MISHNAH: One removes even four or five baskets of straw or of grain because of guests or because of obstruction of the House of Study, but not the storehouse. . One removes pure heave, and demay . Since one may give demay to the poor, it is food even though its consumption is forbidden to the well-to-do and it is forbidden to separate tithes on the Sabbath (Mishnah 2:7). , and First Tithe of which its heave was taken, and Second Tithe are prohibited for all usufruct but except for sacrificial animals they may be redeemed and will regain profane status after redemption. While in a state of holiness they are muqṣeh on the Sabbath. or sancta which were redeemed, and dry lupines because it is food of the poor; but not ṭevel , nor First Tithe whose heave was not taken, nor Second Tithe and sancta which were not redeemed, nor serpentary dracunculus L . Arukh : Arum Colocasia L . , nor mustard seed. Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel permits serpentary because it is food of ravens. HALAKHAH: Rebbi Eleazar objected, did we not state “bundles of straw”? Is straw not as if dispersed? “One removes even four or five baskets,” etc. Rebbi Zeˋira asked Rebbi Joshiah, what is the measure of baskets? He told him, let us infer the hidden from the explicit since we have stated there 3:2. : “The contributions for the Temple were removed in three baskets of three seah each.” There, we have stated: “one who brings out wine to mix a cup,” etc. Rebbi Zeˋira asked Rebbi Joshiah, what is the measure of cups? He told him, let us infer the hidden from the explicit since Rebbi Ḥiyya stated 10:1 . , the Four Cups of Passover add up to an Italic quartarius of wine. May one remove from the storehouse in this kind? Let us hear from the following: They are of one opinion that one may not touch the storehouse but one may make a path to enter and leave similar to one mentioned in the Babli 127a involving R. Aḥa and R. Simeon. Everybody agrees that even if the baskets in the storehouse are muqṣeh one may push them aside with his foot. . There are Tannaim who state, one moves dema ˋ is produce containing both profane produce and heave. . There are Tannaim who state, one does not move. Rebbi Eleazar said, he who said that one moves, if the heave was pure; but he who said that one does not move. , if the heave was impure. Or about one where there was enough lift 5:1). In this case even if the heave was impure the produce remains food and may be moved on the Sabbath; but if the amount of impure heave was larger the situation cannot be remedied, and the produce is not food. , but not about one where there was not enough lift. Who said that one moves? Rebbi Eliezer, as we have stated: “Rebbi Eliezer said, the seah which fell in is the seah which came up 5:2. The problem is that it is forbidden to separate heave on the Sabbath (Mishnah 2:7). For R. Eliezer the heave was separated; one simply has to take it out; there is no problem on the Sabbath. For the Sages opposing him the heave was lost in the profane produce; one has to take new heave. Since this is forbidden on the Sabbath the mixture temporarily is not food and cannot be moved on the Sabbath. . 7:5 (Notes79–95, ל ). Rebbi , R. Isaac bar Eleazar. Eleazar said, a person can say on a Friday, this shall be heave tomorrow he still contaminates holy things but not profane food until the next sundown ( Lev . 22:7 ). Hence, he must keep his food in profane state until nightfall. But at nightfall it will be Sabbath and he will not be permitted to change the status of food and separate heave and tithes. He must make a declaration on Friday to separate heave on the Sabbath automatically. , but nobody can say on the Sabbath, this shall be heave tomorrow. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, nobody can say on a Friday, this shall be heave tomorrow. A Mishnah disagrees with Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun: Yom 4:4. The exact text of the Mishnah reads: “If a vessel which was immersed that day {and will be pure only after sundown} was filled from an amphora with ṭevel tithe, if he said that its contents should be heave of the tithe after nightfall, then this is heave of the tithe. If he said that it should be eruv , he did not say anything.” Tithe can be ṭevel only if the heave of the tithe was not taken; hence, ‘heave’ in our text should always mean ‘heave of the tithe” as in the Mishnah. “If a vessel, lagaena , lagona , l agoena , - ae , f. “large earthen vessel with neck and handles; flask, bottle”. was immersed that day and somebody filled it from an amphora with ṭevel tithe, if he said, its contents should be heave [of the tithe] tomorrow, i. e., after nightfall, then this is heave. If he said, that should be eruv to turn a common courtyard or dead-end street into a private domain or one to move the Sabbath boundary. The eruv must be deposited on Friday afternoon and be at the right spot at sundown, so that its owner can acquire the Sabbath rest at that spot. But in our case, at sundown the wine is still ṭevel; since it cannot be eaten it is not food, and the eruv is invalid. , he did not say anything.” Explain it if he transgressed. But Rebbi Ḥiyya stated: “He says, in which R. Ḥiyya presents the text of the declaration to be recited in the case considered by R. Eleazar. R. Ḥiyya unconditionally permits the declaration. ” and you say, if he transgressed? Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun retracted that. What is to be done? “From before I shall separate it.” Think about it, if it was pure heave, “from before I shall eat it.” Think about it, if it was impure heave, “from before I shall deposit it in a corner.” It was stated: One may move both pure and impure heave. Rebbi Zeˋira said, it means that one is permitted to move ṭevel that has a condition on it edible. In that case, the ṭevel is food and certainly may be moved on the Sabbath. on the Sabbath. What does he do 7:8 or to the declaration implied by R. Eleazar, viz ., that a person may say on Friday that a certain part of food shall become heave or heave of the tithe on the Sabbath without actually separating heave from profane food on Friday. ? He thinks about a part of it and eats the rest. It was stated: “One may move mustard seed because it is pigeon feed, and rue 3:6 ). because it is food for gazelles, and glass because it is food for ostriches. Rebbi Nathan said, then one should be able to move shoots since elephants eat them either as food or as feed. ”. “Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel permits serpentary because it is food of ravens.” Where do we hold? If he keeps a certain kind and that kind is sold on the market, everybody agrees that it is permitted. If he does not keep a certain kind and that kind is not sold on the market, everybody agrees that it is prohibited. But we must hold that he keeps a certain kind and that kind is not sold on the market. The rabbis said, since that kind is not sold on the market, it is as if he did not keep it. Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel said, since he keeps that kind it is as if that kind were sold on the market. Rebbi Zeˋira said, this only follows Rebbi Ḥanina, as Rebbi Ḥanina said, we were ascending with Rebbi to the Hot Springs of Gadara when he said to us, choose smooth stones for yourselves; then you are permitted to move them tomorrow. Rebbi Yose said, there is a difference here because it is like a chair.

MISHNAH: One moves bundles of straw, and bundles of wood, and bundles of shoots if they were prepared as animal feed; otherwise one does not move them. . One turns over a basket before the chicks that they may climb up and down. . A chicken which escaped one may push until it re-enters. One helps calves and fillies to walk in the public domain and a woman may help her son to walk. Rebbi Jehudah said, when? If he lifts one foot and puts the other one down but if he draws them it is forbidden. HALAKHAH: A Mishnah disagrees with him who said, anything which is specifically intended for something prohibited is prohibited, as we have stated: “If there is a stone on top of an amphora he tilts it on its side and it falls down.” Rebbi Abba in the name of Rav Ḥiyya bar Ashi: He explained this about one who forgot. A Mishnah disagrees with him who said, anything which is specifically intended for something prohibited is prohibited, as we have stated: “one turns a basket upside down in front of the chicks that they may climb up and down.” And it was stated about this, when they climbed on it by themselves it is forbidden to move it. Rebbi Abun bar Ḥiyya said before Rebbi Zeˋira, explain it if it is disgusting. He told him, did not Rebbi Hoshaia state, even a seah, even a three-qab. Can you say that seah and three-qab are disgusting?

MISHNAH: One does not use midwifery for animals on a holiday but one helps. One helps a woman in childbirth on the Sabbath, and calls a midwife for her from place to place, and desecrates the Sabbath for her, and ties the umbilical cord; Rebbi Yose says, also one cuts it. All that is necessary for circumcision one does on the Sabbath. HALAKHAH: “One does not use midwifery for animals,” etc. What is help? “He brings wine and blows it into his nostrils, and puts his hand down and receives him, and moves her teats and puts in his mouth. Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel says, also one makes the animal love on a holiday. How does one do that? One puts a block of salt on her belly and she wants to nurse her son.” “And one calls a midwife for her from place to place.” As what we have stated there 2:5 . : “Not only these but even a midwife who comes to assist at a birth.” “And desecrates the Sabbath for her.” Samuel says, one makes a bonfire for her even at the summer solstice. “And ties the umbilical cord.” As in the following: The slave girl of Bar Qappara expected to give birth on a Sabbath. She came and asked her master, who told her to go and ask the midwife. She said, there is no midwife. He said, go and follow your usage; she said, there is no usage. He said, go and cut it. This is like Rebbi Yose. So is the Mishnah: “Everything that is necessary for a woman in childbirth one does on the Sabbath.” It was stated: “Concerning the placenta on the Sabbath, the rich women hide it in oil, the poor ones hide it in straw and sand. Both hide it in the earth, to give a pledge to Earth.”
