כָּל כִּסּוּיֵי הַכֵּלִים שֶׁיֵּשׁ לָהֶם בֵּית אֲחִיזָה נִטָּלִים בְּשַׁבָּת. אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹסֵי, בַּמֶּה דְבָרִים אֲמוּרִים. בְּכִסּוּי קַרְקַע, אֲבָל בְּכִסּוּי הַכֵּלִים, בֵּין כָּךְ וּבֵין כָּךְ נִטָּלִים בְּשַׁבָּת:

All vessel covers which have a handle may be moved on Shabbath. R. Yossi said: To what does this apply? To ground coverings [The gemara states that all agree that it is permitted to move vessel coverings even if they have no handle. And with ground coverings, such as the coverings of wells and cisterns, all agree that if the coverings have no handle it is forbidden (to move them). Where do they differ? In respect to the coverings of vessels attached to the ground, one holding that they are considered like the ground and the other, that they are not considered like the ground. The halachah is in accordance with the sages, that what is attached to the ground is considered like the ground]; but with vessel coverings, in either case (i.e., whether or not they have handles), it is permitted to move them on Shabbath.
