But for the outer parts to make two loops72If the bast is used to crochet. for a small or large sieve. It was stated73Babli 68b, Tosephta 8:9.: “Palm fiber to make a handle for an Egyptian basket.” This you are saying for soft ones, but for hard ones to make a border74Of a basket.. If one took out a willow container he is liable75Cf. Tosephta 9:4. A complete vessel always induces liability even if it is miniaturized.. Palm leaves two. Vine shoots, for planting two, as animal feed a goat’s mouthful, as wood according to the measure of wood76Fuel to boil a chicken egg.. One who brings out two hairs from a horse’s tail or a cow’s tail is liable because one uses them to make snares77Babli 90b, Tosephta 9:1.. Bristles from pig, there are Tannaim who state, two, and there are Tannaim who state, one78Babli 90b, Tosephta 9:2. According to the Tosephta, R. Simeon states “one”; this is the only opinion quoted in the Babli.. He who says two, of soft ones, but he who says one, of hard ones. Kernels, for planting, two, as animal feed a pig’s mouthful79Babli 90b.. What is its mouthful? One. Others say, the number five80If it were four or less, a number would have been given rather than an indefinite “mouthful”.. If one took out calamint, hyssop, or thyme81Tosephta 8:31. The determination of the plant names follows Maimonides., if as human food, in the volume of a dried fig, if an animal feed a goat’s mouthful, as wood according to the measure of wood76Fuel to boil a chicken egg., if for sprinkling according to the measure of sprinkling82In the ceremony purifying from the impurity of the dead (Num. 19), two stalks of hyssop are used..

Rebbi Jehudah says, even after he showed it to the toll collector he is liable since he may show it to another toll collector85According to the Babli, to a supervisor of the toll collector who issued the receipt..” If one carries out a document of indebtedness, before he showed it to the debtor he is liable, after he showed it to the debtor he is not liable. Rebbi Jehudah says, even after he showed it to the debtor he is liable since he may show it to another debtor86Tosephta 8:12, Babli 78a. In the Babli the argument of R. Jehudah is more plausible: As long as the debt is not liquidated, even if the debtor has acknowledged the debt and promised to pay, the document is still needed. Once the debt is liquidated, the document either must be cut into pieces or invalidated in other ways; then its status is not that of a document but of erased paper..
נְייָר מָחוּק. תַּנֵּי. אִם יֵשׁ בּוֹ חָלָק כְּדֵי לִכְתוֹב שָׁתֵי אוֹתוֹת חַייָב. Erased paper It was stated: If it had empty space to write two letters on it he is liable87Even if the paper is not enough to tie over a perfume flask. Babli 78b..
