3. A tailor must not go out with his needle near dusk,(95) lest he forget
and go (afterward). Nor a scribe go out with his pen. Nor may one search
his garments. Nor shall one read at the light of the lamp. In truth they
said, "the teacher may overlook when children are reading, but he himself
shall not read." Similar to him, one with an issue shall not eat with her
who has an issue, because of the custom of transgression.

4. And these following are from the decisions which they mentioned of the
upper chamber of Hananiah, the son of Hezekiah, the son of Gorion, when
the Sages went up to visit him. The school of Shammai was counted, and was
more numerous than the school of Hillel. And eighteen matters were
determined on that day.

5. The school of Shammai said, "they must not soak ink, nor paints, nor

school of Hillel allows it.

while it is yet day." But all of them the school of Hillel allow "with the
sun."

9. Said Rabbi Simon, the son of Gamaliel, "the house of my father used to
give white articles to a strange laundress three days before the Sabbath."
But both schools agree that "they may carry(96) beams to the oil-press and
logs to the wine-press."

10. "They must not fry flesh, onions, and eggs; except they be
sufficiently fried while it is yet day. They must not put bread in the
oven at dusk, nor a cake on coals, except its face be sufficiently crusted
while it is yet day." Rabbi Eliezer said, "that its under side be
