אֵלּוּ דְבָרִים מִקֻּלֵּי בֵית שַׁמַּאי וּמֵחֻמְרֵי בֵית הִלֵּל. בֵּיצָה שֶׁנּוֹלְדָה בְיוֹם טוֹב, בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, תֵּאָכֵל. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, לֹא תֵאָכֵל. בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, שְׂאֹר בְּכַזַּיִת וְחָמֵץ בְּכַכּוֹתֶבֶת. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, זֶה וָזֶה בְּכַזָּיִת:

These things are of the lenient rulings of Beth Shammai and the stringent rulings of Beth Hillel: An egg that was hatched on Yom Tov — Beth Shammai say: It may be eaten and Beth Hillel say: It may not be eaten. [We are speaking of a Yom Tov after Shabbath. Beth Hillel says that it may not be eaten, for every egg that is hatched today is completed the day before, so that Shabbath is found to have "prepared" for Yom Tov. But Scripture stated (Exodus 16:5): "And it shall be on the sixth day, that they shall prepare (for Shabbath) what they shall bring" — and the sixth day is generally chol (mundane, not a holy day) — whence: Chol prepares for Shabbath, and chol prepares for Yom Tov (which is also called "Shabbath"), but Yom Tov does not prepare for Shabbath, and Shabbath does not prepare for Yom Tov. And preparation of the type of (the preparation of) the egg, even though it is in the hands of Heaven, is, nonetheless called "preparation."]
