דְּאִיפְּקַעָה לְאוּרְכַּהּ, אִידְּרִי הָהוּא גּוֹי חַבְּקַהּ, שַׁרְיַיהּ רַפְרָם בַּר פָּפָּא, וְאִי תֵּימָא רַב הוּנָא בְּרֵיהּ דְּרַב יְהוֹשֻׁעַ, לְזַבּוֹנֵי לְגוֹיִם. וְהָנֵי מִילֵּי דִּפְקַעָה לְאוּרְכַּהּ, אֲבָל לְפוּתְיַיהּ — אֲפִילּוּ בִּשְׁתִיָּה שְׁרֵי. מַאי טַעְמָא? מַעֲשֵׂה לְבֵינָה קָעָבֵיד.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**that split lengthwise** from top to bottom, and **a certain gentile jumped up** and **encircled it** with his arms in order to prevent the wine from spilling. **Rafram bar Pappa, and some say** it was **Rav Huna, son of Rav Yehoshua, deemed it permitted to sell** the wine **to gentiles,** as the wine was rendered prohibited only for drinking but not with regard to deriving benefit. The Gemara notes: **This statement** applies only in a case **where it split lengthwise. But** where the barrel split **widthwise** and the gentile held the top and bottom halves together, it is **permitted even for drinking. What is the reason** that the wine is permitted? The gentile **is** merely **performing the action of a brick** by weighing the barrel down, and he is not doing anything to the wine.

הָהוּא גּוֹי דְּאִשְׁתְּכַח דַּהֲוָה קָאֵי בְּמַעְצַרְתָּא, אָמַר רַב אָשֵׁי: אִי אִיכָּא טוֹפֵחַ לְהַטְפִּיחַ — בָּעֵי הַדָּחָה וּבָעֵי נִיגּוּב, וְאִי לָא — בְּהַדָּחָה בְּעָלְמָא סַגִּי לֵיהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara relates: There was **a certain gentile who was found standing in a winepress. Rav Ashi said: If there is** enough wine in the winepress that it is **moist** enough **to moisten** other items, the winepress **requires rinsing and requires** a more thorough **cleansing,** as the Gemara will explain (74b). **But if** there is **not** enough wine to moisten other items, **merely rinsing is sufficient for it.**

[Avodah Zarah 60b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/60b:3)

**מַתְנִי׳** נׇכְרִי שֶׁנִּמְצָא עוֹמֵד בְּצַד הַבּוֹר שֶׁל יַיִן, אִם יֵשׁ לוֹ מִלְוָה עָלָיו — אָסוּר, אֵין לוֹ מִלְוָה עָלָיו — מוּתָּר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** In the case of **a gentile who was found standing next to the wine** collection **vat, if there is a loan** owed **by** the owner of the wine vat **to** the gentile, the wine is **prohibited.** Since the gentile maintains that he has a right to the owner’s property he has no compunctions about touching the wine. But if **there is no loan** owed **by** the owner of the wine vat **to** the gentile, the wine is **permitted,** as it is assumed that the gentile did not touch the wine that was not his.

נָפַל לַבּוֹר וְעָלָה, מְדָדוֹ בְּקָנֶה, הִתִּיז אֶת הַצִּרְעָה בְּקָנֶה, אוֹ שֶׁהָיָה מְטַפֵּיחַ עַל פִּי חָבִית מְרוּתַּחַת — בְּכׇל אֵלּוּ הָיָה מַעֲשֶׂה וְאָמְרוּ: יִמָּכֵר, וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן מַתִּיר. נָטַל אֶת הֶחָבִית וּזְרָקָהּ בַּחֲמָתוֹ לַבּוֹר, זֶה הָיָה מַעֲשֶׂה וְהִכְשִׁירוּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
If a gentile **fell into the** wine collection **vat and emerged** from it, or if **he measured** the wine in the winepress **with a pole** without touching it with his hands, or if **he cast a hornet** out of the wine **by** means of **a pole** and the pole touched the wine, **or where** the gentile **was removing the foam** that was **on** the **top of a fermenting barrel** of wine; **with regard to all these** cases **there was** such **an incident. And** the Sages **said** that the wine **may be sold** to gentiles, as it is permitted to derive benefit from the wine, but not to drink it. **And Rabbi Shimon deems** the wine **permitted** even for drinking. In a case where a gentile **took the barrel** of wine **and threw it, in his anger, into the** wine collection **vat, this was an incident** that occurred **and** the Sages **deemed** the wine **fit** for drinking.

