Jerusalem Talmud Maasrot 4.1

English · Heinrich W. Guggenheimer

MISHNAH: He who pickles, cooks, or salts in the field is obligated. He who stores in the ground is free. He who dips in the field is free. He who pounds olives to remove the resin is free. He who squeezes olives on his skin is free but if he squeezed and put into his hand he is obligated. He who prepares wine sauce for a dish is free but in a pot it is obligated for it is like a small cistern.

HALAKHAH: Fire creates ṭevel, buying creates ṭevel, salt creates ṭevel, heave creates ṭevel, the Sabbath creates ṭevel, a secure courtyard creates ṭevel, but Rebbi Joḥanan said that buying and Sabbath are not biblical. Rebbi Immi in the name of Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish, the most reasonable of these is the secure courtyard.

He who pickles, only if he pickles completely? He who cooks, only if he cooks thoroughly? Let us hear from the following: If one singes ears of grain in the fire they become ṭevel. Without that, would they not need to be worked over by fire? There is a difference here, because that is the end of their processing. Where has this been said? If one plucks out kernels from ears destined for dough, if it is to eat them rolled they are ṭevel, but to make a dough they are not ṭevel.

If he pickled or cooked without the owners’ knowledge, there is a difference between Rebbi Joḥanan and Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish since these differ: If somebody made a heap [of somebody’s grain] without the latter’s knowledge, Rebbi Joḥanan said, it is ṭevel, Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, it is not ṭevel. Rebbi Yudan said, there it is impossible for him not to make a heap, here it is possible for him not to pickle.

If he cooked it while it was property of the Temple, redeemed it, and brought it into a secure courtyard, what is its status? In the opinion of Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish it became ṭevel; this is biblical, that is not biblical. If he brought it into a secure courtyard, redeemed and then cooked it, everybody agrees that it became ṭevel, what did he process while it was property of the Temple? If he dedicated it, cooked it, brought it into a secure courtyard, redeemed it, and cooked it again, everybody agrees that it became ṭevel. If he redeemed it and put it out to dry, what is its status? If you say that fire creates ṭevel, fire frees from ṭevel; if you say that fire does not create ṭevel, fire does not free from ṭevel.

Rebbi Jeremiah asked: If he fried in the field, what is its status? Does not the fire create ṭevel anyhow? Is it impossible not to use oil?

Rebbi Yose used to asked in the name of Cahana: Rebbi Jonah said, Rebbi Ḥalaphta ben Shaul stated: If someone organized a meal in a circle in the field he created ṭevel. If one did not organize a meal a circle he did not create ṭevel. What organizing in a circle creates ṭevel? Any meal in a circle with wine. If people prepared to eat in a circle but then did not?

It was stated: “Garlic, garden cress, and mustard seed which were prepared in the field became ṭevel” That means, ṭevel garlic with profane oil. Profane garlic with ṭevel oil?

Rebbi Zeïra, Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Ashi in the name of Rav: A bunch of grapes which he squeezed into a cup became ṭevel; into a tamḥui it did not become ṭevel.

Does not the fire induce ṭevel anyhow? Explain it if the dish was cold. “In a pot it is obligated;” Rebbi Eleazar said, that refers to an empty pot. The Mishnah does not say so, but “he who prepares wine sauce for a dish is free but in a pot it is obligated for it is like a small cistern.”
