who is a minor? All who do not recognize idols and their accessories. Rabbi Yosei says, there is a presumption that a Jewish slave, even one who is uncircumcised, is a Canaanite, until one finds out from them that they are sons of maidservants that did not immerse. There is a presumption that the circumcised slaves of Samaritans are Samaritans; uncircumcised, that they are idolators, until one knows that they are the children of Canaanite maidservants. There is a presumption that the slaves of idolators, even if they are circumcised, are idolators.

Always they circumcise idolators in the name of [becoming] a ger, but idolators do not circumcise Jews because they are suspected of taking lives, according to Rabbi Meir. But the Sages say, an idolator may circumcise a Jew in a time when others are standing over him, but if they are alone, it is forbidden because they are suspected of taking lives. A Jew may circumcise a Samaritan, but a Samaritan may not circumcise a Jew because they circumcise in the name of Mt. Gerizim, according to Rabbi Yehuda. Rabbi Yosei said to him, Where do we find circumcision in the Torah that it is not in the name of the covenant? Rather, let him circumcise in the name of Mt. Gerizim until he dies! One may buy from them and give them an undeserved gift. Of what does this speak? In a time when he is not selling it to him or if he was going from place to place. But if he was his neighbor or his field, this is permitted, because it is like selling to him. The scripture says, “grant them no terms (brit) and give them no quarter (t’chaneim)” (Deut 7:2). If to teach about the covenant, look it speaks of the brit, but why is it said, “give them no quarter (lo t’chaneim)”? To teach that you do not give them unearned gifts.
