###### Shabbat 138a:1
[Shabbat 138a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/138a:1)

אֶלָּא אָמַר אַבָּיֵי: מִדְּרַבָּנַן הִיא, שֶׁלֹּא יַעֲשֶׂה כְּדֶרֶךְ שֶׁהוּא עוֹשֶׂה בַּחוֹל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rather, Abaye said: It is a rabbinic** decree issued so **that one will not conduct** himself on Shabbat **in the manner that he conducts** himself **during the week.**


###### Shabbat 138a:2
[Shabbat 138a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/138a:2)

מְנַקֵּיט אַבָּיֵי חוּמְרֵי מַתְנְיָתָא וְתָנֵי: הַגּוֹד וְהַמְשַׁמֶּרֶת, כִּילָּה וְכִסֵּא גַלִּין — לֹא יַעֲשֶׂה, וְאִם עָשָׂה — פָּטוּר אֲבָל אָסוּר. אׇהֳלֵי קְבַע — לֹא יַעֲשֶׂה, וְאִם עָשָׂה — חַיָּיב חַטָּאת. אֲבָל מִטָּה וְכִסֵּא טְרַסְקָל וְאַסְלָא — מוּתָּר לִנְטוֹתָן לְכַתְּחִילָּה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Abaye would consolidate the principles of the *baraitot*** pertaining to the construction of a tent on Shabbat **and teach:** With regard to **a large wineskin, a** wine **strainer, a canopy** hung over a bed, **and a folding chair** whose cover is detached from its legs, **one may not assemble** them due to the prohibition against making a temporary tent. **If one did** so unwittingly, **he is exempt** by Torah law from bringing a sin-offering, **but** it is **prohibited** by rabbinic decree. With regard to **permanent tents, one may not make** them, **and if he did** so, **he is liable to** bring **a sin-offering** for performing the prohibited labor of building. **However,** with regard to **a bed, and a folding chair [*teraskal*]** whose cover is attached to its legs, **and a** collapsible **toilet, it is permissible to open them *ab initio*,** since they are prepared for use from before Shabbat.


###### Shabbat 138a:3
[Shabbat 138a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/138a:3)

וְאֵין נוֹתְנִין לַתְּלוּיָה בַּשַּׁבָּת. אִיבַּעְיָא לְהוּ: שִׁימֵּר מַאי? אָמַר רַב כָּהֲנָא: שִׁימֵּר — חַיָּיב חַטָּאת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
We also learned in the mishna: **One may not place** wine for filtering even **into** a **suspended** strainer **on Shabbat. A dilemma was raised before** the Sages: If **one strained** wine, **what** is the *halakha*? **Rav Kahana said:** If **one strained** wine, **he is liable to** bring **a sin-offering.**


###### Shabbat 138a:4
[Shabbat 138a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/138a:4)

מַתְקֵיף לַהּ רַב שֵׁשֶׁת: מִי אִיכָּא מִידֵּי דְּרַבָּנַן מְחַיְּיבִי חַטָּאת, וְרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר שָׁרֵי לְכַתְּחִילָּה?!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Sheshet strongly objects to this: Is there something for which the Rabbis render one liable** to bring **a sin-offering and Rabbi Eliezer permits** its performance ***ab initio*?** Extreme differences of opinion of that kind are rarely found in one mishna.


###### Shabbat 138a:5
[Shabbat 138a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/138a:5)

מַתְקֵיף לַהּ רַב יוֹסֵף: אַלְּמָה לָא? הֲרֵי עִיר שֶׁל זָהָב, דְּרַבִּי מֵאִיר מְחַיֵּיב חַטָּאת, וְרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר שָׁרֵי לְכַתְּחִילָּה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Yosef strongly objects to** this question: **Why not? Isn’t** there an analogous dispute with regard to a woman who wears **a city of gold** ornament from one domain to another on Shabbat, **as Rabbi Meir renders** her **liable** to bring **a sin-offering, and Rabbi Eliezer permits** it even ***ab initio*?**


