but

<<on Yom Tov

<<it is prohibited,

<<for at times

<<are found

<<the fat ones

<<lean

<<and the lean ones

<<fat,

<<and he will be moving

<<something

<<that is not

<<fit for him.

<<Alternatively,

<<at times

<<are found

<<all of them

<<lean,

<<and he leaves them,

<<and he will come

<<to refrain

<<from the rejoicing of

<<Yom Tov.

MISHNAH:

<<If he designated

<<black ones

<<and found

<<white ones;

<<white ones

<<and found

<<black ones;

<<two

<<and found

<<three —

<<they are prohibited.

<<Three

<<and found

<<two —

<<they are permitted.

Inside

<<the nest

<<and found [them]

<<in front of

<<the nest —

<<they are prohibited;

<<and if

<<there are not

<<there

<<but

<<them,

<<these

<<are permitted.

GEMARA:

<<Obviously!

<<Rabba said:

<<here

<<with what

<<are we dealing?

<<Such as

<<where he designated

<<black ones

<<and white ones,

<<and he rose early

<<and found

<<black ones

<<in the place of

<<white ones

<<and white ones

<<in the place of

<<black ones.

<<Lest you say:

<<these

<<are the same ones

<<and they switched places —

<<it teaches us:

<<those

<<went

<<away,

<<and these

<<others

<<are.

Shall we say

<<it supports

<<Rabbi Chanina?

<<For Rabbi Chanina said:

<<[between] a majority

<<and proximity,

<<follow

<<the majority!

As said

<<Abaye:

<<with a board;

<<here

<<too,

<<with a board.

‘Two

<<and found

<<three —

<<they are prohibited.’

<<Whichever way you look at it:

<<if

<<others

<<they are,

<<then

<<others

<<they are;

<<and if

<<not

<<others

<<they are,

<<then

<<there is

<<one

<<mixed

<<among them.

‘Three

<<and found

<<two —

<<they are permitted.’

<<What is the reason?

<<These

<<are the same ones,

<<and one

<<of them

<<went

<<away.

Shall we say

<<our Mishnah

<<Rebbi

<<it is,

<<and not

<<the Rabbis?

<<As it is taught:

<<if he placed

<<a maneh

<<and found

<<two hundred [zuz] —

<<non-sacred money

<<and second tithe

<<are mixed

<<one

<<with the other —

<<the words of

<<Rebbi.

<<And the Sages

<<say:

<<all of it is

<<non-sacred.

If he placed

<<two hundred

<<and found

<<a maneh —

<<one maneh

<<remains in place

<<and one maneh

<<was taken —

<<the words of

<<Rebbi.

<<And the Sages

<<say:

<<all of it is

<<non-sacred!

You may even say

<<the Rabbis;

<<for

<<it was stated

<<about it:

<<Rabbi Yochanan

<<and Rabbi Elazar

<<say

<<both:

<<different are

<<young birds,

<<since

<<they tend

<<to hop about.

And why do I need

<<to answer

<<about it:

<<different are

<<young birds,

<<since

<<they tend

<<to hop about?

<<But

<<it was stated

<<about

<<that [Baraisa]

<<[a dispute] of Rabbi Yochanan

<<and Rabbi Elazar:

<<one

<<said:

<<with two

<<purses

<<there is a dispute,

<<but

<<with a purse

<<one,

<<all agree

<<it is non-sacred;

<<and one

<<said:

<<with a purse

<<one

<<there is a dispute,

<<but

<<with two

<<purses,

<<all agree:

<<one maneh

<<remains in place

<<and one maneh

<<was taken.

Granted,

<<according to the one who said

<<with two

<<purses

<<there is a dispute —

<<that is why

<<it was necessary

<<to answer

<<here:

<<different are

<<young birds,

<<since

<<they tend

<<to hop about.

<<But

<<according to the one who said

<<with a purse

<<one

<<there is a dispute,

<<but

<<with two

<<purses,

<<all agree:

<<one maneh

<<remains in place

<<and one maneh

<<was taken —

<<now

<<why do I need

<<to answer

<<about it?

<<Why,

<<you said

<<with two

<<purses

<<they do not

<<disagree!

Rav Ashi said:

<<here

<<with young birds

<<that are tied

<<and purses

<<that are tied

<<we are dealing.

<<Young birds

<<pull away

<<from each other;

<<purses

<<do not

<<pull away

<<from each other.

And Rebbi

<<can say

<<to you:

<<purses

<<too —

<<at times
