regarding

<<Yom Tov,

<<where taught anonymously

<<for us

<<the tanna

<<like Rabbi Yehuda,

<<as we learned:

<<one may not

<<split

<<wood

<<from

<<the beams [set aside for building],

<<nor

<<from

<<a beam

<<that broke

<<on Yom Tov —

<<he establishes it

<<as Beis Hillel

<<according to Rabbi Yehuda.

Now,

<<who

<<set down anonymously

<<our Mishnah?

<<Rebbi.

<<What is different

<<regarding Shabbos,

<<that he taught anonymously

<<for us

<<like Rabbi Shimon,

<<and what is different

<<regarding Yom Tov,

<<that he taught anonymously

<<for us

<<like Rabbi Yehuda?

They say:

<<Shabbos,

<<which is stringent,

<<and [people] will not come

<<to treat it lightly —

<<he taught anonymously

<<for us

<<like Rabbi Shimon,

<<who is lenient;

<<Yom Tov,

<<which is less severe,

<<and [people] will come

<<to treat it lightly —

<<he taught anonymously

<<for us

<<like Rabbi Yehuda,

<<who is stringent.

With what

<<did you establish it?

<<With a hen

<<that stands

<<to raise

<<eggs,

<<and because of

<<muktzeh.

<<If so,

<<rather than disagreeing

<<about an egg,

<<let them disagree

<<about a hen!

To inform you of

<<the strength of

<<Beis Shammai,

<<that nolad

<<they permit.

But let them disagree

<<about a hen,

<<to inform you of

<<the strength of

<<Beis Hillel,

<<that muktzeh

<<they prohibit!

<<And if you say

<<the strength of

<<a permission

<<is preferable [to teach],

<<then let them disagree

<<about both:

a hen

<<that stands

<<to raise

<<eggs —

<<it

<<and its egg —

<<Beis Shammai

<<say:

<<it may be eaten;

<<and Beis Hillel

<<say:

<<it may not

<<be eaten.

Rather,

<<Rabba said:

<<actually,

<<with a hen

<<that stands

<<for eating,

<<and with a Yom Tov

<<that occurs

<<to be

<<after

<<Shabbos

<<are we dealing,

<<and because of

<<preparation.

And holds

<<Rabba:

<<every

<<egg

<<that is laid

<<today

<<from yesterday

<<was completed.

And Rabba

<<follows his reasoning,

<<for Rabba said:

<<what is

<<that which is written:

<<‘and it shall be

<<on the day

<<the sixth

<<that they shall prepare

<<that which

<<they bring’?

<<A weekday

<<prepares

<<for Shabbos,

<<and a weekday

<<prepares

<<for Yom Tov;

<<but not

<<does Yom Tov

<<prepare

<<for Shabbos,

<<nor

<<does Shabbos

<<prepare

<<for Yom Tov.

Abaye said to him:

<<Rather,

<<if so,

<<a Yom Tov

<<in general

<<should be permitted!

<<A decree

<<because of

<<a Yom Tov

<<after

<<Shabbos.

<<A Shabbos

<<in general

<<should be permitted!

<<A decree

<<because of

<<a Shabbos

<<after

<<Yom Tov.

And do

<<we decree?

<<But it is taught:

<<one who slaughters

<<a hen

<<and found

<<in it

<<eggs

<<fully formed —

<<they are permitted

<<to eat them

<<on Yom Tov.

<<And if

<<it were so,

<<let us decree

<<because of

<<those

<<that are laid

<<on their day!

He said to him:

<<eggs

<<fully formed

<<in the innards of

<<their mother

<<a matter

<<that does not

<<commonly occur

<<is it,

<<and a matter

<<that does not

<<commonly occur,

<<not

<<did decree

<<about it

<<the Rabbis.

Rav Yosef

<<said:

<<it is a decree

<<because of

<<fruits

<<that fall [from the tree].

Abaye said to him:

<<fruits

<<that fall —

<<the reason

<<is what?
