## Beitzah Daf 33a

###### Beitzah 33a:1
[Beitzah 33a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Beitzah/r/33a:1)

וְכֵן בֵּיעֲתָא, וְכֵן קְדֵרָה, וְכֵן פּוּרְיָא, וְכֵן חָבִיתָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And similarly,** if one wishes to place **eggs** on the mouth of a hollow vessel or on a grill sitting above coals, he must first hold the vessel in his hands and put the eggs on it, and only afterward position them both on the coals. **And similarly,** with regard to **a pot** placed on barrels, one must hold the pot above the barrels before placing them underneath it. **And similarly,** in the case of a collapsible **bed,** whose legs and cover are separate pieces, one must first stretch the upper part, then add the legs. **And similarly,** in the case of **barrels** positioned one on top of the other, the upper one must be held in place first and then the others added below.


###### Beitzah 33a:2
[Beitzah 33a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Beitzah/r/33a:2)

וְאֵין סוֹמְכִין אֶת הַקְּדֵרָה בַּבְּקַעַת, וְכֵן בַּדֶּלֶת. בַּדֶּלֶת סָלְקָא דַּעְתָּךְ?! אֶלָּא אֵימָא: וְכֵן הַדֶּלֶת. תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: אֵין סוֹמְכִין אֶת הַקְּדֵרָה בַּבְּקַעַת, וְכֵן הַדֶּלֶת, לְפִי שֶׁלֹּא נִתְּנוּ עֵצִים אֶלָּא לְהַסָּקָה. וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן מַתִּיר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ It was taught in the mishna: **And one may not prop a pot with a piece of wood, and similarly a door.** The Gemara asks: **With regard to a door,** can this **enter your mind?** Is it possible to prop a pot by means of a door? **Rather, say** and correct the wording as follows: **And similarly,** one may not prop **a door** with a piece of wood. **The Sages taught: One may not prop a pot with a piece of wood, and similarly a door, as wood is** to be used **only for kindling.** With regard to any use other than kindling, wood is considered *muktze*. **And Rabbi Shimon,** who does not accept the prohibition of *muktze*, **permits** it.


###### Beitzah 33a:3
[Beitzah 33a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Beitzah/r/33a:3)

וְאֵין מַנְהִיגִין אֶת הַבְּהֵמָה בַּמַּקֵּל בְּיוֹם טוֹב, וְרַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בְּרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן מַתִּיר. לֵימָא רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בְּרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן כַּאֲבוּהּ סְבִירָא לֵיהּ, דְּלֵית לֵיהּ מוּקְצֶה? לָא, בְּהָא אֲפִילּוּ רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן מוֹדֶה, מִשּׁוּם דְּמִחֲזֵי כְּמַאן דְּאָזֵיל לְחִנְגָּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The *baraita* continues: **And one may not lead an animal with a stick on a Festival, but Rabbi Elazar, son of Rabbi Shimon, permits** it. The Gemara asks: **Shall we say** that **Rabbi Elazar, son of Rabbi Shimon, holds in accordance with** the opinion of **his father,** Rabbi Shimon, **who is not** of the opinion that there is a prohibition of ***muktze*,** and he therefore permits one to take any stick and lead an animal with it? The Gemara rejects this: **No,** there is no issue of *muktze* here at all, for in **this** case **even Rabbi Shimon concedes** to the first *tanna* that this activity is prohibited, not due to *muktze* but **because** one who does so **looks like one who is going to the market [*ḥinga*]** in the manner of a weekday. On a Festival, one must therefore lead the animal in an unusual fashion.


###### Beitzah 33a:4
[Beitzah 33a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Beitzah/r/33a:4)

חִזְרָא, רַב נַחְמָן אָסַר, וְרַב שֵׁשֶׁת שָׁרֵי. בְּרַטִּיבָא — כּוּלֵּי עָלְמָא לָא פְּלִיגִי דְּאָסוּר. כִּי פְּלִיגִי — בְּיַבִּשְׁתָּא. מַאן דְּאָסַר, אָמַר לָךְ: לֹא נִתְּנוּ עֵצִים אֶלָּא לְהַסָּקָה. וּמַאן דְּשָׁרֵי, אָמַר לָךְ: מָה לִי לִצְלוֹת בּוֹ, מָה לִי לִצְלוֹת בְּגַחַלְתּוֹ?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ In a case where one takes **a bamboo** branch to use as a skewer, **Rav Naḥman prohibits it** because it is *muktze*, since it was not made into a vessel the day before, **and Rav Sheshet permits it.** The Gemara elaborates: In the case **of a wet** branch, **everyone agrees** that it is **prohibited;** it is unfit for kindling and is therefore *muktze*. **When they disagree,** it is in the case **of a dry** branch. **The one** who **prohibits** handling it, Rav Naḥman, could have **said to you: Wood is only for kindling,** but it is considered *muktze* with regard to any other use. **And the one** who **permits** handling it, Rav Sheshet, could have **said to you:** Since all wood is to be used for roasting, **what is it to me to roast with it** when it is inserted into meat? **What is it to me to roast with its coals?** Just as it is permitted to burn the bamboo as coal, so it is permitted to use it as a skewer for cooking.


