Jerusalem Talmud Shabbat 2.2

English · Heinrich W. Guggenheimer

MISHNAH: One does not kindle with oil to be burned on a holiday. Rebbi Ismael says, one does not kindle with ˋiṭran because of the honor of the Sabbath. But the Sages permit all kinds of oil, sesame oil, nut oil, radish oil, fish oil, colocynth oil, ˋiṭran, and naphtha. Rebbi Tarphon says, one kindles only with olive oil.

HALAKHAH: “One does not kindle with oil to be burned on a holiday,” etc. Therefore one kindles with all those mentioned earlier.

“Rebbi Ismael says, one does not kindle with ˋiṭran because of the honor of the Sabbath.” What is the difference between ˋiṭran and innards of fish? Innards of fish are not smelling badly as long as they are burning; they are smelling badly when extinguished. ˋIṭran smells badly whether extinguished or burning. Since it smells badly one should need to distance himself four cubits; therefore it is necessary to say “one does not kindle”.

“Rebbi Tarphon says, one kindles only with olive oil.” “Rebbi Joḥanan ben Nuri got on his feet and said, if it is so what should the people of Babylonia do who have only sesame oil? What should the people of Media do who have only nut oil? What should the people of Alexandria do who have only radish oil? What should the people of Kappadokia do who have neither one nor the other (but naphtha)? But you have only what the earlier ones permitted.”
