בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, אֵין נוֹתְנִין אוּנִין שֶׁל פִּשְׁתָּן לְתוֹךְ הַתַּנּוּר, אֶלָּא כְּדֵי שֶׁיַּהְבִּילוּ מִבְּעוֹד יוֹם, וְלֹא אֶת הַצֶּמֶר לַיּוֹרָה, אֶלָּא כְדֵי שֶׁיִּקְלֹט הָעַיִן. וּבֵית הִלֵּל מַתִּירִין. בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, אֵין פּוֹרְשִׂין מְצוּדוֹת חַיָּה וְעוֹפוֹת וְדָגִים, אֶלָּא כְדֵי שֶׁיִּצּוֹדוּ מִבְּעוֹד יוֹם. וּבֵית הִלֵּל מַתִּירִין:

Beth Shammai say: Bundles of flax are not placed into the oven [to whiten], unless they are [fully steamed] while it is yet day; nor wool into the [dyer's] vat, unless the color take [while it is yet day.] Beth Hillel permit it, [i.e., to put it there while it is yet day and have the color take the entire night. Beth Hillel permit it only in a vat removed from the fire. For if there is a fire under it on the Sabbath, it is forbidden — a gezeirah, lest he stir the coals. And the vat must also be closed and sealed with lime — a gezeirah lest he stir and mix it on the Sabbath and be liable by reason of "cooking"]. Beth Shammai say: Nets are not spread (for trapping) animals, birds, or fish, unless they be trapped while it is still day. Beth Hillel permit it.
