MISHNAH: There are two [kinds] of transport on the Sabbath which are four [kinds] inside, and two [kinds] which are four [kinds] outside (“outside”). In each case, the transport may be effectuated either by the person inside or the person outside (in which case the person is prosecutable but the person standing in the other domain is not involved) or it may be taken up by one person, taken over while moving by another person who then puts it down. In this case both participants have sinned but are not prosecutable. The possible cases are enumerated in Mishnaiot 1–4. “Liable” and “not liable” refer both to the possibility of prosecution for intentional Sabbath desecration and the obligation of a purification sacrifice in the case of unintentional infraction. . How is this? The poor man stands outside and the householder inside. If the poor man stretched out his hand inside and delivered into the householder’s hand or took something from it and brought it outside, the poor man is liable but the householder is not liable. If the householder stretched out his hand outside and delivered into the poor man’s hand or took something from it and brought it inside, the householder is liable but the poor man is not liable. If the poor man stretched out his hand inside and the householder took from it or gave into it and he then took it out, neither is liable. If the householder stretched out his hand outside and the poor man took from it or gave into it and he then took it in, neither is liable. HALAKHAH: 1:1, explained there in Notes 5–20 . The Notes here are restricted to references and short explanations. “Export on the Sabbath,” etc. What means “two which are four”? Two which are four for liability and two which are four for no liability, or four for liability and four for no liability? Let us hear from the following 1:1. : “There are two kinds of oaths which are four kinds.” Rebbi Abba said, there all are about liability, but here we come to state both liability and no liability and Ševuot in that in the case here at least one person involved always is not liable whereas in Ševuot only one person is mentioned and all cases are of liability. For R. Yose, the parallel is only that of Mishnaiot 1–2, not 3–4. Each Mishnah describes two cases of liability; these are two covering in all four cases of liability as in Ševuot 1:1. . This implies four of liability and four of no liability. Rebbi Yose said, the Mishnah says so, “there are two kinds of oaths which are four kinds,” not because of liability? And similarly, “there are two kinds of export on the Sabbath which are four kinds,” because there is liability. But was it not stated 4:1 . The Mishnah is purely descriptive of the construction of Herod’s Temple; the notions of liability or no liability are inappropriate. , “the doors of the Temple hall were two which are four?” Can you say, liability and no liability? Should we state twelve cases of no liability? We only come to state cases of no liability which correspond to cases of liability. Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Abba said, what is this “no liability” which we stated here? Permitted! Rebbi Yose said, the poor man and the rich man are one but the Sages counted them as two. Bringing in or taking out are one but the Sages counted them as two 1:1, editio princeps, and a quote in RITBA Ševuot 1:1: “Taking out or bringing in are two but the Sages counted them as one.” As noted later in this paragraph, taking out is called work by Jeremiah (which cannot be used as a legal text but is confirmation of the interpretation of the law) whereas bringing in is only forbidden by the argument that taking out from A to B is bringing in to B from A. . Taking out on the Sabbath does not include bringing in; if one exports from one domain to the other, does this not include the one who imports? Let us hear from the following, as Rebbi Yasa said in the name if Rebbi Joḥanan: Somebody who brings in half the size of a dried fig and takes out half the size of a dried fig is liable transporting. . And from where that taking out is called work? Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman in the name of Rebbi Jonathan 1:1 and the Babli (6b ): R. Joḥanan; quoted without attribution by R. Ḥananel Šabbat 3b; in a number of Medieval sources R. Jonathan. understood it from the following 36:6 . Babli 96a . : Moses ordered, they made a public proclamation in the camp as follows, men or women should no longer do work to contribute to the sanctuary. The people refrained from taking objects out from their houses to give them to the collectors. Rebbi Ḥizqiah In G, R, Aḥa in the name or R. Ila; in Sefer Haˋittim (ed. Mekize Nirdamim p. 300) R. Aḥa in the name of R. Ḥiyya. In Sefer Miṣwot Gadol #65, (part 1, fol. 17a in Venice edition) R. Ḥiyya in the name of R. Aḥa. in the name of Rebbi Ila: You even understand bringing in from this. Just as the people refrained from taking objects out of their houses to give to the collectors so the collectors did not accept anything from them to bring into the office. Rebbi Ḥizqiah in the name of Rebbi Aḥa understood everything from the following 17:22 . : do not bring out any load from your houses on the Sabbath day, and perform no work. p. 64. Rebbi Yasa in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: If one brought in half a dried fig and took out half a dried fig he is liable 16:30 ), a sacrifice is possible only if the perpetrator was oblivious either of the fact that the act was forbidden or, in the case of the Sabbath, that the day was a Sabbath. Sins committed during different periods of oblivion require different sacrifices. In addition, the prohibition of work on the Sabbath is not a single prohibition but, as explained in Chapter 7, a set of 39 different prohibitions, each with different minima of forbidden work which trigger the obligation of a sacrifice. Minimal infractions of different prohibitions do not combine to produce the obligation of a sacrifice. On the other hand, infractions which are subsumed under the same prohibition, even if one is clearly biblically prohibited (אַב מְלָאכָה “a master work” such as transporting from a private to the public domain) and one which is classified by a logical argument as belonging to the same class (תּוֹלְדָה “a derivative”, as transporting to the private domain) do combine to create the obligation of a sacrifice. . What Rebbi Joḥanan said does not follow Rebbi Yose, as it was stated 55b , Keritut 17a . The first part is a Tosephta, ed. Liebermann 9:11, ed. princeps 10:7. : “If one took out half a dried fig and again took out half a dried fig during one period of oblivion, he is liable; during different periods of oblivion he is not liable. Rebbi Yose said, during one period of oblivion and one domain he is liable, during one period of oblivion and two domains or during two periods of oblivion and one domain he is not liable.” We find this difficult. If two different transorts do not combine following Rebbi Yose, a fortiori also not bringing in and taking out? Therefore what Rebbi Joḥanan said could not follow Rebbi Yose. Rebbi Ila said, not only if two doors open to two public roads but even if they open to the same public road will Rebbi Yose agree, for Rebbi Yose compares domains to periods of oblivion in matters of liability. Just as Rebbi Yose compares domains to periods of oblivion in absence of liability so Rebbi Yose compares domains to periods of oblivion in matters of liability. For if he took out the volume of a dried fig through this door and the volume of a dried fig through that door in one period of oblivion is he not liable twice? 3:3 (Notes 66–72 ) in a different context. (R. Yose mentioned there is the fifth generation Amora). Rebbi Yudan said, Rebbi Yose compares domains to eating slices 3:7 ), the only example of such solid food is forbidden fat. A sacrifice for inadvertent consumption of forbidden fat is due if at least the volume of an average olive was eaten in the time needed to eat a slice of bread. The slice is defined ( Tosephta Negaˋim 7:10 ) as half a loaf when three loaves are baked from a kav of flour (about 35 cl) . For if one ate the volume of half an olive during the time needed to eat one slice and another volume of half an olive in the time needed to eat another slice, is he not free from liability? If one ate several volumes of olives during several times needed to eat a slice in one period of forgetting, he is liable only once. 3:3 Note 70 . The rabbis of Caesarea object to comparing the rules of the Sabbath to any other biblical prohibition. Mishnah 13:1 states that weaving is forbidden and the threshold for an action requiring a purification sacrifice is weaving two threads. For the majority, weaving two threads in one oblivion triggers the obligation of a sacrifice, for R. Yose only if the two rows were added to the same piece of cloth. The rabbis of Caesarea say, before you compare this to fat, compare it to the rules of Sabbath itself. For if one was weaving one thread on this piece of cloth and weaving one thread on that piece of cloth, is he not free from liability? If he wove several threads on several pieces of cloth in one period of oblivion he is liable only once. Rebbi Yose in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: The one who takes out is not liable until he put it down. Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Unless he take up and put down. Rebbi Zeˋira required, unless he take it up with the intention to put it down 35 , the prohibition of work on the Sabbath is repeated ( vv. 1–3 ) as part of the commandment to build the Tabernacle ( vv. 4–35 ). In 35:33, the construction of the Tabernacle is described as “thinking work”. It is concluded that only “thinking work” is punishable (criminally or by a sacrifice) as desecration of the Sabbath. In the special case of transporting, there is desecration only if the three parts are done with compatible intent, if the lifting up was intended to be followed by a putting down. . Not if he lifted it to eat and then changed his mind to put it down 20b , Ketubot 31a ). . What Rebbi Joḥanan said does not follow Rebbi Yose, as it was stated following the statement here attributed to R. Yose is Tosephta 9:11 (ed. S. Liebermann); the first part Babli 80a. Since in the public domain one is only permitted to move things by a distance of less than four cubits, things farther away are as in two different domains. If each transport was less that a minimal amount, the actions cannot be combined. : “If he took out half the volume of a dried fig and put it down, and then took out another volume of half a dried fig. If he put it down within four cubits of the first piece he is liable, otherwise he is not liable. Rebbi Yose said, if he transported it over it, he is liable, otherwise he is not liable.” Rebbi Yose considers the person walking as if he was putting down 98a , Ketubot 31b ) this opinion is attributed to Ben Azzai, a generation before R. Yose. It is agreed by everybody that standing still while transporting an object is legally putting it down, not on the ground but on the static person. This is the same as depositing the object on a pillar. R. Yose holds that a slow motion such as walking is the equivalent of standing still for a negligible time at many places. An action which does not result in instant deposition is throwing. According to R. Yose, if the second object ever was within 4 cubits of the place where the first was deposited, the two actions combine for liability, even if the second was ultimately deposited somewhere else. . Just as Rebbi Yose considers the person walking as if he was putting down for liability so he considers the person walking as if he was putting down for non-liability. When he took it out he is considered having put it down; then he should be free from liability. Explain it if it was put down within four cubits [of the door], as it was stated, “otherwise he is not liable.” Rebbi Abba the son of Rebbi Pappaeus said, explain it if the door was five cubits wide and he brought one out on this side, the other on the other side. Then the second was not taken out within four cubits of the first. There 3:4 . , we have stated: “Rebbi Meïr says, if it was a Sabbath and he carried it out 7:20 ) which is fat (v.25) and more than 2 days old (v. 18) on the Day of Atonement (23:29). For the illicit use of a sanctum a reparation sacrifice is due (5:15–16). R. Meïr adds that if the day also was a Sabbath and the person would take the piece in a private domain, carry it out and eat it in the public domain, an additional purification offering is needed. The text and R. Yudan’s explanation make it clear that the Yerushalmi does not read with some Babli sources “carried it out in his mouth.” . They told him, it is not the category.” Because this one is liable because of walking and that one is liable because of putting down. Who is “they said to him”? Rebbi Yose! The argument of Rebbi Yose is inverted. There, he does not consider the person walking equal to one who was putting down but here he is considering the person walking equal to one who was putting down! Rebbi Yudan said, explain it that he was laying on the threshold). The word describes not only the threshold but also the stairs leading from the road to the house. [Also cf. Latin scapus “post or newel of a circular staircase; main stile of a door on which it hinges” (E. G.)] partially inside, his mouth outside, when he stretched out his hand, took it, and ate it. Then he did not walk. Rebbi Yannai said, one who swallowed half the volume of an olive, then threw it up, and again swallowed it, is liable 103b , statement and supporting argument are by R. Assi (Yasa) in the name of R. Joḥanan. The food swallowed is supposed to be forbidden fat. . But one who brought in half the volume of a dried fig and took it out again, is not liable. What is the difference between this and the first one? There his palate enjoyed the volume of an olive, but here he never dealt with a full volume of a fig. Rebbi Yose said, sometimes a person may be dealing with a full volume of a fig and not be liable. How is this possible? He took out half of the volume of a dried fig p. 65. , put it down, again took out half of the volume of a dried fig, but did not manage to put it down before the first one was burned. He was dealing with a full volume of a fig but is not liable. Because he compared it to forbidden fat he contrived this. Rebbi Joḥanan said, if one exports from a private domain to the public domain through karmelit is a part of the public domain not readily accessible to the public ( Chapter 13 Note 68 ). The two main examples are “the sides of a thoroughfare”, the part of a street close to the houses if that part is not easy to use because of stairs extending from the houses or if the fronts of the houses do not form a straight line. The other is “valley”, a rural access path which is public domain, not a thoroughfare but meant only as a path for farmers working adjacent fields. Since karmelit is not a thoroughfare (defined as road of at least 16 cubits width) it does not qualify as public domain for which transport from a private domain is forbidden. The statement of R. Joḥanan implies that he cannot consider walking as equivalent of standing still ( Note 56 ) since transporting from a private domain to karmelit followed by transport from karmelit to public domain, while forbidden on the Sabbath, does not generate liability ( Note 81 ). (The etymology of the word karmelit is unknown. Cf. Accadic karmiš “like a ruin”.) , he is liable because of him who carries on his back, from the following: “One who intends to carry on his front but it turns out that he carried on his back is not liable. On his back and he carried on his front he is liable.” For it is impossible that between him and the wall should not karmelit be created around himself since he bars the access of others to this place. This is formulated in 10:2 as “nothing movable in the public domain creates karmelit except a human.” . Rebbi Yose said, explain it that his face was turned to the wall and his load on his back and so his load exited first. Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Abba asked before Rebbi Mana: But this is not a usual way of carrying out! He told him, professional porters act in this way. But the following implies it, as Rebbi Aḥa, Rebbi Maisha said in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: “If one carries out foodstuffs and puts them on the threshold.” Is the threshold not karmelit ? Rebbi Yose was sorry that he had not said this himself. Rav Huna in the name of Rav: Everybody agrees that for throwing one is liable region. In the Babli (6a ), it is a statement of R. Joḥanan. . It is everybody’s opinion that the air space over karmelit is not like its essence. Where do they disagree? If one carries out. Ben Azzai declares him not liable but the Sages declare him liable. Ben Azzai makes the person walking as if he was putting down 98a , Ketubot 31b ) this opinion is attributed to Ben Azzai, a generation before R. Yose. It is agreed by everybody that standing still while transporting an object is legally putting it down, not on the ground but on the static person. This is the same as depositing the object on a pillar. R. Yose holds that a slow motion such as walking is the equivalent of standing still for a negligible time at many places. An action which does not result in instant deposition is throwing. According to R. Yose, if the second object ever was within 4 cubits of the place where the first was deposited, the two actions combine for liability, even if the second was ultimately deposited somewhere else. but the Sages do not make the person walking as if he was putting down. Rav Ḥisda asked Rav Huna: In Ben Azzai’s opinion nobody ever could become liable for four cubits! Since when he transported something, it is made as if he put it down within every cubit; he should be not liable (p. 307). But in Tosaphot (5b, s.v. בשלמא ) the Yerushalmi is quoted as answering that a person still could become liable by jumping. . Rav Jehudah in the name of Rav: Everybody agrees that for carrying out one is not liable. It is everybody’s opinion that walking counts as if one was putting down. Where do they disagree? If one is throwing, for Ben Azzai declares him not liable but the Sages declare him liable. Ben Azzai considers the air space over karmelit like its essence is considered lying there. but the Sages consider the air space over karmelit not like its essence. A baraita supports one and a baraita supports the other. A baraita supports Rav Huna (p. 307). : If he was standing in the public domain and threw over karmelit into a stable or corral, he is liable; but if he carried it he is not liable. A baraita supports Rebbi Jehudah: “If one carries out foodstuffs and puts them on the threshold; whether he or another person then carries it out, he is not liable since the work was not performed in one step.” Therefore if the work was completed in one step and therefore not creating liability, still does not create liability. he would be liable. Ben Azzai said, even if be completed the work at one time he would not be liable. But did we not state: “Rebbi Meïr says, if it was Sabbath and he carried it out 7:20 ) which is fat (v.25) and more than 2 days old (v. 18) on the Day of Atonement (23:29). For the illicit use of a sanctum a reparation sacrifice is due (5:15–16). R. Meïr adds that if the day also was a Sabbath and the person would take the piece in a private domain, carry it out and eat it in the public domain, an additional purification offering is needed. The text and R. Yudan’s explanation make it clear that the Yerushalmi does not read with some Babli sources “carried it out in his mouth.” . They told him, it is not the category.” Because this one is liable because of walking and that one is liable because of putting down. In the opinion of Rav Huna one is not following Ben Azzai3:4 , for Rav Huna it is clear that walking is not considered depositing. . In the opinion of Rav Jehudah one follows neither Ben Azzai nor the Sages. Rebbi Ḥinena said, who is :they said to him”? The Sages who follow Ben Azzai. Rebbi Joḥanan asked: If he was standing in the public domain, threw, and then caught it, what? Is that not a Mishnah, “if another person caught it, a dog caught it, or it was burned, he is not liable”? Rebbi Samuel in the name of Rebbi Zeˋira: So it is if he snatches; therefore if he caught it he is liable. What is the difference between its coming to rest on the ground to coming to rest in his arm? There, why is he liable? There he threw and another one received it but here he threw, he received it. Should it be obvious for him that he is not liable? Would he not be liable because of his mouth if he threw with his right hand and received with his left? Is his mouth not like another person? Here, his left hand should be like another person. Rebbi Yudan said, it is obvious to Rebbi Joḥanan that he is liable if he threw with his right hand and received with his left. What was his problem? If he threw with his right and and received with his right hand. The rabbis of Caesarea, Rebbi Shammai in the name of Rebbi Aḥa: He is in doubt whether he is liable even if he threw with his right hand and received with his left. If you want to say “his mouth”, his mouth is like another person since he ate it; but is here his hand like another person? Rebbi Mana asked, if this be so, then even if he exported the volume of a dried fig in both hands he should be not liable because of one action executed by two persons! Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Ada said to him, is that when he did it 4:27 . The verse is emphatic that purification sacrifices are available only for single perpetrators acting in error: If one person of the people of the land sin in error, if he act in one of the commandments of the Eternal which is a prohibition, and be damaged. ? But was it not stated: An individual who acted is liable, two or three who acted are not liable 7(9). . Rebbi Joḥanan said, if somebody was standing in the public domain, collected rain from the airspace of walls and carried it out, he is liable. Rebbi Abun bar Ḥiyya in the name of Rebbi Zeˋira, it is so if he grabbed it, but if he collected it he is not liable. What is the difference between whether another person gave him or if Heaven gave? It follows Rebbi, for Rebbi made the airspace of walls like their substance. If he was standing inside and his hand full of produce was stretched to the outside when the day became holy he is forbidden to take it back. Rebbi Aḥa in the name of Rebbi Abba: following him who said that it is forbidden to use the space below ten [hand-breadths] must assume that the outstretched hand was within 10 hand-breadths from the ground. . There are Tannaim who state, it is permitted. They wanted to say, he who says it is permitted if there was four [cubits] of space; but he who says it is forbidden if there was not four [cubits] of space not a private domain. Babli 3b . . Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, in both cases (it is forbidden) it follows him who said that it is forbidden to use the space below ten [hand-breadths]. What about it? He who says it is forbidden below ten [hand-breadths]; he who says it is permitted, above ten [hand-breadths]. Mishnah: “The poor man is liable but the householder is not liable.” Rav Jehudah in the name of Samuel: Only if the poor man’s hand is within ten hand-breadths from the ground or not. But R. Zeˋira must follow R. Joḥanan that carrying through karmelit does not relieve from liability if the object was lifted in a private and deposited in a public domain. But if the householder lifts an object in his house and deposits it in karmelit, he is not liable. This also applies if the poor man is standing close to the house with his face to the house; he stands in karmelit (S. Liebermann). . Rebbi Zeˋira said, if he is distant four [hand-breadths] from the wall. But if he is not distant four [hand-breadths] from the wall, it is karmelit is a part of the public domain not readily accessible to the public ( Chapter 13 Note 68 ). The two main examples are “the sides of a thoroughfare”, the part of a street close to the houses if that part is not easy to use because of stairs extending from the houses or if the fronts of the houses do not form a straight line. The other is “valley”, a rural access path which is public domain, not a thoroughfare but meant only as a path for farmers working adjacent fields. Since karmelit is not a thoroughfare (defined as road of at least 16 cubits width) it does not qualify as public domain for which transport from a private domain is forbidden. The statement of R. Joḥanan implies that he cannot consider walking as equivalent of standing still ( Note 56 ) since transporting from a private domain to karmelit followed by transport from karmelit to public domain, while forbidden on the Sabbath, does not generate liability ( Note 81 ). (The etymology of the word karmelit is unknown. Cf. Accadic karmiš “like a ruin”.) . Rebbi Eleazar in the name of Rebbi Simeon Karsanah: If his face was turned towards the public road. But if his face was turned towards the wall it is karmelit . Rebbi Ḥisda in the name of Ashi: If a stick stuck in the public domain ten hand-breadths high, anybody who uses anything from in it into the public domain or from the public domain into it is liable 33b . . Rav said, a leather container 24:5 , the sources read תרבוס which the Geonic Commentary explains as دُرج “box (for money or jewels)”; the translation follows Maimonides who defines it as a leather box (more appropriate for the text of the Mishnah). which stands in the public domain, ten hand-breadths high and four wide; anybody who uses anything from in it into the public domain or from the public domain into it is liable. Rebbi Hoshaia stated: “A candelabra which stands in the public domain, ten hand-breadths high and its flower four [wide]; anybody who uses anything from in it into the public domain or from the public domain into it is liable.” Rebbi Mana said, not only a candelabra but even a stick stuck in the public domain ten hand-breadths high with a tablet Cf. Erubin 3(3) (21a line 30). fixed to its head, anybody who uses anything from in it into the public domain or from the public domain into it is liable. 1:1 ( ס ) 51d l. 56. The parallel discussion in the Babli is Sukkah 5a . Since the entire discussion is Amoraic, one must conclude that for earlier times the limitation of the public domain to 10 hand-breadths from the ground was tradition not subject to verification from biblical sources. From where that higher than ten [hand-breadths] is a different domain? Rebbi Abbahu in the name of Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: There I shall make My Appearance to you, and I shall speak to you from above the cover (which is on the Ark of the Covenant ) from between the two Cherubim 25:6 . The words in parentheses are not in the verse and not in ס ; they are added to indicate that the argument is about the Ark. . And it is written, you have seen that from Heaven I spoke to you 20:22 . . Since speech mentioned there is from another domain, also speech mentioned here is from another domain. But is the Ark not nine hand-breadths 25:10 ). ? In the House of Rebbi Yannai they said, the cover was one hand-breadth 5b , this is questioned but in the end accepted. The biblical data do not fit the assertion. The cover was square of surface area 3.75(cubit) ( Ex. 25:17 ). The hand-breadth and the cubit are not well defined. If we take a small hand-breadth of 9 cm, cubit 54 cm, then a cover of one hand-breadth height would have a volume of 98.415 (dm). Since the cover was of pure gold, of specific weight about 19, the total weight would have been 1870 kg. But the total weight of gold contributed for the Tabernacle ( Ex. 38:24 ) was 29.25 talents or, on a basis of 12.5 g for the sheqel, about 1097 kg, not to speak of the fact that a weight of almost 1.9 tons would have crushed the wooden ark. All these data were well within the knowledge of antiquity. One has to conclude that they imagined the cover to be hollow. . Rebbi Zeˋira asked, from where that the cover was one hand-breadth? Rebbi Ḥananiah bar Samuel stated, for all the vessels in the Sanctuary the Torah gave the measure of length and width, and gave the measure of its height. Except for the cover where the Torah gave the measure of length and width, but did not give the measure of its height. Therefore we shall learn it from the smallest vessel in the Sanctuary, you shall make for it a frame of one hand-breadth all around 5b , this is questioned but in the end accepted. The biblical data do not fit the assertion. The cover was square of surface area 3.75(cubit) ( Ex. 25:17 ). The hand-breadth and the cubit are not well defined. If we take a small hand-breadth of 9 cm, cubit 54 cm, then a cover of one hand-breadth height would have a volume of 98.415 (dm). Since the cover was of pure gold, of specific weight about 19, the total weight would have been 1870 kg. But the total weight of gold contributed for the Tabernacle ( Ex. 38:24 ) was 29.25 talents or, on a basis of 12.5 g for the sheqel, about 1097 kg, not to speak of the fact that a weight of almost 1.9 tons would have crushed the wooden ark. All these data were well within the knowledge of antiquity. One has to conclude that they imagined the cover to be hollow. . Since there it was one hand-breadth, so also here one hand-breadth. But maybe it is only make a golden wreath as its frame all around 5b , this is questioned but in the end accepted. The biblical data do not fit the assertion. The cover was square of surface area 3.75(cubit) ( Ex. 25:17 ). The hand-breadth and the cubit are not well defined. If we take a small hand-breadth of 9 cm, cubit 54 cm, then a cover of one hand-breadth height would have a volume of 98.415 (dm). Since the cover was of pure gold, of specific weight about 19, the total weight would have been 1870 kg. But the total weight of gold contributed for the Tabernacle ( Ex. 38:24 ) was 29.25 talents or, on a basis of 12.5 g for the sheqel, about 1097 kg, not to speak of the fact that a weight of almost 1.9 tons would have crushed the wooden ark. All these data were well within the knowledge of antiquity. One has to conclude that they imagined the cover to be hollow. ? Since there it is a minimal size, so here also a minimal size. What about it? Rav Aḥa bar Jacob said, face. There is no face less than a hand-breadth 16:2 where Aaron is warned not to appear before the face of the cover except on the day of Atonement. This implies that the cover was not simply a sheet lying over the ark but had a face, a vertical dimension which is not negligible. . Rebbi Yose asked, if there were a very high chest standing in a house, would it not be permitted to use anything from in it into the house or from the house into it? But we are dealing when it was indicating to them the geographic directions 10:33 ) while the Sanctuary was carried in the middle ( v. 17 ). At the resting place, the Ark automatically assumed a West-East direction so that the Sanctuary could be placed around it and the tribes camped correctly in the four directions of the compass ( Num. 2 ). The Ark had functions outside the Sanctuary; the reference is legitimate. . This is understandable for him who said, a cubit of six [hand-breadths] 98a . . But for him who said, a cubit of five hand-breadths? Would the Ark not be seven and one half hand-breadths? Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa said, the House of Rebbi Yannai and Rebbi Simeon ben Yoṣadaq. One learns it from the Ark, but the other learns it from the wagons 31:12–18 and 35:1–3 the observation of the Sabbath is emphasized in the instructions for the building of the Tabernacle. One concludes that the work forbidden on the Sabbath is exactly work needed in building or transporting the Tabernacle. The wagons mentioned here are the 6 wagons donated by the tribal chiefs for the transport of the Sanctuary ( Num. 7:3 ). . We do not know who learned it from the Ark and who learned in from the wagons. It is reasonable that the House of Rebbi Yannai learned it from the Ark since the House of Rebbi Yannai said, the cover was one hand-breadth. Rebbi Simeon ben Yoṣadaq learns if from the Wagons. Rebbi Zeˋira asked, from where that the Wagons were ten [hand-breadths] high? Rebbi Yose said, and even if you said that they were ten high, did not Rebbi Neḥemiah state that the Freight Wagons were like a cupola(also camera ) “arched or vaulted roof or ceiling, distinct from an outer roof”. The wagons are called עֶגְלֹ֥ת צָב֙. Now צָב means “turtle”; from this comes the usual translation “covered wagon”, using the image of the domed back of the turtle. The expression really is a technical term “freight-wagon”, Accadic ṣubbum, ṣūbum. ? If there was a hole in the public domain ten deep and four wide, would it no be forbidden to use anything from in it into the public domain or from the public domain into it? But when they were transferring the planks from one to the other they were straight 2:5 . . “Neither is liable.” Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa in the name of Ḥizqiah, the rabbis in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: In the category of two people performing one work 4:27 . The verse is emphatic that purification sacrifices are available only for single perpetrators acting in error: If one person of the people of the land sin in error, if he act in one of the commandments of the Eternal which is a prohibition, and be damaged. . Rav asked Rebbi, if another person put a bundle on his back, when he forgot and brought it out? On the occasion of the second repetition another time. he told him, he is liable because it does not compare to this. Rebbi is of the opinion that when he started to walk it is as if he had taken up the object. In the opinion of Rebbi, if he stood in the public domain and threw but ran and caught it in a private domain, what? But is that not Rebbi since Rebbi made the airspace enclosed by walls like its essence? It is only necessary in case he stood in the private domain and threw but ran and and caught it in a public domain, what? It was found stated: Rebbi declares him not liable until the moment it comes to rest. Rebbi Abun said, Rebbi, Ben Azzai, and Rebbi Aqiba, all three said the same. Rebbi made the airspace enclosed by walls like its essence. Ben Azzai made the airspace enclosed by karmelit like its essence is considered lying there. . Rebbi Aqiba made the airspace over public domain like its essence. “There are four kinds of domain on the Sabbath: Private domain, public domain, karmelit, and dead-end streets; their particular status is that by an eruv they can be transformed into private domains, whereas passages open at both ends in general cannot. These differences belong to Tractate Eruvin. . What is private domain? A ditch ten deep and four wide, or a wall ten high and four wide; this is completely private domain. And what is completely public domain? A street. , a wide road, desert, and passages open at both ends . One does not export from a private to a public domain nor import from a public to a private domain. If somebody exported or imported in error he is liable for a purification sacrifice; intentionally he is liable for extirpation or is stoned, whether he exports or imports, or lifts or throws. An ocean, or a valley is a part of the public domain not readily accessible to the public ( Chapter 13 Note 68 ). The two main examples are “the sides of a thoroughfare”, the part of a street close to the houses if that part is not easy to use because of stairs extending from the houses or if the fronts of the houses do not form a straight line. The other is “valley”, a rural access path which is public domain, not a thoroughfare but meant only as a path for farmers working adjacent fields. Since karmelit is not a thoroughfare (defined as road of at least 16 cubits width) it does not qualify as public domain for which transport from a private domain is forbidden. The statement of R. Joḥanan implies that he cannot consider walking as equivalent of standing still ( Note 56 ) since transporting from a private domain to karmelit followed by transport from karmelit to public domain, while forbidden on the Sabbath, does not generate liability ( Note 81 ). (The etymology of the word karmelit is unknown. Cf. Accadic karmiš “like a ruin”.) , or a platform Greek στιβάδιον; a semi-circular couch. , or a threshold, or karmelit are neither public nor private domain; one does not carry there looks like public domain. but if one carried he is not liable.” Rav Joseph said, in fact we have stated does not appear in the Mishnah, all the examples enumerated in the Tosephta are found in the Mishnah and the rules can be deduced from Mishnaic quotes. all of these. The sea as we have stated there: “One who in the sea throws four cubits is not liable.” Not only in the sea four cubits, but even if he throws the entire length of the sea he is not liable, for the entire sea is called karmelit . A valley is a part of the public domain not readily accessible to the public ( Chapter 13 Note 68 ). The two main examples are “the sides of a thoroughfare”, the part of a street close to the houses if that part is not easy to use because of stairs extending from the houses or if the fronts of the houses do not form a straight line. The other is “valley”, a rural access path which is public domain, not a thoroughfare but meant only as a path for farmers working adjacent fields. Since karmelit is not a thoroughfare (defined as road of at least 16 cubits width) it does not qualify as public domain for which transport from a private domain is forbidden. The statement of R. Joḥanan implies that he cannot consider walking as equivalent of standing still ( Note 56 ) since transporting from a private domain to karmelit followed by transport from karmelit to public domain, while forbidden on the Sabbath, does not generate liability ( Note 81 ). (The etymology of the word karmelit is unknown. Cf. Accadic karmiš “like a ruin”.) as we have stated 6:4 . The “valley” is agricultural domain accessible only by rural paths, not by a paved road. In the dry season, after the grain was cut and before the fields are ploughed for new seeds, the fields are accessible to everybody. Since there is nothing hidden there, it is like public domain for impurity but since it is not easy of access it cannot be considered public domain for the rules of the Sabbath. : “A valley during the dry season is private domain for the Sabbath but public domain for impurity1:2 Note 88 . . During the rainy season it is (private) [public] 6b , Bava batra 123b ), and alluded to in Bava batra 9:8 (Note 87 ). The text in brackets is that of the first corrector. It was noted by Qorban Haˋedah (as emendation of the Venice text since the ms. was not accessible to this author) and supported by convincing arguments by S. Liebermann (תלמודא דקיסרין p. 17 Note 2 , הירושלמי כפשוטו p. 15) and J. N. Epstein ( Tarbiz 5, 1934, p. 264) that the text of the scribe is correct and the correction a corruption. In the rainy season the fields are sown, the grain is growing, and any trespass by unauthorized persons is criminal. There is no doubt that the fields have the status of private domain both for the Sabbath and for cases of doubt about impurity. domain for both.” If you say private domain for both it should not need surrounding by animals’ gear, but we have stated 1:8 . A caravan which in the dry season uses a “valley” as camping ground for a stay over the Sabbath is required to turn the fields into a guarded place by arranging the (camel or donkey) loads as a symbolic wall (of 10 hand-breadths height). In the interior then one may carry unrestrictedly. This proves that in the dry season the fields are not private domains in the commonly accepted sense; they are karmelit. : “If they surrounded it by animals’ gear one carries in the interior.” A platform, as we have stated 9:5 . : “And similarly one carries under open bridges on the Sabbath, the words of Rebbi Jehudah; but the rabbis forbid.” A threshold, as we have stated: “If one carries out foodstuffs and puts them on the threshold; whether he or another person then carries it out, he is not liable since the work was not performed in one step.” Therefore if the work was completed in one step and therefore not creating liability, still does not create liability. he would be liable. Ben Azzai said, even if he completed the work at one time he would not be liable. Karmelit. Rebbi Ḥiyya stated: karmel “soft full”, neither moist nor dry but average Wayyiqra I Parsheta 13(8), Pereq 15(1). . And here it is neither public nor private domain but karmelit. What is karmelit ? Rebbi Yasa in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan, for example the store of Bar Justinus S. Liebermann conjectured that the store in question was situated in such a stoa. . A multi-party courtyard and dead-end streets: if there is an eruv they are permitted, but if no eruv was made they are forbidden, “mixing” (of domains), by arranging the potential of a common meal for all interested persons. A genuinely public domain cannot be turned into a private domain. Therefore the domains mentioned as candidates for eruv cannot be public domains. They also cannot be private domains since then they would need no eruv . . Rebbi Zeˋirah in the name of Rav Jehudah; Rebbi Zeˋira in the name of Rav Ḥinena in the name of Rebbi Ḥanina 7a): “Zaˋir bar Ḥinena in the name of Rebbi Ḥanina.” : landings f.) is confirmed by Rashba, the translation follows an emendation of Yefe Enaim, J. N. Epstein ( Tarbiz 1(2) p. 135), and S. Liebermann, to read מסטויות (with consonantal first vaw ), the Galilean form of Babylonian אצטבא used in the parallel 7a (as in Pesaḥim 5:8 ). between pillars are judged as karmelit . Rebbi Samuel bar Ḥiyya bar Jehudah 72b) he is quoted as R. Samuel bar Ḥiyya. in the name of Rebbi Ḥanina: The flowers of the pillars are considered karmelit. There it is necessary that they be higher than three [hand-breadths] ; Ḥiyya the son of Rav: Anything which hinders access in the public domain is considered karmelit. The rabbis of Caesarea say, even thistles, even glass. This is necessary if they are not three [hand-breadths] high. And Rebbi Yose 1(1), Note 162 , shows that the name is Yasa, R. Joḥanan’s student, and not the fifth generation R. Yose. said: The threshold about which they spoke is four wide but not ten high. If you would say, ten high and four wide, it is a domain by itself 33b . . If you would say, ten high but not four wide, that is what Rav Ḥisda said in the name of Assi: If a stick stuck in the public domain ten hand-breadths high, it is permitted both ways on condition that he not exchange. But we must deal with the case that it is neither four wide nor ten high One has to read: “four wide but not ten high” as noted by Qorban Haˋedah. . A threshold in front of the door; others say whenever the door is open it is entirely inside 9a ), since the outside platform is flush with the interior of the house there is no need to rabbinically forbid carrying from the house to the platform. Tosephta 1:6 . , when it is locked it is entirely outside. What are we dealing with? If it is roofed even when it is locked it is entirely inside, if it is not roofed even when it is open it is entirely outside. But we must deal with the case that it is partially roofed and partially not roofed. What does it mean, when it is locked it is entirely outside? It is permitted for use from it to the outside and from the outside to it. If there was a hole in the door it is forbidden for use from it to the hole and from the hole to it. Rebbi Nathan says, when it is locked it is entirely outside; when it is open it is partially inside and partially outside. And that is what we wanted to say; a threshold of four when the door is locked is entirely outside, also when the door is open it is partially inside and partially outside.

