aken tithes?" "Have you prepared
erub?"(101) "Light the lamp." "It is doubtful if it be dark or not?"(102)
"They must not tithe that which is certainly untithed, and they must not
baptize vessels, and they must not light the lamps. But they may take
tithes of the doubtful heave-offering, and prepare erub, and cover up hot
water."

Chapter III

1. "A cooking oven which was heated with stubble or brushwood?" "They may
place on it cookery." "With oil-dregs and with wood?" "They must not place
it, till the coals are raked out, or ashes put in." The school of Shammai
say, "hot water, but not cookery." But the school of Hillel say, "hot
water and cookery." The school of Shammai say, "they may take it off, but
not place it back." But the school of Hillel say, "they may place it
back."

2. "A cooking stove, which was heated with stubble or brushwood?" "They

3. They must not put an egg beside a boiler, lest it be boiled. And they

were heated on a holiday, they are forbidden for washing but allowed for
drinking." "A skillet with attached brazier?" "If one rake out the coals
(on Friday evening), persons may drink its hot waters on Sabbath." "A pan
with double bottom?" "Even though the coals are raked out, they must not
drink of it."

5. "The boiler which is set aside (from the fire)?" "They must not put
into it cold water to be warmed; but they may put into it--or into a
cup--cold water to make it lukewarm." "A saucepan or an earthen pot, which
they took off boiling?" "They must not put into it spices, but they may
put them into a bowl or into a plate." Rabbi Judah says, "they may put
them into all vessels, excepting a thing in which there is vinegar or
fish-brine."

6. They must not put vessels under a lamp to catch the oil. "But if they