###### Shabbat 138a:6
[Shabbat 138a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/138a:6)

מַאי הִיא — דְּתַנְיָא: לֹא תֵּצֵא אִשָּׁה בְּעִיר שֶׁל זָהָב, וְאִם יָצְאָה — חַיֶּיבֶת חַטָּאת, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: לֹא תֵּצֵא, וְאִם יָצְאָה פְּטוּרָה. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: יוֹצְאָה אִשָּׁה בְּעִיר שֶׁל זָהָב לְכַתְּחִילָּה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**What is** that dispute? **As it was taught** in a *baraita*: **A woman may not go out** into the public domain on Shabbat **with a city of gold** ornament. **And if she did go out** with it into the public domain, **she is liable to bring a sin-offering;** this is **the statement of Rabbi Meir. And the Rabbis say: She may not go out** with it *ab initio*, **and if she went out, she is exempt. And Rabbi Eliezer says: A woman may go out with a city of gold** ornament ***ab initio*.** Apparently, there is precedent for a dispute in which one opinion maintains that an action incurs liability to bring a sin-offering, while another opinion rules that it is permitted *ab initio*.


###### Shabbat 138a:7
[Shabbat 138a:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/138a:7)

אֲמַר לֵיהּ אַבָּיֵי: מִי סָבְרַתְּ רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אַדְּרַבִּי מֵאִיר קָאֵי, דְּאָמַר חַיֶּיבֶת חַטָּאת? אַדְּרַבָּנַן קָאֵי, דְּאָמְרִי פָּטוּר אֲבָל אָסוּר, וַאֲמַר לְהוּ אִיהוּ מוּתָּר לְכַתְּחִילָּה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Abaye said to** Rav Yosef: **Do you hold that Rabbi Eliezer is relating to** the statement of **Rabbi Meir, who said** that **she is liable** to bring **a sin-offering? He is relating to** the statement of **the Rabbis, who said one is exempt but it is prohibited, and he said to them** that he holds that it is **permitted *ab initio*.** Had there not been the intermediate opinion of the Rabbis, an argument with such extreme opinions would not have been possible.


###### Shabbat 138a:8
[Shabbat 138a:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/138a:8)

מִשּׁוּם מַאי מַתְרִינַן בֵּיהּ? רַבָּה אָמַר: מִשּׁוּם בּוֹרֵר. רַבִּי זֵירָא אָמַר: מִשּׁוּם מְרַקֵּד.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: One is liable to bring a sin-offering for straining. **Due to** performance of **what** category of prohibited labor **do we forewarn him? Rabba said:** It is **for** the category of **selecting,** as one is selecting the wine from the sediment. **Rabbi Zeira said:** It is **for** the category of **sifting,** as straining is similar to sifting flour in a sifter, which is a form of selecting.


###### Shabbat 138a:9
[Shabbat 138a:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/138a:9)

אָמַר רַבָּה, כְּווֹתִי דִּידִי מִסְתַּבְּרָא: מָה דַּרְכּוֹ שֶׁל בּוֹרֵר — נוֹטֵל אוֹכֵל וּמַנִּיחַ הַפְּסוֹלֶת, אַף הָכָא נָמֵי: נוֹטֵל אֶת הָאוֹכֵל וּמַנִּיחַ אֶת הַפְּסוֹלֶת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabba said: According to my opinion, it is reasonable. What is the manner of one who selects?** He **takes** the **food and leaves the refuse; here too,** when straining wine, **one takes the food and leaves the refuse.**


###### Shabbat 138a:10
[Shabbat 138a:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/138a:10)

אָמַר רַבִּי זֵירָא, כְּווֹתִי דִּידִי מִסְתַּבְּרָא: מָה דַּרְכּוֹ שֶׁל מְרַקֵּד — פְּסוֹלֶת מִלְּמַעְלָה וְאוֹכֶל מִלְּמַטָּה, אַף הָכָא נָמֵי: פְּסוֹלֶת מִלְּמַעְלָה וְאוֹכֶל מִלְּמַטָּה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Zeira said: According to my opinion,** that this is not typical selection but rather a specific type of selection, **it is reasonable,** as **what is the manner of sifting?** The **refuse** remains **atop** the sifter **and the food is below. Here too,** when straining wine, the **refuse** remains **atop** the strainer **and the food is below.**


