Damascus Document on Contact with Gentiles

  • “No man shall sell clean beasts or birds to the Gentiles lest they offer them in sacrifice. He shall refuse, with all his power, to sell them anything
  • from his granary or wine-press, and he shall not sell them his manservant or maidservant inasmuch as they have been brought by him into
  • the Covenant of Abraham.” (P 141, Vermes)
