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.

If a sheaf is close to a wall, to a stack of grain, to cattle or to implements, and he forgot it, Beis Shammai say: It is not [treated as] shich'chah, but Beis Hillel say: It is shich'chah.

The fourth-year produce of a vineyard, Beis Shammai say, is subject neither to [the law of] a fifth nor to [the law of] removal. But Beis Hillel say: It is subject to [the law of a fifth] and to [the law of] removal. Beis Shammai say: It [fourth-year produce] is subject to [the laws of] peret and oleilos, and the poor people must re-deem [it] for themselves. But Beis Hillel say: All of it [goes] to the [owner's] winepress.

A barrel of olives pickling [in salt], Beis Shammai say [that] he does not have to perforate it, but Beis Hillel say [that] he does have to perforate [it]. However, [Beis Hillel] agree that if one did perforate [the barrel] but sediment [from the olives] blocked it, it is tahor. If one anointed himself with tahor oil and then became tamei, [and then] went down [into a mikveh] and immersed himself, Beis Shammai say: Even if he is [still] dripping [with oil after the immersion, he is] tahor. But Beis Hillel say: Enough [oil on the person] to anoint a small limb. But if [the] oil was tamei from the start, Beis Sham-mai say: Enough [oil on the person] to anoint a small limb. And Beis Hillel say: Liquid that moistens. R' Yehudah says in the name of Beis Hillel: It makes moist [enough to] moisten [something else].

A woman can be betrothed with a dinar or with something worth a dinar according to the view of Beis Shammai. But Beis Hillel say: with a pe-rutah or something worth a perutah. And how much is a perutah worth? One eighth of an Italian isar. Beis Shammai say: One may divorce his wife by [giving her] an “old get”; but Beis Hillel pro-hibit [this]. What is an “old get”? Any time he secludes himself with her after he wrote [the get] for her. One who divorces his wife and [then] she lodges with him in an inn, Beis Shammai say: She does not need a second get from him. But Beis Hillel say: She does need a second get from him. When? When she was divorced from nisuin; but if she was divorced from erusin, [they agree that] she does not need a second get from him, because he does not feel at ease with her.

Beis Shammai permit the co-wives [of an ervah] to the brothers [of the deceased], but Beis Hillel forbid [them]. [If] they performed chalitzah, Beis Shammai disqualify them from the Kehunah, but Beis Hillel deem [them] qualified. [If] they were taken in yibum, Beis Shammai deem [them] qualified, but Beis Hillel disqualify [them]. And even though these disqualify and these deem qualified, Beis Shammai did not refrain from marrying women of Beis Hillel, nor [did] Beis Hillel [refrain] from marrying women of Beis Shammai. And [despite] all of the tahor and tamei things that these deem tahor but these deem tamei, these did not refrain [from] preparing tahor foods on [the utensils of] these.

Three brothers, two of whom were married to two sisters, and [the third] one [was] a bachelor. If one of the sister's husbands died and the bachelor performed maamar with [the widow], and then his second brother died, Beis Shammai say: His wife [may remain] with him, and the other woman is discharged because [she is his] wife's sister. But Beis Hillel say: He must dis-charge his wife with [both] a get and chalitzah, and his [second] brother's wife with chalitzah. Concerning this they stated: “Woe unto him over his wife and woe unto him over his brother's wife.”

One who pronounces a vow [prohibiting] his wife to have marital relations, Beis Shammai say: Two weeks, but Beis Hillel say: One week. [If] she miscarries during the night beginning the eighty-first [day], Beis Shammai exempt [her] from [additional] offer-ings, but Beis Hillel obligate [her to bring additional offerings]. [Regarding] tzitzis in a linen night-cloak, Beis Shammai exempt it, but Beis Hillel obligate [it]. A basket of fruit for the Sabbath, Beis Shammai exempt it, but Beis Hillel rule [that it becomes] subject [to the tithing ob-ligation].

[If] someone declared a nezirus of long duration, completed his [term of] nezirus, and then came to the [Holy] Land, Beis Shammai say: [He must be] a nazir for thirty days. But Beis Hillel say: [He must be] a nazir from the beginning. Someone about whom two groups of wit-nesses were testifying, these testify that he declared two [terms of nezirus], and these testify that he declared five [terms of nezirus], Beis Shammai say: The testimony is split and there is no nezirus here. But Beis Hillel say: Two is included in five, so he is a nazir for two [terms].
