יוֹם טוֹב שֶׁחָל לִהְיוֹת עֶרֶב שַׁבָּת, לֹא יְבַשֵּׁל אָדָם בַּתְּחִלָּה מִיּוֹם טוֹב לַשַּׁבָּת, אֲבָל מְבַשֵּׁל הוּא לְיוֹם טוֹב, וְאִם הוֹתִיר, הוֹתִיר לַשַּׁבָּת, וְעוֹשֶׂה תַבְשִׁיל מֵעֶרֶב יוֹם טוֹב וְסוֹמֵךְ עָלָיו לַשַּׁבָּת. בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, שְׁנֵי תַבְשִׁילִין. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, תַּבְשִׁיל אֶחָד. וְשָׁוִין בְּדָג וּבֵיצָה שֶׁעָלָיו שֶׁהֵן שְׁנֵי תַבְשִׁילִין. אֲכָלוֹ אוֹ שֶׁאָבַד, לֹא יְבַשֵּׁל עָלָיו בַּתְּחִלָּה. וְאִם שִׁיֵּר מִמֶּנּוּ כָל שֶׁהוּא, סוֹמֵךְ עָלָיו לַשַּׁבָּת:

If yom tov fell on Sabbath eve, one should not cook to begin with from yom tov to Shabbath, but he cooks for yom tov, and if something is left over, it is left over for Shabbath. [That is, the beginning and prime intent of his cooking should not be for Shabbath, but for yom tov, and what is left over should be for Shabbath.] And he prepares a dish from yom tov eve [as an "eruv tavshilin" ("a mixing of cooking") and he relies upon it for Shabbath. [Some give the reason for this dish from yom tov eve as kavod Shabbath (honoring the Sabbath), i.e., Remembering Shabbath on yom tov eve, one will select a "choice portion" for Shabbath and will not forget Shabbath in the pre-yom tov activity. Others give the reason as kavod yom tov (honoring yom tov). Seeing that there is no baking from yom tov for Shabbath unless it were begun on yom tov eve, (in which instance it is merely completed on yom tov), one will understand that, a fortiori, there is no baking or cooking entirely from yom tov to a weekday. (The blessing for eruv tavshilin is the same as that for eruv chatzerorth ("a mixing of domains"). And he must grant (rights in his eruv) through another to all those who wish thereafter to rely upon his eruv, even without their knowledge; for benefit may be conferred upon others even in their absence.] Beth Shammai say: (He prepares) two dishes; and Beth Hillel say: one. And they agree that fish and the egg (placed) upon it are considered two dishes. If it [the dish that he prepared yom tov eve] were eaten or lost, he may not cook upon it (relying upon it) to begin with. And if anything were left of it, he may rely upon it [to cook on yom tov] for Shabbath. [But ab initio, eruv tavshilin does not obtain with less than an olive size, whether for one or a hundred. And if he began his dough and his eruv were lost, he finishes what he began.]
