Shabbat 251:1

בין קשור בין שאינו קשור והוא שמתוקן

Whether it is fastened or not, providing that it was prepared.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For this purpose before the Sabbath. ');">¹</span>

א"ל ר' ירמיה ולימא מר בין תלוי ובין שאינו תלוי והוא שקשור דאמר רבה בר בר חנה א"ר יוחנן כמחלוקת כאן כך מחלוקת בנגר הנגרר דתנן נגר הנגרר נועלין בו במקדש אבל לא במדינה והמונח כאן וכאן אסור ר' יהודה אומר המונח במקדש והנגרר במדינה

Said R. Jeremiah to him, But let the Master say, Whether it is suspended or not, providing that it is fastened;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Before the Sabbath, i.e., explain the Mishnah stringently, instead of leniently. ');">²</span>

ותניא איזהו נגר הנגרר שנועלין בו במקדש אבל לא במדינה כל שקשור ותלוי וראשו מגיע לארץ ר' יהודה אומר זה אף במדינה מותר אלא איזהו שבמדינה אסור כל שאינו לא קשור ולא תלוי ושומטו ומניחו בקרן זוית

for Rabbah b. Bar Hanah said in R. Johanan's name: Just as there is a controversy here, so is there a controversy in respect of a dragging bolt.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'a bolt that is dragged'. I.e., a door-bolt, fastened to the door, but one end thereof drags on the floor. ');">³</span>

ואמר רבי יהושע בר אבא משמיה דעולא מאן תנא נגר הנגרר ר"א היא

For we learnt: With a dragging bolt, one may lock [the door] in the Temple, but not in the country;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' 'Country' is employed technically to denote all places except the Temple. — Since it is fastened to the door, it is as though built thereto, and therefore the prohibition of handling it is only a Rabbinical one, which was imposed in the country but not in the Temple. ');">⁴</span>

א"ל אנא דאמרי כי האי תנא דתניא קנה שהתקינו בעה"ב להיות פותח ונועל בו בזמן שקשור ותלוי בפתח פותח ונועל בו אין קשור ותלוי אין פותח ונועל בו רשב"ג אומר מתוקן אע"פ שאינו קשור

but one that is laid apart [on the ground]<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' It is not fastened at all, but when removed from the sockets it is simply placed on the ground. ');">⁵</span>

אמר רב יהודה בר שילת אמר רב אסי א"ר יוחנן הלכה כרשב"ג

is forbidden in both places. R. Judah said: That which is laid apart [is permitted] in the Temple; and that which is dragged, in the country. Now it was taught: Which is a dragging bolt wherewith we may close (a door] in the Temple but not in the country? That which is fastened (to the door] and suspended — one end reaching the ground. R. Judah said: Such is permitted even in the country. But which is forbidden in the country? That which is neither fastened nor suspended — but which one removes and places in a corner. Further, R. Joshua b. Abba said in 'Ulla's name: Who is the Tanna of 'a dragging bolt?'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Requiring both that it be fastened and suspended. ');">⁶</span>

ומי אמר רבי יוחנן הכי והתנן כל כסויי הכלים

It is R. Eleazar!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Whereas R. Judah will agree with the Rabbis. From this passage we see that all agree that it must be tied. ');">⁷</span> Said he to him, I hold with the following Tanna. For it was taught: If a private individual prepares<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., sets aside. ');">⁸</span> a cane for opening and shutting [a door] therewith: if it is tied and suspended to the door, he may open and shut [it] therewith; if it is not tied and suspended may not open and shut [it] therewith. R. Simeon b. Gamaliel ruled: If it is prepared<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., since it has been devoted to this purpose. ');">⁹</span> even if it is not fastened.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' It may be used for opening and shutting. R. Abba rules in accordance with this. ');">¹⁰</span> R. Judah b. Shilath said in R. Assi's name in R. Johanan's name: The <i>halachah</i> is as R. Simeon b. Gamaliel. Now, did R. Johanan say thus? Surely we learnt: All lids of vessels
