Any person who converts because of love, i. e., a man because of a woman or a woman because of a man, or proselytes of the king’s table³¹People who convert in order to obtain a government post., or lion proselytes³²The ancestors of the Samaritans who converted because of fear of the lions (2K. 17:25 ff.), or the proselytes of Mordechai and Esther³³“And many of the people of the land became Jewish, for the fear of the Jews fell on them” (Esth. 8:17)., one does not accept. Rav said, they are proselytes³⁴This is rabbinic practice.; one does not reject them in the way one has to reject proselytes from the start³⁵A person who wants to become Jewish has to be told that he is better off not being a Jew (Babli Yebamot47b) and sent away; he can be accepted only if he comes back.
This is the translation of the text of L. The text is problematic since שֶׁמָּא “perhaps” is Babylonian Aramaic. According to G, one has to read: “They have to be approached a second time, to convert them for the name [of Heaven].” While the text of L represents rabbinic practice from the Middle Ages, the text of G has no echo in rabbinic literature. Therefore, the text of L has to be preferred.. But one accepts them; they need to be received in a friendly way; perhaps³⁶One continues to prove that in fact all categories of people enumerated in the Mishnah were among the returnees from the Babylonian captivity. they became proselytes for God²⁴I. e., were honest converts to be counted as Jews..

Naḥman the son of Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman: Joy and enjoyment⁷¹The entire statement is an explanation of Esth. 9:10, but the expression “joy and enjoyment” is from 8:17 instead of the correct “joy” (as in the Babli, 5b.), this implies that eulogies are forbidden. And festive dinner, this implies that fasting is forbidden. And holiday, this implies that work is forbidden⁷²The Babli notes that it is not clear from the statement whether this refers to both days of Purim or only to the day celebrated in the community.. Rebbi Ḥelbo said, many times I sat before Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman but did not hear these things from him. He said to him, did you hear all the traditions which my father had? The action of Rebbi disagrees, for Rebbi acted demonstratively on two days in the year. He took a bath on the Seventeenth of Tammuz⁷³To emphasize that the restrictions of the 9^th of Av do not apply to the 17^th of Tammuz. and planted saplings on Purim⁷⁴To make it clear that work is not forbidden on Purim; Babli 5b.. Rebbi Ḥabiba in the names of the Rabbis of there: Any place where it is written holiday it is not written theyaccepted, and any place where it is written they accepted it is not written holiday⁷⁵In the list of Esth. 9:19 “holiday” is mentioned, but in the note 9:22 that the Jews accepted the rules of Purim, only joy and dinner are mentioned (in addition to obligations to send food to one another and gifts to the poor.). And here it is written holiday and it is written they accepted⁷⁶This can be read either as proof of R. Ḥelbo’s position (as a question), or (as a statement) by Naḥman that 9:23 asserts that the Jews accepted all that Mordocai had written to them, implicitly endorsing the holiday status.? Rebbi Simon in the name of Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman: Family and family, these are the hamlets. City and city, these are the fortified places. Town and town, these are the small towns⁷⁷Esth. 9:28; Babli 2b..