###### Shabbat 138a:11
[Shabbat 138a:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/138a:11)

תָּנֵי רָמֵי בַּר יְחֶזְקֵאל: טַלִּית כְּפוּלָה לֹא יַעֲשֶׂה, וְאִם עָשָׂה — פָּטוּר אֲבָל אָסוּר. הָיָה כָּרוּךְ עָלֶיהָ חוּט אוֹ מְשִׁיחָה — מוּתָּר לִנְטוֹתָהּ לְכַתְּחִילָּה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rami bar Yeḥezkel taught:** With regard to **a doubled cloak, one may not make** a covering on Shabbat by taking the cloak and placing it over a rope and extending the two sides in order to form something similar to a canopy beneath which one could lie (*ge’onim*; Rif). **And if one made** it, **he is exempt** from bringing a sin-offering by Torah law, **but it is prohibited** by rabbinic decree. If **there was a string or a cord wrapped around it** before Shabbat, and the cloak was attached to the string while folded, **it is permitted to** spread it and **stretch it *ab initio*.**


###### Shabbat 138a:12
[Shabbat 138a:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/138a:12)

בְּעָא מִינֵּיהּ רַב כָּהֲנָא מֵרַב: כִּילָּה מַהוּ? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: אַף מִטָּה אֲסוּרָה. מִטָּה מַהוּ? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: אַף כִּילָּה מוּתֶּרֶת. כִּילָּה וּמִטָּה מַהוּ? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: כִּילָּה אֲסוּרָה וּמִטָּה מוּתֶּרֶת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
On a related issue, **Rav Kahana raised a dilemma before Rav:** In the case of **a canopy, what** is the *halakha*? Is it permitted to spread it on Shabbat? **He said to him: Even a bed is prohibited.** Rav Kahana asked: With regard to **a bed, what** is the *halakha*? **He said to him: Even a canopy is permitted.** Rav Kahana again asked: In the case of **a bed and a canopy, what** is the *halakha*? **He said to him: A canopy is prohibited, and a bed is permitted.**


###### Shabbat 138a:13
[Shabbat 138a:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/138a:13)

וְלָא קַשְׁיָא. הָא דְּקָאָמַר אַף מִטָּה אֲסוּרָה — כִּדְקַרְמֹנָאֵי. הָא דְּקָאֲמַר לֵיהּ אַף כִּילָּה מוּתֶּרֶת — כִּדְרָמֵי בַּר יְחֶזְקֵאל. כִּילָּה אֲסוּרָה וּמִטָּה מוּתֶּרֶת — כִּדְדִידַן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara comments: **And** this is **not difficult,** as the responses do not in fact contradict one another. Rather, **when he said: Even a bed is prohibited,** this is referring to folding beds **like those of the Carmanians.** Unfolding them is considered like making a tent. **When he said: Even a canopy is permitted,** this is referring to spreading the canopy in the manner explained by **Rami bar Yeḥezkel.** The canopy was bound by a string from before Shabbat. When he said: **A canopy is prohibited, and a bed is permitted,** this is referring to beds and canopies **like ours,** which do not fold. A bed of that kind involves no building. However, spreading canopies is performed in a manner similar to constructing a tent.


###### Shabbat 138a:14
[Shabbat 138a:14](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/138a:14)

אָמַר רַב יוֹסֵף: חֲזֵינָא לְהוּ לְכִילֵּי דְּבֵי רַב הוּנָא דְּמֵאוּרְתָּא נְגִידָא וּמִצַּפְרָא חֲבִיטָא רַמְיָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Yosef said: I saw the canopies of the house of Rav Huna that were spread out in the evening, and in the morning they were cast off and lying** on the ground. This indicates that it is permitted to dismantle and spread them on Shabbat.


###### Shabbat 138a:15
[Shabbat 138a:15](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/138a:15)

אָמַר רַב מִשּׁוּם רַבִּי חִיָּיא: וִילוֹן מוּתָּר לִנְטוֹתוֹ וּמוּתָּר לְפוֹרְקוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav said in the name of Rabbi Ḥiyya:** With regard to **a curtain, it is permitted to spread it, and it is permitted to dismantle it.** Since a curtain has no roof, neither action constitutes establishing a tent.


###### Shabbat 138a:16
[Shabbat 138a:16](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/138a:16)

וְאָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל מִשּׁוּם רַבִּי חִיָּיא:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And Shmuel said in the name of Rabbi Ḥiyya:**