MISHNAH: A person should not sit before the barber close to the time of afternoon prayers unless he has prayed”) but the actual obligation starts only an hour and a quarter before sundown (“the small minḥah ”). The “hours” mentioned here are variable, one-twelfth of the time between sunrise and sundown. From the Halakhah in the Yerushalmi it is clear that only the small minḥah is taken into account; in the Babli (9b ) both times are considered. . Nor should one enter the bathhouse or the tannery, nor start eating, nor sit in judgment; if they started they should not interrupt. One interrupts for the recitation of the Shema ˋ but not for prayer 41 based on Deut. 10:12 ) neither time nor texts are fixed by biblical law. Therefore there is no biblical obligation to pray at any fixed time; all rules are rabbinic even if based on Dan. 6:11, a book without standing in halakhah. On the other hand, the recitation of the Shema ˋ evenings and mornings is a biblical requirement ( Deut. 6:7 , 11:19 ). An ongoing activity one interrupts for biblical but not for rabbinic obligations. . HALAKHAH: Mishnah: “A person should not sit before the barber,” etc. We have stated “close to the afternoon prayers.” Rebbi Ḥiyya stated, close to darkness. Our Mishnah needs Rebbi Ḥiyya’s baraita and Rebbi Ḥiyya’s baraita needs our Mishnah. If Rebbi Ḥiyya had stated rather than we, we would have said that he means exactly darkness but not the afternoon prayers. Therefore our Mishnah is necessary. But if Rebbi Ḥiyya had stated rather than we, we would have said that everywhere “afternoon prayers” is stated it means afternoon prayers, and everywhere “darkness” is stated it means darkness. Since we stated “afternoon prayers” and Rebbi Ḥiyya stated “darkness”, this implies that “darkness” stated later refers to the time of afternoon prayers”, the time when afternoon prayers first become possible, half an hour after Noontime, or “the small Minḥah ” when prayers become mandatory, one and a quarter hours before sundown. It is clear that the Yerushalmi identifies “ Minḥah ” as “the small Minḥah ”. The Babli 9b seems to disagree. . Rebbi Ḥananiah the son of Rav Hoshaia’s brother said, our Mishnah refers to the vulgar, what Rebbi Ḥiyya stated to fellowsThe vulgar are persons following rabbinic rules in general; the fellows follow all detailed rules, in particular those of purity and tithing. As S. Liebermann has noted, the anonymous Yerushalmi as a matter of principle considers the Mishnah and R. Ḥiyya’s Tosephta (which is not the Tosephta in our hands) as complementary whereas named authors tend to consider them as competing systems. . The rabbis of Caesarea say our Mishnah is following Rebbi Jehudah 4:1 , R. Jehudah states that afternoon prayers are only permitted until “the small Minḥah ” while the rabbis permit it until nightfall. , what Rebbi Ḥiyya stated follows the rabbis. “Before the barber close to the time of afternoon prayers unless he had prayed. Nor should one enter a bathhouse.” What is the start of hair-dressing? When he starts cutting the hair. But did we not state, if he sat down to have his hair cut and they came and told him that his father had died, he finishes [grooming] his head, whether it was the person grooming or the one being groomed. It is done only when he is wrapped in the shoulder cloth n. “towel”. Babli 9b . . 1:7 (Notes 594–605 ). What is the start of bathing? Rebbi Zeriqan in the name of Rebbi Ḥanina said, when he opened his belt. Rav said, when he took off his shoe. As the following. Rebbi Joshua ben Levi was used to hear the lesson of his grandson every Friday. Once he forgot and went bathing in the public baths of Tiberias; he was leaning on Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Abba’s shoulder. He remembered that he had not heard his grandson’s lesson, turned around and left. When was this? Rebbi Derosai said, he was anointing himself. Rebbi Eleazar ben Rebbi Yose says, he had taken off his clothes. Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Abba said to him, did our teacher not teach us “if they started they should not interrupt”? He said to him, Ḥiyya my son, is that unimportant in your eyes? For anyone who hears the lesson from his grandson is as if he heard it from Sinai. What is the reason? You shall make it known to your sons and grandsons, the day when you stood before the Eternal, your God, at Horeb 4:10 . A slightly different interpretation un the name of R. Joshua ben Levi in the Babli, Qiddušin 30a . . Rebbi Ḥizqiah, Rebbi Jeremiah, Rebbi Ḥiyya in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: If you can link the tradition back to Moses, link it. Otherwise, take either the very first or the very last [source]. Giddul said, anybody who quotes somebody should consider it as if the author of the quote stood before him. What is the reason? Only in image a man wanders 39:7 . . It is written, many a man professes good will, but where will you find one you can trust 20:6 . ? That is Rebbi Zeˋira, as Rebbi Zeˋira said, we do not take the traditions of Rav Sheshet into account since he is blind. Rebbi Zeˋira said to Rebbi Yasa, does the Rabbi know Bar Pedaiah that you quote traditions in his name? He said to him, Rebbi Joḥanan quoted them in his name. Rebbi Zeˋira said to Rebbi Abba bar Zavda, does the Rabbi know Rav that you quote traditions in his name? He said to him, Rav Ada bar Ahavah quoted them in his name. “Nor the tannery.” Come and look, does one not avoid people who stink? And you say so? It comes only when he puts on his work clothes but not for prayer since the recitation does not need concentration and therefore needs only a short moment whereas prayer requires concentration and a longer interruption. The question raised here is that it is forbidden to recite the Šemaˋ (or quote any verse) at smelly places (cf. Berakhot 3:5 ). Since tanning of hides produces bad smell, the tanner cannot recite anything unless he remove himself from his place of work and cleanse himself thoroughly, which consumes more time than people usually spend for prayer. Therefore reciting the Šemaˋ for a tanner should follow the rules of prayer and he should not be required to interrupt his work. The answer is that he is required to interrupt only if he already has put on his work clothes but not entered the tannery. The fact is noted in the Babli (9b ), the question is not asked. . “Nor start eating.” What is the start of eating? Rebbi Aha, Rebbi Abba in the name of Rebbi: When he washed his hands. Rebbi Aha said, this was said for Qidduš. Rebbi Abba said, this was said for the benediction. Rav had washed his hands when his son Hiyya gave a sign to the waiter, who wanted to serve him. He told him, we already started the meal. 2:9 (Notes 354–360 ), ב . Clarification. Rebbi Miasha and Rebbi Samuel bar Rav Isaac were sitting and eating in one of the upper synagogues. There came the time of prayer and Rebbi Samuel bar Rav Isaac got up to pray. Rebbi Misha said to him, Teacher, did you not teach us that once one started one does not interrupt? And Ḥizqiah stated, every one who is not under an obligation and does it anyway is called uneducated? He said to him, did we not state, “the bridegroom is not liable 2:6 . ,” “the bridegroom if he wants to recite recites 2:9 . .” He answered him, I can explain this following Rabban Gamliel who said, “I shall not listen to you to lift from me the Kingdom of Heaven for one moment 2:6 . .” “Nor sit in judgment.” Rav Jeremiah and Rav Joseph. One said, when they sat down to judge; the other said, when they start presenting their arguments. 1:5 (Notes 163–175 ) available both in the Leiden ms. ( ב ) and a Genizah text edited by L. Ginzberg ( בּ ) שרידי הירושלמי pp. 4–5. Where these two sources concur, their text seems preferable. “One interrupts for the recitation of the Shemaˋ but not for prayer.” Rebbi Aḥa said, the recitation of Shemaˋ is a Biblical obligation; prayer is not a Biblical obligation. Rebbi Abba said, the time for the recitation of the Shemaˋ is fixed, the time for prayer is not fixed. Rebbi Yose said, the recitation of Shemaˋ does not need concentration, prayer needs concentration. Rebbi Mana said: I objected before Rebbi Yose: Even if you say that the recitation of the Shemaˋ does not need concentration, the first three verses need concentration. Since there are so few, one will concentrate. Rebbi Joḥanan said in the name of Rebbi Simeon ben Yoḥai: “For example we, who are engaged in the study of Torah, do not interrupt even for the recitation of the Shemaˋ .” Rebbi Joḥanan used to say about himself: “For example we, who are not engaged in the study of Torah, do interrupt even for prayer.”This one follows his own opinion and that one follows his own opinion. Rebbi Joḥanan follows his own opinion since Rebbi Joḥanan said, if only a man prayed the entire day. Why? Because prayer is never in vain.Rebbi Simeon ben Yoḥai follows his own opinion since Rebbi Simeon ben Yoḥai said, if I had stood at Mount Sinai at the moment that the Torah was given to Israel, I would have implored the All-Merciful that He should create two mouths for a man; one for him to exert himself in Torah, and the other one for his needs. But he changed and said, with one mouth already the world almost cannot exist because of the denunciations, m. “informant”. ; if there were two how much more would there be?Rebbi Yose said before Rebbi Jeremiah: The position of Rebbi Joḥanan is identical with that of Rebbi Ḥananiah ben Aqiba, as we have stated: “The scribes of Torah scrolls, Tefillin , and Mezuzot , do interrupt for the recitation of Shemaˋ but do not interrupt for prayer. Rebbi Ḥananiah ben Aqiba said, just as they interrupt for Shemaˋ , so they interrupt for prayer, Tefillin, and all other commandments of the Torah.”Would not Rebbi Simeon ben Yoḥai agree that one interrupts to make a Sukkah or a lulav? Does not Rebbi Simeon ben Yoḥai make the distinction between one who studies to do and one who studies in order not to do? Because he who studies in order not to do would have been better off had he not been born 17a ; Lev. r. 35(6 ), Sifra Beḥuqqotai Introduction (5 ). . And did not Rebbi Joḥanan say, he who studies in order not to do would have been better off if the placenta he was in was twisted around and he never would have entered the world? The reason of Rebbi Simeon ben Yoḥai is that this one is repeated study and that one is repeated study and one does not push aside one study for the other study. But did we not state 1:5 . : “He who reads after that did not lose, he is like a man reading in the Torah”? Hence, at the right time it is preferred to Torah. Rebbi Yudan said that Rebbi Simeon ben Yoḥai, since he was enjoying studying Torah, did not prefer Shemaˋ to the study of Torah. Rebbi Abba Mari said, did we not state: “He is only like a man studying Torah.” Hence, at the right time it is like Mishnah. Rebbi Simeon ben Yoḥai follows his own opinion since Rebbi Simeon ben Yoḥai said, he who studies the written Torah does himself good that is not so good. But the rabbis equate the study of the Bible with that of the oral law 33a. .

