MISHNAH: One removes even four or five baskets of straw or of grain because of guests or because of obstruction of the House of Study, but not the storehouse. One removes pure heave, and demay, and First Tithe of which its heave was taken, and Second Tithe or sancta which were redeemed, and dry lupines because it is food of the poor; but not ṭevel, nor First Tithe whose heave was not taken, nor Second Tithe and sancta which were not redeemed, nor serpentary, nor mustard seed. Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel permits serpentary because it is food of ravens.

HALAKHAH: Rebbi Eleazar objected, did we not state “bundles of straw”? Is straw not as if dispersed? “One removes even four or five baskets,” etc. Rebbi Zeˋira asked Rebbi Joshiah, what is the measure of baskets? He told him, let us infer the hidden from the explicit since we have stated there: “The contributions for the Temple were removed in three baskets of three seah each.”

There, we have stated: “one who brings out wine to mix a cup,” etc. Rebbi Zeˋira asked Rebbi Joshiah, what is the measure of cups? He told him, let us infer the hidden from the explicit since Rebbi Ḥiyya stated, the Four Cups of Passover add up to an Italic quartarius of wine.

May one remove from the storehouse in this kind? Let us hear from the following: They are of one opinion that one may not touch the storehouse but one may make a path to enter and leave.

There are Tannaim who state, one moves dema. There are Tannaim who state, one does not move. Rebbi Eleazar said, he who said that one moves, if the heave was pure; but he who said that one does not move, if the heave was impure. Or about one where there was enough lift, but not about one where there was not enough lift. Who said that one moves? Rebbi Eliezer, as we have stated: “Rebbi Eliezer said, the seah which fell in is the seah which came up.

Rebbi Eleazar said, a person can say on a Friday, this shall be heave tomorrow, but nobody can say on the Sabbath, this shall be heave tomorrow. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, nobody can say on a Friday, this shall be heave tomorrow. A Mishnah disagrees with Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun: “If a vessel was immersed that day and somebody filled it from an amphora with ṭevel tithe, if he said, its contents should be heave [of the tithe] tomorrow, i. e., after nightfall, then this is heave. If he said, that should be eruv, he did not say anything.” Explain it if he transgressed. But Rebbi Ḥiyya stated: “He says,” and you say, if he transgressed? Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun retracted that. What is to be done? “From before I shall separate it.” Think about it, if it was pure heave, “from before I shall eat it.” Think about it, if it was impure heave, “from before I shall deposit it in a corner.”

It was stated: One may move both pure and impure heave. Rebbi Zeˋira said, it means that one is permitted to move ṭevel that has a condition on it on the Sabbath. What does he do? He thinks about a part of it and eats the rest.

It was stated: “One may move mustard seed because it is pigeon feed, and rue because it is food for gazelles, and glass because it is food for ostriches. Rebbi Nathan said, then one should be able to move shoots since elephants eat them”.

“Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel permits serpentary because it is food of ravens.” Where do we hold? If he keeps a certain kind and that kind is sold on the market, everybody agrees that it is permitted. If he does not keep a certain kind and that kind is not sold on the market, everybody agrees that it is prohibited. But we must hold that he keeps a certain kind and that kind is not sold on the market. The rabbis said, since that kind is not sold on the market, it is as if he did not keep it. Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel said, since he keeps that kind it is as if that kind were sold on the market.

Rebbi Zeˋira said, this only follows Rebbi Ḥanina, as Rebbi Ḥanina said, we were ascending with Rebbi to the Hot Springs of Gadara when he said to us, choose smooth stones for yourselves; then you are permitted to move them tomorrow. Rebbi Yose said, there is a difference here because it is like a chair.
