רוּנְגָּר m. (a corrupt. of angaria or parangaria) public service. Yeb.79a (ref. to 1 Kings 5:29) ודילמאר׳ בעלמא Ar. (ed. דוגזר) but perhaps it was merely for public service (that Israelites were employed, but not as slaves)? B. Bath. 122a (ref. to Ez. 48:19, to prove that the Nasi was to receive a share in the land equal to one of the tribal shares) אימאר׳ בעלמא (Ms. M. דוזגר; ed. Pes. a. oth. אנגר, אונגר, v. Rabb. D. S. a. l. note 8) may I not say that the verse quoted refers merely to public service (due to the Nasi)?(The reading רוזגר, from which דוזגר, דוגזר arose, is due to a derivation, ascribed to R. Ḥan., from the Persian רוזגר servitium, v. Vullers 78b>.Yalk. Sam. 154, however, has an entirely different reading of Yeb. l. c..