MISHNAH: A tailor should not leave with his needle close to sundown lest he forget and leave; nor the scribe with his pen. He should not check his garments for lice nor read by candlelight. In truth they said that the teacher may look where the children are reading but he may not read himself. Similarly, the male sufferer from gonorrhea should not eat with a female sufferer from flux because of inducement to sin is the sufferer from gonorrhea ( Lev. 15:1–15 ); his impurity is severe, infectious, and needs an elaborate ceremonial for cleansing the healed patient. The female zavah suffers from excessive menstruation or other bloody discharges; her impurity similarly is severe, infectious, and needs a (less elaborate) ceremonial for cleansing the healed patient ( Lev. 15:25–30 ). Since sexual relations with a menstruating woman are forbidden ( Lev. 15:24 , 18:19 ), by extension relations with the zava also are forbidden. Therefore, situations that might lead to intimacy with a zavah have to be avoided. . HALAKHAH: Mishnah: “A tailor should not leave with his needle close to sundown lest he forget and leave,” etc. It was stated: “A tailor should not leave with a needle in his garment, nor a scribe with the pen behind his ear, nor a dyer with a sample behind his ear, nor a money-changer with a denar behind his ear. If one of these left they are not liable, the words of Rebbi Meïr. Rebbi Jehudah says, a craftsman in the ways of his craft is liable, therefore everybody else may leave with one of these.”The argument of Rebbi Meïr seems inverted, as we have stated there: “If she left she is liable, the words of Rebbi Meïr,” and here he says so? Rebbi Mana said it without attribution, Rebbi Abun in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: There women usually do it, but here only children leave with this. The argument of the rabbis seems inverted, as we have stated there: “But the Sages declare not liable with a plate of make-up or a flask of perfume unguent or oil made of the leaves of spicenard.. .” Therefore with a needle with ear she is liable ear she is liable.” This must refer to a pin which is not a decoration. . Is that a craftsman who is liable in the way of his craft? Rebbi Yose ben Abun said, explain it for a woman hairdresser. Mishnah “He should not check his garments for lice nor read by candlelight,” etc. Even on weekdays it is forbidden since it is not decent. It was stated: One who checks his garments takes and throws away; only he should not rub. Abba Shaul says, he may rub and throw away, only he should not kill. Ḥizqiah said, one who kills a louse is like one who kills a camel. Samuel broke off its hands and feet and gave if to the children. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun put it in a flask. Rebbi Simeon ben Ḥalafta said, did we not understand this from the purple snail? Does the purple snail have sinews and bones? But was it not stated: Any which has neither sinews nor bones does not live more than six months 58a . ? For Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said in the name of Rav Zevid, the Holy One, praise to Him, turns around His world once in seven years louse cannot live a full year, it may morph into something which can; therefore killing it is forbidden on the Sabbath. . 16a where R. Ḥananel quotes the Yerushalmi in extenso : ר׳ יוסי ב״ר בון בשם ר׳ זביד אחת לשבה הקב״ה מחליף עולמו ממוחו דרישא מתעבד עקרב ודמעיא סממה תולעתא דסוסיא מתעבדא עוראי. ודתורתא מתעבדא דברי עכברא דתורא מתעבד חזיר בר. שיזרתא דנונא מתעבדא נדל. דתניא צבוע זכר לאחר ז׳ שנִים נעשה ערפד ערפד לאחר ז׳ שנִים נעשה קימוש. קימוש לאחר ז׳ שנִים נעשה חיה ויש אומרים חוה חוה לאחר ז׳ שנִים נעשה שד שדרתו של אדם לאחר ז׳ שנִים נעשה נחש והני מילי בההוא דלא כרע במודים. Rebbi Yose ben R. Abun in the name of R. Zevid: the Holy One, praise to Him, turns around His world once in seven years. The marrow in the head becomes a scorpion and that of innards a lizard. A horse worm turns into a wasp, that of cattle into a bee. The spine of a fish turns into a centipede. As is stated, a male hyena after seven years turns into a bat, a bat after seven years turns into a hedgehog, a hedgehog after seven years turns into a wild animal; some say a snake. A snake after seven years turns into a demon. A human’s spine after seven years turns into a snake; this refers to one who does not bow down at “we thank”. Since all words in this version are identifiable, it has to be considered as lectio facilior . In the original version, קמקמה is unidentified (unlikely قمقام “moth”). Kohut proposes Farsi خمخم “crab”. Liebermann reads קמוסא “hedgehog”. The three words חו רב פדה should be read as one, חרפדה which is the same as ערפד “bat”. חר אפר again is a corruption of the same word. דמנייא seems to be a corruption of the word דמעיא quoted by R. Ḥananel. Also שר seems a misreading for שד “demon”. The last sentence refers to the penultimate benediction in the Amidah , the main prayer, where one is required to bow down while reciting “we are thanking You”. This last statement is quoted in many Medieval liturgical tractates, starting with R. Amram Gaon’s Siddur . Qamqama turns into Ḥu-Rav-Padah. Ḥar-Efer turns into Šer. The head louse turns into a scorpion and the one of garments into a lizard. A horse worm turns into a wasp, that of cattle into a bee. A male hyena turns into a female, a field rat turns into a wild boar. The spine of a fish turns into a centipede, of a human into a snake. When? If he does not bow down with his entire spine. Rebbi Ḥiyya stated: But one may investigate what is in the cup or the pot without worry. Some want to say, because it is for a short time; but some want to say because of cleanliness or danger. What is the difference between them? To separate lettuce leaves. For him who says, because it is for a short time, it is forbidden. For him who says, because of cleanliness or danger, it is permitted. Rav Jeremiah visited Rav Assi, who mixed a cup for him. He started inspecting it. His house companion said to him, look what he is doing! He told her, because he follows his teacher’s argument, as Rebbi Ḥiyya stated: But one may investigate what is in the cup or the pot without worry. “Nor read by candlelight”. Samuel said, they stated that only for a single person. Therefore for two, who can hinder one another, it is permitted. Samuel’s baraita disagrees with him: “Both a light which he can turn as one which he cannot turn.” Ulla bar Ismael in the name of Rebbi Eleazar: Even many. In the opinion of Rebbi Eleazar even if it is very high, even if it is in (one) house, even if it is on a look-out . It was stated, lest he forget and turn. “Rebbi Ismael said, I will read but not turn. He forgot and almost turned. He said, how great are the words of the Sages who said, lest he forget and turn. Rebbi Nathan says, he actually turned and wrote on his writing tablet, Ismael ben Elisha turned the light on the Sabbath. When the Temple will be rebuilt he is liable for a purification sacrifice.” There, we have stated 2:4 . : “Do not believe in yourself up to the day of your death.” It happened that a pious man sat and stated, do not believe in yourself up to your old age, as I Am. There came a spirit to tempt him, and he started to err after her. She told him, do not feel bad, I am a spirit. Go and be equal to your colleagues. Mishnah: “In truth they said that the teacher may look where the children are reading.” Rebbi Eleazar said that every place where they stated “in truth” it is practice going back to Moses on Mount Sinai 2:2 Note 36 , Terumot 2:1 Note 16 , Nazir 7:3 Note 179 (in Chapter 10 and Nazir in the name of R. Eliezer); Babli 92b , Bava meṣiˋa 60a. Since the prohibition to read by candlelight is purely rabbinic, the expression “going back to Moses on Mount Sinai” is an exaggeration. Probably it simply should say “it is practice”, i. e., without dissent; this is the formulation of the Babli, 92b . . What does he have to put in order? The beginnings of paragraphs [or] verses. It was stated: “Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel said, children prepare the beginnings of verses by candlelight.” What about it? These want the light to go out, those do not want the light to go out. Mishnah: “Similarly, the male sufferer from gonorrhea should not eat with a female sufferer from flux.” It was stated: Rebbi Simeon ben Eleazar says, look how far purity did spread, as it is said. 30:30 . , for the little which you had expanded mightily; . 4:38 . The implication is that in both cases the increase was the reward of exact observation of the rules of purity. and their families expanded mightily . They did not decide to say, the pure may not eat with the impure, but they said, the male sufferer from gonorrhea should not eat with a female sufferer from flux; therefore the male sufferer from gonorrhea with a female sufferer from skin disease is permitted. He shall dwell outside his tent . 14:8 . The “tent” is an euphemism for the wife with whom he sleeps, as in Deut. 5:27 , where Moses reports that he was commanded by God to tell the people “to return to their tents” after the epiphany of Sinai where they had been forbidden intercourse for three days prior ( Ex. 19:15 ), except for Moses who was commanded “to stay with Me” ( Deut. 5:28 ). The use of the masculine suffix, his tent, is interpreted to exclude the female from restriction of sexual activity. The verse refers to the healed sufferer from skin disease in the process of his purification. There is a dispute whether the prohibition of sexual relations extends to the time of actual sickness. The Babylonian sources [ Keritut 8b , also Moˋed qatan 7a; Sifra Mesoraˋ Parashah 2(11)] are unanimous that the prohibition does not extend. This also seems to be implied by Mishnah Negaˋim 14:2 . But the text here implies that any male sufferer from skin disease is forbidden sexual relations (which in Sifra is labelled as opinion of R. Yose ben R. Jehudah.) but not outside her tent. A male sufferer from skin disease with a female sufferer from flux is forbidden; a male sufferer from skin disease with a female sufferer from skin disease is forbidden. It was stated: “The House of Shammai say, a Pharisee sufferer from gonorrhea may not eat with a vulgar sufferer from gonorrhea, but the House of Hillel permit it.” What is the reason of the House of Hillel? This one suffers from gonorrhea and that one suffers from gonorrhea. But what is the reason of the House of Shammai? If he gets used to him during the days of his impurity he will remain used to him in the days of his purity. The Elder Rebbi Ḥiyya commanded Rav, if you are able to eat profane food in purity the entire year long, eat it. But if not, eat it seven days per year, end, in the name of Raviah (ed. Aptowitzer) vol. 2 p. 208, cf. the earlier sources noted there, Note 6 ]. . is the end of the Babylonian Mishnah Soṭah (quoted in Avodah zarah 20b ); it is not in the Yerushalmi Mishnah. The entire paragraph appears in a slightly different version (adapted to the Babylonian Mishnah) in the hand of the first corrector in Šeqalim 3:4 ; the differences will be indicated in the Notes. The Šeqalim text, with the Babylonian version, consist- ently has the full form “ a brings to b ”. There also exists a Genizah text edited by L. Ginzberg ( op. cit. Note 25 p. 66ff.) which here is too fragmentary to be of much use. The different version has the sequence cleanliness purity holiness meekness fear of sin piety Holy Spirit resurrection. In Yerushalmi sources it also is found in Cant. rabba 1(9 ) whereas the version in the text here is in the Munich ms. of the Babli Avodah zarah 20b . The Šeqalim text is reproduced in Midrash Prov. Chap. 15[32]. The different implications naturally require different verses. “From here did Rebbi Phineas ben Yair say, promptitude brings to cleanliness, cleanliness brings to purity, purity brings to holiness, holiness to meekness, meekness to fear of sin, fear of sin to the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit to piety, piety to the Resurrection of the Dead, the Resurrection of the Dead through Elijah, may his remembrance be a blessing.”“Promptitude to cleanliness,” he finishes, and he atones : וְכִלָּה֙ מִכַּפֵּ֣ר he finishes to atone ( Lev . 16:20 ). The High Priest, who has to perform all the rites of the day of Atonement unaided, has to be quick because only if he finishes all required ceremonies will there be atonement. .“Cleanliness to purity,” the Cohen shall atone for her, then she will be pure . 12:8 . .“Purity to holiness,” he shall purify it and sanctify it . 16:19 . .“Holiness to meekness,” for so says the High and Elevated One, Who thrones eternally, His name is Holy, in sublimity and holiness I dwell, and the suppressed and of meek spirit 57:15 . The verse is explained differently in the Babli, Megillah 31a . .“Meekness to fear of sin,” the consequence of meekness is fear of the Eternal 22:4 . In the first quote, the implied meaning “consequence” is intended, in the second the original meaning “heel”. . Rebbi Isaac bar Eleazar said, what wisdom proclaimed as a crown to its head, meekness made a heel for its sandal, - ae f. “sandal”. , for it is written, the head of wisdom is the fear of the Eternal 111:10 . The usual meaning is the beginning of wisdom is … , but it is written, the heel of meekness is fear of the Eternal 22:4 . In the first quote, the implied meaning “consequence” is intended, in the second the original meaning “heel”. .“Fear of sin to the Holy Spirit,” as it is written, then you will understand and knowledge of God you will find 2:5 . .“The Holy Spirit to piety,” as it is written, then You spoke in a vision to Your pious 89:20 . .“Piety to the Resurrection of the Dead,” as it is written, I shall give My Spirit into you and you will live 37:14 . .“The Resurrection of the Dead through Elijah, may his remembrance be a blessing,” as it is written, behold I am sending to you Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Eternal, that he turn the fathers’ hearts to the sons and the sons’ hearts to their fathers 3:23–24 . .It was stated in the name of Rebbi Meïr: Anybody permanently in the Land of Israel who eats his profane food in purity, speaks in the holy language, and recites the Shemaˋ mornings and evenings is assured to participate in the life of the World to Come: “… eats his produce in purity, …, may be told that …”. .

