משנה: לֹא יִקּוֹב אָדָם שְׁפוֹפֶרֶת שֶׁל בֵּיצָה וִימַלְאֶנָּה שֶׁמֶן וְיִתְּנֶינָּה עַל פִּי הַנֵּר בִּשְׁבִיל שֶׁתְּהֵא מְנַטֶּפֶת אֲפִילוּ הִיא שֶׁל חֶרֶס וְרִבִּי יְהוּדָה מַתִּיר. אֲבָל אִם חִבְּרָהּ הַיּוֹצֵר מִתְּחִילָּה מוּתָּר. לֹא יְמַלֵּא אָדָם קְעָרָה שֶׁמֶן וְיִתְּנֶנָּה בְּצַד הַנֵּר וְיִתֵּן רֹאשׁ הַפְּתִילָה בְּתוֹכוֹ בִּשְׁבִיל שֶׁתְּהֵא שׁוֹאֶבֶת. וְרִבִּי יְהוּדָה מַתִּיר׃ MISHNAH: A person may not pierce an eggshell17An egg-shaped container. If the container is not rigidly connected to the light, one might be tempted to move or remove it., fill it with oil, and put it over a light so it should drip even if it is made from clay; Rebbi Jehudah permits it. But if the potter combined it from the outset it is permitted. A person may not fill a bowl with oil, put it next to a light and dip the end of the wick into it so it should draw; Rebbi Jehudah permits it.
הלכה: מתני׳ לֹא יִקּוֹב אָדָם שְׁפוֹפֶרֶת שֶׁלְּבֵיצָה. לָמָּה. מִשּׁוּם שֶׁלֹּא הוּתְחַל בְּכָל־טִיפָּה וְטִיפָּה. אוֹ שֶׁמָּא יִשְׁכַּח וִיעָרֶה. מַה נְפִיק מִן בֵּינֵיהוֹן. הָהֵן זְקוּקָה דיקלון. אִין תֵּימַר. מִשֵּׁם שֶׁלֹּא הוּתְחַל בְּכָל־טִיפָּה. הֲרֵי לֹא הוּתְחַל בְּכָל־טִיפָּה וְטִיפָּה. אִין תֵּימַר. שֶׁמָּא יִשְׁכַּח וִיעָרֶה. הֲרֵי אֵינוֹ שׁוֹכֵחַ וּמְעָרֶה. HALAKHAH: “A person may not pierce an eggshell17An egg-shaped container. If the container is not rigidly connected to the light, one might be tempted to move or remove it..” Why? Because it did not start at each single drop137A condition for leaving things burning on the Sabbath; Shabbat 1:5:2" href="/Jerusalem_Talmud_Shabbat.1.5.2">Chapter 1 Note 355., or maybe he might forget and stir? What is the difference between them? This refined 138The identity of this “refined diklon” is unknown (as noted by Sokoloff in his Dictionary of Jewish Palestinian Aramaic) and why one would not be tempted to stir. The conjectures of the commentaries (bast fiber bags, opening of a pitcher) and earlier dictionaries are of no value.דיקלון. If you are saying, because it did not start at each single drop, it did not stop at every single drop; if you say. maybe be might forget and stir, he will not forget and stir.
אִם חִיבְּרָהּ הַיּוֹצֵר מִתְּחִילָּה מוּתָּר מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא כֶלִי אֶחָד. שַׁנְייָא הִיא. שֶׁכּוּלָּהּ אֶחָד. אֶלָּא אִם חִיבְּרָהּ בְּסִיד אוֹ בְגִיפּסוֹס. יְאוּת. דְּרִבִּי יוּדָה כְדַעְתֵּיהּ. דְּרִבִּי יוּדָה אָמַר. מַשְׁקֶה טוֹפַח חִיבּוּר. תַּנֵּי. פְּתִילָה אַחַת בִּשְׁנֵי כוֹסוֹת בִּשְׁתֵּי קְעָרוֹת בִּשְׁנֵי תַמְחוּיִין אָסוּר. רִבִּי יוּדָה מַתִּיר. רִבִּי חֲנַנְיָה בְשֵׁם רִבִּי פִינְחָס. רִבִּי יוּדָה כְדַעְתֵּיהּ. דְּרִבִּי יוּדָה אָמַר. מַשְׁקֶה טוֹפַח חִיבּוּר. “If the potter combined it from the outset it is permitted since it is one vessel.” There is a difference because all is one, if he combined it by lime or gypsum139Shabbat.29b">Babli 29b, Tosephta 2:6. This is the condition of the majority to allow the light to burn. G has a different text: “If it had said, if he combined it by lime or gypsum.” This refers to the Mishnah; if the text of the Tosephta had been that of the Mishnah, the question asked in the previous paragraph would have superfluous since the reason for the prohibition cannot be that not every drop was involved.
גִּיפְּסוֹס is Greek γύψος “gypsum; cement”.. Rebbi Jehudah follows his own opinion since Rebbi Jehudah says moist liquid is a connection140In the Babli, Avodah zarah 72b, this refers mainly to transfer of impurity. Solid material impure in degree n makes other materials impure in degree n+1. There is a discussion about fluids; there are those who assert that fluids do not touch, they combine and everything moistened by impure fluids biblically becomes impure in the same degree as the fluid itself. (Rabbinically it can be stronger impurity; Shabbat 1:4:4" href="/Jerusalem_Talmud_Shabbat.1.4.4">Chapter 1, Note 299). R. Jehudah accepts this statement and extends it to other legal domains, such as the laws of the Sabbath.. It was stated: One wick in two cups, in two pots, in two trays is forbidden; Rebbi Jehudah permits. Rebbi Ḥananiah in the name of Rebbi Phineas: Rebbi Jehudah follows his own opinion since Rebbi Jehudah says moist liquid is a connection.
