Agricultural Restrictions
The Rabbis prohibited the exportation of provisions which are necessaries of life, such as fruits, wines, oils, and firewood, and ordered that these provisions should be sold directly to the consumer in order to save to the purchaser the middleman's profit (B. B. 90b, 91a). Another ordinance was directed against the raising of small stock, as sheep and goats except in woods or barren territory, in order to preserve the cultivated lands from injury (B. Ḳ. 49b).
To secure an adequate supply of servants, the Mosaic law providing for the freedom of a servant who had fled from his master (Deut. xxiii. 15) was made applicable to a servant escaping from other lands, but not to a servant escaping from the land (Git. 43a; 'Ar. 49b).
