The Jerusalem Talmud
משנה: בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים לֹא יָחֵם אָדָם חַמִּין לְרַגְלָיו אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן הָיוּ רְאוּיִין לִשְׁתִיָיה. וּבֵית הִלֵּל מַתִּירִין. וְעוֹשֶׂה מְדוּרָה וּמִתְחַמֵּם כְּנֶגְדָּהּ:
MISHNAH: The House of Shammai are saying that a person may prepare hot water for his feet only if it is drinkable, but the House of Hillel permit. One may make a pyre and warm himself by it.
הלכה: פָּתַר לָהּ תְּרֵין פְּתָרִין. עַל דַּעְתּוֹן דְּבֵית שַׁמַּי וְהוּא שֶׁשָּׁתָה מֵהֶן. עַל דַּעְתּוֹן דְּבֵית הִלֵּל. וְהֵן שֶׁיְּהוּ רְאוּיִן לִשְׁתִיָיה.
HALAKHAH: One explains this by two explanations: in the opinion of the House of Shammai if he drank from it; in the opinion of the House of Hillel if it is drinkable.
וְעוֹשֶׂה מְדוּרָה וּמִתְחַמֵּם כְּנֶגְדָּהּ. דִּבְרֵי הַכֹּל. וְהוּא שֶׁיְּהֵא קוּמְקוּם כְּנֶגֶד הַמְּדוּרָה. פָּתַר לָהּ פֶּתֶר אוֹחְרֹן. עַל דַּעְתּהוֹן דְּבֵית שַׁמַּי וְהוּא שֶׁיְּהֵא קוּמְקוּם כְּנֶגֶד הַמְּדוּרָה. עַל דַּעְתּוֹן דְּבֵית הִלֵּל. אֲפִילּוּ אֵין הַקּוּמְקוּם כְּנֶגֶד הַמְּדוּרָה.
“One may make a pyre and warm himself by it.” This is everybody’s opinion on condition that there be a kettle by the pyre. One may explain it by another explanation: In the opinion of the House of Shammai, on condition that there be a kettle by the pyre. In the opinion of the House of Hillel, even if there is no kettle by the pyre.
חַמִּין שֶׁהוּחְמוֹ בַיּוֹם טוֹב. וְכֵן הַמַּיִם שֶׁהוּחְמוֹ מֵעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת לַשַּׁבָּת. רַב וּשְׁמוּאֵל. חַד אָמַר. מַרְחִיץ בָּהֶן פָּנָיו יָדָיו וְרַגְלָיו. וְחוֹרָנָה אָמַר. מַרְחִיץ בָּהֶן גּוּפוֹ אֵיבָרִים אֵיבָרִים. וְלָא יָדְעִין מָאן אֲמַר דָא וּמָאן אֲמַר דָא. מִן מַה דְתַנֵּי שְׁמוּאֵל מַרְחִיץ בָּהֶם פָּנָיו יָדָיו וְרַגְלָיו. הֲוֵי [רַב] דּוּ אָמַר. מַרְחִיץ בָּהֶן גּוּפוֹ אֵבָרִים אֵבָרִים. חַד פִילוֹסוֹפוֹס שָׁאַל לְבַר קַפָּרָא. אַבַּלָּט שְׁאַל לְלֵוֵי סָרִיסָא. מוּתָּר לִשְׁתּוֹת וְאָסוּר לִרְחוֹץ. אָמַר לֵיהּ. אִם תִּרְאֶה סָרִיס מִתְחַבֵּק עִם אִשְׁתְּךָ שֶׁמָּא אֵינוֹ רַע לָךְ. אָמַר לֵיהּ. אִין. אָמַר לֵיהּ. וּמָכִי [הוּא] לָךְ כְּלוּם. אָמַר לֵיהּ. שֶׁלֹּא תִּתְפָּרֵץ. אָמַר לֵיהּ. וְהָכָא שֶׁלֹּא יִתְפָּרְצוּ. כֵּיוָן שֵׁיָּצָא אָמְרוּ לוֹ תַלְמִידָיו. רִבִּי. לָזֶה דָּחִיתָה בְּקָנֶה. לָנו מָה אַתְּ מֵשִׁיב. אָמַר לָהֶן. וַהֲלֹא כְּבָר נֶאֳמַר אַךְ אֲשֶׁר יֵאָכֵל לְכָל נֶפֶשׁ הוּא לְבַדּוֹ יֵעָשֶׂה לָכֶם.
Hot water heated on a holiday and similarly hot water heated on Friday for the Sabbath, Rav and Samuel, one said, one uses it to wash his face, hands, and feet, while the other said, one uses it to wash his body limb by limb. We did not know who said what but since Samuel stated, one uses it to wash his face, hands, and feet, it follows that it was [Rav] who said, one uses it to wash his entire body limb by limb. A philosopher asked Bar Qappara; Ablat asked Levi the eunuch: Is it permitted for drinking but forbidden for taking a bath? He told him, if you saw an eunuch embracing your wife, would you not feel badly about it? He said, yes. He asked him, can he squeeze her in any way? He said, that she should not get loose morals. He told him, here also that they should not get loose morals. After he left, his students told him, this one you pushed away with a stick; what do you answer us? He said to them: Is there not already written only what is being eaten by everybody, this alone may be made by you.
