תלמוד על עדיות 3:10

MISHNAH: Three things did Rebbi Eleazar ben Azariah permit but the Sages forbid. His cow was going out with a strip between her horns¹¹³On a Sabbath, when the owner of an animal is biblically required to let his animals rest., and one grooms an animal with combs with small teeth on a holiday¹¹⁴To remove parasites from the animal’s skin., and one grinds peppers in their proper mill¹¹⁵While biblically it is permitted (even desirable) to prepare food on the holiday, the permission does not extend to the preparation of ingredients; cf. Chapter 1, Notes 241–242. R. Eleazar must hold that ground pepper loses much of its strength if kept overnight; for him the grinding is part of the preparation of the meal while for the majority is it preparation of an ingredient.. Rebbi Jehudah says, one does not groom an animal on the holiday with a comb with small teeth because it produces bruises, but one may groom with a comb with large teeth. ¹¹⁶This text is obvious nonsense and has to be replaced by the text quoted in the Halakhah: But the Sages are saying that one may comb neither with small teeth nor with large teeth. But the Sages are saying one uses a comb with small teeth but not with large teeth.
