Pepper, any amount; tar, any amount; types of spices and types of metals, any amount; of the Altar stones, of the Altar earth, decay of old scrolls, or decay of their wraps, any amount, for we put them away to save them. R’ Yehudah says: Also, one who takes out accessories of [objects of] idolatry, any amount, for it is stated: Nothing of that which is banned shall cleave to your hand (Deuteronomy 13:18).

One who takes out a peddler’s basket, though it contains many sorts, is liable for but one sin offering. Garden seeds, less than the equivalent of a dried fig. R’ Yehudah ben Beseira says: Five. Cucmber seeds, two; gourd seeds, two; Egyptian bean seeds, two; a live ko-sher locust, any size; [a] dead [one], the size of a dried fig; a bird of the vineyards, whether alive or dead, any size, for they store it for medicinal purposes. R’ Yehudah says: Also, one who takes out a live non-kosher locust [is liable for] any size, since they store it for a child to play with.

One who stored [a seed to be used] for sowing, or as a sample, or for medicine, and took it out on the Sabbath, is liable for any amount. Other people, however, are not liable except for its prescribed amount. If he changed his mind and brought it in, he is not liable except for its prescribed amount.

One who took out foodstuffs and placed them on the threshold, whether he [him-self] subsequently returned and took them out or whether someone else took them out, he is exempt, since he did not perform his work at one time. [One who took out] a basket which was full of produce, and placed it on the outer threshold, even though the greater portion of the produce is outside, he is exempt until he takes out the entire basket.