**גְּמָ׳** אָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל: וְהוּא שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ מִלְוָה עַל אוֹתוֹ יַיִן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** The mishna teaches that in the case of a gentile who was found standing next to a wine collection vat, if the owner of the vat owes money to the gentile the wine is prohibited. **Shmuel says: And this** *halakha* applies only **when** the **loan** includes the qualification that the gentile **has** a lien **on that wine,** as only then does the gentile feel that he is entitled to touch the wine.

[Avodah Zarah 60b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/60b:6)

אָמַר רַב אָשֵׁי: מַתְנִיתִין נָמֵי דַּיְקָא, דִּתְנַן: הַמְטַהֵר יֵינוֹ שֶׁל נׇכְרִי וְנוֹתְנוֹ בִּרְשׁוּתוֹ, וְהַלָּה כּוֹתֵב לוֹ: ״הִתְקַבַּלְתִּי מִמְּךָ מָעוֹת״ — מוּתָּר, אֲבָל אִם יִרְצֶה יִשְׂרָאֵל לְהוֹצִיאוֹ וְאֵין מַנִּיחוֹ עַד שֶׁיִּתֵּן לוֹ מְעוֹתָיו, זֶה הָיָה מַעֲשֶׂה בְּבֵית שְׁאָן וְאָסְרוּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Ashi said:** The wording of **the mishna is also precise** according to Shmuel’s interpretation, **as we learned** in the following mishna (61a): In the case of a Jew **who renders the wine of a gentile permitted** by treading the gentile’s grapes so that the wine can be sold to Jews, **and he** then **places** the wine **in** the gentile’s **domain** until he sells it, the *halakha* depends on the circumstances. If **that one,** the gentile, **writes for** the Jew: **I received money from you** in payment for the wine, even though he did not yet receive the actual payment, the wine is **permitted.** This is because the wine is considered the Jew’s property and there is no reason to suppose that the gentile might touch it. **But** in a case **where the Jew desires to remove** the wine **and** the gentile **does not allow him** to do so **until** the Jew **gives him the money** due to **him, this was an incident** that occurred **in Beit She’an and** the Sages **deemed** the wine **prohibited.**


###### Avodah Zarah 60b:7
[Avodah Zarah 60b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/60b:7)

טַעְמָא דְּאֵין מַנִּיחוֹ, הָא מַנִּיחוֹ שְׁרֵי, שְׁמַע מִינַּהּ: מִלְוָה עַל אוֹתוֹ יַיִן בָּעֵינַן. שְׁמַע מִינַּהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rav Ashi explains: **The reason** that the wine is prohibited is **that** the gentile **does not allow** the Jew to remove the wine, and therefore the gentile is considered to have some degree of ownership of the wine. **Therefore,** one can infer that if the gentile **allows him** to remove the wine, the wine is **permitted,** even though the Jew still owes him money. One may **conclude from** the mishna that in order for the wine to be prohibited **we require** the **loan** to include the qualification that the gentile has a lien **on that wine.** The Gemara affirms: One **may conclude** Shmuel’s principle **from** the mishna.

[Avodah Zarah 60b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/60b:8)

נָפַל לַבּוֹר וְעָלָה. אָמַר רַב פָּפָּא: לֹא שָׁנוּ אֶלָּא שֶׁעָלָה מֵת, אֲבָל עָלָה חַי — אָסוּר. מַאי טַעְמָא? אָמַר רַב פָּפָּא: דְּדָמֵי עֲלֵיהּ כְּיוֹם אֵידָם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The mishna teaches that if a gentile **fell into the** wine collection **vat and emerged,** it is not prohibited to derive benefit from the wine. **Rav Pappa says:** The Sages **taught** this *halakha* **only** in a case **where** the gentile **emerged** from the vat **dead. But** if he **emerged alive,** the wine is **prohibited.** The Gemara asks: **What is the reason** that the wine is prohibited? **Rav Pappa said: Since** the gentile was rescued from death, **he considers** that day **like their festival day,** and he offers the wine as an idolatrous libation in thanksgiving.

