בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, אֵין מוֹכְרִין לַנָּכְרִי וְאֵין טוֹעֲנִין עִמּוֹ וְאֵין מַגְבִּיהִין עָלָיו, אֶלָּא כְּדֵי שֶׁיַּגִּיעַ לְמָקוֹם קָרוֹב. וּבֵית הִלֵּל מַתִּירִין:

Beth Shammai say: One should not sell to a gentile (on Sabbath eve), and he should not load [things onto a donkey] with him, and he should not lift [a load] onto him [i.e., onto his back, for it gives the impression that he is assisting him to carry the load on the Sabbath] — unless he is going to a place that is nearby [i.e., so that the place he wishes to carry it to be close enough to reach while it is still day.] Beth Hillel permit it, [so long as he leaves the door of his house while it is still day].
