משנה: וְאֵילּוּ שֶׁכּוֹפִין אוֹתָן לְהוֹצִיא מוּכֵּי שְׁחִין וּבַעַל פּוֹלִיפּוּס וְהַמְקַמֵּץ וְהַמְצָרֵף נְחוֹשֶׁת וְהַבּוּרְסִי בֶּין שֶׁהָיוּ בָם עַד שֶׁלֹּא נִישְּׂאוּ וּבֵין מִשֶּׁנִּישְּׂאוֹ לָמָדוּ. וְעַל כּוּלָּן אָמַר רִבִּי מֵאִיר אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהִתְנָה עִמָּהּ יְכוֹלָה הִיא שֶׁתֹּאמַר סְבוּרָה הָיִיתִי שֶׁאֲנִי יְכוֹלָה לְקַבֵּל עַכְשָׁיו אֵינִי יְכוֹלָה לְקַבֵּל. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים מְקַבֶּלֶת הִיא עַל כָּרְחָהּ חוּץ מִמּוּכֶּה שְׁחִין מִפְּנֵי שֶׁמְּמִיקַּתּוּ. מַעֲשֶׂה בְצִידוֹן בְּבוּרְסִי אֶחָד שֶׁמֵּת וְהָיָה לוֹ אַח בּוּרְסִי אָמְרוּ חֲכָמִים יְכוֹלָה הִיא שֶׁתֹּאמַר לְאָחִיךָ הָיִיתִי יְכוֹלָה לְקַבֵּל וְלָךְ אֵינִי יְכוֹלָה לְקַבֵּל.
MISHNAH: The following one forces to divorce: Those smitten with boils, the one afflicted with a polyp160Greek πολύπους “many-footed”, a cancerous growth in the nose (according to the Babli, 77a, an evil smelling growth.), the dung collector161He collects animal dung to sell to tanners; he smells badly., the brass refiner, and the tanner162All these have professions that impregnate them with bad smells which even with a bath cannot be removed., whether they were in this before they married or they came to it after they married. For all of these says Rebbi Meïr that, even if he contracted with her163He informed her of his impediment before the marriage., she can say “I thought that I could stand it, now I cannot stand it.” But the Sages say, she is forced to stand it except for the one smitten with boils because she causes him consumption164In talmudic medical theory there are kinds of boils for which sexual activity is very detrimental.. It happened in Sidon that a tanner died165He died childless; his widow can force her levir not to take her in levirate marriage and free her by ḥalîṣah. who had a brother tanner; there the Sages said, she can say: “I could stand that in your brother, I cannot stand it in you.”

HALAKHAH: “The following one forces to divorce: Those smitten with boils,” etc. “The meqammeṣ.” This is the dung collector; but some say it is the tanner. Rebbi Ze‘ira said, the Mishnah implies that this is the dung collector since we have stated: “The meqammeṣ and the tanner.”166The Babli, 77a, explains the problem away that in the opinion of the dissenting Tosephta (7:11) there are different kinds of tanners, smelling differently. “The brass refiner.” Samuel said, that is the one who smelts brass from its ore167In the Babli, 77a, this is only one opinion; Rav disagrees and holds that he repairs metal pots..

It was stated168Tosephta 7:11 [Gen. rabba 41(2)] in this version only the person afflicted with ritan is required to divorce his wife for medical reasons. Another version in the Babli, 77b [Lev. rabba16(1)], requires all sufferers from boils to refrain from sexual activity.: “Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel said, I met an old man, smitten with boils, from Sepphoris. He told me, there are 24 kinds of boils; the worst one, and the one for which a woman is bad, is flowing boils169Usually derived somehow from Greek ῥέω “to flow”.. Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman in the name of Rebbi Jonathan: With the latter kind, the evil Pharao was smitten170This is anonymous in Gen. rabba41(2).; that is what is written171Gen. 12:17.: “The Eternal smote Pharao and his house with great plagues,” etc. 172This is slightly distorted in Gen. rabba 41(2), correct in 52(14). It was read by H. Graetz as mixed Aramaic/Greek/Latin sentence: dĕ-ἐτόλμησεν lĕmagga‘ ba-σῶμα dĕ-matrona; where ἐτόλμησεν is aorist of τολμάω “to dare, to presume”. Rebbi Berekhia said: Because he dared to touch the matron’s body. There are 24 kinds of cedar173This is added here because of the number 24. In the Babli (Roš Haššanah 23a, Sukkah 37a, Ta‘anit 25b, Baba batra 80b) there are only 10 kinds mentioned, the 10 explained here, with sometimes different and multiple identifications. The original text seems to be in Gen. rabba 15(2): “R. Samuel ben Naḥman in the name of Rebbi Jonathan: There are 24 kinds of cedar but only 7 are of the best kind.”, and from all of them the verse mentioned only seven. That is what is written174Is. 41:19.: “I shall give in the desert cedar, acacia, myrtle, and oil wood175In the Babli identified as the balsamum shrub.; I put in the prairie beroš, tidhar, and teaššur together. Beroš is cypress; tidhar is idra176This Aramaic word for a tree has not been identified. In the Babli identified as ساج “teak”.;teasššur is the box-tree177Greek πύξινον “box-tree”.. They added to them178This expression is out of place here; it belongs to the tannaïtic tradition reported in the Babli that there are 10 kinds of cedar, with three added to the seven mentioned by Isaiah. ’allonim, ‘armonim, and ’almogim. ’Allonim are oaks, ‘armonim plane trees, ’almuggim aloës.
