Text Excerpt

אמר ליה: כאותן של בית אביך.

R' Abba bar Kahana said to him: They are like those from your father’s house, which are large (Tosafot).

ואמר רבי אבא בר כהנא אמר רבי חנינא: קרונות של בית רבי מותר לטלטלן בשבת. אמר ליה רבי זירא: בניטלין באדם אחד או בשני בני אדם? אמר ליה: כאותן של בית אביך.

And R' Abba bar Kahana said that R' Ḥanina said: The sedan chairs of the house of R' Yehuda HaNasi may be moved on Shabbat. R' Zeira said to R' Abba bar Kahana: Are you referring to sedan chairs that can be moved by one person or those that can be only moved by two people? He said to him: They are like those from your father’s house.

ואמר רבי אבא בר כהנא: התיר להם רבי חנינא לבית רבי לשתות יין בקרונות של גוי, בחותם אחד, ולא ידענא אי משום דסבר לה כרבי אליעזר, אי משום אימתא דבי נשיאה.

And R' Abba bar Kahana said: R' Ḥanina permitted the members of the household of R' Yehuda HaNasi to drink wine transported in a non-Jew’s wagons even though the wine was sealed only with one seal. He was not concerned that perhaps the non-Jew may have opened the jug and poured wine libations to idolatry from it or touched it, which would prohibit drinking it. R' Abba bar Kahana adds: And I do not know if that is because R' Ḥanina holds in accordance with the opinion of R' Eliezer, who permits drinking wine from a non-Jew that was protected by a single seal, or if it was because the non-Jew would not dare to open these specific casks due fear of the household of the Nasi, but in general R' Ḥanina prohibited drinking wine protected by a single seal.

מתני׳ גוי שהדליק את הנר ⁠— משתמש לאורו ישראל. ואם בשביל ישראל ⁠— אסור. מילא מים להשקות בהמתו ⁠— משקה אחריו ישראל, ואם בשביל ישראל ⁠— אסור. עשה גוי כבש לירד בו ⁠— יורד אחריו ישראל, ואם בשביל ישראל ⁠— אסור. מעשה ברבן גמליאל וזקנים שהיו באין בספינה ועשה גוי כבש לירד בו, וירדו בו רבן גמליאל וזקנים.

Mishnah: If a non-Jew kindled a lamp on Shabbat for his own purposes, a Jew also uses its light; and if the non-Jew kindled it for a Jew, the rabbis prohibited to utilize its light. Similarly, if a non-Jew drew water from a well in the public domain to give his animal to drink, a Jew gives his own animal to drink after him from the same water; and if he drew the water initially for the benefit of a Jew, it is prohibited for a Jew to give his animal to drink from that water. Similarly, if a non-Jew made a ramp on Shabbat to disembark from a ship, a Jew disembarks after him; and if he made the ramp for a Jew, it is prohibited. There was an incident in which Rabban Gamliel and the Elders were traveling on a ship and a non-Jew made a ramp on Shabbat in order to disembark from the ship on it; and Rabban Gamliel and the Elders disembarked on it as well.
