MISHNAH: Partners who gave heave one after the other, Rebbi Aqiba says both of their heaves are heave. But the Sages say, the heave of the first one [only] is heave. Rebbi Yose says, if the first one gave the full measure of heave, then his heave is heave, but if the first one did not give the full measure of heave, then the heave of the second is heave. Where was this said? When he did not say anything. But if he empowered a member of his family, his slave, or his slave girl, their heave is heave. In case he revoked, if he revoked before heave was given, his heave is not heave. But if he revoked after heave was given, his heave is heave. Workers have no right to give heave except for those who press grapes because they make the wine press impure.

HALAKHAH: Where do we hold? If they assigned, even Rebbi Aqiba agrees. If they did not assign, even the rabbis will agree. But we assume they were silent. Rebbi Aqiba says, if they are silent they do not assign, but the rabbis hold that by being silent they will assign.

In the opinion of Rebbi Aqiba, the seah of the first one is half ṭevel and half heave containing undistributed tithes. The seah of the second is half heave and half total ṭevel. That does not seem necessary: may the half seah of the second free the half seah of the first? Let us hear from the following: Ariston brought produce, left some in the sack, and gave heave. The case came before Rebbi Yose; he said it is a standing assumption that he gave heave for everything.

Does one understand this according to Biblical rules, or according to the rules of his colleagues? If you take it as referring to the biblical measure, Rebbi Yose cannot agree with the rabbis. If you take it as referring to the measure of his colleagues, Rebbi Yose agrees with the rabbis.

Does this not disagree with Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish? As Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, nobody may revoke his agency by words. Explain it that he said, go and fix it to the North and [the agent] went and fixed it to the South.

Rebbi Joḥanan said, one makes the vat impure the moment the press men went over it warp and woof. But have we not stated: “If workers gave heave from a vat, their heave is not heave. But if the vat was small or if the owners or others stir it, their heave is heave.” Because others stir it, but if others do not stir it, their heave would not be heave! What is this? One statement for wine, the other for oil. But are not wine and oil the same? Wine is frequently impure, oil is not.

It was stated: “When does one start to give heave from grapes? From the moment one went over it warp and woof. When does one start to make them impure? The House of Shammai say, after one removed second [tithe], the House of Hillel say, after one removed first [tithe]. Rebbi Yose said, practice should follow the House of Shammai but the public follow the House of Hillel. Rebbi Simeon says, the words of the House of Shammai were reasonable in the time of the Temple, the words of the House of Hillel are reasonable in the present time. But the Sages say unlike either of them, but that one removes heave and the heave of the tithe; then one may make it impure immediately.”

“When does one start to give heave from olives? Some Tannaїm state, when they have been ground, and some Tannaїm state, when they are being weighted. It is clear following him who says when they are being weighted. For him who says when they have been ground, did not Rebbi Joḥanan say, one makes the vat impure the moment the press men went over it warp and woof? This one is for wine, the other one for oil. Is not wine under the same rules as oil? What would be the difference between wine and oil? Wine is frequently impure, oil is not frequently impure. Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Ada said, both are frequently impure but impurity is found with wine more often than with oil.

“ Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Jehudah said, if he wishes he may bring olives, put them under the pounding stone, and tread on it. They said to him, olives cannot be compared to grapes. Grapes are soft and release the wine, olives are hard and do not release the oil.”
