תִּקְרָה שֶׁאֵין עָלֶיהָ מַעֲזִיבָה, רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, מְפַקְפֵּק וְנוֹטֵל אַחַת מִבֵּינְתַיִם, וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, מְפַקְפֵּק אוֹ נוֹטֵל אַחַת מִבֵּינְתַיִם. רַבִּי מֵאִיר אוֹמֵר, נוֹטֵל אַחַת מִבֵּינְתַיִם, וְאֵין מְפַקְפֵּק:

A ceiling [made of beams or boards], which is not tarred — R. Yehudah says: Beth Shammai say: He dislodges and moves all of them about [to validate it as a succah] and he takes out one from between (each two) [and places kosher schach in its place.] And Beth Hillel say: He dislodges and moves them about or he takes out one from between. [R. Yehudah is consistent with his ruling that it is permitted to use boards as schach. Therefore, dislodging suffices, and without dislodging it is pasul because of "shall you make" and not from what is already made.] R. Meir says: He takes out one from between and he need not dislodge. [R. Meir is consistent with his ruling that it is forbidden to use boards as schach. The halachah is in accordance with R. Yehudah in the name of Beth Hillel.]
