Shabbat

it is permitted. Shall we say that Samuel agrees with R. Simeon?  But surely Samuel said: One may extinguish a lump of fiery metal in the street, that it should not harm the public,  but not a burning piece  of wood.  A Now if you think that he agrees with R. Simeon, even that of wood too [should be permitted]? — In respect to what is unintentional he holds with R. Simeon; but in the matter of work which is not needed per se, he agrees with R. Judah.  Rabina said: As a corollary, a thorn in public ground may be carried away in stages of less than four cubits;  whilst in a karmelith  even a great distance too [is permitted). BUT ONE MAY POUR, etc. Our Rabbis taught: A man may pour hot water into cold, but not cold water into hot; this is the view of Beth Shammai;  while Beth Hillel maintain: Both hot into cold and cold into hot are permitted. This applies only to a cup,  but in the case of a bath, hot into cold [is permitted], but not cold into hot.  But R. Simeon b. Menassia forbids it.  R. Nahman said: The halachah is as R. Simeon b. Menassia. R. Joseph thought to rule: A basin is as a bath. Said Abaye to him, R. Hiyya taught: A basin is not as a bath. Now, on the original supposition that it is as a bath, while R. Nahman ruled, The halachah is as R. Simeon, can there be no washing in hot water on the Sabbath? — Do you think that R. Simeon refers to the second clause? He refers to the first clause: 'While Beth Hillel maintain: Both hot into cold and cold into hot are permitted';  but R. Simeon b. Menassia forbids even cold into hot. Shall we say that R. Simeon b. Menassia rules as Beth Shammai? — He says thus: Beth Shammai and Beth Hillel did not differ in this matter. R. Huna son of R. Joshua said: I saw that Raba was not particular about vessels,  since R. Hiyya taught: A person may pour a jug of water into a basin of water, hot into cold or cold into hot.  Said R. Huna to R. Ashi: Perhaps it is different there, because the vessel intervenes? — It is stated that he pours it, was his answer.  [Thus:] A person may pour a jug of water into a basin of water, both hot into cold and cold into hot. MISHNAH. IF A STEW POT OR A BOILING POT  IS REMOVED SEETHING; [FROM THE FIRE],  ONE MUST NOT PUT SPICES THEREIN,
