MISHNAH: One works in Syria what is plucked but not what is standing. One threshes, winnows, treads, and makes sheaves, but one harvests neither grain, nor grapes or olives. Rebbi Aqiba stated a rule: Everything that is permitted in the Land of Israel one does in Syria.

HALAKHAH: “One works in Syria what is plucked”, etc. Rebbi Abbahu said, so that they should not go and stay there permanently. Then why may he work what is plucked? Since he sees only small gain he will not leave.

Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun asked before Rebbi Mana: May one mill with a Gentile in the Land? He said to him, the Mishnah tells us that it is forbidden, as it is stated: “One works in Syria what is plucked but not what is standing;” therefore in the Land it should be forbidden even when it was plucked.

At a place where one may eat but not work, may one rent out one’s animals there? Rebbi Levi from Sennabaris asked Rebbis Isaac and Immi and they forbade it. Rebbi Hoshaia gave money to the Gentiles, not because it would have been forbidden but so as not to leave his animal alone with a Gentile.

What are we dealing with? If about produce of the sixth year held over to the Sabbatical, even in the Land it is permitted. If produce of the Sabbatical is held over to the year after the Sabbatical, one is permitted to plough but forbidden to harvest. But one deals with produce of the Sabbatical in the Sabbatical.

Rebbi Ḥuna went to Tyre and forbade them a kind of irrigation. Rebbi Yose heard this and said, this is correct, is this not about [plants] connected to the ground? But did we not state (Mishnah Mo‘ed Qaṭan 1:1): “One irrigates a field in intensive agriculture both during the intermediate days of a holiday and during the Sabbatical year?” Rebbi Yudan said, only for the vegetables there. Rebbi Mana said, then it should also be permitted to plough for them!
