## Pesachim Daf 46b

###### Pesachim 46b:1
[Pesachim 46b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/46b:1)

לֹא זֶה הוּא חָמֵץ שֶׁמּוּזְהָרִין עָלָיו בְּבַל יֵרָאֶה וּבְבַל יִמָּצֵא. אֶלָּא: מַפְרִישָׁתָהּ וּמַנִּיחָתָהּ עַד הָעֶרֶב, וְאִם הֶחְמִיצָה — הֶחְמִיצָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**This is not the leavened bread about which we are warned** with the prohibitions: **It shall not be seen, and: It shall not be found.** These prohibitions do not apply because the *ḥalla* does not actually belong to the owner of the dough; it is instead considered to be consecrated property. **Rather, she should separate** the *ḥalla* **and leave it until the evening; and if it becomes leavened,** then **it will become leavened,** but this is of no concern.


###### Pesachim 46b:2
[Pesachim 46b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/46b:2)

**גְּמָ׳** לֵימָא בְּטוֹבַת הֲנָאָה קָמִיפַּלְגִי. דְּרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר סָבַר: טוֹבַת הֲנָאָה מָמוֹן. וְרַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ סָבַר: טוֹבַת הֲנָאָה אֵינָהּ מָמוֹן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** The Gemara suggests: **Let us say** that the *tanna’im* **disagree with regard to benefit** of **discretion,** i.e., benefit accrued from the option of giving *ḥalla*, *teruma* and tithes to whichever priest or Levite one chooses. The Sages debated whether this benefit has monetary value and would constitute a form of ownership. **Rabbi Eliezer holds: Benefit** of **discretion is** considered to have **monetary** value. Therefore, one owns the *ḥalla* he separates, and he must be careful to prevent it from becoming leavened. However, **Rabbi Yehoshua holds: Benefit** of **discretion is not** considered to have **monetary** value. One does not own the *ḥalla*, and therefore he may allow it to become leavened.


###### Pesachim 46b:3
[Pesachim 46b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/46b:3)

לָא, דְּכוּלֵּי עָלְמָא סָבְרִי טוֹבַת הֲנָאָה אֵינָהּ מָמוֹן, וְהָכָא בְּ״הוֹאִיל״ קָמִיפַּלְגִי. דְּרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר סָבַר: אָמְרִינַן ״הוֹאִיל״, וְאִי בָּעֵי אִיתְּשִׁיל עֲלַהּ — מָמוֹנֵיהּ הוּא. וְרַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ סָבַר: לָא אָמְרִינַן ״הוֹאִיל״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara rejects this suggestion: **No, everyone holds** that **benefit** of **discretion is not** considered to have **monetary** value, **and here they disagree** with regard to the principle of: **Since, etc. As Rabbi Eliezer holds: We say** that **since, if he wants, he can ask** to have his separation of the *ḥalla* voided when he regrets having done so, **it is his property.** Even if one does not actually revoke the status of the *ḥalla*, the fact that the potential for such an action exists indicates that he still maintains a form of ownership of this dough. **And Rabbi Yehoshua holds: We do not say** that **since** he could theoretically revoke the status of the *ḥalla*, the dough is considered his. Consequently, he may leave it until the end of the Festival day without being concerned that it will become leavened.


###### Pesachim 46b:4
[Pesachim 46b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/46b:4)

אִיתְּמַר: הָאוֹפֶה מִיּוֹם טוֹב לְחוֹל, רַב חִסְדָּא אָמַר: לוֹקֶה, רַבָּה אָמַר: אֵינוֹ לוֹקֶה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Apropos the principle: Since, etc., the Gemara cites a related dispute. **It was stated** that the *amora’im* disagree with regard to **one who bakes** bread on **a Festival** day **for** use during **the week. Rav Ḥisda said: He is flogged** because he has desecrated the Festival. **Rabba said: He is not flogged.**


###### Pesachim 46b:5
[Pesachim 46b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/46b:5)

רַב חִסְדָּא אָמַר לוֹקֶה: לָא אָמְרִינַן ״הוֹאִיל וּמִיקַּלְעִי לֵיהּ אוֹרְחִים — חֲזֵי לֵיהּ״. רַבָּה אָמַר אֵינוֹ לוֹקֶה: אָמְרִינַן ״הוֹאִיל״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara explains the two opinions: **Rav Ḥisda said** that **he is flogged** because **we do not say** that **since guests** may **happen** to visit **him,** the bread is **fit for him** on the Festival day itself. **Rabba said** that **he is not flogged** because **we say** that **since** guests may visit him, the bread is considered to have been baked for use on the Festival day itself. Even if guests do not actually come, he has not desecrated the Festival.


###### Pesachim 46b:6
[Pesachim 46b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/46b:6)

אֲמַר לֵיהּ רַבָּה לְרַב חִסְדָּא: לְדִידָךְ דְּאָמְרַתְּ לָא אָמְרִינַן ״הוֹאִיל״, הֵיאַךְ אוֹפִין מִיּוֹם טוֹב לְשַׁבָּת? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: מִשּׁוּם עֵירוּבֵי תַּבְשִׁילִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabba said to Rav Ḥisda: According to you, who said that we do not say** the principle: **Since, etc., how** is it permitted to **bake** on **a Festival for Shabbat? He said to him:** One is permitted to bake on a Festival for Shabbat **due to the joining of cooked foods [*eiruv tavshilin*]** instituted by the Sages.


