Betting on Horses
Was Called Gambling
By Bible Scholars

NEW HAVEN, Conn.—Betting
en horses and other forms of
gambling were regarded as rob-
bery by medieval biblical schol-
a•s.
They held that, "if persons
play with domestic or wild ani-
mals or birds and,stipulate that
the one whose animal wins or
runs faster should receive an
agreed amount from the other,
or make any similar wager, this
is forbidden and deemed rob-
bery on the authority of the
scribes." •
This injunction against bet-
ting is listed in "The Book of •
Torts," part of the codification
of Jewish laws found in the
Corte of Maimonides compiled
by Rabbi. Moses Ben Maimon in
the Twelfth Century. A new
translation hats just been pub-
lished by the Yale University
Press.
• Dice-playing was also regard-
ed as robbery in the code.
"If persons play with blocks
cif wood or stone or bone or the
like and stipulate that the win-
ner of the game receives a cer-
tain amount from the other, this
is deemed robbery on the au-I
thority of the scribes, even
though the winner gets his.win-
nings with the consent of the
owner," the code stipulates.
The winner in a dice game, it
says, "is commiting robbery, see-
ing that he takes another's
money for nothing by means of
a game or sport."
"The Book of Torts," trans-
lated by Hyman Klein, an Eng-
lish scholar, is the ninth volume
in the Yale Judaica -Series, edit-
ed by Julian J. Obermann, Ster-
ling Professor of Semitic Lan-
gua,ges at Yale. "The Book of
Torts" is the sixth book of the
14-volume Code of Mairnonides
being published by the Yale
University Press.
There was one type of dice-
playing that was not regarded
as robbery by the sages.
"Playing dice with a heathen
does not involve robbery but en-
tails the . prohibitioin . of wasting
time on useless pursuits, for it is
not fitting for a person to spend
any part of his life other than
on gaining knowledge and fur-
thering civilization," says the
eode.
