Jerusalem Talmud Shabbat 20:3

משנה: אֵין שׁוֹרִין אֶת הַחִלְתִּית בַּפּוֹשְׁרִין אֲבָל נוֹתְנָהּ לְתוֹךְ הַחֹמֶץ. אֵין שׁוֹרִין אֶת הַכַּרְשִׁינִין וְלֹא שָׁפִין אוֹתָן. אֲבָל נוֹתֵן הוּא לְתוֹךְ הַקְעָרָה אוֹ לְתוֹךְ הַכַּלְכָּלָה. אֵין כּוֹבְרִין אֶת הַתֶּבֶן בַּכְּבָרָה וְלֹא יִתְּנֶנּוּ בְמָקוֹם גָּבוֹהַּ בִּשְׁבִיל שֶׁיֵּרֵד הַמּוֹץ אֲבָל נוֹטֵל בַכְּבָרָה וְנוֹתֵן לְתוֹךְ הָאֵבוּס׃ MISHNAH: One does not soak asafoetida¹⁴To use as spice or for medical reasons. in lukewarm water but one may add it to vinegar¹⁵As a spice.. One does not soak vetch¹⁶Cf. Mishnah 1:8, Note 13. This Mishnah is not a complete repetition of Mishnah 1:8 since here one also forbids short-term immersion in water to separate the vetch from the chaff, which would be a violation of the biblical prohibition of selecting the good out of a mixture of good and bad. and does not smooth it, but one may put it into a pot or into a bag¹⁷Since shaking grain in a sieve is a biblical prohibition (Mishnah 7:2); the corresponding motion is forbidden for all kinds of produce.. One does not shake straw in a sieve¹⁸Since this is biblically forbidden. and does not expose it on an elevated place to cause the chaff to fall down, but one may take it in a sieve to put it into a trough¹⁹Since there is an obligation to feed one’s animals, one may use a vessel to move the animal feed in such a way that automatically much chaff will be blown away without the action of a rabbi..

הלכה: אָמַר רִבִּי מָנָא. כֵּינִי מַתְנִיתָא. אֲבָל נוֹתְנָהּ לְפָנָיו לְתוֹךְ הַחוֹמֶץ. רַב הוּנָא אָמַר. לֹא שָׁנוּ אֶלָּא בְפוֹשְׁרִין. הָא בְצוֹנִין מוּתָּר. רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן בְשֵׁם רִבִּי יַנַּאי. אֲפִילוּ בְצוֹנִין אָסוּר. אָמַר לוֹ רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן. וַהֲלֹא לֹא שָׁנוּ אֶלָּא בְפוֹשְׁרִין. אֶלָּא עַל חִנָּם יָגַעְנוּ. HALAKHAH: Rebbi Mana said, so is the Mishnah: But one may put it in vinegar in his presence⁴⁸This refers to Shabbat 20:3:1" href="/Jerusalem_Talmud_Shabbat.20.3.1">Mishnah 3. In no case may one soak for an extended period; even into vinegar one may put asa foetida only for immediate use.. Rav Huna said, they taught only lukewarm water; therefore it is permitted in cold water. Rebbi Joḥanan in the name of Rebbi Yannai, even in cold water it is forbidden⁴⁹Shabbat.140a">Babli 140a.. Rebbi Joḥanan said to him, did they not teach only lukewarm water? (But) {He said to him]⁵⁰The text of E [in brackets] is preferable to the text of the Leiden ms. (in parentheses)., did we exert ourselves for nothing⁵¹As the Babli explains, the mention of lukewarm water only is R. Yose (ben Ḥalafta’s) opinion which in this case is a minority opinion, rather than practice.

רַב הוּנָא אָמַר. מֵי חִלְתִּית מוּתָּר לִשְׁתּוֹתָהּ בַּשַּׁבָּת. שְׁמוּאֵל אָמַר. חִלְתִּית עַצְמָהּ מַאֲכָל בְּרִיאִים (הוּא) [הִיא]. רַב הוּנָא אָמַר. מָאן דַּאֲכַל מַתְקַל זוּזָא מִינֵּיהּ מִסְתַּכֵּן וְעוֹרוֹ נֶחֱלַץ. רִבִּי בָּא אֲכַל מַתְקַל זוּזָא מִינָּהּ וּפְרַשׁ לִנְהָרָא. Rav Huna said, one is permitted to drink asa foetida water on the Sabbath. Samuel said, asa foetida in itself is healthy persons’ food⁵²Therefore the water is not qualified as exclusively used as medicine and as not forbidden on the Sabbath.. Rav Huna said, he who eats the weight of a zuz⁵³Half a sheqel, in talmudic times identified with the Roman denarius, approximately 3.6 g. from it is in danger and his skin is loosened. Rebbi Abba ate the weight of a zuz from it and jumped in the river⁵⁴To counteract the sedative effect of the drug..

אֵין שׁוֹרִין אֶת הַכַּרְשִׁינִין. מִשּׁוּם בּוֹרֵר. וְאֵין שָׁפִין אוֹתָן. מִשּׁוּם דָּשׁ. אֵין כּוֹבְרִין אֶת הַתֶּבֶן בַּכְּבָרָה וְלֹא יִתְּנֶנָּהּ בְמָקוֹם גָּבוֹהַּ בִּשְׁבִיל שֶׁיֵּרֵד הַמּוֹץ. מִשּׁוּם מְרַקֵּיד. [It was stated:]⁵⁵Added from E. “One does not soak vetch,” because of selecting; “and does not smooth it,” because of threshing. “One does not shake straw in a sieve and does not expose it on an elevated place to cause the chaff to fall,” because of sifting⁵⁶Since these activities can be classified under some of the forbidden 39 categories of work, the prohibitions are biblical..
