MISHNAH: One does not open the candle because he would make it a vessel nor does one make charcoal, and one does not cut a wick into two. Rebbi Jehudah says, one may cut it in the fire for two candles.

HALAKHAH: It was stated: Closed pans, if he made them before the holiday he may not open them on the holiday since he would be like one who makes a vessel usable on the holiday.

There, we have stated: “About rural pans, that they are pure in a tent with a corpse but impure if carried by a person afflicted with gonorrhea. Rebbi Eleazar ben Rebbi Ṣadoq says, even if carried by a person afflicted with gonorrhea they are pure since their production was not finished.” It turns out that the minority opinion here corresponds to the majority opinion there and the minority opinion there corresponds to the majority opinion here.

Rebbi Abba in the name of Rav Jehudah: A splinter one leans on the wall lest it scratches. It was stated: One does not extinguish a splinter to save it; if to prevent it filling the house or the pot with smoke it is permitted. Rebbi Ḥanania said, if there is no empty space there. But if there is empty space there one throws it into the empty space and this is enough. Rebbi Nasa said, is this correct? Are we saying so, salve one is permitted to rub on to use kohl on the holiday? Rebbi Mana said, one is to guard, the other for healing.

“About a wick three things were said as restrictions and three as leniencies. The following three were said as restrictions: One does not make it new on the holiday, nor does one cut one into two pieces, nor does one singe it by fire. The following three were said as leniencies: One softens it, and soaks it in oil, and divides it into two lights by fire.” Rebbi Ḥinena said, if he needs both of them. It was stated, Rebbi Jehudah bar Pazi in the name of Bar Delaia: He brings two candles, introduces it into both of them, and separates them by fire into two candles. Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa, Ḥinena bar Idi in the name of Rav: One cleans the wick on a holiday.
