Dear all,

A follow-up question I forgot to include:

Jastrow (p.222) notes that the Jer. Talmud III. 50d has "and the other limbs
of the embryo look like a lump, squeezed together". Could someone please
tell me whether golem in this passage is the word translated "embyro" or
"lump"? I don't have access to a copy of this text here.

cheers,
