Through money: Beit Shammai say [this means] a dinar or the equivalent of a dinar. And Beit Hillel say a pruta or an equivalent of a pruta.  How much is a pruta? One eight of an Italian issar. ",

Because the Tanna wanted to write \"money\", and money we have learned by analogy of the verb TAKE לקח - from the field of Ephron.",

            "Q: The Tanna should have written here (1:1) \"the man acquires\"? A: He wanted to write at the end \"she acquires herself\", he wrote in the beginning also a reference to herself.",

(The mishna uses the masculine here) because they want to teach derech and derech is a masculine word, as is written (in the torah): In one way they will go out to you, and in seven (masculine) ways (derachim) they will flee before you. (Devarim 28: 7). (End of beraisa). If so, there is a difficulty between one verse (in torah) and the other, and there is a difficulty also between one mishna and the other.",

(However,) there (in the verse used in the beraisa to prove that derech is masculine), where war is being referred to [because it is the way of men to make war and not the way of women to make war], (derech is) written as a masculine word.

There too, we deduce the meaning of “money” from tithes.  ",

Shall we say [then] that R. Assi ruled in accordance with Bet Shammai?",

Seeing that there are not even two thousand, can he [the Tanna] call it more than two thousand? A certain old man said to him: I taught it, close to two thousand. But even so, it is only one-thousand-five-hundred-thirty-six! Since it go beyond half [a thousand], it is called close on two thousand. ",

One day his wife overheard him. ‘Let me see,’ she reflected, ‘it is so many years that he has separated from me: why then should he say that?’ One day, while he was studying in his garden, she adorned herself with a scarf and strolled in front of him.  ‘Who are you?’ he asked. ‘I am Cheruta, and have returned today,’ she replied. He desired her. Said she to him, ‘Bring me that pomegranate from the uppermost branch.’ He jumped up, went, and brought it to her. When he re-entered his house, his wife was firing the oven,whereupon he went and sat in it. ‘What is this?’ she asked. He told her what had happened.‘It was I,’ she told him; but he paid no heed to her until she gave him proof. ‘Nevertheless,’ said he, ‘my intention was evil.’ That righteous man fasted all his life, until he died from that very death."
