There, immediately one takes it without the wall of the Temple Court it becomes unfit as that which has gone out, whereas there is no culpability for the [violation of the] Sabbath until he carries it into public ground. But here the Sabbath and defilement come simultaneously.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' As it comes to rest the action of throwing is completed. and simultaneously the standard for defilement is reached. ');"><sup>3</sup></span> IF HE CARRIES IT BACK AGAIN, HE IS LIABLE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS STANDARD. But that is obvious? Said Abaye: What case do we discuss here? E.g., if he throws it on to a store, but its place is [distinctly] recognizable.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' He did not actually state that he had changed his mind, but let it be inferred from the fact that he threw it on to a store of other grain.
