Bava Batra 75 - September 8, 5 Elul

There are more stories about the awesomeness of the Leviathan and that it will ultimately be captured in the future (with the help of God) and will be used to serve the righteous people and the city of Jerusalem. The verses quoted throughout this section relate to verses in the Prophets and Iyov that are against haughtiness and remind the people that God is all-powerful. There are various statements describing the awesomeness of Jerusalem in the future. How does one acquire a boat? Rav and Shmuel disagree? Is their debate parallel to a tannaitic debate about how to acquire an animal? At first, the Gemara suggests that it is, but this suggestion is rejected.
