###### Yoma 79a:1
[Yoma 79a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/79a:1)

כְּכוֹתֶבֶת שֶׁאָמְרוּ, בְּגַרְעִינָתָהּ: אוֹ בְּלֹא גַּרְעִינָתָהּ? בָּעֵי רַב אָשֵׁי: עֶצֶם כִּשְׂעוֹרָה, בִּקְלִיפָּתָהּ אוֹ בְּלֹא קְלִיפָּתָהּ, בְּלַחָה אוֹ בִּיבֵשָׁה? רַב אָשֵׁי לָא מִבַּעְיָא לֵיהּ הָא דְּרַב פָּפָּא, ״גַּסָּה״ אִיתְּמַר — כֹּל כַּמָּה דְּגַסָּה. רַב פָּפָּא לָא מִבַּעְיָא לֵיהּ הָא דְּרַב אָשֵׁי: לַחָה — שִׁבּוֹלֶת מִיקְּרֵי, שֶׁלֹּא בִּקְלִיפָּתָהּ — אוּשְׁלָא מִיקְּרֵי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**The large date-bulk that they said** is the measure that determines liability for eating on Yom Kippur, does this refer to the volume of a large date **with its pit or without its pit? Rav Ashi asked** a similar question: The mishna that states that **a bone** that is **a barley-grain-bulk** imparts ritual impurity, does this refer to the volume of a barley grain **with its husk or without its husk?** And is that referring to **a wet** kernel **or a dry** one? The Gemara clarifies: **Rav Ashi did not ask** the question **that Rav Pappa** asked, regarding the size of the date-bulk on Yom Kippur because the answer was clear to him. Since **it is stated** in the mishna: **Large,** it means **as large as possible,** which must include the pit. Conversely, **Rav Pappa did not ask** the question **that Rav Ashi** asked regarding the size of the barley-grain-bulk because the answer was clear to him. **Wet** barley **is called *shibbolet*** and not barley; **without its shell** it is no longer called barley but **is called *ushla*.** Therefore, the mishna must be referring to dry barley within its shell.


###### Yoma 79a:2
[Yoma 79a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/79a:2)

אָמַר (רָבָא) אָמַר רַב יְהוּדָה: כּוֹתֶבֶת הַגַּסָּה שֶׁאָמְרוּ, יְתֵירָה מִכְּבֵיצָה. וְקִים לְהוּ לְרַבָּנַן דִּבְהָכִי מִיַּתְּבָא דַּעְתֵּיהּ, בְּצִיר מֵהֲכִי — לָא מִיַּתְּבָא דַּעְתֵּיהּ. מֵיתִיבִי: מַעֲשֶׂה וְהֵבִיאוּ לְרַבָּן יוֹחָנָן בֶּן זַכַּאי לִטְעוֹם אֶת הַתַּבְשִׁיל, וּלְרַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל שְׁתֵּי כוֹתָבוֹת וּדְלִי שֶׁל מַיִם. וְאָמְרוּ: הַעֲלוּם לַסּוּכָּה. וְתָנֵי עֲלַהּ: לָא מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהֲלָכָה כָּךְ, אֶלָּא שֶׁרָצוּ לְהַחֲמִיר עַל עַצְמָן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rava said** that **Rav Yehuda said: The volume of a large date that they said** is **larger than an egg-bulk. The Sages have an** accepted **tradition that with this** amount of food, the **mind** of the one who eats **is settled,** and he is not afflicted. **Less than this** amount, **the mind is not settled.** The Gemara **raises an objection** from what we have learned: **An incident** happened on the festival of *Sukkot*. **They brought a cooked dish to Rabban Yoḥanan ben Zakkai to taste, and** they brought **to Rabban Gamliel two dates and a tankard of water.** Rabban Yoḥanan ben Zakkai and Rabban Gamliel **said** to them: **Bring them up to the *sukka*,** and we will eat there. **And** a *baraita* **was taught in that regard:** They **did not** act this way **because that is the *halakha*,** that such food must be eaten in the *sukka*. **Rather, they wished to be stringent upon themselves** and not eat anything outside of the *sukka*.


###### Yoma 79a:3
[Yoma 79a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Yoma/r/79a:3)

וּכְשֶׁנָּתְנוּ לוֹ לְרַבִּי צָדוֹק אוֹכֶל פָּחוֹת מִכְּבֵיצָה — נְטָלוֹ בְּמַפָּה וַאֲכָלוֹ חוּץ לַסּוּכָּה, וְלֹא בֵּירַךְ אַחֲרָיו.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
On the other hand, the Gemara reports: **And when they gave Rabbi Tzadok food** that was **less than an egg-bulk** to eat, **he held it in a cloth** and did not wash his hands. **And he ate it outside of the *sukka* and did not recite** Grace after Meals **afterward.**
