Text Excerpt

בין קשור בין שאינו קשור, והוא שמתוקן.

Both if it is tied and if it is not tied it is permitted, and that is only if it is prepared for this purpose beforehand.

אמר ליה רבי ירמיה, ולימא מר: בין תלוי ובין שאינו תלוי, והוא שקשור! דאמר רבה בר בר חנה אמר רבי יוחנן: כמחלוקת כאן, כך מחלוקת בנגר הנגרר. דתנן: נגר הנגרר, נועלין בו במקדש, אבל לא במדינה. והמונח, כאן וכאן, אסור. רבי יהודה אומר: המונח במקדש והנגרר במדינה.

R' Yirmeya said to R' Abba: And let the Master say it in this way: Both if it is hanging and if it is not hanging, and that is only if it is tied, as Rabba bar bar Ḥana said that R' Yoḥanan said: Like the dispute here with regard to the window shutter, so too is the dispute with regard to a bolt that was dragged, which refers to a pole that was stuck through a hole in the door and into the ground in order to hold the door in place. As we learned in a Mishnah: With regard to a bolt that is dragged, which is not a part of the door itself but is attached to it and is dragged on the ground, one locks with it in the Temple on Shabbat, because the rabbinic decrees are not in effect in the Temple, but not in the rest of the country outside the Temple. And a bolt that is placed alongside the door and not attached, here, in the Temple, and there, outside the Temple, it is prohibited to lock with it on Shabbat. R' Yehuda says: One that was placed is permitted in the Temple and one that is dragged is permitted even in the rest of the country.

ותניא: איזהו נגר הנגרר שנועלין בו במקדש אבל לא במדינה? כל שקשור ותלוי וראשו מגיע לארץ. רבי יהודה אומר: זה אף במדינה מותר. אלא איזהו שבמדינה אסור ⁠— כל שאינו לא קשור ולא תלוי, ושומטו ומניחו בקרן זוית.

And it was taught in a baraita: What is a bolt that is dragged that one locks with it in the Temple but not in the rest of the country? Any bolt that is tied and hangs from the door and one of its edges reaches the ground. R' Yehuda says: That is permitted even in the rest of the country. Rather, what is prohibited in the rest of the country? Any bolt that is neither tied nor hung, and one removes it from the door and places it in a corner.
