Jerusalem Talmud Shabbat 9.7

English · Heinrich W. Guggenheimer

MISHNAH: One who takes out a peddler’s bag, even though it contains many kinds, is liable only for one purification sacrifice. Garden seeds less than the volume of a dried fig; Rebbi Jehudah ben Bathyra said, five. Green melon seeds two, squash seeds two, Egyptian bean seeds two. A live locust in any amount, dead in the volume of a dried fig. A vineyard bird either live or dead in any amount since one keeps it as medicine. Rebbi Jehudah says, also one who brings out a dead locust in the most minute amount since one keeps it as a toy for children.

HALAKHAH: 7. It is difficult. If he continues to bring out in one forgetting, is he not liable only once? For whom is it necessary? For Rebbi Eliezer. That you should not say, many kinds should be treated like as many forgettings and he would be liable for each single one. Therefore it was necessary to say that he is liable only once.

“Garden seeds less than the volume of a dried fig; Rebbi Jehudah ben Bathyra said, five.” What is Rebbi Jehudah ben Bathyra’s reason? Because this is what one usually sows in a garden bed.

“Green melon seeds two, squash seeds two, Egyptian bean seeds two.” It was stated: Median wheat two. Rebbi Samuel in the name of Rebbi Zeˋira: Because wheat was so much in esteem they treated it like garden vegetables which are not eaten.

“A live locust in the most minute amount, dead in the volume of a dried fig..” That means, if it is pure. But if it is impure, a dog’s mouthful.

“A vineyard bird either live or dead in any amount since one keeps it as medicine.” Rebbi Aḥa said, for a woman with rough skin rubs in with it and she is healed. There, they said, a person who wants to renounce sexual activity eats half of it and keeps half of it. The left hand part is forbidden, the right hand part is permitted. If anything was lost or missing he has no recourse ever. What should he do? Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, he preserves it in a honey flask.

“Rebbi Jehudah says, also one who brings out a dead locust in the most minute amount.” Therefore pure in the amount of a dried fig whether alive or dead. Rebbi Jehudah follows his own opinion since Rebbi Jehudah says one does not play with pure food. But is there not written, would you play with him as with a bird? Is it not permitted out of a prohibition? But is it not written, as with a bird? Rebbi Mattaniah said, since it is lacking slaughter it is as if impure.
