1 It is permitted to remove four or five bushels of hay or of grain to accommodate guests or to prevent neglect of Torah study [i.e., if the space is needed for seating guests at a meal or for allowing students to hear the (Torah) lecture. It is permitted only for mitzvah purposes, and we are not concerned (in that instance) with undue exertion on Shabbath. ("four or five":) not necessarily; if he wishes, he can remove even more.], but not the store-house. [That is, so long as he does not empty out the entire store-house to the ground, for he might come to make holes.] It is permitted to remove clean terumah [Even an Israelite, for whom it is not fit, may move and remove it, it being fit for a Cohein.], demai (grain suspect as untithed), [it being fit for the poor, viz.: "The poor may be fed demai." Since, if he wishes, he can make his property hefker, rendering himself "poor," in which instance demai would be permitted to him, it is now also (considered) fit for him.], and ma'aser rishon whose terumah was taken, [i.e., from which terumath ma'aser was taken, but not terumah gedolah — as when a Levite came forward and took the ma'aser in the stalks, when it was not yet subject to terumah gedolah, that obligation not obtaining until the grain is smoothed in the pile. And this Levite who came forward and took the ma'aser in the stalks separates only terumath ma'aser, after which he may eat it, even though terumah gedolah has not been separated.], and ma'aser sheni and hekdesh which had been redeemed, [i.e., which the owner had redeemed and for which he had given the principal, but not the fifth. We are hereby apprised that they are (nevertheless) redeemed and that the fifth is (considered) a debt that he must repay.], and dried lupine, for it is food for the poor — but (he may) not (move) tevel (untithed grain), [even tevel d'rabanan, such as what is sown in an unperforated flower pot], and not ma'aser rishon whose terumah had not been taken [If a Levite came forward and took ma'aser after it had been smoothed in the pile, but before terumah gedolah had been separated from it, and he separated terumath ma'aser, but not terumah gedolah, this is "ma'aser rishon whose terumah had not been taken." For since it was smoothed in the pile and made subject to terumah, when he takes the ma'aser rishon, even if he separates terumath ma'aser, so long as he does not separate terumah gedolah, it is tevel, and forbidden to be moved on Shabbath.], and not ma'aser sheni and hekdesh which were not redeemed, [i.e., when they were redeemed, but not in accordance with the halachah, as when he redeemed ma'aser sheni with scraps of silver. For ma'aser sheni is redeemed only with money which has a design (tzurah), it being written Deuteronomy 14:25): "Vetzarta (similar to 'tzurah') the money in your hand." And hekdesh is not redeemed with land, it being written (Leviticus 27:23): "And he (the Cohein) shall give your valuation on that day" — something that is given from hand to hand.], and not luf [a kind of bean which, when raw, is not fit even for a beast. Rambam explains that it is a variety of onion.], and not mustard. R. Shimon b. Gamliel permits it with luf, for it is food for ravens, [as with the rich, who raise ravens for show. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Shimon b. Gamliel.]
