One who eats figs from Erev Yom Tov and brings the leftovers up to the top of the roof to make them into dried figs, he may not eat from them on Yom Tov because they are not from the prepared. One who eats grapes from Erev Yom Tov and brings the leftovers up to the top of the roof to make them into raisins, he may not eat from them on Yom Tov because they are not from the prepared. [If there were] branches of a fig tree with figs on them, [or] branches of a date palm with dates on them, and he brought them in for kindling, they may not eat from them on Yom Tov. [If he intended to use them] for animal fodder, he may eat from them on Yom Tov.

There are four things [for which one may be liable that are] optional, and four things [for which one may be liable that involve] commandments. One who weaves two threads, whether for sacred garments or regular garments, and one who writes two letters, whether for sacred writings or regular writings, on Shabbat is liable for a sin offering; on Yom Tov, he receives forty lashes. And one who weaves one thread, whether for sacred garments or regular garments, or writes one letter, whether for sacred writings or for regular writings, on Shabbat is liable for a sin offering, and on Yom Tov, he receives forty lashes, the words of Rabbi Eliezer. And the Sages say, whether on Shabbat or Yom Tov, he is only liable on account of [the positive commandment] to rest.

These are [the matters for which one may be liable] on account of [the decree] to rest (Beitzah 5:2): They may not climb a tree or ride on top of an animal, and they may not swim in the water. And they may not clap hands, nor slap their thighs, or dance. And these are [the things for which one may be liable] on account of being optional: They may not judge and they may not betroth, and they may not perform chalitza and they may not perform levirate marriage. And these are [the matters for which one may be liable] on account of being a commandment: They may not consecrate, and they may not engage in valuations, and they may not make a vow of prohibition, nor may they separate terumah and tithes. And all of these [apply] on Yom Tov, and it can be logically deduced [that they apply] on Shabbat. And there is no difference between Yom Tov and Shabbat except for the preparation of food.

Animals and vessels [have the same restrictions] as the legs of their owners (Beitzah 5:3). One who gives over his animal to his son or to a shepherd, behold, [the animal] is like his legs. Specialized vessels [designated] for one of his brothers that is in his house, behold, they are like his legs, and those are not specialized [can be taken] to a place that everyone goes to. He may travel in the north according to the [Shabbat boundary] in the south, and in the south according to [the Shabbat boundary] in the north. If they divided the boundary [between them], he may not move from his place.

A donkey: Like the legs of a donkey-driver. A cow: Like the legs of a farmhand. Livestock: Like the legs of a shepherd. Rabbi Dosa says, one who purchases livestock from his fellow on Erev Yom Tov, even though he may only give it over to him on Yom Tov, behold, it is like the legs of the buyer, and one who gives over livestock to a shepherd or from a shepherd, even though he has not informed the shepherd, behold, it is like the legs of the shepherd. One who purchases an animal from his fellow from Erev Yom Tov, it is like the legs of the buyer; on Yom Tov, like the legs of the seller.

One who purchases meat from a butcher from Erev Yom Tov, it is like the legs of the buyer, and on Yom Tov, like the legs of the seller. One who borrows a cloak from his fellow from Erev Yom Tov, it is like the legs of the borrower; on Yom Tov, like the legs of the lender. Two that borrowed cloak, one to walk with it in the morning to the house of study, and one to walk with it to an evening feast on Yom Tov: It is like the legs of the lender. A woman who borrowed spices, water, or salt from her friend from Erev Yom Tov: They are like the legs of the borrower; on Yom Tov, like the legs of the lender. [If] she gave them for [her friend to use] for her dough, behold, they are like the legs of both of them. Rabbi Yehuda exempts in regards to water, because it is absorbed into the dough.

The burning coal is like the legs of its owners, and the flame, in any place. Five things they stated regarding burning coals: A burning coal of the Holy may be benefited from [for non-sacred purposes]; a flame, they may enjoy it but they may not benefit it. A burning coal of idolatry is forbidden; a flame is permitted. One who takes a burning coal out of the public domain is liable; a flame, he is exempt. One who vows not to benefit from his fellow: His burning coal is forbidden, and his flame is permitted. They bless over the flame and they do not bless over the coal.

A pit [on the border] of two tribes: One may draw [water] from it [with a bucket] and fill it on Shabbat. A pit that is between two borders: They may not fill from it on Shabbat unless they built a partition higher than ten handbreadths [over it]. Rivers and flowing springs: Behold, they are like the legs of every person.

Whoever had his produce in another city and they residents of that city made an eruv for him to bring [his produce] to his place (Beitzah 5:6), they may not bring any of his produce to him unless their legs [were permitted to travel] on account of the eruv to there. And if in that place there is a guardian [of an orphan] they may bring it on the word of the guardian. Whoever feeds guests in his place: They should not take [the food] with them unless he assigned their portions to them from Erev Yom Tov (Beitzah 5:7). What may they take out from a house of feasting*? A cut of meat, a loaf of white bread, and a seasoned egg*. Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel says, in a place that they were accustomed to divide up walnuts or roasted grains, he may take them [with him]. His son and his daughter and the small children: He may take them to a house of mourning or a house of feasting or a house of celebration. In a place where it is not the custom for [guests] to give some of their food to the son or daughter of the host, [they should not do so] on account of enmity.

They may not clean nor scrape on Yom Tov, and they may not polish silver vessels with chalk, and they may not wash vessels with soda ash on Yom Tov, but they may wash them with salt or with coarse bran on Shabbat and, needless to say, on Yom Tov. § What are the "prairie animals" (Beitzah 5:7): Those that go out on Passover and return with the rains. What are the "domestic animals"? Those that sleep within the [Shabbat] boundary. Rebbi says, these ones and those ones that go out of the boundary, even though they only reentered the boundary after nightfall, it is permitted to slaughter them on Yom Tov. What are the "prairie animals" (i.e., according to Rebbi)? Those that always graze in pasture-land [outside of town].
