that he needs

<<to test them.

<<And some say it:

<<because

<<he needs

<<to harden them.

We learned there:

<<if it was clawed,

<<or

<<if it was struck

<<against a wall,

<<or

<<if crushed it

<<an animal

<<and it is writhing,

<<and it survived

<<a full day

<<and he slaughtered it,

<<it is kosher.

<<Rabbi Elazar bar Yannai said

<<in the name of

<<Rabbi Elazar ben Antigonos:

<<it requires

<<examination.

Asked

<<Rabbi Yirmeya

<<of Rabbi Zeira:

<<what is [the law]

<<to slaughter it

<<on Yom Tov?

<<Do

<<we presume

<<a defect

<<on Yom Tov,

<<or

<<not?

He said to him:

<<we have learned it:

<<one may not

<<heat until white

<<the tiles

<<to roast

<<on them;

<<and we discussed it:

<<what

<<does he do?

<<And Rabba bar bar Chana said in the name of Rabbi Yochanan:

<<here

<<with tiles

<<new

<<we are dealing,

<<because

<<he needs

<<to test them.

He said to him:

<<we

<<“because

<<he needs

<<to harden them”

<<teach it.

It is taught:

<<one

<<brings

<<the fire,

<<and one

<<brings

<<the wood,

<<and one

<<sets

<<the pot,

<<and one

<<brings

<<the water,

<<and one

<<puts

<<into it

<<spices,

<<and one

<<stirs —

<<all of them

<<are liable.

<<But isn't it taught:

<<the last

<<is liable

<<and all

<<are exempt!

<<It is not a difficulty:

<<this is

<<where he brought

<<the fire

<<first;

<<this

<<where he brought

<<the fire

<<last.

Granted,

<<all of them

<<do

<<an action;

<<but

<<one who sets

<<the pot,

<<what

<<does he do?

<<Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish said:

<<here

<<with a pot

<<new

<<we are dealing,

<<and because of

<<heating

<<tiles

<<they came

<<to it.

The Rabbis taught:

<<an oven

<<and a stove

<<that are new

<<are

<<like all

<<the vessels

<<that are moved

<<in the courtyard;

<<but

<<one may not

<<smear

<<them

<<with oil,

<<and one may not

<<rub

<<them

<<with a cloth,

<<and one may not

<<cool

<<them

<<with cold water

<<in order

<<to harden them;

<<and if

<<for the sake of

<<baking,

<<it is permitted.

The Rabbis taught:

<<one may scald

<<the head

<<and the feet

<<and singe

<<them

<<in fire;

<<but

<<one may not

<<coat

<<them

<<with clay,

<<nor

<<with earth,

<<nor

<<with lime.

<<And one may not

<<cut [the hair of]

<<them

<<with scissors.

And one may not

<<trim

<<the vegetable

<<with the cutter

<<for it.

<<But

<<one may prepare

<<the artichoke

<<and the thistles,

<<and one may heat

<<and bake

<<in a large oven,

<<and heat

<<water

<<in an antichi [vessel];

<<but one may not

<<bake

<<in an oven

<<that is new,

<<lest

<<it crack.

The Rabbis taught:

<<one may not

<<blow

<<with a bellows,

<<but

<<one may blow

<<with a tube.

<<And one may not

<<fix

<<the spit,

<<and one may not

<<sharpen

<<it.

<<The Rabbis taught:

<<one may not

<<split

<<the reed

<<to roast

<<on it

<<salted fish;

<<but

<<one may crack

<<the nut

<<in a cloth,

<<and we are not concerned

<<lest

<<it tear.

MISHNAH:

<<And furthermore

<<Rabbi Eliezer said:

<<may stand

<<a person

<<by

<<the drying [produce]
