MISHNAH: He who transports wine jugs from place to place may not transport them in a basket or box, but he may transport on his shoulder in front of him. He who transports straw may not tie the box and throw it over his shoulder but has to take it into his hand. One may start from a pile of straw but not from wood in storage.

HALAKHAH: “He who transports wine jugs,” etc. Rebbi Ḥanin bar Levi said, the Mishnah is about these little flasks of which one carries two or three in a hand. If it is one big one, in front of him it is usual, on the back it is usual. Just as you are saying, he brings it with its hide, similarly he brings it with its jar. Just as you are saying, he brings it limb by limb, similarly he brings it vial by vial.

Rebbi Yudan asked, may one move straw from a private domain to the public domain? Is that not the Mishnah, “he who transports straw may not tie the box and throw it over his shoulder”? The Mishnah follows him who says, for all breathing, also animal’s breathing is included. What is his problem? Following him who says, animal’s breathing is not included. Also for him who says, animal’s breathing is included, the Mishnah is about transporting as feed. What is his problem? If he transports as fuel.

Rebbi said to his son Rebbi Simeon, climb up and bring us dried figs from the upper floor. He said to him, is it not forbidden because of muqṣeh? He retorted, are you still holding that? Nothing but figs and grapes can be forbidden because of muqzeh! Rebbi Samuel bar Sosartai: Because they stink in between. Rebbi Ze`ira asked before Rebbi Yasa: Is it not reasonable to hold that the case involved split dates? He said to him, that is my opinion also. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun, Rebbi Isaac bar Bisna in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: The case involved split dates.

“He said to him, nothing but figs and grapes can be forbidden because of muqṣeh!” Rebbi Jacob bar Zavdi in the name of Rebbi Abbahu: that is, concerning the Sabbath. But concerning tithes, everything may pass through a stage of muqṣeh. Rebbi Yose said, the Mishnah said so: “Dried figs when he presses them and in a bin if he planes with a roller.”
