I have come across a rather disturbing reference in the Talmud (click here) and would value some feedback on what is meant. Does the explanation offered here make sense? The reference can be traced in English and Hebrew - here.

You'll find all sorts of nonsense in the Talmud.

And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. (Mark 7:9)

I think that Lightfoot waded through acres of manure in the Talmud in order to get one or two interpretive gems.

If you were doing a reallly in-depth study of the Talmud from a Christian perspective, it would probably be best to read Lighfoot.
