ולרשב"ג דאמר משום רבי שמעון בן הסגן דוחה את י"ט ואינו דוחה את יום צום מאי איכא למימר

[occurred before the Sabbath], it is eaten on the Sabbath on the eleventh day, because it [the baking of the shewbread] does not override either the Sabbath or the Festival. Now if you say [that] the requirements of the Sabbath may be prepared on a Festival, why does it not override the Festival?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Since baking on a Festival for the Sabbath (without an 'erub) is thus but a Rabbinical prohibition (a shebuth; v. Glos.) and as since does not apply to the Temple.');">5 - Said he to him, A near shebuth they permitted; a distant shebuth they did not permit.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., they permitted the abrogation of the shebuth in the Temple when it was shortly required, viz., for that same Sabbath, but not when it would only be required a week later.');">6

Tosefta Beitzah (Lieberman)

One must not work for the food of the Gentiles or for the fodder of the dogs on the holiday. An incident is told about Shimon of Timnah who did not go to the house of study on the night of the holiday came. At the early in the morning R. Yehuda ben Baba met him. He said to him: Why didn't you come to the house of study last night? He said to him: A duty has come upon me, and I have fulfilled it. A band of Gentiles came into the city. I feared they would harm the residents. So, we slaughtered a calf and gave it to them to eat! He said to him: I should be surprised if your reward were not outweighed by your damage. Didn't they say: One must not work for the food of the Gentiles or for the fodder of the dogs on the holiday?!
