Bava Batra 12 – Partners Divide a Field (Civil)

How large must a jointly owned field be for one partner to compel the other to dissolve the partnership? - Each partner must receive at least an area that takes a full day to plow; a field must be at least that large to be cultivated profitably. Oxen had to be rented for a full day, even if needed for only part of the day. Thus, renting them for less than a full day's work was unprofitable.

After the Temple was destroyed, prophecy was taken from the prophets and given to young children.
