An egg that was laid on Yom Tov — Beis Shammai say: It may be eaten. But Beis Hillel say: It may not be eaten. Beis Shammai say: Leavening the volume of an olive; and chametz the volume of a date. But Beis Hillel say: This or that the volume of an olive.

One who slaughters a beast or a fowl on Yom Tov — Beis Shammai say: He may dig with a spade and cover [the blood]. But Beis Hillel say: He may not slaughter, unless he had earth prepared from the day before. But they agree that if he already slaughtered, he should dig with a spade and cover [the blood with earth] — for the ashes of a stove are [considered] prepared.

Beis Shammai say: We may not move the ladder from one dovecote to another, but may lean it from one window to another. But Beis Hillel permit it. Beis Shammai say: One should not take [doves out of the dovecote on Yom Tov] unless one had held them before Yom Tov. But Beis Hillel say: He may stand and say, ‘‘This one and that one I will take.’’

If one had designated [before Yom Tov] black [doves] but [on Yom Tov] found white [doves], [or if he had designated] white [doves] but found black [doves], or [if he had designated] two and found three — they are prohibited. [If he had designated] three but found [only] two — they are permissible. [If the designated doves had been] in the nest, but he found [doves] in front of the nest, they are prohibited. But if there were none there except these, then these are permitted [to be slaughtered].

Beis Shammai say: We may not remove the shutters on Yom Tov. But Beis Hillel permit even their replacement. Beis Shammai say: We may not take the pestle to chop meat upon it. But Beis Hillel permit it. Beis Shammai say: We may not put the hide [of a freshly slaughtered animal] where it will be trampled, nor may we pick it up, unless meat the volume of an olive is on it. But Beis Hillel permit it. Beis Shammai say: We may not carry out, neither a small child, nor a lulav, nor a Torah scroll to the public domain. But Beis Hillel permit it.

Beis Shammai say: We may not deliver challah, or [the Kohen’s] gifts, to a Kohen on Yom Tov — whether they were separated yesterday or they were separated today. But Beis Hillel permit it. Beis Shammai said to them: There is an analogy. Challah and gifts are grants to the Kohen and terumah is a grant to the Kohen. Just as we may not bring the terumah [to the Kohen on Yom Tov], so may we not bring the gifts. Beis Hillel answered them: No [it is not analogous]! If you say so regarding terumah which one may not separate [on Yom Tov], will you also say the same thing regarding gifts which one may separate [on Yom Tov]?

Beis Shammai say: Spices may be crushed [on Yom Tov] with a wooden pestle, but salt [should be crushed] with a flask, or with a wooden mixing spoon. But Beis Hillel say: Spices may be crushed in their usual manner with a stone pestle, but salt [should be crushed] with a wooden pestle.

One who separates pulse on Yom Tov — Beis Shammai say: He must separate the edible parts and eat. But Beis Hillel say: He may separate in his usual manner — into his lap, into a basket or into a large plate; but not on a board, nor with a fine sieve, nor with a coarse sieve. Rabban Gamliel says: He may also rinse [the pulse] and skim [the chaff].

Beis Shammai say: We may not send [presents] on Yom Tov with the exception of [readied] portions. But Beis Hillel say: We may send domestic animals, beasts or fowl, whether alive or slaughtered. We may send wines, oils, fine flours and pulse, but not grain. But R’ Shimon permits grain [to be sent].

We may send garments, whether sewn up or not sewn up, even if they contain a mixture of wool and linen, because they enhance the [enjoyment of] Yom Tov. But [we may] not [send] a sandal with spikes, nor an unsewn shoe. Rabbi Yehudah says: Not even a white shoe [may be sent], because it requires a craftsman. This is the rule: Whatever can be used may be sent on Yom Tov.

During three periods of the year all [twenty-four] watches were equal in the prescribed offerings of the festivals and in the division of the Panim Bread.  On Shavuos they would say to him, “Here is matzah for you; here is chametz for you!”  The watch whose time [of service] was fixed —- [only] it offers the daily burnt-offerings, vow-offerings, freewill-offerings, the remaining public offerings, and [this watch] offers everything.  If a festival fell near a Sabbath, either before it or after it, all the watches shared equally in the division of the Panim Bread.

If one day intervened between them, the watch whose time was fixed took ten loaves, and the one that stayed behind took two. But during the rest of the year, the incoming [watch] took six [loaves] and the outgoing [watch] took six. R’ Yehudah says: The incoming [watch] took seven and the outgoing [watch] took five.  The incoming [watch] divided [the bread] in the north and the outgoing [watch] in the south.  [The watch of] Bilgah always divided [the bread] in the south, its ring was permanently affixed, and its window was sealed.
