Ravina

<<said:

<<actually,

<<do not

<<reverse [it];

<<and Rabbi Yehuda

<<according to the words

<<of the Rabbis

<<is saying [it]

<<to them:

According to me,

<<even

<<on the first

<<too

<<it is permitted,

<<for food

<<that separated

<<it is.

<<But

<<according to you,

<<concede

<<to me

<<at least

<<that on the second

<<it is permitted,

<<for two

<<sanctities

<<they are.

<<And say

<<to him

<<the Rabbis:

<<no,

<<a sanctity

<<one

<<it is.

Ravina

<<son

<<of Rav Ulla

<<said:

<<here,

<<with a hen

<<that stands

<<to raise

<<eggs [we are dealing],

<<and Rabbi Yehuda

<<follows his reasoning,

<<for he holds of

<<muktzeh.

They raised an objection:

<<both

<<an egg

<<that was laid

<<on Shabbos

<<and

<<an egg

<<that was laid

<<on Yom Tov —

<<one may not

<<move

<<it,

<<neither

<<to cover

<<with it

<<a vessel,

<<nor

<<to support

<<with it

<<the legs of

<<a bed.

But

<<he may overturn

<<over it

<<a vessel

<<so

<<that it not

<<break.

<<And a doubtful one

<<is prohibited;

<<and if

<<it became mixed

<<with a thousand,

<<all of them

<<are prohibited.

Granted,

<<according to Rabba,

<<who said

<<because of

<<preparation:

<<it is

<<a doubt

<<of Torah law,

<<and every

<<doubt

<<of Torah law

<<is [ruled] stringently.

But

<<according to Rav Yosef

<<and Rabbi Yitzchak,

<<who say

<<because of

<<a decree,

<<a doubt

<<of rabbinic law

<<it is,

<<and every

<<doubt

<<of rabbinic law

<<is [ruled] leniently!

(Said

<<to him:)

<<the latter clause —

<<we have come

<<to a doubt of

<<a treifa.

If so,

<<say

<<the latter clause:

<<if it became mixed

<<with a thousand,

<<all of them

<<are prohibited.

<<If

<<you say —

<<granted —

<<a doubt [whether]

<<Yom Tov,

<<[or] a doubt

<<weekday,

<<it is

<<an item

<<that has

<<a permitting [time],

<<and any

<<item

<<that has

<<a permitting [time],

<<even

<<in a thousand

<<is not

<<nullified.

But

<<if

<<you say

<<a doubt of

<<a treifa,

<<an item

<<that does not have

<<a permitting [time]

<<it is,

<<so let it be nullified

<<in a majority!

And if you say

<<an egg

<<is significant

<<and is not

<<nullified —

<<this works well

<<according to the one who said:

<<‘any item

<<whose way is

<<to be counted

<<we learned.’

But

<<according to the one who said:

<<‘that

<<whose way is

<<to be counted

<<we learned,’

<<what

<<is there

<<to say?

As we learned:

<<one

<<who had

<<bundles of

<<fenugreek

<<of

<<diverse kinds of the vineyard —

<<they must be burned.

<<If they became mixed

<<with others,

<<and [those] others

<<with others,

<<all of them

<<must be burned —

<<the words of

<<Rabbi Meir.

<<And the Sages

<<say:

<<they are nullified

<<in two hundred and one.

For

<<Rabbi Meir

<<would say:

<<that

<<whose way is

<<to be counted

<<sanctifies [its mixture];

<<and the Sages

<<say:

<<does not

<<sanctify

<<except

<<six

<<items

<<alone;

<<Rabbi Akiva

<<says:

<<seven.

<<And these

<<are they:

<<nuts of

<<Perech,

<<and pomegranates of

<<Badan,

<<and barrels

<<sealed,

<<and shoots of

<<beets,

<<and stalks of

<<cabbage,

<<and a gourd

<<Greek.

<<Rabbi Akiva

<<adds

<<also

<<loaves

<<of

<<a householder.

That which is fit

<<for orlah

<<is orlah;

<<that which is fit

<<for diverse kinds of the vineyard

<<is diverse kinds of the vineyard.

<<And it was stated

<<about it:

<<Rabbi Yochanan

<<said:

<<‘that

<<whose way is

<<to be counted

<<we learned.’

<<And Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish

<<said:

<<‘any item

<<whose way is

<<to be counted

<<we learned.’

This works well

<<according to Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish,

<<but

<<according to Rabbi Yochanan

<<what

<<is there

<<to say?

Rav Pappa said:

<<this

<<tanna

<<is the tanna

<<of the litra of

<<dried figs

<<it is,

<<who said:

<<any

<<item

<<that is [sold] by count,

<<even

<<in rabbinic law

<<is not

<<nullified,

<<and all the more so

<<in Torah law.

As we learned:

<<a litra of

<<dried figs

<<that he pressed

<<onto the top of

<<a round cake [of figs],

<<and he does not know

<<onto which

<<round cake

<<he pressed it;

<<onto the top of

<<a barrel,

<<and he does not know

<<onto which

<<barrel

<<he pressed it;

<<onto the top of

<<a hive,

<<and he does not know

<<onto which

<<hive

<<he pressed it —

<<Rabbi Meir

<<says,

<<Rabbi Eliezer
