משנה: יֵין נֶסֶךְ שֶׁנָּפַל לַבּוֹר כּוּלּוֹ אָסוּר בַּהֲנָייָה. רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר יִמָּכֵר כּוּלּוֹ לְגוֹי חוּץ מִדְּמֵי יֵין נֶסֶךְ שֶׁיֵּשׁ בּוֹ׃ MISHNAH: If libation wine fell into a cistern, the entire cistern is forbidden for usufruct. Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel said, all of it shall be sold to a Gentile except for the value of libation wine contained in it177If the wine is sold by volume, the Gentile shall not be required to pay for the volume of libation wine contained in the cistern. Libation wine cannot become insignificant; there is no volume of the cistern which would make the wine kosher to drink. According to Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel the prohibition of usufruct does not extend to the mixture..

HALAKHAH: “If libation wine fell into a cistern,” etc. Rebbi Yose, Rebbi Joḥanan in the name of ben Bathyra: If libation wine fell into a cistern, all of it shall be sold to a Gentile except for the value of libation wine178The lenient ruling of Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel is a traditional Babylonian one.. Rebbi Samuel bar Nathan in the name of Rebbi Ḥama: practice follows Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel179In the Babli, 74a, this is a ruling of the prestigious Rav Naḥman. Here it is quoted in the name of obscure authorities because it is not unquestionable.. Rebbi Yasa said, one of the rabbis came out from the house of assembly and said, Rebbi Joḥanan and Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish disagree. One said, practice follows Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel, and one said, practice does not follow Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel, but Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel agrees that as wine for cooking it is forbidden180As explained in Avodah Zarah 5:13:1" href="/Jerusalem_Talmud_Avodah_Zarah.5.13.1">Note 177, even for Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel libation wine remains forbidden even in the most minute amount; it is only that the mixture does not entirely become forbidden for all usufruct.. Rebbi Bun in the name of Rav: The Sages agree with Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel if it was an amphora among amphoras that all of it shall be sold to a Gentile except for the value of libation wine181This is Rav’s interpretation of Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel’s ruling in the Babli 74a. If an amphora in a storage facility with at least two other amphoras was contaminated with libation wine and it can no longer be identified, all amphoras can be sold to Gentiles since for each single one the probability that it was the forbidden one is less than 50% which makes the sale acceptable by biblical standards.. Rebbi Ze`ira said before Rebbi Immi: Before this was said did we not know that it was so182That even a person rejecting the opinion of Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel could agrees with the ruling.? Was it said that the Sages agree with Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel, or perhaps was only said that Rabban Gamliel agrees with the Sages? Rebbi Yudan said, Rebbi Ze`ira knew that it was so, but he is like a person who hears something and objects to it183He does not question that practice follows Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel in all cases, also of a single cistern or a single amphora, following Samuel in the Babli 74a. He only makes it clear that this is a practical ruling without theoretical underpinning..
