תלמוד על ישעיהו 42:22

Rebbi Abin in the name of Samuel (Is. 42:22): “They were hidden in jail houses,” where one hides from kilaim⁵⁹This refers to the last sentence of the Mishnah, that a house protects from kilaim. The Talmud identifies the roots כלא “to restrain, keep back” (Arabic كلأ) and כלא (Arabic كلا) “double”. (R. Simson reads: “R. Samuel in the name of R. Abin”; but then it would have to read: R. Samuel R. Abbahu.).
