Jerusalem Talmud Shabbat 12.2

English · Heinrich W. Guggenheimer

MISHNAH: He who ploughs any amount, who weeds, who prunes, or who thins anything is liable. One who collects wood, if to improve in any amount, or if as firewood to cook an easily cooked egg. One who collects grasses, if to improve in any amount, if for animals to fill a kid goat’s mouth.

HALAKHAH: 2. What kind of ploughing was in the Tabernacle? They ploughed to plant dyestuff. How much does one have to plough to become liable? Rebbi Mattaniah said, enough to plant a leek. Rebbi Aḥa bar Rav said, enough to plant a wheat sprout.

There, we have stated: “Two green melon seeds make liable, two squash seeds.” It was stated, two Median wheat kernels. Rebbi Samuel in the name of Rebbi Zeˋira: Since wheat was so much appreciated they treated it like garden vegetables that are not eaten.

Why do I need “to improve in any amount,” why do I need “to fill a kid goat’s mouth”?