MISHNAH: These are of the practices which were pronounced at the upper floor of Ḥananiah ben Ḥizqiah ben Garon, when they came to visit him. They voted and the House of Shammai had the majority over the House of Hillel; eighteen items they decided on that day. HALAKHAH: Mishnah: “These are of the practices which were pronounced at the upper floor of Ḥananiah ben Ḥizqiah ben Garon, when they came to visit him,” etc. “This day was hard for Israel like the day on which the Golden C alf was made. Rebbi Eliezer said, on that day they filled the bushel to overflow. Rebbi Joshua said, on that day they filled the bushel to the rim. Rebbi Eliezer said to him, if it was deficient and they filled it it would have been reasonable, as with an amphora full of nuts; if you fill it with sesame seeds it will be strengthened. Rebbi Joshua said to him, if it had been full and they diminished it, it would have been reasonable, as with an amphora filled with oil; if you add water to it it dilutes the oil.” Rebbi Joshua from Ono stated: The students of the House of Shammai were standing downstairs and killing the students of the House of Hillel. It was stated, six of them went up; the rest were standing around them with swords and lances. It was stated, eighteen things they decided, in eighteen they were a majority and in eighteen they were divided. The following they decided: About Gentiles’ bread, and about their cheeses, and about their oil Chapter 2; a copy of some of the discussion is reproduced later in the present Chapter. , and about their daughters 36b . , and about their semen, and about their urine 36b . , and about the rules of a person with an emission, as detailed in Tractate Berakhot 3:4, Notes 173–200. , and about the rules of the land of Gentiles 6:17). Who formalized the rules of this impurity is a matter of controversy ( Babli 14b ). It seems that the new decision was to decree impurity for regions of the Holy Land inhabited by Gentiles ( Ḥagigah 3:4 , 79b l. 75, Babli 25a ). . There we have stated 8:12. The Mishnah is also quoted and discussed in the Babli 13b as list of the 18 items. : “The following make heave unusable. One who eats food impure in the first degree, and one who eats food impure in the second degree 18:11 , 13 ). According to biblical standards, only original impurity or at most its first derivative can make food impure. Therefore heave which was touched by a person who ingested food one or two steps removed from original impurity should become impure in the second or third degree and therefore be permitted for the Cohen. By rabbinic usage, heave may become impure in the second degree and invalid in the third. , and one who drinks impure drinks, and one who comes with his head and most of his body in drawn water). , and a pure person on whose head and most of his body fell three log drawn water is slightly more than half a liter. , and a scroll if for some reason one has to manipulate the parchment with one’s hands. , and hands). , and the Ṭevul yom may consume sanctified food only after the next sundown ( Lev . 22:7 ). The biblical text does not specify what the status is of the person between immersion and sundown, when he is called ṭevul yom “immersed during daytime”. While he is pure, by rabbinic convention (but following some opinions by biblical decree) he invalidates sanctified food by his touch as if he were impure in the second degree (cf. Sotah 5:2 Notes 42,46,47,68.) , and food and vessels which became impure by fluids.” The rabbis of Caesarea said, of those which they decided there were seven of those where they had a majority. The others are the following: A person being on the road when it gets dark gives his wallet to a Non-Jew. Similarly, the male sufferer from gonorrhea should not eat with a female sufferer from flux because of inducement to sin. All movables transmit impurity by the thickness of the yoke. How one harvests grapes on a broken field 18:1 . The House of Hillel have a prescription for this; the House of Shammai disagree and require the grapes to be cut from the vine with a flintstone knife (or some other permanently pure implement) and transported in a basket woven of willow twigs, which is impervious to impurity. It is asserted that practice has to follow the House of Shammai. . One who puts vessels under the pipe become invalid if they are in a vessel. If one builds a conduit of spring water into the miqweh which never had the status of a vessel, this is fine. But if the pipe is supported somewhere by vessels, the House of Shammai declare the miqweh invalid in all cases, against a more lenient opinion of the House of Hillel who declare it valid if the vessels were forgotten, not put there intentionally. Tosephta 1:19 . . For six doubts one burns heave 4:5 . While in general it is forbidden to burn edible heave which is not certainly impure, there is a list of six cases in which one considers a doubt as equivalent to certitude of impurity. . Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, also the growth of heave 9:4 Note 57 ). . The following they decided: the first ten and the remainder from what Rebbi Simeon ben Yoḥai stated: On that day they decided about their bread, and their cheeses, and their wine Chapter 2; a copy of some of the discussion is reproduced later in the present Chapter. , and their vinegar, and their fish brine, and their muries , -ae or muries , -ei f. “brine, fish sauce”; cf. Avodah zarah 2:4, Note 241 . , and their preserves, and their parboiled food, and their corned food Chapter 2. , and on split grain, and on ground food, and on peeled barley 6:2 . Produce may become impure only if it had been “prepared” for it by intentional contact with one of the fluids which may cause impurity (water, wine, olive oil, blood, milk, bee’s honey). It is assumed that any grain undergoing some manufacturing process was moistened to facilitate the production; therefore it is treated as certainly susceptible to impurity. , f. peeled barley. , on their speech, and on their testimony, and on their gifts Chapter 1. , on their sons 36b . , and on their daughters 36b . , and on their firstlings. 2:9, partially also from Ševiˋit , Terumot , and Maˋaser Šeni ; fully documented with variant readings and explained there in Notes 347–386 . The order of the paragraphs is different. One discusses the original list of the 18 decrees. Their bread. Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa in the name of Rebbi Jonathan: this is of the practices of obfuscation. Rebbi Yose said, so I asked before Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa: What means “of the practices of obfuscation? Do we say, at a place where Jewish bread is available it is logical that Gentile bread should be forbidden and they obfuscated about it and permitted it? Or at a place where Jewish bread is not available it would be logical that Gentile bread should be permitted and they obfuscated about it and forbade it? Rebbi Mana said, is there any obfuscation for prohibition? But is bread not like cooking of Gentiles? Are we saying: At a place where no Jewish cooking is available it would be logical that Gentile cooking should be permitted? But it must be the following: At a place where Jewish bread is not available it would be logical that Gentile bread should be forbidden and they obfuscated about it and permitted it because of the necessities of life. The rabbis of Caesarea in the name of Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa: Following the words of him who was permitting, but only from the store; but one does not do this. They said before the Elder Rebbi Ḥiyya: Rebbi Simeon ben Yoḥai stated thus: Food you shall buy from them with money and eat, and also water you may acquire 2:9, partially also from Ševiˋit , Terumot , and Maˋaser Šeni ; fully documented with variant readings and explained there in Notes 347–386 . The order of the paragraphs is different. One discusses the original list of the 18 decrees. , etc. As water is not changed from its natural state, so anything which was not changed from its natural state. They objected: Are there not their dry beans, פנקריסין and קובטיות, roasted grain, and hot water permitted? One understands all of these because they can be soaked and return to their former state. What about roasted grain? Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun in the name of Rav said: Any food which can be eaten alone raw is not in the category of Gentile cooking but one may use it for eruv tavšilin . How does Rebbi Ḥiyya explain food you shall buy from them ? You shall buy with food. If you fed him you bought him. If he causes you trouble buy him with food or otherwise ply him with him money. They said, that is what Rebbi Jonathan did. When he saw that a superior came to his town, he sent him an honor gift. What did he say? If a suit involving an orphan or a widow came he would have a way to mollify him. Their cheese. Rebbi Jeremiah said, why is a Gentile’s milk forbidden? Because of admixture from forbidden animals. It was stated so: “There is nothing to worry if the Jew stands with the herd while the Gentile milks and brings to him.” Rebbi Abba in the name of Rav Jehudah, Rebbi Simon in the name of Rebbi Joshua ben Levi: Why is a Gentile’s milk forbidden? Because of uncovering. Let him make cheese! Rebbi Samuel ben Rav Isaac said, because of the poison left between the holes. It was stated so: There are three kinds of poison; one swims, one sinks down, and one is similar to a net on top. In the days of Rebbi Jeremiah the barrels of the Great Assembly were uncovered. The first ones drank and did not die. The later ones died. I say that it was sinking poison. Workers were in the field. The water pitcher was uncovered. The first ones drank and did not die. The later ones died. I say that it was sinking poison. 8:5, Notes 139–142. “Uncovering is not a danger for oil and vinegar, brine, and muries, and honey, but Rebbi Simeon forbids. The Sages agree with Rebbi Simeon when it was seen pecking.” It was stated thus 7:17 , Babli Avodah zarah 30b . : “If a watermelon was pecked and ten people ate from it or wine was uncovered and ten people drank from it, it is forbidden to eat or drink after them; I say that there was sinking poison.” Their oil. Who forbade the oil? Rav Jehudah said, Daniel forbade it. Daniel was careful not to defile himself by the king’s repast and the wine he drank . Rebbi Aḥa, Rebbi Tanḥum bar Ḥiyya in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan, but some say it in the name of Rebbi Joshua ben Levi: For it they were climbing up King’s Mountain and were killed for it. And who permitted it? Rebbi and his court permitted it. At three places is Rebbi Jehudah the Prince called “our teachers,” in divorce documents, oil, and a sole. They should have called him “a permissive court”, for any court which permits three [previously forbidden] things is called “permissive court.” Rebbi Yudan ben Rebbi Ismael said, his court disagreed with him about bills of divorce.Rebbi Joḥanan asked: Did we not state, “for no court may invalidate the words of another court unless it be greater in wisdom and numbers”? And Rebbi and his court permit what Daniel and his companions forbade? Rebbi Joḥanan follows his own opinion, for Rebbi Joḥanan said in the name of Rebbi Eleazar ben Rebbi Ṣadoq, I have a tradition that any restrictive edict passed by a court which is not accepted by the majority of the public is not an edict. They checked and found in the matter of the edict about oil and did not find that a majority of the public followed it. Isaac bar Samuel bar Martha went down to Nisibis. He met Rebbi Simlai the Southerner who sat and expounded: Rebbi and his court permitted the oil. Samuel accepted this and ate. Rav did not eat. Samuel told him, eat! Otherwise I shall declare you a rebellious Elder. He answered him, when I still was there I knew who complained about it, Rebbi Simlai the Southerner. He told him, did he say it in the name of himself? No, in the name of Rebbi Jehudah the Prince. He bothered him and he ate. Their daughters. Rebbi Eleazar said, in seven places it is written do not intermarry with them 7:3 , an equivalent text is Ex. 34:16 . In any case, since the prohibition is biblical, how can it be counted as rabbinic decree? Babli Avodah zarah 36b . In the Genizah fragment published by L. Ginzberg (p. 67) one reads בשבועה מקומות “in oath places”. S. Liebermann wants to delete “places” and retain the statement “an oath, it is written”, i. e., it cannot be a rabbinic prohibition. The text as it appears here is quoted in Soṭah 1:8 (Note 285 ) . Rebbi Abun said, to forbid seven peoples 7:1 . The prohibition of all other Gentiles is rabbinic. . Rebbi Joshua from Ono stated, to forbid their eggs. Rebbi Ismael stated, and the ostrich’s daughter . 11:16 . . This is the ostrich’s egg 64b . . Their semen. But did not Rebbi Aḥa, Rebbi Ḥinena say in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan, a Gentile’s semen is pure for semen cannot be discharged without urine. 15:2 ). Any purity imputed to Gentiles must be rabbinic only; Babli Niddah 34a . . About the rules of a person with an emission, as detailed in Tractate Berakhot 3:4, Notes 173–200. . Rebbi Abba bar Aḥa in the name of Rebbi. He may study practical rules but not homiletics. It was stated in the name of Rebbi Yose: He may repeat known rules but he may not expound the Mishnah. Some want to say, he may not mention the Divine Name 3:4 (Notes 186–189 ); Babli Berakhot 22a . . And about the rules for the land of Gentiles. 