that it hears

<<its voice

<<by day.

Acted

<<Rav Mari

<<on the case

<<up to

<<sixty

<<houses.

And if there is

<<a river,

<<it does not

<<cross;

<<and if there is

<<a ford,

<<it crosses;

<<and if there is

<<a narrow bridge,

<<it does not

<<cross.

<<There was

<<an incident,

<<and it crossed

<<on a narrow bridge.

With what

<<did you establish it?

<<Where [the hen] conceived

<<from the ground —

<<why specifically

<<when he checked?

<<When

<<he did not

<<check

<<too!

When

<<he did not

<<check,

<<say

<<from yesterday

<<it was.

<<If so,

<<when

<<he checked

<<too,

<<say:

<<emerged

<<most of it

<<and went back

<<it did,

<<in accordance with Rabbi Yochanan!

<<[The case] of Rabbi Yochanan

<<is not

<<common.

And Rabbi Yosei ben Shaul said in the name of Rav:

<<this

<<garlic

<<crushed —

<<is a danger

<<[if left] uncovered.

Beis Shammai

<<say:

<<leaven

<<in the size of an olive.

What is the reason

<<of Beis Shammai?

<<If so,

<<let write

<<the Merciful One

<<chametz,

<<and not

<<need

<<leaven,

<<and I

<<would say:

<<if

<<chametz,

<<whose not

<<leavening

<<is strong,

<<is in the size of an olive,

<<leaven,

<<whose leavening

<<is strong —

<<how much more so!

<<Leaven

<<that wrote

<<the Merciful One —

<<why do I need it?

<<To tell you:

<<the measure

<<of this

<<is not

<<like the measure

<<of that.

And Beis Hillel?

<<They are necessary,

<<for if

<<wrote

<<the Merciful One

<<leaven,

<<I would have said:

<<because

<<its leavening

<<is strong;

<<but

<<chametz,

<<whose not

<<leavening

<<is strong,

<<say

<<no —

<<it is necessary.

And if

<<wrote

<<the Merciful One

<<chametz,

<<because

<<it is fit

<<for eating;

<<but

<<leaven,

<<which is not

<<fit

<<for eating,

<<say

<<no —

<<it is necessary.

And Beis Shammai —

<<do they not hold of

<<[the teaching of] Rabbi Zeira?

<<For Rabbi Zeira said:

<<opened

<<the verse

<<with leaven

<<and concluded

<<with chametz,

<<to tell you:

<<this is

<<leaven,

<<this is

<<chametz!

With regard to

<<eating,

<<everyone

<<does not

<<disagree;

<<where

<<they disagree

<<is with regard to

<<removal.

<<Beis Shammai

<<hold:

<<we do not

<<derive

<<removal

<<from eating;

<<and Beis Hillel

<<hold:

<<we derive

<<removal

<<from eating.

It was stated

<<also:

<<Rabbi Yosei bar Chanina said:

<<the dispute is

<<with regard to

<<removal,

<<but

<<with regard to

<<eating,

<<all agree:

<<this

<<and that

<<in the size of an olive.

It is taught

<<also

<<so:

<<‘and not

<<shall be seen

<<for you

<<(leaven),

<<and not

<<shall be seen

<<for you

<<(chametz)’ —

<<this is

<<the dispute

<<that is between

<<Beis Shammai

<<and Beis Hillel.

<<For Beis Shammai

<<say:

<<leaven

<<in the size of an olive,

<<and chametz

<<in the size of a date;

<<and Beis Hillel

<<say:

<<this

<<and that

<<in the size of an olive.

One who slaughters

<<an undomesticated animal

<<or a bird

<<on Yom Tov

<<etc.

‘One who slaughters’ —

<<after the fact,

<<yes;

<<from the outset,

<<no?

<<Say

<<the latter clause:

<<and Beis Hillel

<<say:

<<he may not

<<slaughter.

<<By implication,

<<the first tanna

<<holds

<<he may slaughter!

This is not a difficulty:

<<‘he may not

<<slaughter

<<and cover’

<<is what it says.

Say

<<the latter clause:

<<but they agree

<<that if

<<he slaughtered,

<<he may dig

<<with a spade

<<and cover.

<<By implication,

<<the first clause

<<is not

<<after the fact

<<it is!

Rabba said:

<<this is what

<<it is saying:

<<one who [wishes to] slaughter

<<who comes

<<to consult —

<<how

<<does one say

<<to him?

<<Beis Shammai

<<say:

<<one says

<<to him:

<<slaughter,

<<dig

<<and cover.

<<And Beis Hillel

<<say:

<<he may not

<<slaughter

<<unless

<<there was

<<for him

<<earth

<<prepared

<<while it was still day [before Yom Tov].

Rav Yosef

<<said:

<<this is what

<<it is saying:

<<one who [wishes to] slaughter

<<who comes

<<to consult —

<<how

<<does one say

<<to him?

<<Beis Shammai

<<say:

<<one says

<<to him:

<<go

<<dig,

<<slaughter

<<and cover;

<<and Beis Hillel

<<say:

<<he may not

<<slaughter

<<unless

<<there was

<<for him

<<earth

<<prepared

<<while it was still day [before Yom Tov].

Abaye said to Rav Yosef:

<<shall we say

<<the Master

<<and Rabba

<<about [the teaching of] Rabbi Zeira

<<[in the name of]

<<Rav

<<disagree?

<<For Rabbi Zeira said in the name of Rav:

<<one who slaughters

<<must

<<place

<<earth

<<below

<<and earth

<<above,

<<as it is said:

<<‘and he shall pour out

<<its blood

<<and cover it

<<in earth.’

<<‘Earth’

<<is not

<<said,

<<but

<<‘in earth’ —

<<this teaches

<<that one who slaughters

<<must

<<place

<<earth

<<below

<<and earth

<<above.

That the Master

<<holds of

<<[the teaching of] Rabbi Zeira,

<<and Rabba

<<does not hold of

<<[the teaching of] Rabbi Zeira?

He said to him:

<<both

<<according to me

<<and

<<according to Rabba,

<<we hold of

<<[the teaching of] Rabbi Zeira.

<<And here

<<about this

<<we disagree:

<<Rabba

<<holds:

<<if

<<there is

<<earth

<<below,

<<yes;

<<if

<<not,

<<no —

<<we are concerned

<<lest

<<he consult

<<and not

<<slaughter.

<<And according to me,

<<(on the contrary,)

<<this

<<is better,

<<for if

<<you do not

<<permit

<<him,

<<he will come

<<to refrain

<<from the rejoicing of

<<Yom Tov.

But they agree

<<that if

<<he slaughtered,

<<he may dig

<<with a spade

<<and cover.

<<Rabbi Zerika said in the name of Rav Yehuda:

<<provided

<<that he has

<<a spade

<<stuck [in the ground]

<<while it was still day.

<<But

<<he is doing

<<crushing!

<<Rav Chiya bar Ashi said in the name of Rav:
