כְּמַעֲשֵׂהוּ בְחֹל כָּךְ מַעֲשֵׂהוּ בְשַׁבָּת, אֶלָּא שֶׁהָיוּ מְלַקְּטִין אוֹתָן מֵעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת וּמַנִּיחִים אוֹתָן בְּגִיגִיּוֹת שֶׁל זָהָב, כְּדֵי שֶׁלֹּא יִכְמֹשׁוּ. רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן בֶּן בְּרוֹקָה אוֹמֵר, חֲרִיּוֹת שֶׁל דֶּקֶל הָיוּ מְבִיאִין, וְחוֹבְטִין אוֹתָן בַּקַּרְקַע בְּצִדֵּי הַמִּזְבֵּחַ, וְאוֹתוֹ הַיּוֹם נִקְרָא יוֹם חִבּוּט חֲרִיּוֹת:

As they did (with the aravoth) on a weekday, so they did on Shabbath; but they would pick them on Sabbath eve. And they would put them in golden vases [filled with water] so that their leaves not wither. R. Yochanan b. Beroka says: They would bring palm shoots [both on a weekday and on Shabbath], and not aravoth, it being written (Leviticus 23:40): "kapoth (plural) of date palms" — one for the lulav, the other for the altar.] And they would strike them on the floor at the side of the altar. And that day was called "The day of the striking of the shoots." [The halachah is not in accordance with R. Yochanan b. Beroka.]
