## Shabbat Daf 140a

###### Shabbat 140a:1
[Shabbat 140a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/140a:1)

לְפִי שֶׁאֵין עוֹשִׂין אוֹתָהּ אֶלָּא לְגָוֶון.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Because it is only made to** enhance the **color** of the food. That does not negate the egg-white as significant food in the sense that it would be considered waste, and therefore, no actual selection is performed.


###### Shabbat 140a:2
[Shabbat 140a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/140a:2)

אִיתְּמַר. חַרְדָּל שֶׁלָּשׁוֹ מֵעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת, לְמָחָר, אָמַר רַב: מְמַחוֹ בִּכְלִי אֲבָל לֹא בַּיָּד.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**It is stated:** With regard to **mustard that one kneaded on Shabbat eve, on the following day,** Shabbat, **Rav said: One may dissolve it** in wine or water **with a vessel, but not with** his **hand,** as using a vessel diverges from the normal method of preparation.


###### Shabbat 140a:3
[Shabbat 140a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/140a:3)

אֲמַר לֵיהּ שְׁמוּאֵל: (בַּיָּד?!) אַטּוּ כׇּל יוֹמָא בְּיָד מְמַחוּ לֵיהּ?! מַאֲכַל חֲמוֹרִים הוּא! אֶלָּא אָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל: מְמַחוֹ בַּיָּד וְאֵינוֹ מְמַחוֹ בִּכְלִי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Shmuel said to him:** Why may he not dissolve it **with** his **hand? Is that to say that he dissolves it with** his **hand every day?** If it is prepared in that manner, **it is donkey food.** Certainly dissolving by hand is not the manner in which mustard is prepared during the week. Therefore, dissolving mustard with a vessel should not be permitted on Shabbat. **Rather, Shmuel said** the opposite: **He may dissolve it with** his **hand** as a divergence from the typical method of preparation, **but he may not dissolve it** in the usual manner, **with a vessel.**


###### Shabbat 140a:4
[Shabbat 140a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/140a:4)

אִתְּמַר. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר אָמַר: אֶחָד זֶה וְאֶחָד זֶה — אָסוּר. וְרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן אָמַר: אֶחָד זֶה וְאֶחָד זֶה — מוּתָּר. אַבָּיֵי וְרָבָא דְּאָמְרִי תַּרְוַיְיהוּ: אֵין הֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**It is stated** that *amora’im* from Eretz Yisrael also disputed this issue, as **Rabbi Elazar said: Both this and that,** dissolving by hand and with a vessel, **are prohibited;** while **Rabbi Yoḥanan said: Both this and that are permitted. Abaye and Rava both said:** The ***halakha* is not in accordance with** the lenient opinion of **Rabbi Yoḥanan.**


###### Shabbat 140a:5
[Shabbat 140a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/140a:5)

קָם רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן בְּשִׁיטְתֵיהּ דְּרַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר, קָם רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בְּשִׁיטְתֵיהּ דִּשְׁמוּאֵל. אַבָּיֵי וְרָבָא דְּאָמְרִי תַּרְוַיְיהוּ: הֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Subsequently, **Rabbi Yoḥanan stood** and adopted **the opinion** of **Rabbi Elazar** and prohibited both methods of dissolving. **Rabbi Elazar stood** and adopted **the opinion** of **Shmuel,** who prohibited using a vessel but permitted it by hand. Given these stances, **Abaye and Rava both said:** The ***halakha* is in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Yoḥanan,** who prohibited both methods.


###### Shabbat 140a:6
[Shabbat 140a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/140a:6)

אִימֵּיהּ דְּאַבָּיֵי עֲבַדָא לֵיהּ, וְלָא אֲכַל. דְּבֵיתְהוּ דִּזְעִירָא עֲבַדָא לֵיהּ לְרַב חִיָּיא בַּר אָשֵׁי, וְלָא אֲכַל. אֲמַרָה לֵיהּ: לְרַבָּךְ עֲבַדִי לֵיהּ וַאֲכַל, וְאַתְּ לָא אָכְלַתְּ? אָמַר רָבָא בַּר שְׁבָא: הֲוָה קָאֵימְנָא קַמֵּיהּ דְּרָבִינָא וּבְחַשִׁי לֵיהּ בְּשׁוּפְתָּא דְתוּמָא וַאֲכַל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara relates: **Abaye’s mother,** actually his foster mother, **prepared** mustard **for him, and he did not eat** it. **Ze’eira’s wife prepared** mustard **for Rav Ḥiyya bar Ashi,** her husband’s student, **and he did not eat** it. **She said to him: I made** this **for your rabbi and he ate** it, **and you do not eat** it? **Rava bar Shabba said: I was standing before Ravina, and they stirred** mustard **for him with the inner part of the garlic, and he ate** it.


