Shisha Asar Ushlosh Meyot - mi yodeya?

Question

Who knows three hundred sixteen?

In the spirit of the song "Echad - mi yodeya", please post interesting and significant Jewish facts about the number 316.

And ... there is that lazy gematria available here, but let's not go there.

Check out mi-yodeya-series for the previous three hundred fifteen entries in this ongoing series.

Please include sources for your information wherever possible, as with all other answers on this site.

@DoubleAA, I hadn't thought of "ha-ish." There are two simple gematriot alluded to. — Isaac Moses, May 9, 2013 at 19:30

Three hundred sixteen were the recorded disagreements between Beit Hillel and Beit Shammai.

Why is this significant?

@DoubleAA, the community has IME traditionally allowed less obviously significant answers in the mi-yodeya-series than for other questions.

@msh210, Allowed, yes. However, This question explicitly asks for "interesting and significant," so it makes sense to challenge answerers to explain how their answers fulfill that standard. There may be a significance here that is not currently clear in the answer.

@Issac Moses: Unfortunately it is very difficult or quiet impossible to have interesting and significant Jewish facts about each number. Sometimes you got to do with whatever there is.