8:11 , explained there in Notes 96–105 . Cf. Babli 14b . But did not Rebbi Zeˋira bar Abinna: “R. Zeˋira, R. Abuna”. say in the name of Rav Jeremiah: Joseph ben Yoezer from Ṣereda and Yose ben Joḥanan from Jerusalem decreed impurity of the land of Gentiles and of glass vessels; Rebbi Jonah said, Rebbi Jehudah ben Tabbai. Rebbi Yose said, Rebbi Jehudah ben Tabbai and Simeon ben Šetaḥ decreed impurity of metal vessels; Hillel and Shammai decreed about purity of hands. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun in the name of Rebbi Levi: so practice had been in their hands but they forgot it. The secondary [authorities] came and agreed with the intent of the first ones. To teach you that everything for which the Court made a real effort will in the end be confirmed for them as it was said to Moses on Sinai. This comes as Rebbi Mana said, for it is not an empty matter for you 32:42 . Quoted in Sukkah 4:1. , if it is an empty matter, it is from you since you do not exert yourselves for it. For it is your life . When is it your life? Any time you are exerting yourselves for it. Samuel said, they taught this only about the eighteen. Therefore, other than the eighteen even a lesser [court] may abolish. They objected, is there not the Sabbatical year? This is not of the eighteen items, and Rebbi Joḥanan (said it) 1:1, Notes 6–7 . and asked about it. Rebbi Krispedai 1:1, his name is Crispus. in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Rabban Gamliel and his court abolished the prohibitions of the first two terms, rabbinic interpretation infers from verses that also the preparation of fields or orchards for the new sowing or planting season, in summer and early fall, is forbidden in the months preceding New Year’s day of the Sabbatical. These terms are different for sowing and planting; they are referred to as “the two periods.” However, since the biblical commandment of the Sabbatical is intrinsically connected with that of the Jubilee, it cannot be in force when the Jubilee is not in force, i. e., if not all of Israel dwells on the ancestral land distributed by Joshua. Therefore during the Second Commonwealth the Sabbatical was a rabbinic institution. Rabban Gamliel (of Jabneh, the first Patriarch after the destruction of the Second Temple) decided that in the absence of the Temple the rabbinic institution of the Sabbatical should continue without extensions. While his Court was the highest authority in his time, he could not compete in standing with the Men of the Great Assembly who established the rules for the Second Commonwealth. . Rebbi (Jonathan) [Joḥanan] asked. Did we not state, “for no court may invalidate the words of another court unless it be greater in wisdom and numbers”? There came Rav Abun, Rav Jehudah in the name of Samuel: they taught this only about other [decrees] than the eighteen. Therefore, the eighteen even a greater one cannot abolish, because they fought for it with their lives. Rebbi Mana said, this makes it reasonable that it is not so; since this is a case of force it is invalid. They objected, is there not oil which is of the eighteen? And Rebbi (Jonathan) [Joḥanan] objected! Rav Cahana the son of Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Abba; Rebbi Aḥa bent it in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Oil, they abolished what was abolished. Naḥman, the son of Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥmani in the name of Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥmani: The five kinds of purification sacrifices which are left to die, if the Court decides to abolish, they may abolish 3:1 . A purification sacrifice is an obligation; it cannot be offered voluntarily nor can there be more than one sacrifice for one obligation. Also it is most holy; its sacred status cannot be abolished. Therefore the calf born to an animal dedicated as purification sacrifice, or a substitute for such an animal, or one whose owner had died, or a dedicated one which became too old to be sacrificed, or one which was lost and found later when it had developed a defect and the owner in the meantime had offered a substitute, are intrinsically holy but forbidden as sacrifices. The rule, classified in the Babli ( Bekhorot 16a , Temurah 18a ) as “tradition”, i. e., being part of the original institutions of post-exilic Judaism, possibly older, is treated here as rabbinic interpretation. . Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Ada said, that means that they are not sent to die but are used for voluntary sacrifices. But as far as sacrificing on the altar is concerned, no purification sacrifice destined to die may be sacrificed.

MISHNAH: The House of Shammai say, one does not soak ink, chemicals, or vetch, unless they will be soaked when it still is daylight; but the House of Hillel permit it. HALAKHAH: Mishnah: “The House of Shammai say, one does not soak ink, chemicals, or vetch,” etc. What is the reason of the House of Shammai? Six days you shall work and do all your deeds 20:9 . The argument is quoted in Tosephta 1:21 , Mekhilta dR. Simeon ben Yoḥai p. 149. . All your deeds , finish them by daylight. What is the reason of the House of Hillel? Six days you shall work on your works and on [the seventh] day 23:12 . . How do the House of Hillel explain the reason of the House of Shammai, six days you shall work and do all your deeds ? When they work with their hands. How do the House of Shammai explain the reason of the House of Hillel, six days you shall work on your works and on [the seventh] day ? Following what was stated p. 149. The Tosephta stated rules common to the Houses of Hillel and Shammai even if the reasons for permission or prohibition may be different for the Houses. It is clear from the Tosephta that the House of Shammai forbid soaking ink in water during the Sabbath only because nothing of it is usable when the Sabbath begins, while watering a garden or smoking out lice from a garment is useful even if done only for a short time. The Babli disagrees, 18a (Explanation of S. Liebermann.) , “One opens a water canal leading into a garden on Friday evening and it is continuously watered on the Sabbath. One puts ointment on an eye on Friday evening and it is continuously healing on the Sabbath. One puts a compress on a wound on Friday evening and it is continuously healing on the Sabbath. One puts burning incense under clothing on Friday evening and it is continuously smoked on the Sabbath. One puts sulfur under clothing on Friday evening and it is continuously sulfured on the Sabbath. One may not give wheat into a water mill on Friday evening unless it will be completely ground as long as it is daylight.” Rebbi Ḥaggai said, because it is making noise. Rebbi Yose said to him, this is fine if one holds with Rebbi Jehudah. But for the rabbis, just as they say because not every single drop was started, so they say here because not every grain kernel was started. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, because he is apt to forget and will push the peg. The House of Shammai put a question to the House of Hillel which they could not answer; the House of Hillel put a question to the House of Shammai which they could not answer. “The House of Hillel said to the House of Shammai, do you not agree with us that one may load the beam of the olive press and the round stone of the wine press? They did not find an answer.” Rebbi Zeˋira said, if I would not put my head between the lions I could give a reason. There, each drop already was dislocated; here what can you say? The House of Shammai put a question to the House of Hillel which they could not answer. “The House of Shammai said to the House of Hillel, do you not agree with us that one does not roast meat, or onions, or an egg, unless they be completely roasted when it is still daylight? They did not find an answer.” Rebbi Zeˋira said, if I would not put my head between the lions I could give a reason. There, onion, meat, or egg, usually are flipped; here, what can you say? Rebbi Yudan said, if they were roasted like Ben Derosai’s food. They forbade something which usually is flipped unless it be completely roasted as long as it is still day. Rebbi Mana said, it is not reasonable that it should be permitted. For they can say to them, how can you respond to us with something which ordinarily is completely roasted when it still is day about something which ordinarily cannot be completely soaked when it still is day?

MISHNAH: The House of Shammai say, one does not put bundles of flax into an oven unless they are steamed when it is still daylight , nor wool into a vat unless it may absorb the dye, but the House of Hillel permit it. HALAKHAH: Mishnah: “The House of Shammai say, one does not put bundles of flax into an oven,” etc. What profit does he have? Rebbi Abbahu said, for example these villagers who do not care.Rav Jehudah in the name of Samuel: Only if the vat was taken off. But if the vat was fixed, it is forbidden, since he will be afraid that his dye will have been absorbed and he will add water. Rebbi Samuel in the name of Rebbi Abbahu: The House of Hillel learn permitted work from forbidden work. Would it not be forbidden if he did it on the Sabbath? When he did similarly as long as it is still daytime it is permitted.

MISHNAH: The House of Shammai say, one does not set traps for wild animals, or birds, or fish unless they may be caught when it is still daylight, but the House of Hillel permit it. HALAKHAH: 3:2 (י); it is a commentary on the Mishnah there. The Genizah text is reasonably complete here (G). Mishnah: “The House of Shammai say, one does set traps for wild animals, or birds, of fish,” etc. Who informs? If the trap was sprung, it is certain that they were caught when it still was day. But if the trap was not sprung, it is certain that they were not caught when it still was day. And even if the trap was sprung, in worry one may say that they were not caught when it still was day 3:2 reads: “One may not take from traps set for game, birds, or fish on the eve of a holiday unless one know that it was caught before the onset of the holiday. It happened that a Gentile brought fish to Rabban Gamliel who said they are permitted but I do not want to accept from him.” The question arises how can one know that an animal was trapped unless one go there and take it out before the holiday. Does the first part of the Mishnah have any practical application? The answer is that by observation from afar one may determine what happened. The main subject of Tractate Beṣah is the requirement, based ostensibly on Ex. 16:5 , that on the Sabbath and holidays only food prepared beforehand may be consumed. Since cooking on the Sabbath is forbidden, there is no problem regarding Sabbath observation. For the holidays there first is the problem of extending a commandment given for the Sabbath to holidays and second the fact that cooking and other preparation of food is permitted ( Ex. 13:16 ). Therefore the application of the requirement of preparation can refer only to the accessibility of raw materials. If an animal is trapped before the onset of the holiday it is prepared in this sense and may be taken and turned into food on the holiday. Another question then is whether the extension of Ex. 16:5 to holidays is considered biblical (when cases of doubt have to be resolved restrictively) or rabbinic (when cases of doubt have to be resolved leniently). . Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, if it was set in a forest. You should know that it is so since we have stated “fish”. Are fish not there where they are found? Also here at a place where game and birds are found 24b , ascribed to the last generation of Tannaןm). They can be relied on only in situations where the probability of correctness is significantly larger than 50%. (Quoted by Tosaphot 17b s.v. אלא ). . Rebbi Ḥiyya in the name of Rebbi instituted that it should not happen and all later editions, the word לְהַל in the Leiden ms. (לְהָל in G) is read as להל׳, abbreviation of להלכה “as practice”. The evidence of G excludes this interpretation. The word is otherwise unknown in the rabbinic, Hebrew or Aramaic, vocabulary. It seems to be the same as Arabic لهلة which in Wehr’s Dictionary is described as “used in wishes contrary to what one expects to happen” or in Brelot “(discours) très faible”. R. Ḥiyya reluctantly formulated Rebbi’s ruling (or. R. Zeˋira Rav’s). The expression is not in Beṣah , but there seems to be no reason to delete it from the text. . They wanted to say, they are permitted the next day 24a )? . Rebbi Ḥizqiah and Rebbi Uziel the son of Rebbi Onias of Barat Hauran: They are really permitted. They wanted to say, its doubt made it permitted. Rebbi Ḥanina and Rebbi Jonathan both say, if in doubt whether it was prepared it is forbidden. But Rebbi Joḥanan said, in doubt whether it was prepared it is permitted. The Elder Rebbi Ḥiyya and Rebbi Simeon ben Rebbi, one said a Gentile needs preparation, the other said, a Gentile does not need preparation. We did not know who said this and who said that. From that Rav refrained from coming before the Elder Rebbi Ḥiyya who asked him, where have you been? He told him: a caravan passed by and I ate figs from them this implies that he said, a Gentile does not need preparation. A student of [Rebbi] Simai went to Antipatris; they brought him Morocco-plums and he ate. A student of Rebbi Joshua ben Levi went there; they brought him Morocco-plums and he did not eat. He came and told it to his teacher who said to him, this one follows the argument of Rebbi Simai, as Rebbi Simai said, a Gentile does not need preparation. Rebbi Abbahu in the name of Rebbi Joshua ben Levi: The red grapes in a vineyard are forbidden. Rav Huna in the name of Rav: The hard dates on palm leaves are permitted.

