אמר אביי נקטינן טימא טהרותיו ומת לא קנסו בנו אחריו מאי טעמא היזק שאינו ניכר לא שמיה היזק לדידיה קנסו רבנן לבריה לא קנסו רבנן:

Said Abaye, We have it on tradition that if a man has defiled his fellow's clean [produce]<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which had been carefully guarded by the owner from contamination, if the malefactor spitefully threw (for instance) a dead reptile on the heap of washed corn or among the gathered olives or grapes (cf. Lev. XI, 29-34) . Priests' due of these could not be eaten, but might only be burnt as fuel. Pious lay-people would not buy such produce.');"><sup>9</sup></span> and dies they do not penalize his son after him [to pay for the damage caused]. What is the reason? 'Imperceptible damage<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' As there is no visible change in the produce that has been thus deteriorated, he call say that all is still as it was.');"><sup>10</sup></span>

Mishnah Sheviit

A field from which thorns had been removed may be sown in the eighth year. But if it had been improved upon, or cattle had been allowed to live upon it, it may not be sown in the eighth year. A field which had been improved upon in the seventh year: Bet Shammai says: they may not eat its produce in the seventh year, But Bet Hillel says: they may eat. Bet Shammai says: they may not eat produce of the sabbatical year with an expression of thanks. But Bet Hillel says: they may eat [sabbatical year produce] with an expression for thanks and without an expression of thanks. Rabbi Judah says: the statements must be reversed, for this is one of the instances where Bet Shammai is lenient and Bet Hillel is stringent.
