MISHNAH: A member of the household of Rabban Gamliel was entering with his sheqel between his fingers and threw it before the disburser. The disburser was directing it and threw it into the box. The disburser only starts disbursing after he asked, “shall I disburse”? And they answer him, “disburse, disburse, disburse,” three times. He disburses the first time and covers it with cushions, the second time and covers it with cushions. The third time he was not covering. Why did he cover? That he should not forget and disburse from anything which already had been disbursed. The first time he disbursed in the name of the Land of Israel, the second time in the name of nearby walled cities, and the third time in the name of Babylonia, in the name of Media, and in the name of distant countries.

HALAKHAH: “A member of the household of Rabban Gamliel was,” etc. If there were two heaps and he gave heave from one for the other, would that not remove the liability from the other? It gave them satisfaction that the sacrifice should be brought first from their money.

“He disburses the first time,” etc. It was stated: If he removed the covers, all was made remainder. It was stated: The third was the richest since it contained golden stateres and golden darics.

It was stated: He disburses the first time in the name of the Land of Israel and in the name of all of Israel. The second time in the name of fortified cities and in the name of all of Israel. The third time in the name of Babylonia and the name of Media and in the name of all of Israel. It was stated: If he took from the first box, even if there was in the first box he shall take from the second. If he took from the second box, even if there was in the second box he shall take from the third. If the third was used up, he returns to the second; if the second was used up he returns to the first. If all three are emptied, one collects new sheqalim; Rebbi Meïr says, he has regress on the remainder, since Rebbi Meïr says, one commits me`ilah with the remainder, perhaps one needs them at the end.

[“And so did Rebbi Phineas ben Yair say, promptitude brings to cleanliness, cleanliness brings to purity, purity brings to holiness, holiness brings to meekness, meekness brings to fear of sin, fear of sin brings to piety, piety brings to the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit to the Resurrection of the Dead, the Resurrection of the Dead brings to Elijah, may his remembrance be a blessing.” “Promptitude brings to cleanliness,” as it is written, he finishes, and he atones. “Cleanliness brings to purity,” as it is written, the Cohen shall atone for her, then she will be pure. “Purity brings to holiness,” as it is written, he shall purify it and sanctify it. “Holiness brings to meekness,” as it is written, for so says the High and Elevated One, Who thrones eternally, His name is Holy, in sublimity … and the oppressed and of meek spirit.“Meekness brings to fear of sin,” as it is written, the consequence of meekness is fear of the Eternal. “Fear of sin brings to piety,” as it is written, the Eternal’s piety is eternally on those who fear Him. “Piety brings to the Holy Spirit,” as it is written, then You spoke in a vision to Your pious ones. “The Holy Spirit brings to the Resurrection of the Dead,” as it is written, I shall give My Spirit into you and you will live. “The Resurrection of the Dead brings to Elijah, may his remembrance be a blessing,” as it is written, then you will understand the fear of the Eternal, and the knowledge of God you will find. It was stated in the name of Rebbi Meïr: Anybody permanently in the Land of Israel who speaks the holy language, eats its produce in purity, and recites the Shema` mornings and evenings is assured of his place in the World to Come.]
