Comentario sobre Shabbat 1:8
בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, אֵין נוֹתְנִין עוֹרוֹת לְעַבְּדָן וְלֹא כֵלִים לְכוֹבֵס נָכְרִי, אֶלָּא כְּדֵי שֶׁיֵּעָשׂוּ מִבְּעוֹד יוֹם. וּבְכֻלָּן בֵּית הִלֵּל מַתִּירִין עִם הַשָּׁמֶשׁ:
Beth Shammai dice: No se debe dar pieles a un curtidor (gentil) o ropa a un lavandero gentil, a menos que puedan hacerse mientras aún es de día. Y con todo, Beth Hillel lo permite "con el sol" [es decir, mientras el sol esté sobre la tierra, antes de que se ponga].

English Explanation of Mishnah Shabbat
Bet Shammai says: hides must not be given to a [non-Jewish] tanner, nor clothing to a non-Jewish launderer, unless they can be done while it is yet day; But in all these [cases] Bet Hillel, permits as long as the sun is still shining. Like yesterday’s mishnah, this mishnah continues to deal with a Jew giving things to a gentile with which the gentile will work on the Sabbath. In the case of today’s mishnah we might have thought that Bet Hillel would prohibit because it looks like the non-Jew will be doing work for the Jew on the Sabbath. The last part of the mishnah refers to all of the debates above. In all of these cases, Bet Hillel permits the Jew to set the motion in process as long as the sun has not yet set. The addition of “as long as the sun is still shining” also signals that this is the end of the series of debates.