###### Shabbat 140a:7
[Shabbat 140a:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/140a:7)

אָמַר מָר זוּטְרָא: לֵית הִלְכְתָא כְּכׇל הָנֵי שְׁמַעְתָּתָא, אֶלָּא כִּי הָא דְּאִתְּמַר: חַרְדָּל שֶׁלָּשׁוֹ מֵעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת, לְמָחָר מְמַחוֹ בֵּין בַּיָּד בֵּין בִּכְלִי וְנוֹתֵן לְתוֹכוֹ דְּבַשׁ. וְלֹא יִטְרוֹף, אֶלָּא מְעָרֵב.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Mar Zutra said: The *halakha* is not in accordance with any of these statements. Rather, it is in accordance with this** one, **as it was stated: Mustard that one kneaded on Shabbat eve, on the following day he may dissolve it either by hand or with a vessel, and he may place honey in it. And** when he dissolves it **he may not beat** it forcefully as would a craftsman, **but** he may **mix** it gently.


###### Shabbat 140a:8
[Shabbat 140a:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/140a:8)

שַׁחֲלַיִים שֶׁשְּׁחָקָן מֵעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת, לְמָחָר נוֹתֵן לְתוֹכָן שֶׁמֶן וָחוֹמֶץ, וּמַמְשִׁיךְ לְתוֹכָן אַמִּיתָא. וְלֹא יִטְרוֹף אֶלָּא מְעָרֵב. שׁוּם שֶׁרִיסְּקוֹ מֵעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת, לְמָחָר נוֹתֵן לְתוֹכוֹ פּוֹל וּגְרִיסִין, וְלֹא יִשְׁחוֹק אֶלָּא מְעָרֵב, וּמַמְשִׁיךְ אֶת אַמִּיתָא לְתוֹכָן. מַאי אַמִּיתָא? נִינְיָיא. אָמַר אַבָּיֵי: שְׁמַע מִינַּהּ הַאי נִינְיָיא מְעַלְּיָא לְתַחְלֵי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Cress that one ground on Shabbat eve, on the following day he may place oil and vinegar in it, and add *amita* into** the mixture, **and he may not beat** it, **but** he may **mix** it. Similarly, **garlic that one crushed on Shabbat eve, on the following day, he may place beans and grits in it, and he may not pound, but mix, and he may add *amita* into** the mixture. The Gemara asks: **What is *amita*?** The Gemara answers: It is **mint. Abaye said: Learn from this** that adding **mint is beneficial for cress.**


###### Shabbat 140a:9
[Shabbat 140a:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/140a:9)

וְעוֹשִׂין אֵנוֹמֵלִין בְּשַׁבָּת. תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: עוֹשִׂין אֵנוֹמֵלִין בְּשַׁבָּת, וְאֵין עוֹשִׂין אֲלוּנְטִית. וְאֵיזוֹ הִיא אֵנוֹמֵלִין וְאֵיזוֹ הִיא אֲלוּנְטִית? אֵנוֹמֵלִין יַיִן וּדְבַשׁ וּפִלְפְּלִין. אֲלוּנְטִית יַיִן יָשָׁן וּמַיִם צְלוּלִין וַאֲפַרְסְמוֹן, דְּעָבְדִי לְבֵי מַסּוּתָא לְמֵיקַר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
We also learned in the mishna: **One may prepare *anumlin* on Shabbat. The Sages taught** in a *baraita*: **One may prepare *anumlin* on Shabbat. However, one may not prepare *aluntit*.** The *baraita* explains: **And what is *anumlin* and what is *aluntit*? *Anumlin*** is a drink, which is a mixture of **wine, honey, and pepper. *Aluntit*** is a mixture of **aged wine and clear water and balsam, which they prepare** for use after bathing in **a bathhouse to cool down** from the heat of the bathhouse. It is prohibited to prepare it on Shabbat because it is a form of remedy.


