According to the opinion of Beth Shammai, a fowl may be brought up on the table [together] with cheese but may not be eaten [with it] but Beth Hillel say: it may neither be brought up [together with it] nor eaten [with it] according to the opinion of Beth Shammai, olives may be given as Terumah for oil and grapes for wine. But Beth Hillel say: they may not be given. Beth Shammai say: whoso sows [within] four cubits of a vineyard has caused one row [of vines] to be prohibited. But Beth Hillel say: He has caused two rows to be prohibited. Flour paste Beth Shammai exempt [from the Law of Hallah ]; but Beth Hillel pronounce it liable. One may immerse oneself in a rain-torrent, according to the opinion of Beth Shammai; but Beth Hillel say: one may not immerse oneself [therein]. If one became a proselyte on the Eve of Passover, Beth Shammai say: He may immerse himself and eat his Passover sacrifice in the Evening. But Beth Hillel say: whoso separates himself from uncircumcision is as one who separates himself from the grave. |
