Notes:

Probably a draft.; It is unclear what the function of this essay is; fragment opens with statement that there are three types (צ׳רב) of לקיחה, in obedience of God, in disobedience, and neither.; He then proceeds to quote Biblical and Talmudic sources for the first type. Fol. 2 begins with the list of sources of the third type. After just one example, a new article is started about the usage of לקיחה in the context of death.; Talmudic sources are quoted in full form, and listed by tractate and chapter (and occasionally by placement in the chapter: ערלה תחילת פרק ב); the Talmudic sources are not necessarily for the purpose of the article, rather to give depth to the context.; For example, a large section of Sanhedrin 22a-b is copied because it part of it relates to Ezekiel XLIV 16. This gives the impression that this is a draft of sources for an encyclopedic article.; The only named post-Talmudic source is Saʻadia Gaon, whose Tafsir to Exodus is mentioned.; Judeo-Arabic and Hebrew.