###### Shabbat 140a:10
[Shabbat 140a:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/140a:10)

אָמַר רַב יוֹסֵף: זִימְנָא חֲדָא עַלִּית בָּתַר מָר עוּקְבָא לְבֵי בָאנֵי. כִּי נְפַקִי, אֲתַאי אַשְׁקְיַין חַמְרָא חַד כָּסָא, וְחַשִּׁי מִבִּינְתָא דְרֵאשִׁי וְעַד טוּפְרָא דְכַרְעִי. וְאִי אַשְׁקְיַין כָּסָא אַחֲרִינָא — הֲוַאי מִסְתְּפֵינָא דִּלְמָא מְנַכּוּ לִי מִזָּכְוָתָא דְּעָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי. וְהָא מָר עוּקְבָא דְּשָׁתֵי כׇּל יוֹמָא? שָׁאנֵי מָר עוּקְבָא דְּדָשׁ בֵּיהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Yosef said:** On **one occasion, I followed Mar Ukva into a bathhouse. When I exited, he came** and **gave me one cup of** this **wine to drink, and I felt** its chill **from the hairs on my head** down **to the toenails on my feet. And if he had given me another cup to drink,** and if I would have survived it, **I would have feared a reduction of my merit in the World-to-Come.** The Gemara asks: **Didn’t Mar Ukva drink** this wine **every day?** How was he not harmed? The Gemara answers: **Mar Ukva was different, as** he **grew accustomed to it.**


###### Shabbat 140a:11
[Shabbat 140a:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/140a:11)

**מַתְנִי׳** אֵין שׁוֹרִין אֶת הַחִילְתִּית בְּפוֹשְׁרִין, אֲבָל נוֹתֵן לְתוֹךְ הַחוֹמֶץ. וְאֵין שׁוֹלִין אֶת הַכַּרְשִׁינִין וְלֹא שָׁפִין אוֹתָן, אֲבָל נוֹתֵן לְתוֹךְ הַכְּבָרָה אוֹ לְתוֹךְ הַכַּלְכָּלָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** **One may not soak asafoetida in lukewarm water** to prepare a medicinal drink from it; **however, one may place** it **into vinegar** like a standard spice. **And one may not soak vetches** in water in order to separate them from their chaff, **nor rub them** by hand so as to remove their chaff. **However, one may place** them **into a sieve or into a basket,** and if the chaff gets removed, so be it.


###### Shabbat 140a:12
[Shabbat 140a:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/140a:12)

אֵין כּוֹבְרִין אֶת הַתֶּבֶן בִּכְבָרָה, וְלֹא יִתְּנֶנּוּ עַל גַּבֵּי מָקוֹם גָּבוֹהַּ בִּשְׁבִיל שֶׁיֵּרֵד הַמּוֹץ. אֲבָל נוֹטֵל הוּא בַּכְּבָרָה וְנוֹתֵן לְתוֹךְ הָאֵיבוּס.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**One may not sift straw in a sieve, and** similarly, **one may not place it on a high place so that that the chaff** blows away in the wind; **however, one may take** the straw **in a sieve and place it into the trough** of an animal, and one need not be concerned if the chaff is removed in the process.


###### Shabbat 140a:13
[Shabbat 140a:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/140a:13)

**גְּמָ׳** אִיבַּעְיָא לְהוּ: שָׁרָה, מַאי? תַּרְגְּמָא רַב אַדָּא נַרְשָׁאָה קַמֵּיהּ דְּרַב יוֹסֵף: שָׁרָה — חַיָּיב חַטָּאת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** **A dilemma was raised before** the Sages: **If one** unwittingly **soaked** asafoetida on Shabbat, **what** is the *halakha*? **Rav Adda from** the city of **Naresh interpreted it before Rav Yosef: If one soaked** it, **he is liable** to bring **a sin-offering.**


###### Shabbat 140a:14
[Shabbat 140a:14](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/140a:14)

אֲמַר לֵיהּ אַבָּיֵי: אֶלָּא מֵעַתָּה שְׁרָה אוּמְצָא בְּמַיָּא הָכִי נָמֵי דְּמִיחַיַּיב? אֶלָּא אָמַר אַבָּיֵי: מִדְּרַבָּנַן — שֶׁלֹּא יַעֲשֶׂה כְּדֶרֶךְ שֶׁהוּא עוֹשֶׂה בַּחוֹל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Abaye said to him: But if that is so,** if **one soaked a piece of meat in water,** would you **also** say **that he is liable?** No cooking was performed at all. **Rather, Abaye said:** It is prohibited **by rabbinic decree,** so **that one will not conduct** himself on Shabbat **in the manner in which he conducts** himself **during the week.**


