MISHNAH: One does not soak asafoetida in lukewarm water but one may add it to vinegar. One does not soak vetch and does not smooth it, but one may put it into a pot or into a bag. One does not shake straw in a sieve and does not expose it on an elevated place to cause the chaff to fall down, but one may take it in a sieve to put it into a trough.

HALAKHAH: Rebbi Mana said, so is the Mishnah: But one may put it in vinegar in his presence. Rav Huna said, they taught only lukewarm water; therefore it is permitted in cold water. Rebbi Joḥanan in the name of Rebbi Yannai, even in cold water it is forbidden. Rebbi Joḥanan said to him, did they not teach only lukewarm water? (But) {He said to him], did we exert ourselves for nothing

Rav Huna said, one is permitted to drink asa foetida water on the Sabbath. Samuel said, asa foetida in itself is healthy persons’ food. Rav Huna said, he who eats the weight of a zuz from it is in danger and his skin is loosened. Rebbi Abba ate the weight of a zuz from it and jumped in the river.

[It was stated:] “One does not soak vetch,” because of selecting; “and does not smooth it,” because of threshing. “One does not shake straw in a sieve and does not expose it on an elevated place to cause the chaff to fall,” because of sifting.
