He is the one who said [it]

<<like this tanna,

<<as it is taught:

<<seals

<<attached to the ground —

<<he may untie,

<<but

<<not

<<unravel

<<nor

<<cut;

<<whether Shabbos

<<or Yom Tov.

<<And those on a vessel —

<<on Shabbos

<<he may untie,

<<but

<<not

<<unravel

<<nor

<<cut;

<<on Yom Tov

<<he may untie

<<and unravel

<<and cut.

You have resolved

<<for yourself

<<the first clause;

<<but

<<the latter clause

<<is difficult!

This —

<<whose [view] is it?

<<Rabbi Nechemya

<<it is,

<<who said:

<<all vessels

<<are not

<<moved

<<except

<<for the purpose of

<<their use.

If

<<Rabbi Nechemya,

<<why specifically

<<Shabbos?

<<Even

<<Yom Tov

<<as well!

<<And if you say

<<he distinguishes

<<— Rabbi Nechemya —

<<between

<<a rabbinic prohibition of

<<Shabbos

<<and a rabbinic prohibition of

<<Yom Tov,

<<but does

<<he distinguish?

But isn't it taught

<<in one [Baraisa]:

<<one may kindle

<<with vessels,

<<but one may not

<<kindle

<<with fragments of

<<vessels;

<<and it is taught

<<in another:

<<one may kindle

<<both

<<with vessels

<<and

<<with fragments of

<<vessels;

<<and it is taught

<<in another:

<<one may not

<<kindle

<<neither

<<with vessels

<<nor

<<with fragments of

<<vessels.

And he answers:

<<It is not a difficulty:

<<this is

<<Rabbi Yehuda,

<<this is

<<Rabbi Shimon,

<<this is

<<Rabbi Nechemya!

Two tannaim

<<according to

<<Rabbi Nechemya.

MISHNAH:

<<one may not

<<break off

<<the lamp,

<<because

<<he

<<makes

<<a vessel;

<<and one may not

<<make

<<charcoal

<<on Yom Tov;

<<and one may not

<<cut

<<the wick.

<<Rabbi Yehuda

<<says:

<<he may cut it

<<with fire.

GEMARA:

<<Who is the tanna

<<that breaking off

<<a lamp

<<makes a vessel?

<<Rav Yosef said:

<<Rabbi Meir

<<it is.

<<As it is taught:

<<an earthenware vessel —

<<from when

<<does it become susceptible to

<<impurity?

<<From when is completed

<<its manufacture —

<<the words of

<<Rabbi Meir.

<<Rabbi Yehoshua

<<says:

<<from when he fires it

<<in the kiln.

Abaye said to him:

<<From where [do you know]?

<<Perhaps

<<until here

<<does not

<<say

<<Rabbi Meir

<<there

<<except

<<because it is fit

<<to receive

<<in it

<<something;

<<but

<<here,

<<what is it fit for?

<<To receive

<<in it

<<coins.

Some say:

<<Rav Yosef said:

<<Rabbi Eliezer, son of Rabbi Tzadok

<<it is.

<<As we learned:

<<pans

<<of Charan

<<are pure

<<in a tent of

<<a corpse

<<and impure

<<through carrying by

<<a zav.

Rabbi Eliezer, son of Rabbi Tzadok

<<says:

<<even

<<they are pure

<<through carrying by

<<a zav,

<<because

<<not

<<was completed

<<their manufacture.

Abaye said to him:

<<Perhaps

<<until here

<<does not

<<say

<<Rabbi Eliezer, son of Rabbi Tzadok

<<there

<<except

<<because it is fit

<<to receive

<<in it

<<something;

<<but

<<here,

<<what is it fit for?

<<To receive

<<in it

<<coins.

The Rabbis taught:

<<one may not

<<break off

<<the lamp,

<<and one may not

<<make

<<pans

<<of Charan

<<on Yom Tov.

<<Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel

<<permits

<<with pans

<<of Charan.

<<What are

<<“of Charan”?

<<Rav Yehuda said:

<<“Of the towns.”

<<What are

<<“of the towns”?

<<Abaye said:

<<small pots

<<of the field [villagers].

“And one may not

<<make

<<charcoal.”

<<Obviously!

<<What is it fit for?

<<Taught

<<Rabbi Chiya:

<<it is necessary only

<<to give them

<<to bathhouse attendants

<<on that same day.

And on that same day

<<is it permitted?

<<As said

<<Rava:

<<to sweat,

<<and before

<<the decree.

<<Here too:

<<to sweat,

<<and before

<<the decree.

“And one may not

<<cut

<<the wick

<<in two.”

<<What is different

<<with a knife

<<that not?
