###### Shabbat 96a:1
[Shabbat 96a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/96a:1)

הָא בְּרַבְרְבֵי, וְהָא בְּזוּטְרֵי. אָמַר רַב אַסִּי, שׁוֹנִין: כְּלֵי חֶרֶס שִׁיעוּרוֹ בְּכוֹנֵס מַשְׁקֶה. וְלֹא אָמְרוּ מוֹצִיא מַשְׁקֶה אֶלָּא לְעִנְיַן גִּיסְטְרָא בִּלְבַד. מַאי טַעְמָא? אָמַר מָר זוּטְרָא בְּרֵיהּ דְּרַב נַחְמָן: לְפִי, שֶׁאֵין אוֹמְרִים ״הָבֵא גִּיסְטְרָא לְגִיסְטְרָא״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**This** statement, that a hole must be large enough to enable a pomegranate to go out in order to purify the vessel, is referring to **large** vessels. **And this** statement, that teaches that a vessel is purified only when the majority of the vessel is broken, is referring **to small** vessels. **Rav Asi said** that **they teach** this *halakha*: With regard to **an earthenware vessel,** the **measure** of the hole that renders it unable to become ritually impure is large enough **to enable liquid to enter it. And they only said:** The measure of a small hole from which **liquid seeps,** with regard to the **impurity** of **a shard [*gistera*].** The Gemara asks: **What is the reason** for this? The Gemara answers that **Mar Zutra, son of Rav Naḥman, said:** A shard is used as a plate beneath a perforated earthenware vessel. If the shard is also perforated and leaks, it is no longer of any use. **Because one does not say: Bring** another **shard to** seal the leak of a **shard,** but throws it out immediately.

[Shabbat 96a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/96a:2)

אָמַר עוּלָּא: פְּלִיגִי בַּהּ תְּרֵי אָמוֹרָאֵי בְּמַעְרְבָא, רַבִּי יוֹסֵי בְּרַבִּי אָבִין וְרַבִּי יוֹסֵי בַּר זַבְדָּא. חַד אָמַר כְּמוֹצִיא רִמּוֹן, וְחַד אָמַר: כְּשׁוֹרֶשׁ קָטָן. וְסִימָנָיךְ, אֶחָד הַמַּרְבֶּה וְאֶחָד הַמַּמְעִיט. אָמַר רַב חִינָּנָא בַּר כָּהֲנָא מִשְּׁמֵיהּ דְּרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר: כְּלִי חֶרֶס שִׁיעוּרוֹ כְּמוֹצִיא זֵיתִים. וּמָר קַשִּׁישָׁא בְּרֵיהּ דְּרַבָּה מְסַיֵּים בַּהּ מִשְּׁמֵיהּ דְּרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר: וַהֲרֵי הֵן כִּכְלֵי גְלָלִים וּכְלֵי אֲבָנִים וּכְלֵי אֲדָמָה — שֶׁאֵין מְקַבְּלִין טוּמְאָה לֹא מִדִּבְרֵי תוֹרָה וְלֹא מִדִּבְרֵי סוֹפְרִים. וּלְעִנְיַן צָמִיד פָּתִיל, עַד שֶׁיִּפְחַת רוּבּוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Ulla said: Two *amora’im* in the West,** Eretz Yisrael, **disagree** about **this** topic: They are **Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Avin, and Rabbi Yosei bar Zavda. One said:** The measure of a hole that purifies an earthenware vessel is large enough **to enable a pomegranate to go out. And one said:** The size of **a small root. And your mnemonic** to remember that neither holds that the measure is size of an olive is the expression: **Both one who increases and one who decreases.** They hold extreme positions in this dispute and eschew the intermediate position. **Rav Ḥinnana bar Kahana said** an intermediate position **in the name of Rabbi Eliezer: An earthenware vessel** becomes ritually pure with a hole **large enough to enable olives to go out. And Mar Kashisha, son of Rabba, concluded** this *halakha* **in the name of Rabbi Eliezer: And** vessels that have been perforated **are like dung vessels, and** so too, **stone vessels and earth vessels** that were not baked in a kiln, **which neither become impure by Torah law nor by rabbinic law. And,** as far as **the matter of** an earthenware vessel with **a sealed cover** in a room with a corpse, it maintains its impurity **until the majority of it is broken.**

###### Shabbat 96a:4
[Shabbat 96a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/96a:4)

מַתְנִי׳ **הַזּוֹרֵק** מֵרְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד לִרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים, מֵרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים לִרְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד — חַיָּיב. מֵרְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד לִרְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד וּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים בָּאֶמְצַע — רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא מְחַיֵּיב, וַחֲכָמִים פּוֹטְרִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** **One who throws** an object on Shabbat **from the private domain to the public domain** or **from the public domain to the private domain is liable.** However, one who throws an object **from the private domain to the** other **private domain, and** the object passes through **the public domain between** the two, **Rabbi Akiva deems him liable** for carrying into the public domain, **and the Rabbis deem** him **exempt.**


###### Shabbat 96a:5
[Shabbat 96a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/96a:5)

כֵּיצַד? שְׁתֵּי גְזוּזְטְרָאוֹת זוֹ כְּנֶגֶד זוֹ בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים, הַמּוֹשִׁיט וְהַזּוֹרֵק מִזּוֹ לָזוֹ — פָּטוּר, הָיוּ שְׁתֵּיהֶן בִּדְיוֹטָא אַחַת — הַמּוֹשִׁיט חַיָּיב וְהַזּוֹרֵק פָּטוּר, שֶׁכָּךְ הָיְתָה עֲבוֹדַת הַלְוִיִּם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**How so?** If there are **two balconies** [***gezuztra’ot***] that are private domains **opposite each other on** either side of **the public domain, one who passes or throws** an object **from** the one on **this** side **to the** one on **that** side **is exempt.** However, if the balconies **were on the same level** on the same side of the public thoroughfare, and the public domain separated the two, **one who passes** from one to the other **is liable, and one who throws is exempt, as that** method, passing, **was the service of the Levites** who carried the beams of the Tabernacle.


###### Shabbat 96a:6
[Shabbat 96a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Shabbat/r/96a:6)

שְׁתֵּי עֲגָלוֹת זוֹ אַחַר זוֹ בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים, מוֹשִׁיטִין הַקְּרָשִׁים מִזּוֹ לָזוֹ, אֲבָל לֹא זוֹרְקִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
In the Tabernacle, **two wagons** along the same level stood **behind one another in the public domain,** and the Levites **passed the beams from one** wagon **to the other** through the public domain on the same side of a thoroughfare. **But they did not throw** from one wagon to another because the beams were heavy. Passing, which was performed in the Tabernacle, is prohibited. Throwing, which was not performed in the Tabernacle, is not prohibited.
