וְעַל שֶׁהָיָה סִפֵּק בְּיָדָם לִמְחוֹת וְלֹא מִיחוּ, וְעַל שֶׁפּוֹסְקִים צְדָקָה בָּרַבִּים וְאֵינָן נוֹתְנִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**and on** account of **those who had the ability to reprimand** sinners **and did not reprimand** them; **and on** account of **those who issued** a commitment to give **charity in public and** ultimately **do not give** the charity to which they committed.

[Sukkah 29b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sukkah/r/29b:2)

אָמַר רַב: בִּשְׁבִיל אַרְבָּעָה דְּבָרִים נִכְסֵי בַּעֲלֵי בָּתִּים יוֹצְאִין לְטִמְיוֹן: עַל כּוֹבְשֵׁי שְׂכַר שָׂכִיר, וְעַל עוֹשְׁקֵי שְׂכַר שָׂכִיר, וְעַל שֶׁפּוֹרְקִין עוֹל מֵעַל צַוְּארֵיהֶן וְנוֹתְנִין עַל חַבְרֵיהֶן, וְעַל גַּסּוּת הָרוּחַ. וְגַסּוּת הָרוּחַ — כְּנֶגֶד כּוּלָּן. אֲבָל בַּעֲנָוִים כְּתִיב: ״וַעֲנָוִים יִירְשׁוּ אָרֶץ וְהִתְעַנְּגוּ עַל רֹב שָׁלוֹם״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav said: On account of four matters the property of homeowners is confiscated by the state treasury [*timyon*]: On** account of **those who delay** payment of **the salary of hired laborers** (see Leviticus 19:13; Deuteronomy 24:15); **on** account of **those who withhold the salary of hired laborers** and do not pay at all; **and on** account of **those who throw off the yoke** of communal responsibility **from their** own **necks and place** that yoke **on** the necks of **their friends; and on** account of **the arrogance** of those who, due to their wealth, exercise power over the community. **And the** punishment for **arrogance is equal to them all. However, with regard to the humble it is written: “The humble will inherit the land and delight themselves in the abundance of peace”** (Psalms 37:11).

###### Sukkah 29b:4
[Sukkah 29b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sukkah/r/29b:4)

**לוּלָב הַגָּזוּל** וְהַיָּבֵשׁ — פָּסוּל. שֶׁל אֲשֵׁירָה וְשֶׁל עִיר הַנִּדַּחַת — פָּסוּל. נִקְטַם רֹאשׁוֹ, נִפְרְצוּ עָלָיו — פָּסוּל. נִפְרְדוּ עָלָיו — כָּשֵׁר. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: יַאַגְדֶנּוּ מִלְמַעְלָה. צִינֵי הַר הַבַּרְזֶל — כְּשֵׁירוֹת. לוּלָב שֶׁיֵּשׁ בּוֹ שְׁלֹשָׁה טְפָחִים כְּדֵי לְנַעְנֵעַ בּוֹ — כָּשֵׁר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** **A *lulav* that was stolen or that is** completely **dry** is **unfit** for use in fulfilling the mitzva of the four species. The *lulav* **of a tree worshipped as idolatry [*asheira*] and** a *lulav* **from a city** whose residents were **incited** to idolatry, which must be burned along with all the city’s property, are **unfit. If the top** of the *lulav* **was severed or if the** palm **leaves were severed** from the spine of the *lulav*, it is **unfit. If its leaves,** although still attached, **were spread** and are no longer completely joined to the spine, it is **fit. Rabbi Yehuda says:** In that case, **one should bind** the *lulav* **from the top,** to join the leaves that spread to the spine. A *lulav* from the **palms of the Iron Mountain** are **fit** for use, although it differs from one taken from a standard palm tree, in that its leaves are shorter and do not cover the entire spine. **A *lulav* that has three handbreadths** in length, **sufficient** to enable one **to wave with it, is fit** for use in fulfilling the mitzva.


###### Sukkah 29b:5
[Sukkah 29b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sukkah/r/29b:5)

**גְּמָ׳** קָא פָסֵיק וְתָנֵי, לָא שְׁנָא בְּיוֹם טוֹב רִאשׁוֹן, וְלָא שְׁנָא בְּיוֹם טוֹב שֵׁנִי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** The ruling in the mishna is that a stolen *lulav* is unfit. The Gemara posits: **The mishna teaches** this *halakha* unequivocally, indicating that there is **no difference** whether the stolen *lulav* is used **on the first day of the festival** of *Sukkot*, when taking the four species is a mitzva by Torah law, **and** there is **no difference** whether the stolen *lulav* is used beginning **on the second day of the festival** of *Sukkot*, when it is a mitzva by rabbinic law.


###### Sukkah 29b:6
[Sukkah 29b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sukkah/r/29b:6)

בִּשְׁלָמָא יָבֵשׁ — ״הָדָר״ בָּעֵינַן, וְלֵיכָּא. אֶלָּא גָּזוּל, בִּשְׁלָמָא יוֹם טוֹב רִאשׁוֹן, דִּכְתִיב: ״לָכֶם״ — מִשֶּׁלָּכֶם. אֶלָּא בְּיוֹם טוֹב שֵׁנִי אַמַּאי לָא?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **Granted, a dry** *lulav* is unfit both on the first day and subsequently. It is unfit for use because the term *hadar* is used with regard to the four species, from which it is derived that **we require beauty. And** since in a dry *lulav* **there is not** beauty, it is unfit. **However,** with regard to **a stolen** *lulav*, **granted,** on **the first day of the Festival** it is unfit, **as it is written:** “And you shall take **for yourselves** on the first day” (Leviticus 23:40), indicating that the four species must be taken **from your own** property. **However,** beginning **on the second day of the Festival, why** does one **not** fulfill his obligation with a stolen *lulav*?
