{{efn|name=BabaBathra|[[Babylonian Talmud]], ''[[Baba Bathra]]'' 56a; ''[[Beitza]]'' 25b, s.v. {{Script/Hebrew|חצובא מקטע רגליהון דרשיעי}}. Quote: "ʻThe sea squill ([[Urginea maritima]]) amputates the leg of the wicked’. Explained by [[Talmudic]] exegete, [[Rashi]], to mean a plant whose roots penetrate and go down deeply, without spreading-out to the sides at all, and they plant it between the boundaries of fields, with which Joshua [formerly] divided the country by designated borders for Israel." ʻAmputates the leg of the wicked’, [meaning], on the [[Day of Judgment]], in the sense that they (the wicked) steal, and covet, and reappropriate the property bounds [of others], without taking a lesson from it" (END QUOTE).
