שְׁלֹשָׁה דְבָרִים רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בֶּן עֲזַרְיָה מַתִּיר, וַחֲכָמִים אוֹסְרִין. פָּרָתוֹ יוֹצְאָה בִרְצוּעָה שֶׁבֵּין קַרְנֶיהָ, וּמְקָרְדִין אֶת הַבְּהֵמָה בְּיוֹם טוֹב, וְשׁוֹחֲקִין אֶת הַפִּלְפְּלִין בָּרֵחַיִם שֶׁלָּהֶן. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אֵין מְקָרְדִין אֶת הַבְּהֵמָה בְּיוֹם טוֹב, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא עוֹשֶׂה חַבּוּרָה, אֲבָל מְקַרְצְפִין. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, אֵין מְקָרְדִין אַף לֹא מְקַרְצְפִין:

Three things were permitted by R. Elazar b. Azaryah and forbidden by the sages: His cow went out (into the public domain on Shabbath) with the strap between her horns [for adornment. And the sages said that it is a "burden" and not "adornment" to her. (It was not the cow of R. Elazar b. Azaryah, but that of his neighbor, but because he did not protest, it was called by his name.)], and a beast may be curried on Yom Tov [with a kind of iron comb with small teeth. One may comb and scratch a beast with it even though he thereby makes a sore], and he may crush peppers with their [small] mills [made for this purpose]. R. Yehudah says: A beast is not curried on Yom Tov because he thereby makes a sore; but he may scrape [it with a wooden comb, whose teeth are large and do not make a sore.] And the sages say: They are not curried and also not scraped, scraping being decreed against because of currying. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Elazar b. Azaryah, except in the instance of currying a beast alone; for in this he follows the view of R. Shimon, who says that something not intended (like making a sore, in this instance) is permitted, and we rule according to him. And the sages who differ with him hold with R. Yehudah, who says that something not intended is forbidden, and this is not the halachah.]
