One who takes out, either with his right hand or with his left hand, in his bosom, or on his shoulder, is liable, for such was the [method of] carrying used by the sons of Kehath. [If he carried] backhandedly: with his foot, in his mouth, with his elbow, in his ear, in his hair, in his moneybelt with its opening [hanging] downward, between his moneybelt and his shirt, in the hem of his shirt, in his shoe, or in his sandal, he is exempt, because he did not carry out in a manner of those who carry things out.

One who intended to take out [an object] in front of him, and it slipped behind him, is exempt; behind him, and it shifted to the front of him, is liable. Indeed, they said: A woman girded with an apron, whether in front of her or behind her, is liable, for it is common [for it] to shift around. R’ Yehudah says: Also letter carriers.

One who takes a loaf of bread out to a public domain is liable; if two [people] took it out, they are [both] exempt. If one could not take it out [by himself] and two took it out, they are [both] liable. R’ Shimon, however, exempts [them]. One who takes out foodstuffs less than the prescribed amount in a vessel is exempt even for the vessel, because the vessel is secondary to it; a live person on a bed, he is exempt even for the bed, for the bed is secondary to him; a corpse on a bed, he is liable. And similarly, [one who takes out a part] of a corpse the size of an olive, or [a piece] of an animal’s carcass the size of an olive, or [a piece] of a dead sheretz the size of a lentil, he is liable. R’ Shimon, however, exempts [him].

One who removes his fingernails one with the other, or with his teeth, and similarly, [one who removes] his hair, his moustache, or his beard [in such a manner]; and one who braids [her hair], or paints [her eyes], or parts [her hair], R’ Eliezer declares lia-ble. But the Sages prohibit [them] as Rabbinical enactments. One who detaches [a plant] from a perforated flowerpot is liable; [from] an unperforated one, is exempt. R’ Shimon, however, exempts in both cases.
