The Greeke tranflateth it, kept (or refer- ud) to a man. The Hebrew Do&ors explain it thus; The bond-woman (char:Thal') betrothed,ffiolen efin the Law, is one that is balk a bond - woman, and haft a free- rranan, and betrothed to an Hebrew frvant. Thalmud Bab. in Cherethoth, chap.z. and Maimony in Ifurei blab, ch. 3. fè &.13.

Sothis law concerneth not other trees that are for timber: and (as the Hebrews think) not fruit trees which are not intended by the owner for food.
