Eruvin 64B

בעל בנכסי אשתו.

a husband who acquired rights to his wife’s property that she had brought into the marriage as her dowry should use part of the profits for the acquisition of a Torah scroll.

רבא אמר: אפילו עבד עיסקא ורווח. רב פפא אמר: אפילו מצא מציאה. אמר רב נחמן בר יצחק: אפילו כתב בהו תפילין.

Rava said: Even if he entered into a business venture and made a large profit, he should act in a similar manner. Rav Pappa said: Even if he found a lost article, he should do the same. Rav Naḥman bar Yitzḥak said: He need not use the money to commission the writing of a Torah scroll, as even if he wrote a set of tefillin with it, this, too, is a mitzva whose merit will enable him to retain the rest of the money.

ואמר רב חנין, ואיתימא רבי חנינא: מאי קראה, דכתיב: ״וידר ישראל נדר וגו׳״.

Rav Ḥanin said, and some say it was R' Ḥanina who said: What is the verse that alludes to this? As it is written: “And Israel vowed a vow to YHWH and said: If You will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will consecrate their cities” (Numbers 21:2), which shows that one who wishes to succeed should sanctify a portion of his earnings for Heaven.

אמר רמי בר אבא: דרך מיל, ושינה כל שהוא ⁠— מפיגין את היין. אמר רב נחמן אמר רבה בר אבוה: לא שנו אלא ששתה כדי רביעית, אבל שתה יותר מרביעית ⁠— כל שכן שדרך טורדתו ושינה משכרתו.

The Talmud now cites additional teachings relating to the drinking of wine. Rami bar Abba said: Walking a path of a mil, and similarly, sleeping even a minimal amount, will dispel the effect of wine that one has drunk. Rav Naḥman said that Rabba bar Avuh said: They only taught this with regard to one who has drunk 1/4th-log of wine, but with regard to one who has drunk more than 1/4th-log, this advice is not useful. In that case, walking a path of such a distance will preoccupy and exhaust him all the more, and a small amount of sleep will further intoxicate him.