מְדָדוֹ בְּקָנֶה וְכוּ׳. כׇּל אֵלּוּ הָיָה מַעֲשֶׂה וְאָמְרוּ: יִמָּכֵר, וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן מַתִּיר. אָמַר רַב אַדָּא בַּר אַהֲבָה: יָנוּחוּ לוֹ לְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בְּרָכוֹת עַל רֹאשׁוֹ, כְּשֶׁהוּא מַתִּיר — מַתִּיר אֲפִילּוּ בִּשְׁתִיָּה, וּכְשֶׁהוּא אוֹסֵר — אוֹסֵר אֲפִילּוּ בַּהֲנָאָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The mishna teaches that if a gentile **measured** the wine in the winepress **with a pole,** or if he cast a hornet out of the wine by means of a pole, or if he removed the foam on top of a fermenting barrel of wine, with regard to **all these** cases **there was** such **an incident, and** the Sages **said** that the wine **may be sold** to gentiles but one may not drink it. **And Rabbi Shimon deems** the wine **permitted** even for drinking. **Rav Adda bar Ahava says: May blessings rest upon Rabbi Shimon’s head,** as his reasoning is clear. **When he deems** the wine **permitted, he deems** it **permitted even with regard to drinking, and when he deems** the wine **prohibited, he deems** it **prohibited even with regard to** deriving **benefit** from it.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Ḥiyya, son of Abba bar Naḥmani, says** that **Rav Ḥisda says** that **Rav says, and some say** that **Rav Ḥisda says** that **Ze’eiri says:** The ***halakha*** is **in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Shimon. There are** those **who say** that **Rav Ḥisda says: Abba bar Ḥanan said to me: This** is what **Ze’eiri says:** The ***halakha*** is **in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Shimon.** Despite this, the Gemara concludes: **But** the ***halakha*** is **not in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Shimon.**

נָטַל חָבִית וּזְרָקָהּ [בַּחֲמָתוֹ] לַבּוֹר, זֶה הָיָה מַעֲשֶׂה [וְהִכְשִׁירוּ]. אָמַר רַב אָשֵׁי: כׇּל שֶׁבַּזָּב טָמֵא בְּגוֹי עוֹשֶׂה יֵין נֶסֶךְ, כָּל שֶׁבַּזָּב טָהוֹר בְּגוֹי אֵינוֹ עוֹשֶׂה יֵין נֶסֶךְ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The mishna teaches: With regard to the case where a gentile **took a barrel** of wine **and threw it, in his anger, into the** wine collection **vat, this was an incident** that occurred **and** the Sages **deemed** the wine **fit** for drinking. **Rav Ashi says:** With regard to **any** form of contact **through which a *zav*** renders an object **ritually impure, in** a case where **a gentile** has that same type of contact with wine, he **renders** it **wine** used for **a libation.** In the case of **any** form of contact **through which a *zav*** does not transmit ritual impurity, leaving an object **ritually pure, a gentile does not render** the wine with which he has contact **wine** used for **a libation.**

אֵיתִיבֵיהּ רַב הוּנָא לְרַב אָשֵׁי: נָטַל אֶת הֶחָבִית וּזְרָקָהּ בַּחֲמָתוֹ לַבּוֹר, זֶה הָיָה מַעֲשֶׂה בְּבֵית שְׁאָן וְהִכְשִׁירוּ. בַּחֲמָתוֹ — אִין, שֶׁלֹּא בַּחֲמָתוֹ — לָא!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Huna raised an objection to Rav Ashi** from the mishna: With regard to the case where a gentile **took the barrel** of wine **and threw it, in his anger, into the** wine collection **vat, this was an incident** that occurred **in Beit She’an and** the Sages **deemed** the wine **fit** for drinking. One may infer that if the gentile threw the wine **in his anger, yes,** it is permitted. But if it was **not in his anger** the wine is **not** permitted, even though in the case of a *zav*, if he threw an object at a vessel, it does not render the vessel impure.
