MISHNAH: A person may lift his son with a stone in the latter’s hand, or a basket with a stone in it [It is possible to carry muqṣeh items with other things which may be moved on the Sabbath. Chapter 3, Note 219; Chapter 17, Note 67.] . One may move impure heave together with pure one or with profane food. Rebbi Jehudah says, one also may lift demaˋ by 101 [Profane food mixed with less than 1% of heave becomes permitted to lay people if a replacement heave is taken from it; cf. Terumah 4:7, Orlah 2:1.] .
MISHNAH: An amphora covered by a stone: one tilts it and the stone falls down [Since the amphora may be moved with the stone but the stone by itself is muqṣeh,the stone cannot be lifted from the mouth of the amphora but must be removed by moving the amphora. The same argument applies to coins on a pillow.] . If it was between amphoras one lifts it [One lifts the entire amphora and puts it down at a place where it can be tilted.] , tilts it and the stone falls down. Coins on a pillow: one shakes the pillow and they fall down. If chicken droppings were on it, one cleans it with a rag [Pouring water on textiles is forbidden as washing; therefore only rubbing off dry is possible on the Sabbath.] . If it was of leather, one pours water on it [While washing leather is also forbidden as washing, simply pouring water on it without rubbing is not considered washing and is permitted.] until it disappears.
MISHNAH: The House of Hillel say, one removes from the table bones and shells [These belong to the garbage and as such should be muqṣeh. The House of Hillel follow R. Simeon who restricts the notion of muqṣeh to things not usable at the start of the Sabbath. (The Mishnah in the Babli switches the statement of the Houses of Hillel and Shammai, but this is immediately corrected in the Babli’s Halakhah.)] , but the House of Shammai say, one removes the entire table and shakes it [Latin tabula, -ae, f. Since the table (or the table top if not attached to the legs) may be moved on the Sabbath, the statement of the House of Shammai follows the rule established in Mishnah 1.] . One removes from the table crumbs less than olive size, hair [The shell.] of chick-peas and lentils, since it is animal feed. One cleans with a sponge [Greek σπόγγος, ὁ.] if it has a leather handle; otherwise one does not clean with it [Since squeezing water out of the sponge would be biblically forbidden, one may clean the table only with a sponge that has a handle and was not wetted, when it is presumed that cleansing without squeezing is possible.] . The Sages say in any case it may be taken on the Sabbath [Even if it has no handle it is an implement and can be moved on the Sabbath.] and is impervious to impurity [The sponge is neither wood, nor metal, nor earthenware, nor textile, and therefore not of material susceptible to impurity.] .
