The text begins by explaining the Feast of the Tabernacles and ends with a discussion of the Jubilee Year. It includes Leviticus 24:20, one of the most dramatic and best-known verses in the Bible, which the King James Version gives as: "Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again." Beautifully written in Hebrew calligraphy with numerous crowns (ketarim), by a sofer (professional scribe) . From Rome. Measures 51 x 44 cm. From about 1670. In excellent condition.