###### Shabbat 140a:15
[Shabbat 140a:15](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/140a:15)

בְּעָא מִינֵּיהּ רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן מֵרַבִּי יַנַּאי: מַהוּ לִשְׁרוֹת אֶת הַחִלְתִּית בְּצוֹנֵן? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: אָסוּר. וְהָא אֲנַן תְּנַן: אֵין שׁוֹרִין אֶת הַחִלְתִּית בְּפוֹשְׁרִין — הָא בְּצוֹנֵן מוּתָּר!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Yoḥanan raised a dilemma before Rabbi Yannai: What is** the *halakha* with regard **to soaking asafoetida in cold water** on Shabbat? Rabbi Yannai **said to him: It is prohibited.** Rabbi Yoḥanan asked: **Didn’t we learn** in the mishna: **One may not soak asafoetida in lukewarm** water, indicating that **it is permitted** to soak it **in cold** water?


###### Shabbat 140a:16
[Shabbat 140a:16](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/140a:16)

אֲמַר לֵיהּ: אִם כֵּן מַה בֵּין לִי וְלָךְ. מַתְנִיתִין יְחִידָאָה הִיא, דְּתַנְיָא: אֵין שׁוֹרִין אֶת הַחִלְתִּית לֹא בְּחַמִּין וְלֹא בְּצוֹנֵן. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר: בְּחַמִּין — אָסוּר, בְּצוֹנֵן — מוּתָּר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rabbi Yannai **said to him: If so, that** is the difference **between my** knowledge **and yours,** as I am able to analyze the *halakha* more profoundly. In this case, the mishna is not a reliable source, as **the mishna** expresses **an individual** opinion. **As it was taught** in the *Tosefta*: **One may neither soak asafoetida in hot** water **nor in cold** water. **Rabbi Yosei says: In hot** water it is **prohibited; in cold** water it is **permitted.** The mishna that does not prohibit cold water is in accordance with the individual opinion of Rabbi Yosei, but the *halakha* is not ruled based on that opinion.


###### Shabbat 140a:17
[Shabbat 140a:17](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/140a:17)

לְמַאי עָבְדִי לֵיהּ? לְיוּקְרָא דְלִיבָּא. רַב אַחָא בַּר יוֹסֵף חָשׁ בְּיוּקְרָא דְלִיבָּא. אֲתָא לְקַמֵּיהּ דְּמָר עוּקְבָא. אֲמַר לֵיהּ: זִיל שְׁתִי תְּלָתָא תִּיקְלֵי חִילְתִּיתָא בִּתְלָתָא יוֹמֵי. אֲזַל אִישְׁתִּי חַמְשָׁא בְּשַׁבְּתָא וּמַעֲלֵי שַׁבְּתָא. לְצַפְרָא אֲזַל שְׁאַל בֵּי מִדְרְשָׁא. אֲמַרוּ לֵיהּ: תָּנָא דְּבֵי רַב אַדָּא, וְאָמְרִי לַהּ תָּנָא דְּבֵי מָר בַּר רַב אַדָּא: שׁוֹתֶה אָדָם קַב אוֹ קַבַּיִים וְאֵינוֹ חוֹשֵׁשׁ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **For what** purpose **is** soaked asafoetida **prepared?** The Gemara answers: As a cure **for heaviness of the heart.** One who feels a pain in his heart drinks asafoetida. The Gemara relates: **Rav Aḥa bar Yosef felt heaviness in** his **heart. He came before Mar Ukva** to ask his advice. Mar Ukva **said to him: Go drink** the weight of **three shekels of asafoetida in three days. He went and drank on Thursday and Shabbat eve. In the morning, he went** and **asked in the study hall** if he could drink it on Shabbat. **They said to him:** The Sage **from the school** of **Rav Adda taught, and others say,** that the Sage **from the school** of **Mar bar Rav Adda taught: A person may drink** asafoetida on Shabbat, even **a *kav* or two *kav*, and he need not be concerned** about the decree prohibiting medicine, because asafoetida is drunk by healthy people as well.