###### Pesachim 46b:7
[Pesachim 46b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/46b:7)

וּמִשּׁוּם עֵירוּבֵי תַּבְשִׁילִין שָׁרֵינַן אִיסּוּרָא דְּאוֹרָיְיתָא?! אֲמַר לֵיהּ: מִדְּאוֹרָיְיתָא צוֹרְכֵי שַׁבָּת נַעֲשִׂין בְּיוֹם טוֹב, וְרַבָּנַן הוּא דִּגְזַרוּ בֵּיהּ, גְּזֵירָה שֶׁמָּא יֹאמְרוּ אוֹפִין מִיּוֹם טוֹב אַף לְחוֹל. וְכֵיוָן דְּאַצְרְכוּהּ רַבָּנַן עֵירוּבֵי תַּבְשִׁילִין — אִית לֵיהּ הֶיכֵּירָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rabba responded: **Due to** the practice of **the joining of cooked foods,** which was instituted by the Sages, **may one permit a Torah prohibition?** Rav Ḥisda **said to him: By Torah** law, whatever one **needs** for **Shabbat** may **be done on a Festival,** and the prohibition against performing labor during the Festival does not apply to preparations for Shabbat. **It was the Sages who decreed** that one may not bake on a Festival for Shabbat, as **a decree lest** people **say** that **one may bake on the Festival even for** use during **the week. And since the Sages required a joining of cooked foods, one has a conspicuous marker** reminding him that baking on the Festival for Shabbat is permitted but baking on the Festival for a weekday is prohibited.


###### Pesachim 46b:8
[Pesachim 46b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/46b:8)

אֵיתִיבֵיהּ: בְּהֵמָה הַמְסוּכֶּנֶת, לֹא יִשְׁחוֹט אֶלָּא כְּדֵי שֶׁיָּכוֹל לֶאֱכוֹל הֵימֶנָּה כְּזַיִת צָלִי מִבְּעוֹד יוֹם. ״יָכוֹל לֶאֱכוֹל״ — אַף עַל גַּב דְּלָא בָּעֵי לְמֵיכַל. בִּשְׁלָמָא לְדִידִי, דְּאָמְרִי ״הוֹאִיל״: ״הוֹאִיל וְאִי בָּעֵי לְמֵיכַל מָצֵי אָכֵיל״ — מִשּׁוּם הָכִי יִשְׁחוֹט. אֶלָּא לְדִידָךְ, דְּאָמְרַתְּ לָא אָמְרִינַן ״הוֹאִיל״, אַמַּאי יִשְׁחוֹט?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rabba **raised an objection to** Rav Ḥisda’s opinion from a *baraita*: If one wishes to slaughter **a dangerously** ill **animal** before it dies on its own and becomes prohibited for consumption, **he may not slaughter** it on a Festival day **unless** there is enough time so that **he can eat an olive-bulk of it roasted while it is still day.** Rabba reads this statement precisely: The *baraita* stipulates that the slaughter is permitted if **one can eat** the meat while it is still day, **although he is not required to** actually **eat** the meat. **Granted, according to my** position, **that I said** that one may rely on the principle: **Since, etc.,** this ruling is reasonable. **Since if one wants to eat he may eat, due to that** reason alone **he may slaughter** the animal. **But** according to **you, who** said **that we do not say** the principle of: **Since, etc., why may he slaughter** such an animal?


###### Pesachim 46b:9
[Pesachim 46b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/46b:9)

אֲמַר לֵיהּ: מִשּׁוּם הֶפְסֵד מָמוֹנוֹ. וּמִשּׁוּם הֶפְסֵד מָמוֹנוֹ שָׁרֵינַן אִיסּוּרָא דְאוֹרָיְיתָא?!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rav Ḥisda **said to him:** He is permitted to slaughter the animal **due to** the **monetary loss** that would be incurred by not slaughtering it, and not due to the principle of: Since, etc. Rabba asked rhetorically: **Will we permit a Torah prohibition due to monetary loss?**


###### Pesachim 46b:10
[Pesachim 46b:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/46b:10)

אֲמַר לֵיהּ, אִין: מִשּׁוּם הֶפְסֵד מָמוֹנוֹ — גָּמַר בְּלִבּוֹ לֶאֱכוֹל כְּזַיִת, וְאִי אֶפְשָׁר לִכְזַיִת בָּשָׂר בְּלֹא שְׁחִיטָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rav Ḥisda **said to him: Yes,** although this factor on its own does not mitigate the prohibition. Rather, **due to** the **monetary loss** that would otherwise be incurred, **one decided to eat an olive-bulk** of the meat, although he does not need to. **And** since **it is impossible** to eat even **an olive-bulk of meat without slaughtering** the animal, one is permitted to slaughter the animal.


###### Pesachim 46b:11
[Pesachim 46b:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/46b:11)

אֵיתִיבֵיהּ: לֶחֶם הַפָּנִים

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rabba **raised** another **objection to him: The shewbread** in the Temple