MISHNAH: They House of Shammai say, one does not sell to a Non-Jew, nor put a load on him unless he may reach a nearby destination, but the House of Hillel permit it. HALAKHAH: Mishnah: “They House of Shammai say, one sells to a Non-Jew,” etc. What means “a nearby destination”? It should be as Samuel said, for example as from Ḥuṭra to Nahardea; here it is the same points to the “lost” Yerushalmi (?) of Chapter 23:4 where the Mishnah uses the same term. . Some want to say, until he reaches his home. But some want to say, until he reaches his town. Rebbi Aqiba says, that he leaves the place of the door when the day becomes holy around him. Rebbi Joḥanan said, these are the words of Rebbi Yose: But Rebbi Aqiba comes to determine following the words of the House of Hillel. One does not give to a Gentile on condition that he leave. If he left, you do not have to interfere. One does not give to a dog on condition that he leave. If he left, you do not have to interfere in the Babli, 19a . . 1:1 (Notes 53–55 ), referring to Jewish craftsmen working for Gentile employers on their holidays. It was stated: Gentile workmen who were working for an Israel, in the Israel’s house it is forbidden, in their houses it is permitted. Rebbi Simeon ben Eleazar said, when has this been said? For contract work. But for one hired by the day it is forbidden. When has this been said, when it was cut from the ground, but as long as it is standing on the ground it is forbidden. In another town, in any case it is permitted. What means “in any case”? Whether cut from the ground or standing on the ground; whether a hireling or contract work. Rebbi Illa said, whether separated from the ground or connected to the ground, but only for contract work. Rebbi Simeon ben Barqana: ben Carsana. In the quote by Tosaphot 18a ( s.v. אין, 17b ): ben Cahana. in the name of Rebbi Aḥa: Concerning Sabbath, mourning, and idolatry, practice follows Rebbi Simeon ben Eleazar is quoted in Note 385 . The quote about mourning is a parallel baraita in Semaḥot 5:8 detailing the rules under which a craftsman in mourning may work. The statement is accepted as practice in Halakhot Gedolot and most medieval halakhic authors. . One sends letters through a Gentile neither on Friday nor on Thursday. The House of Shammai forbid even on Wednesday but the House of Hillel permit ( Hilkhot Šabbat § 146) and Or Zarua ( Hilkhot Šabbat §146) argue that the House of Hillel, of whom it is not specified what they permit, must permit to mail a letter even on Friday since if they simply negate the statement of the House of Shammai their position would be identical to that of the anonymous Tanna and should not have been mentioned separately. The same argument holds for the next paragraph. . They said about Rebbi Jose the Cohen that his handwriting never was found in the hand of a Gentile. One embarks on the ocean neither on Friday nor on Thursday. The House of Shammai forbid even on Wednesday but the House of Hillel permit 1 (both the Babli version). The reason given by North-African authors is that sea travel always is dangerous and there is a likelihood that the traveller will have to violate the Sabbath. Ashkenazic authors prefer to explain that people embarking shortly befor the Sabbath will be seasick on the Sabbath and unable to enjoy the day. The sentence about short trips which are permitted even on Friday supports the North-African authors. Sefer Ravan (§60) quotes a reading in the Yerushalmi in the name of his son-in-law R. Joel that the disagreement of the Houses of Hillel and Shammai is about Tuesday, not Wednesday. But in R. Joel’s text quoted by his son Ravia (§385) the text is as our Yerushalmi. In Pesaḥim 4:1 (30d l. 32) it is stated that R. Jehudah forbade all travel on the ocean. (He was a student of his father who in turn was a student of R. Eliezer who often followed the teachings of the House of Shammai.) S. Liebermann points out that while not much information can be drawn from the Genizah fragment of which at this point less than a third is legible in each line, it is clear that a sentence is missing in our Yerushalmi since there the permission to travel from Tyre to Sidon is quoted twice. . If it is not dangerous, as from Tyre to Sidon, it is permitted. One does not lay siege to a Gentile city within three days before the Sabbath. That is in a war of choice. But in a war of obligation even on the Sabbath, for so we find that Jericho was conquered only on a Sabbath, as it is written, so you shall act for six days 6:3 . , and it is written, on the Seventh Day you shall circle the city seven times 6:4 . The Seventh Day is interpreted as the Sabbath. . And it is written, until it fell 20:20 . Babli 19a ; Sifry Deut. #204,203; Tosephta Eruvin 3:7 . In the last quote, two sources attribute the argument to Shammai and one to Hillel. , even on the Sabbath.

MISHNAH: The House of Shammai say, one does not give hides to the tannery worker nor clothing to the Non-Jewish washer unless the work may be done when it is still daylight. In all cases, the House of Hillel permit as long as the sun still shines. Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel says, my father’s house used to give their white garments to a Non-Jewish washer three days before the Sabbath. They both agree that one may load the beam of the olive press and the round stone of the wine press. HALAKHAH: Mishnah: “One does not give hides to the tannery worker,” etc. How long? It should come like what Rebbi Joḥanan said in the name of Rebbi Onias, the time needed to walk four miles. And here, if he gave his clothing to the Gentile fuller and found him treating them on the Sabbath, it is forbidden. Rebbi Yudan said, he should tell him not to do it. Rebbi Yudan, the father of Rebbi Mattaniah said, that is, for goodwill. But for a fee, he looks after his work. “Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel says, in my father’s house they used,” etc. They mentioned only white, therefore not colored. Following our routine we infer that white garments are more difficult to wash than colored ones. “They both agree,” etc. Rebbi Samuel and Rebbi Yose ben Ḥanina both say, because every single drop was moved from its place. Rebbi Aḥa said, Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Ḥanina asked, may one touch the flow? The rabbis of Caesarea said, Rebbi Joḥanan and Rebbi Yose bar Ḥanina disagreed; Rebbi Joḥanan said it is forbidden; Rebbi Yose bar Ḥanina said, it is permitted. A baraita disagrees with Rebbi Yose bar Ḥanina: They both agree that one may not touch the flow quoted shows that this is R. Aqiba’s tradition, opposed by R. Ismael and R. Eleazar. .

MISHNAH: One does not roast meat, onions, or an egg, unless they be roasted when it still is daylight. One does not put bread dough into the oven when it gets dark nor pita on coals unless they form a crust. Rebbi Eliezer says, unless they form a crust at their bottoms. HALAKHAH: Mishnah: “One does not roast meat, onions, or an egg, unless they be roasted when it still is daylight,” etc. Rebbi Bun bar Cahana in the name of the rabbis: A dish which is fully cooked one may leave on a cooking stove which is not covered with ashes is a portable clay cooking stove, usually with two burners, which is heated with charcoal. If the coals are covered with ashes, one may leave the pot on the fire on the Sabbath since the heat is diminished and the coals will stop to burn. Babli 37b . . Rebbi Zeˋira asked: Meat, onion, and egg shrink and it is bad for them. This one is shrinking and it is good for it, and you say so? Maybe this was said only for hot water. Rebbi Samuel came, Rebbi Zeˋira asked: It is forbidden to leave hot water which was fully heated on a cooking stove which is not covered with ashes. Rebbi Bevai in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: A dish of beef which was cooked as Ben Derosai’s food one may return on a cooking stove covered with ashes. This comes like what Rebbi Aḥa said in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: One warns somebody who puts a pot on top of coals. When it will be cooked as Ben Derosai’s food it is forbidden. Rebbi Aḥa, Rebbi Tanḥum bar Ḥiyya in the name of the important Rebbi Simeon: Hot water which was fully heated one may return on a cooking stove which is not covered with ashes. Rebbi Zeˋira asked: To leave on is forbidden but to return is permitted? Maybe it was only said for the Passover sacrifice. There Rebbi Aḥa in the name of the important Rebbi Simeon: The Passover sacrifice. Since it is fully roasted there is no cooking; the only problem is that one might be tempted to tend to the coals, which would be a desecration of the Sabbath. But since the Passover is celebrated in a group, one may assume that the members of the group would prevent anybody from stirring the coals. which was fully roasted one may return on a cooking stove which is not covered with ashes. “One does not put bread dough into the oven.” Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa in the name of Rebbi Assi: Women are more careful with bread than with dishes. What is the difference between bread and dish? A dish one usually eats hot, bread one usually does not eat hot. There, they say, hot bread is accompanied by fever. A wasp, cold; a scorpion, hot. He who switches is in danger 28b ), the sting of a scorpion by heat. . Rebbi Eliezer agrees that the shew-bread is not called bread until it develops a crust in the oven.

MISHNAH: One hangs the Passover lamb into the oven when it gets dark. One starts a fire at the fire place in the heating chamber, but outside the Temple only if the fire has started burning on most of the logs 35:3 ) one has to be sure that the fire in the fireplace does not need human intervention. This means that all logs must have started burning. . Rebbi Jehudah says, on charcoal any amount. HALAKHAH: Mishnah: “One hangs the Passover lamb into the oven,” etc. There 5:10 . In contrast to the Mishnah here, this speaks of the case that the 14th of Nisan is a Sabbath; roasting the sacrifice may start only at nightfall, after the end of the Sabbath. , we have stated: “At nightfall they went out and roasted their Passover sacrifices.” And you are saying so? Rebbi Yose said, groups are careful 3:2 Note 36; Babli 20a , Eruvin 106a, Pesaḥim 85a . . The Passover sacrifice you return whole, you do not return it carved. Rebbi Samuel in the name of Rebbi Zeˋira: Because of its invalidity. Rebbi Yose said, this is correct. You cannot eat it for it is written 12:9 . , do not eat from it raw. You cannot roast it for he should not be roasting it on the Sabbath. If you are telling him that he may do it, he will not roast it completely when it still is daylight. Since you tell him that it is prohibited, he will roast it completely when it is still daylight. Rebbi Eleazar ben Rebbi Yose asked, if he roasted it whole and carved it up, may he go back and heat it? Rebbi Zeˋira, Rav Jehudah in the name of Rav: Four pyres are in a minimal amount. A pyre of pressed-out olives, a pyre of manure, a pyre of fat, a pyre of pits are in a minimal amount. Rebbi Abba in the name of Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Ashi: A willow basket full of pits is in a minimal amount. Rebbi Abba in the name of Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Ashi: A willow basket full of pits, if they are collection, by their majority; if they are distributed, by the majority of each heap. Do they disagree? Here fat ones, there lean ones. Rebbi Yose in the name of Rav Jeremiah, Rebbi Ḥananiah bent it in the name of Rav: Cuttings from date palms below and wood on top, when the fire appears between them it is permitted. Rebbi Ḥelbo in the name of Rav Huna: A log and most of it by the majority of its circumference. What means by the majority of its circumference? At one place or at most of its entire surface area? It was found stated: Until it became unfit for work. So is the Mishnah: Also on charcoals any amount.