###### Shabbat 140a:18
[Shabbat 140a:18](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/140a:18)

אֲמַר לְהוּ: לִשְׁתּוֹת — לָא קָמִיבַּעְיָא לִי, כִּי קָא מִיבַּעְיָא לִי — לִשְׁרוֹת, מַאי? אֲמַר לְהוּ רַב חִיָּיא בַּר אָבִין: בְּדִידִי הֲוָה עוֹבָדָא, וַאֲתַאי שְׁאֵילְתֵּיהּ לְרַב אַדָּא בַּר אַהֲבָה וְלָא הֲוָה בִּידֵיהּ. אֲתַאי שְׁאֵילְתֵּיהּ לְרַב הוּנָא, וַאֲמַר: הָכִי קָאָמַר רַב, שׁוֹרֶה בְּצוֹנֵן וּמַנִּיחַ בַּחַמָּה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rav Aḥa bar Yosef **said to them:** With regard **to drinking, I have no dilemma. When I raised a dilemma,** it is with regard **to soaking** asafoetida; **what is** the *halakha*? **Rav Ḥiyya bar Avin said to them: There was an incident** that happened **with me, and I came** and **asked** that question **to Rav Adda bar Ahava, and he did not have** an answer for it. **I came** and **asked Rav Huna, and he said** that **this is what Rav is saying: One may soak** asafoetida **in cold water and place** it **in the sun** to warm it so it will be fit to drink.


###### Shabbat 140a:19
[Shabbat 140a:19](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/140a:19)

כְּמַאן דְּשָׁרֵי? אֲפִילּוּ לְמַאן דְּאָסַר — הָנֵי מִילֵּי הֵיכָא דְּלָא אִישְׁתִּי כְּלָל, אֲבָל הָכָא — כֵּיוָן דְּאִישְׁתִּי חַמְשָׁא וּמַעֲלֵי שַׁבְּתָא, אִי לָא שָׁתֵי בְּשַׁבָּת — מִיסְתַּכַּן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: Was Rav’s ruling **according to** the opinion of **the one who permitted** soaking asafoetida in cold water? The Gemara answers: His ruling could be **even according to** the opinion of **the one who prohibited** doing so; **this** prohibition **applies only when he had not drunk** asafoetida **at all; however, here, since he drank** it **on Thursday and on Shabbat eve, if he does not drink on Shabbat he** would thereby be **endangered.** Therefore, he is permitted even to soak the asafoetida.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara relates another incident involving Rav Aḥa bar Yosef: **Rav Aḥa bar Yosef was walking** and **leaning on the shoulder of Rav Naḥman bar Yitzḥak, his sister’s son.** Rav Aḥa **said to him: When we arrive at Rav Safra’s house, bring me in. When they arrived,** Rav Naḥman **brought him in.** Rav Aḥa then **raised a dilemma before** Rav Safra: **What is** the *halakha* pertaining **to rubbing** and thereby softening **a linen shirt** that is hard after being laundered **on Shabbat?** Does **one intend to soften the shirt, and one may well** do so? **Or perhaps he intends to generate whiteness** in the shirt, **and it is prohibited?** Rav Safra **said to him: He intends to soften, and one may well** do so.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**When** Rav Aḥa **emerged** and **came** from Rav Safra’s house, Rav Naḥman **said to him: What dilemma did the Master raise before** Rav Safra? Rav Aḥa **said to him: I raised** the following **dilemma before him: What is** the *halakha* pertaining **to rubbing** and thereby softening **a linen shirt on Shabbat, and he said to me: One may well** do so.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rav Naḥman bar Yitzḥak asked: **And let the Master raise** the same **dilemma** with regard to rubbing a **scarf.** He replied: **I did not raise the dilemma** with regard to a **scarf, as I raised it before Rav Huna. And he resolved it for me** and said that it is permitted (Rif).

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rav Naḥman asked him: **And let the Master resolve** the dilemma with regard to a shirt **from** Rav Huna’s ruling with regard to **a scarf.** Rav Aḥa **said to him:** There is a difference between the cases: **There,** in the case of a shirt, **it appears that one is generating whiteness,** whereas **here,** in the case of a scarf, **it does not appear that one is generating whiteness,** as people are not so particular with the whiteness of a scarf, and one’s intention is undoubtedly to soften it.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Ḥisda said:** With regard to **this linen shirt,**
