Text Excerpt
״גראינין״, או ״גרעינין״? אמר רבא בר עולא: ״ונגרע מערכך״.
In the Mishnah at the end of the previous chapter we learned that the measure that determines liability for carrying out foods is calculated without their seeds [garinin]. Is the correct version garinin with an alef or garinin with an ayin? Rava bar Ulla said: It is with an ayin, since it stems from the same root as: “And it should be subtracted [venigra with an ayin] from your valuation” (Leviticus 27:18).
איבעיא להו: ״אוממות״, או ״עוממות״? אמר רב יצחק בר אבדימי: ״ארזים לא עממהו בגן אלהים״.
A dilemma was raised before the rabbis: Do we describe dimming coals as omemot with an alef or omemot with an ayin? Rav Yitzḥak bar Avdimi said: It is written with an ayin, as it is stated: “The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it [amamuhu with an ayin]” (Ezekiel 31:8).
איבעיא להו: ״מאמצין״ תנן, או ״מעמצין״. אמר רבי חייא בר אבא אמר רבי יוחנן: ״ועצם עיניו מראות ברע״.
A dilemma was raised before the rabbis: With regard to closing the eyes of the dead, did we learn in the Mishnah me’amtzin with an alef, or me’amtzin with an ayin? R' Ḥiyya bar Abba said that R' Yoḥanan said: It is written with an ayin as it is stated: “And closes [ve’otzem with an ayin] his eyes from seeing evil” (Isaiah 33:15).
תנו רבנן: המוציא חלב של בהמה כדי גמיאה. חלב של אשה ולובן של ביצה — כדי ליתן במשיפא של קילור. [קילור] כדי לשוף במים. בעי רב אשי: כדי שיפה, או כדי אחיזה ושיפה? תיקו.
With regard to carrying out milk, A baraita states: One who carries out the milk of an animal on Shabbat is liable only for a measure equivalent to that which is swallowed in one gulp. The measure that determines liability for carrying out a woman’s milk and the white of an egg is equivalent to that which is used to place on the part of an eye bandage upon which the ointment is placed directly on the wound. And the aforementioned eye bandage must be sufficiently large to use it to rub both his eyes with water. Rav Ashi raised a dilemma: Is the measure that determines liability for the bandage equivalent to that with which water can be rubbed on both eyes, or is it equivalent to that which can be held and rubbed? Is the part of the bandage held in his hand when applying the bandage to his eyes also taken into account? No resolution was found for this dilemma. Therefore, let it stand unresolved.
