The mishna forbids all sorts of business dealings with idol worshippers three days before their holidays. Rav and Shmuel discuss the exact spelling of the word used for holidays – “eidaihem” – is it with an aleph or ayin and from which verse in the Torah is the term learned from? One of the verses mentioned is the subject of a long agada about the nations coming before God in the World to Come looking to get rewarded for Torah and God reprimanding them for never having kept the Torah. Various claims are mentioned trying to justify why they didn’t keep the Torah.
