And not

<<did we say [this]

<<except

<<where not

<<had gone ahead

<<those

<<and joined to bless

<<over them [i.e., counting them]

<<in their places;

<<but

<<[if] they joined to bless

<<over them

<<in their places,

<<has flown

<<the invitation

<<from them.

Rava said:

<<From where

<<do I say

<<it?

<<As we learned:

<<A bed

<<that was stolen

<<half of it,

<<or

<<that was lost

<<half of it,

<<or

<<that divided it

<<brothers

<<or

<<partners —

<<is pure.

<<[If] they restored it,

<<it receives

<<impurity

<<from here

<<and onward.

From here

<<and onward,

<<yes;

<<retroactively,

<<no.

<<Evidently,

<<since

<<they divided it,

<<has flown

<<for it [i.e., away]

<<the impurity

<<from it.

<<Here

<<too,

<<since

<<they joined to bless

<<over them,

<<has flown

<<the invitation

<<from them.

“Two

<<groups,

<<etc.”

<<It was taught:

<<If

<<there is

<<an attendant

<<between them,

<<the attendant

<<combines them.

“They do not

<<bless

<<over

<<the wine.”

<<The Rabbis taught:

<<Wine,

<<before

<<he has put

<<into it

<<water,

<<they do not

<<bless

<<over it

<<“Who creates

<<the fruit of

<<the vine,”

<<but rather

<<“Who creates

<<the fruit of

<<the tree,”

<<and they take

<<from it

<<for the hands [i.e., washing].

<<Once he has put

<<into it

<<water,

<<they bless

<<over it

<<“Who creates

<<the fruit of

<<the vine,”

<<and they do not

<<take

<<from it

<<for the hands;

<<these are the words of

<<Rabbi Eliezer.

<<And the Sages

<<say:

<<Whether

<<this way

<<or

<<that way,

<<they bless

<<over it

<<“Who creates

<<the fruit of

<<the vine,”

<<and they do not

<<take

<<from it

<<for the hands.

Like whom

<<goes

<<this

<<that Shmuel said:

<<May do

<<a person

<<all

<<his needs

<<with bread —

<<like whom?

<<Like Rabbi Eliezer.

Rabbi Yosei son of Rabbi Chanina said:

<<Agree

<<the Sages

<<with Rabbi Eliezer

<<about the cup

<<of

<<blessing,

<<that they do not

<<bless

<<over it

<<until

<<he puts

<<into it

<<water.

<<What is the reason?

<<Rav Oshaya said:

<<We require

<<a mitzvah

<<from

<<the choicest.

And the Rabbis —

<<for what

<<is it fit?

<<Rabbi Zeira said:

<<It is fit

<<for kurayatei [a medicinal drink].

The Rabbis taught:

<<Four

<<things

<<were said

<<about bread:

<<They do not

<<place

<<meat

<<raw

<<on

<<the bread;

<<and they do not

<<pass

<<a cup

<<full

<<over

<<the bread;

<<and they do not

<<throw

<<the bread;

<<and they do not

<<prop up

<<the bowl

<<with bread.

Ameimar

<<and Mar Zutra

<<and Rav Ashi

<<were wrapping [i.e., eating]

<<bread

<<with each other;

<<they brought

<<before them

<<dates

<<and pomegranates.

<<Took

<<Mar Zutra

<<[and] threw

<<before

<<Rav Ashi

<<a portion.

<<He said to him:

<<Does not

<<hold

<<it

<<the Master —

<<this

<<that is taught:

<<They do not

<<throw

<<the foods?

<<That one

<<about bread

<<was taught.

<<But isn't it taught:

<<Just as

<<they do not

<<throw

<<the bread,

<<so

<<they do not

<<throw

<<the foods!

<<He said to him:

<<But isn't it taught:

<<even though

<<they do not

<<throw

<<the bread,

<<yet

<<they do throw

<<the foods!

Rather,

<<it is not difficult:

<<this

<<is with something

<<that becomes repulsive;

<<this

<<is with something

<<that does not

<<become repulsive.

The Rabbis taught:

<<They draw

<<wine

<<through pipes

<<before

<<a groom

<<and before

<<a bride,

<<and they throw

<<before them

<<roasted grain

<<and nuts

<<in the days of

<<the summer,

<<but

<<not

<<in the days of

<<the rains.

<<But

<<not

<<rolls,

<<neither

<<in the days of

<<the summer

<<nor

<<in the days of

<<the rains.

Rav Yehuda said:

<<[If] he forgot

<<and put

<<food

<<into

<<his mouth

<<without

<<a blessing,

<<he moves it

<<to side

<<one

<<and blesses.

It is taught

<<in one [baraisa]:

<<He swallows it;

<<and it is taught

<<in another:

<<he spits it out;

<<and it is taught

<<in another:

<<he moves it [aside].

It is not difficult:

<<This

<<that is taught

<<“he swallows it”

<<is with liquids;

<<and this

<<that is taught

<<“he spits it out”

<<is with something

<<that does not

<<become repulsive;

<<and this

<<that is taught

<<“he moves it [aside]”

<<is with something

<<that becomes repulsive.
