[Chullin 25b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/25b:1)

לָשׁוּף, לְשַׁבֵּץ, לְגָרֵר, לְכַרְכֵּר, לְהַקִּישׁ בְּקוּרְנָס. מְחוּסָּר כַּן אוֹ אוֹגֶן אוֹ אוֹזֶן – טָהוֹר, מְחוּסָּר כְּסוּי – טָמֵא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**to smooth, to set** gems or ornaments in it, **to plane** it, **to adorn** it, **to strike** it **with a hammer,** or if it is **lacking a base or a rim or a handle,** the vessel is **not susceptible to impurity.** If the vessel was complete and was **lacking a cover,** the vessel is susceptible to becoming **impure.**

[Chullin 25b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/25b:2)

מַאי שְׁנָא הָנֵי וּמַאי שְׁנָא הָנֵי? רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן אָמַר: הוֹאִיל וּלְכָבוֹד עֲשׂוּיִין. רַב נַחְמָן אָמַר: הוֹאִיל וּדְמֵיהֶן יְקָרִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **What is different** about **these** unfinished wooden vessels, with regard to which the *halakha* is that provided they are fit for use they are susceptible to impurity, **and what is different** about **those** unfinished metal vessels, with regard to which the *halakha* is that even if they are fit for use they are not susceptible to impurity until their crafting is complete? **Rabbi Yoḥanan said:** The difference is that **since** metal vessels **are crafted for** uses of **honor,** they are not considered vessels until their completion. **Rav Naḥman said:** The difference is that **since the worth of** metal vessels **is expensive,** they cannot be sold at that price unless they are complete.

[Chullin 25b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/25b:3)

מַאי בֵּינַיְיהוּ? אִיכָּא בֵּינַיְיהוּ כְּלֵי עֶצֶם, וְאַזְדָּא רַב נַחְמָן לְטַעְמֵיהּ, דְּאָמַר רַב נַחְמָן: כְּלֵי עֶצֶם כִּכְלֵי מַתָּכוֹת דָּמוּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **What is** the practical difference **between their** opinions? The Gemara answers: The difference **between them is** with regard to **bone vessels** crafted from horns, which are expensive but are not crafted for uses of honor. **And Rav Naḥman follows his** line of **reasoning, as Rav Naḥman says:** The halakhic status of **bone vessels** with regard to impurity is **like** that of **metal vessels.**

[Chullin 25b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/25b:4)

מִכְּלָל דִּכְלֵי עֶצֶם מְקַבְּלִי טוּמְאָה? אִין, דְּתַנְיָא: רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל בְּנוֹ שֶׁל רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן בֶּן בְּרוֹקָה אוֹמֵר: מָה תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר ״וְכׇל מַעֲשֵׂה עִזִּים תִּתְחַטָּאוּ״? לְהָבִיא דָּבָר הַבָּא מִן הָעִזִּים, מִן הַקַּרְנַיִם וּמִן הַטְּלָפַיִם. שְׁאָר בְּהֵמָה וְחַיָּה מִנַּיִן? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר ״וְכׇל מַעֲשֵׂה״. אִם כֵּן, מָה תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר ״עִזִּים״? פְּרָט לְעוֹפוֹת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: Is that to say **by inference that bone vessels are susceptible to ritual impurity?** The Gemara answers: **Yes, as it is taught** in a *baraita* that **Rabbi Yishmael, son of Rabbi Yoḥanan ben Beroka, says: What** is the meaning when **the verse states: “And all work of goats…you shall purify”** (Numbers 31:20)? It is **to include** vessels **that come from the goats, from the horns and from the hooves,** and indicate that they are susceptible to impurity. And **from where** is it derived that vessels that come from the horns and the hooves of **other domesticated animals and undomesticated animals** are susceptible to impurity? It is derived from the verse, as **the verse states: “And all work,”** where the term “all” is an amplification. **If so, why** must **the verse state: “Goats?”** It serves **to exclude birds,** as vessels crafted from the bones of birds are not susceptible to impurity.

**מַתְנִי׳** הַחַיָּיב בִּשְׁקֵדִים הַמָּרִים – פָּטוּר בַּמְּתוּקִים, הַחַיָּיב בַּמְּתוּקִים – פָּטוּר בַּמָּרִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** With regard to the obligation of separating *teruma* and tithes, the stage of development **that** is **obligated in bitter almonds** is **exempt in sweet** almonds; and the stage in development **that** is **obligated in sweet** almonds is **exempt in bitter** almonds.

**גְּמָ׳** תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: שְׁקֵדִים הַמָּרִים, קְטַנִּים – חַיָּיבִין, גְּדוֹלִים – פְּטוּרִין. מְתוּקִים, גְּדוֹלִים – חַיָּיבִין, קְטַנִּים – פְּטוּרִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** **The Sages taught** in explanation of the mishna: In the case of **bitter almonds,** when they are **small** one is **obligated** to separate *teruma* and tithes, as they are not yet bitter and are fit for consumption; when they are **large** one is **exempt** from separating *teruma* and tithes, because they are bitter and unfit for consumption. In the case of **sweet** almonds, when they are **large** one is **obligated** to separate *teruma* and tithes, because the almonds are ripe and fit for consumption; when they are **small** one is **exempt** from separating *teruma* and tithes, because they are not fit for consumption.

רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל בְּרַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר מִשּׁוּם אָבִיו: זֶה וָזֶה לִפְטוּר, וְאָמְרִי לַהּ: זֶה וָזֶה לְחִיּוּב. אָמַר רַבִּי אִלְעָא: הוֹרָה רַבִּי חֲנִינָא בְּצִפּוֹרִי כְּדִבְרֵי הָאוֹמֵר זֶה וָזֶה לִפְטוּר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
With regard to bitter almonds, **Rabbi Yishmael, son of Rabbi Yosei, says in the name of his father to exempt** both **this** small almond **and that** large almond. **And some say to obligate** both **this** small almond **and that** large almond. **Rabbi Ela said: Rabbi Ḥanina issued a ruling in Tzippori in accordance with the statement of the one who says to exempt** both **this** small almond **and that** large almond.

וּלְמַאן דְּאָמַר זֶה וָזֶה לְחִיּוּב, גְּדוֹלִים לְמַאי חֲזוּ? אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: הוֹאִיל וְיָכוֹל לְמַתְּקָן עַל יְדֵי הָאוּר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **And according to the one who says to obligate** both **this** small almond **and that** large almond, **for what** use **are** the **large** almonds **fit?** They are bitter and unfit for consumption. **Rabbi Yoḥanan said: Since one can sweeten them by means of** roasting them on **the fire,** this renders them fit for consumption.

**מַתְנִי׳** הַתֶּמֶד, עַד שֶׁלֹּא הֶחְמִיץ – אֵינוֹ נִיקָּח בְּכֶסֶף מַעֲשֵׂר, וּפוֹסֵל אֶת הַמִּקְוֶה. מִשֶּׁהֶחְמִיץ – נִיקָּח בְּכֶסֶף מַעֲשֵׂר, וְאֵינוֹ פּוֹסֵל אֶת הַמִּקְוֶה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** ***Temed*,** a beverage produced from grape residue soaked in water, **until it fermented, may not be purchased with** second-**tithe money** to be drunk in Jerusalem, because it is not wine. **And** if three *log* of it fall into a ritual bath, its halakhic status is that of drawn water and **it invalidates the ritual bath. Once it fermented, it** is wine, and therefore it **may be purchased with** second-**tithe money and it does not invalidate the ritual bath.**

הָאַחִין הַשּׁוּתָּפִין, כְּשֶׁחַיָּיבִין בַּקָּלְבּוֹן – פְּטוּרִין מִמַּעְשַׂר בְּהֵמָה; כְּשֶׁחַיָּיבִין בְּמַעְשַׂר בְּהֵמָה – פְּטוּרִין מִן הַקָּלְבּוֹן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
With regard to **brothers who are partners** in the inheritance of their father, **when they are obligated to** add **the premium [*kalbon*]** to their annual half-shekel payment to the Temple, **they are exempt from animal tithe; when they are obligated to** separate **animal tithe, they are exempt from** adding **the premium.** Partners who pay the half-shekel are required to add the premium and are exempt from animal tithe. If they are not true partners, but their inheritance remains the property of the father, the sons are exempt from paying the premium, and they are obligated to separate animal tithe.

**גְּמָ׳** מַנִּי מַתְנִיתִין? לָא רַבִּי יְהוּדָה וְלָא רַבָּנַן, דְּתַנְיָא: הַמְתַמֵּד וְנָתַן מַיִם בַּמִּדָּה וּמָצָא כְּדֵי מִדָּתוֹ – פָּטוּר, וְרַבִּי יְהוּדָה מְחַיֵּיב.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** With regard to *temed*, the Gemara asks: **Whose** opinion is expressed in **the mishna?** Ostensibly, it is **neither** the opinion of **Rabbi Yehuda nor** the opinion of **the Rabbis, as it is taught** in a mishna (*Ma’asrot* 5:6): With regard to **one who prepares *temed*** by placing water over grape byproducts, **and he placed** a certain **measure of water, and** when measuring the finished product **he found** its measure **equivalent to** the **measure** of water that he placed, he is **exempt** from the obligation of tithing it, as although it tastes like wine, there is nothing in it but water. **And Rabbi Yehuda obligates** him to tithe it because the taste determines that it is wine.

מַנִּי? אִי רַבָּנַן – אַף עַל גַּב דְּהֶחְמִיץ, אִי רַבִּי יְהוּדָה – אַף עַל גַּב דְּלֹא הֶחְמִיץ! אָמַר רַב נַחְמָן אָמַר רַבָּה בַּר אֲבוּהּ:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Whose** opinion is expressed in the mishna? **If** it is the opinion of **the Rabbis,** then if there is no more than the initial measure of water that he placed, he should be exempt **even if it fermented. If** it is the opinion of **Rabbi Yehuda,** he holds that one is obligated **even if it did not ferment,** as taste is his sole criterion. **Rav Naḥman said** that **Rabba bar Avuh said:**