###### Beitzah 33a:5
[Beitzah 33a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Beitzah/r/33a:5)

אִיכָּא דְּאָמְרִי: בְּיַבִּשְׁתָּא — כּוּלֵּי עָלְמָא לָא פְּלִיגִי דִּשְׁרֵי. כִּי פְּלִיגִי — בְּרַטִּיבְתָּא. מַאן דְּאָסַר, דְּלָא חֲזֵי לְהַסָּקָה, וּמַאן דְּשָׁרֵי אָמַר לָךְ: הָא חֲזֵי לְהֶיסֵּק גָּדוֹל. וְהִלְכְתָא: יַבִּשְׁתָּא שְׁרֵי, רַטִּיבְתָּא אֲסִיר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Some say** a different version of the explanation of this dispute: **In the case of a dry** branch, **everyone agrees** that it is **permitted; when they disagree,** it is **in the case of a wet** one. **The one** who **prohibits** handling it does so because **it is not fit for kindling. And the one** who **permits** it could have **said to you: Isn’t it** at least **fit for a large fire,** which will dry out the branch and enable it to burn as well? The Gemara concludes: **And the *halakha*** is that **a dry** one **is permitted** and **a wet** one **is prohibited.**


###### Beitzah 33a:6
[Beitzah 33a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Beitzah/r/33a:6)

דָּרֵשׁ רָבָא: אִשָּׁה לֹא תִּכָּנֵס לְדִיר הָעֵצִים לִיטּוֹל מֵהֶן אוּד. וְאוּד שֶׁנִּשְׁבַּר — אָסוּר לְהַסִּיקוֹ בְּיוֹם טוֹב, לְפִי שֶׁמַּסִּיקִין בְּכֵלִים, וְאֵין מַסִּיקִין בְּשִׁבְרֵי כֵלִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rava taught: A woman may not enter a storehouse of wood** in order **to take from them a firebrand,** a partly burnt piece of wood used for turning over the wood of the bonfire, because this piece of wood was not made into a vessel the day before and it is therefore *muktze*. **And a firebrand that broke may not be kindled on a Festival, for one may kindle** fire **with vessels but one may not kindle** fire **with shards of vessels,** and this firebrand was considered a vessel before it broke.


###### Beitzah 33a:7
[Beitzah 33a:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Beitzah/r/33a:7)

לְמֵימְרָא דְּרָבָא כְּרַבִּי יְהוּדָה סְבִירָא לֵיהּ, דְּאִית לֵיהּ מוּקְצֶה? וְהָא אֲמַר לֵיהּ רָבָא לְשַׁמָּעֵיהּ: טְוִי לִי בַּר אֲווֹזָא וּשְׁדִי מְעֵיהּ לְשׁוּנָּרָא! הָתָם כֵּיוָן דְּמַסְרְחִי — מֵאֶתְמוֹל דַּעְתֵּיהּ עִלָּוֵיהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **Is that to say that** in this case **Rava holds in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Yehuda, who is** of the opinion that there is a prohibition of ***muktze*? But didn’t Rava say to his attendant: Roast a duck for me, and throw its innards** to the cat? According to Rabbi Yehuda, it is prohibited to give the innards to animals, as they were not prepared for this purpose the day before. The Gemara answers: **There, since** the innards **become rancid** when they were left, **from yesterday,** the Festival eve, **his mind was on them.** At that point in time, he already intended to give them to the cats in his house.


###### Beitzah 33a:8
[Beitzah 33a:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Beitzah/r/33a:8)

**מַתְנִי׳** רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: נוֹטֵל אָדָם קֵיסָם מִשֶּׁלְּפָנָיו, לַחְצוֹץ בּוֹ שִׁינָּיו. וּמְגַבֵּב מִן הֶחָצֵר וּמַדְלִיק, שֶׁכׇּל מַה שֶּׁבֶּחָצֵר — מוּכָן הוּא. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: מְגַבֵּב מִשֶּׁלְּפָנָיו וּמַדְלִיק.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** **Rabbi Eliezer says:** On a Festival, **a person may remove a sliver** from a pile of straw or from similar material **that is before him, in order to clean with it** between **his teeth. And he may collect** straw **from a courtyard and kindle** it, **for anything in a courtyard is** considered **prepared** for all purposes. **The Rabbis say: He may collect** these materials only **from** things placed **before him** in his house, as they are certainly prepared for all uses, **and kindle** them. With regard to objects lying in his courtyard, however, as their collection takes great effort, he certainly did not have them in mind the day before, and they are therefore *muktze*.


###### Beitzah 33a:9
[Beitzah 33a:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Beitzah/r/33a:9)

אֵין מוֹצִיאִין אֶת הָאוּר לֹא מִן הָעֵצִים, וְלֹא מִן הָאֲבָנִים, וְלֹא מִן הֶעָפָר וְלֹא מִן הָרְעָפִים, וְלֹא מִן הַמַּיִם. וְאֵין מְלַבְּנִין אֶת הָרְעָפִים לִצְלוֹת בָּהֶן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The mishna states a different *halakha*: **One may not produce fire, neither from wood,** by rubbing one piece against another; **nor from stones** knocked against each other; **nor from** hot **dirt; nor from tiles** struck against each other; **nor from water** placed in round, glass vessels, which produces fire by focusing the rays of the sun. **And** similarly, **one may not whiten tiles** with a burning-hot heat in order **to roast upon them** afterward.
