[There are] three matters that R' Elazar ben Azaryah permits and the Sages prohibit: (a) His cow would go out [into the public domain] with the strap which is between its horns, (b) and one may curry an animal with a metal comb on Yom Tov, (c) and one may grind peppercorns even in their mill [on Yom Tov]. R' Yehudah says: One may not curry an animal with a metal comb on Yom Tov, because he makes a wound [in the pro-cess]; however, [R' Yehudah agrees that] one may curry with a wooden comb. But the Sages say: One may curry neither with a metal comb nor even with a wooden comb.

These matters [of dispute] are from the leniencies of Beis Shammai and from the stringencies of Beis Hillel: An egg that was laid on Yom Tov, Beis Shammai say [that] it may be eaten, but Beis Hillel say [that] it may not be eaten. Beis Shammai say: Leaven the volume of an olive and chametz the volume of a date [are prohibited on Pesach]. But Beis Hillel say: [Both] this and that [are prohibited if they are the volume] of an olive.

[But in the case of] an animal that was born on Yom Tov, all agree that it is permitted. And [in the case of] a chick that hatched from an egg [on Yom Tov], all agree that it is prohibited. If one slaughters a wild animal or a fowl on Yom Tov, Beis Shammai say: He may dig [up some earth] with a spade and cover [the blood]. But Beis Hillel say: He may not slaughter unless he has earth prepared [from before Yom Tov]. But [Beis Hil-lel] agree that if he had already slaughtered, he should dig [up some earth] with [the] spade and cover [the blood with it]. For the ashes of a stove are “prepared.”

Beis Shammai say: [Produce declared] owner-less for the poor [becomes] ownerless. But Beis Hillel say: It is not ownerless un-less it is declared ownerless with respect to the rich as well, as [is the case with] Shemittah. [If] all the sheaves of the field are each [the size] of one kav, and one is [the size] of four kavs, and he forgot that large [sheaf], Beis Shammai say that it is not [treated as] shich'chah, but Beis Hillel say that it is shich'chah.
