Translation:Mishnah/Seder Moed/Tractate Shabbat/Chapter 1/1

Hebrew Text

 * יציאות השבת
 * שתיים שהן ארבע בפנים,
 * ושתיים שהן ארבע בחוץ.


 * כיצד?


 * העני עומד בחוץ ובעל הבית בפנים:


 * פשט העני את ידו לפנים,
 * ונתן לתוך ידו של בעל הבית;
 * או שנטל מתוכה והוציא;
 * העני חייב, ובעל הבית פטור.


 * פשט בעל הבית את ידו לחוץ,
 * ונתן לתוך ידו של עני;
 * או שנטל מתוכה והכניס;
 * בעל הבית חייב, והעני פטור.


 * פשט העני את ידו לפנים,
 * ונטל בעל הבית מתוכה;
 * או שנתן לתוכה והוציא;
 * שניהם פטורין.


 * פשט בעל הבית את ידו לחוץ,
 * ונטל העני מתוכה;
 * או שנתן לתוכה והכניס;
 * שניהם פטורין.
