on Yom Tov,

<<Rabbi Shimon

<<says:

<<is not

<<this

<<of

<<what is prepared.

<<And they agree

<<that if

<<it was born

<<and its blemish

<<with it,

<<that this is

<<of

<<what is prepared.

Expounded

<<Rabba bar Rav Huna:

<<if it was born

<<and its blemish

<<with it,

<<one may examine

<<it

<<on Yom Tov

<<at the outset.

<<Rav Nachman said to him:

<<Father

<<taught:

<<if

<<he transgressed

<<and examined it,

<<it is examined;

<<and you

<<say

<<one may examine

<<it

<<at the outset!

Abaye said:

<<in accordance with

<<Rabba bar Rav Huna

<<it stands to reason,

<<since it teaches

<<three

<<clauses:

<<if there arose

<<in it

<<a blemish

<<on the eve of Yom Tov,

<<one may not

<<examine

<<it

<<on Yom Tov —

<<at the outset

<<it is

<<that not;

<<but

<<after the fact

<<it is fine.

if there arose

<<in it

<<a blemish

<<on Yom Tov,

<<Rabbi Shimon

<<says:

<<is not

<<this

<<of

<<what is prepared —

<<that even

<<after the fact

<<also

<<not.

<<And then

<<it teaches:

<<and they agree

<<that if

<<it was born

<<and its blemish

<<with it,

<<that this is

<<of

<<what is prepared —

<<that even

<<at the outset

<<also.

But

<<when

<<came

<<Rav Oshaya,

<<he came

<<and brought

<<a Baraisa

<<in his hand:

<<whether

<<there arose

<<in it

<<a blemish

<<on the eve of Yom Tov,

<<or

<<there arose

<<in it

<<a blemish

<<on Yom Tov,

<<the Sages

<<say:

<<is not

<<this

<<of

<<what is prepared.

But then

<<it is difficult:

<<that one!

<<That one —

<<Adda bar Ukmei

<<is it,

<<who garbles

<<and teaches.

Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak said:

<<our Mishnah

<<also

<<is precise [so].

<<For it teaches:

<<Rabbi Shimon

<<says:

<<any

<<that is not

<<its blemish

<<recognizable

<<from the eve of Yom Tov,

<<is not

<<this

<<of

<<what is prepared.

<<What is

<<“not

<<its blemish

<<recognizable”?

<<If you say

<<that is not

<<its blemish

<<recognizable

<<at all,

<<it is obvious;

<<is it necessary to say?

Rather,

<<that it was not

<<shown

<<to a Sage

<<on the eve of Yom Tov,

<<whether

<<a permanent blemish

<<or

<<a temporary blemish.

<<It teaches

<<at any rate:

<<is not

<<this

<<of

<<what is prepared.

<<Learn from it.

Asked

<<Hillel

<<of Rava:

<<is there

<<muktzeh

<<for half a Shabbos,

<<or

<<is there not

<<muktzeh

<<for half a Shabbos?

<<What are the circumstances?

<<If

<<it was fit

<<at twilight,

<<it was fit;

<<if

<<it was not

<<fit,

<<it was not

<<fit!

It is necessary only

<<where it was fit,

<<and then

<<was set aside,

<<and then

<<became fit.

<<What [is the law]?

<<He said to him:

<<there is

<<muktzeh.

He raised an objection to him:

<<and they agree

<<that if

<<it was born

<<and its blemish

<<with it,

<<that this is

<<of

<<what is prepared.

<<But why?

<<Let us say:

<<this

<<firstborn

<<originally

<<was

<<fit

<<by virtue of

<<its mother;

<<once it was born,

<<it was set aside;

<<he showed it

<<to a Sage,

<<it became permitted!

Abaye said,

<<and some say

<<Rav Safra:

<<for example

<<where sit

<<judges

<<there.

Some say:

<<he said to him:

<<there is not

<<muktzeh

<<for half a Shabbos.

<<Let us say

<<this supports him:

<<and they agree

<<that if

<<it was born

<<and its blemish

<<with it,

<<that this is

<<of

<<what is prepared.

<<And here

<<a firstborn

<<originally

<<was

<<fit

<<by virtue of

<<its mother;

<<once it was born,

<<it was set aside;

<<he showed it

<<to a Sage,

<<it became permitted.

Abaye said,

<<and some say

<<Rav Safra:

<<for example

<<where sit

<<judges

<<there.

Come and hear:

<<if he was

<<eating

<<grapes,

<<and left over,

<<and brought them up

<<to the roof

<<to make

<<from them

<<raisins;

<<figs,

<<and left over,

<<and brought them up

<<to the roof

<<to make

<<from them

<<dried figs —

<<he may not

<<eat

<<from them

<<until

<<he designates [them]

<<while it was still day [before Yom Tov].

<<And likewise

<<you

<<find

<<with peaches

<<and quinces

<<and with other

<<kinds of

<<fruit.

What are the circumstances?

<<If

<<they are fit,

<<why does he need

<<designation?

<<If

<<they are not

<<fit,

<<when

<<he designates them,

<<what does it accomplish?!

And if you say

<<that he does not

<<know

<<whether

<<they are fit

<<or

<<not

<<fit —

<<but didn't Rav Kahana say:

<<muktzeh

<<that dried,

<<and do not

<<the owners

<<know

<<of it,

<<is permitted.

Is it not rather

<<that they were fit,

<<and were set aside,

<<and then

<<became fit?

<<And if

<<you say

<<there is not

<<muktzeh,

<<why do they need

<<designation?

<<Rather,

<<what —

<<there is

<<muktzeh?

<<When

<<he designates them,

<<what does it accomplish?!

It is necessary only

<<where they are fit

<<and not

<<fit —

<<that there are

<<people

<<who eat [them],

<<and there are

<<people

<<who do not

<<eat [them].

<<If he designated,

<<he revealed

<<his mind;

<<if not

<<designated,

<<he did not

<<reveal

<<his mind.

Rabbi Zeira said:

<<Come and hear

<<from beans

<<and lentils,

<<for

<<beans

<<and lentils

<<originally

<<are fit

<<to chew [raw];

<<he threw them

<<into a pot,

<<they were set aside;
