Because he fixes

<<a vessel;

<<with fire

<<also

<<he fixes

<<a vessel!

<<Taught

<<Rabbi Chiya:

<<he cuts it

<<with fire

<<at the mouths of

<<two

<<lamps.

<<Rav Nasan bar Abba said in the name of Rav:

<<one may trim

<<the wick

<<on Yom Tov.

<<What is

<<“trim”?

<<Rav Chanina bar Shelemya said

<<(in the name

<<of Rav):

<<to remove

<<the charred part.

Taught

<<Bar Kappara:

<<six

<<things

<<were said

<<about a wick,

<<three

<<to be stringent

<<and three

<<to be lenient.

<<To be stringent:

<<one may not

<<twist

<<it

<<at the outset

<<on Yom Tov,

<<and one may not

<<singe

<<it

<<in fire,

<<and one may not

<<cut

<<it

<<in two.

<<To be lenient:

<<he may crush it

<<by hand,

<<and soak it

<<in oil,

<<and cut it

<<with fire

<<at the mouths of

<<two

<<lamps.

And Rav Nasan bar Abba said in the name of Rav:

<<the wealthy of

<<Babylonia

<<descend to

<<Gehinnom

<<are they.

<<Like this:

<<that Shabsai bar Marinus

<<happened

<<to Babylonia;

<<he asked

<<of them

<<a business partnership,

<<and not

<<did they give him;

<<food

<<to feed [him]

<<also

<<not

<<did they feed him.

He said:

<<These

<<from the mixed multitude

<<come,

<<as it is written:

<<“And He will give

<<you

<<mercy

<<and have mercy on you”:

<<whoever

<<is merciful

<<to

<<people,

<<it is known

<<that he is

<<from the seed

<<of

<<Avraham

<<our father.

<<and whoever

<<is not

<<merciful

<<to

<<people,

<<it is known

<<that he is not

<<from the seed

<<of

<<Avraham

<<our father.

And Rav Nasan bar Abba said in the name of Rav:

<<whoever

<<looks to

<<the table of

<<others,

<<the world

<<is dark

<<for him,

<<as it is stated:

<<“He wanders

<<for bread:

<<where is it?

<<He knows

<<that

<<ready

<<at his hand

<<is the day of

<<darkness.”

<<Rav Chisda

<<said:

<<even

<<his life

<<is not

<<a life.

The Rabbis taught:

<<three —

<<their lives

<<are not

<<lives,

<<and these are they:

<<one who looks

<<to the table of

<<his fellow,

<<and one

<<whose wife

<<rules

<<over him,

<<and one

<<whose sufferings

<<rule

<<over his body.

<<And some say:

<<also

<<one

<<who has

<<only

<<one shirt.

<<And the first tanna?

<<It is possible

<<that he checks

<<his garments.

MISHNAH:

<<one may not

<<break

<<earthenware,

<<and one may not

<<cut

<<paper

<<to roast

<<on it

<<salted fish.

And one may not

<<sweep out

<<an oven

<<or a stove,

<<but

<<one may press down [the ashes].

And one may not

<<place next to each other

<<two

<<barrels

<<to set

<<on them

<<the pot,

<<and one may not

<<support

<<the pot

<<with a split log,

<<and likewise

<<with a door.

<<And one may not

<<drive

<<the animal

<<with a stick

<<on Yom Tov;

<<and Rabbi Elazar, son of Rabbi Shimon,

<<permits.

GEMARA:

<<What is the reason?

<<Because

<<he fixes

<<a vessel.

“And one may not

<<sweep out

<<an oven

<<or a stove.”

<<Taught

<<Rav Chiya bar Yosef

<<before

<<Rav Nachman:

<<and if

<<it is not possible

<<to bake

<<unless

<<he sweeps it,

<<it is permitted.

<<The wife of

<<Rabbi Chiya

<<had fall

<<a brick

<<into the oven

<<on Yom Tov.

<<Said to her

<<Rabbi Chiya:

<<see,

<<that I

<<bread

<<fine

<<want.

<<Rava said

<<to his attendant:

<<roast

<<for me

<<a gosling,

<<and be careful

<<of scorching.

Ravina said to Rav Ashi:

<<told us

<<Rav Acha of Hutzal

<<that for the master

<<they plaster

<<the oven

<<on Yom Tov.

<<He said to him:

<<we

<<on the bank

<<of the Euphrates

<<rely;

<<and this applies

<<where

<<he marked it

<<from yesterday.

<<Ravina said:

<<and ash

<<is permitted.

“And one may not

<<place next to each other

<<two

<<barrels.”

<<Rav Nachman said:

<<stones

<<of

<<the bathroom —

<<it is permitted

<<to arrange them

<<on Yom Tov.

<<Raised an objection

<<Rabba

<<to Rav Nachman:

<<one may not

<<place next to each other

<<two

<<barrels

<<to set

<<on them

<<the pot!

<<He said to him:

<<different is

<<there,

<<because

<<he makes

<<a tent.

Rabba Zuta said to Rav Ashi:

<<But now,

<<if he built

<<a bench

<<on Yom Tov,

<<where not

<<does he make

<<a tent,

<<so too

<<is it permitted?

<<He said to him:

<<There,

<<building

<<permanent

<<prohibited

<<the Torah;

<<building

<<temporary

<<not

<<did prohibit

<<the Torah,

<<and decreed

<<the Rabbis

<<on

<<building

<<temporary

<<because of

<<building

<<permanent;

<<and here,

<<because of

<<his dignity,

<<not

<<did decree

<<about it

<<the Rabbis.

Rav Yehuda said:

<<this

<<bonfire —

<<from above

<<to below

<<is permitted;

<<from below

<<to above

<<is prohibited.
