Shabbat

WHILE R. JOSE FORBIDS IT. AND IF IT HAS A RECEPTACLE FOR PADS,  IT IS UNCLEAN.  HIS SUPPORTS  ARE UNCLEAN THROUGH MIDRAS,  AND ONE MAY GO OUT THEREWITH ON THE SABBATH,  AND ENTER THE TEMPLE COURT WHILST WEARING THEM.  HIS STOOL AND SUPPORTS  ARE UNCLEAN AS MIDRAS, AND ONE MAY NOT GO OUT WITH THEM ON THE SABBATH,  AND ONE MAY NOT ENTER THE TEMPLE COURT WITH THEM.  AN ARTIFICIAL ARM [LUKITMIN]  IS CLEAN, BUT ONE MAY NOT GO OUT THEREWITH. GEMARA. Raba asked R. Nahman, How do we learn [this]?  I do not know, replied he. What is the law? I do not know, was his answer. It was stated: Samuel said: A stump-legged person may not, [etc.]; and R. Huna said likewise: A stump-legged person may not, [etc.].  R. Joseph observed: Since Samuel said: A stump-legged person may not [etc.], and R. Huna [also] said: A stump-legged person may not [etc.], then we too should learn, A stump-legged person may not. Rabbah b. Shila demurred: Did they not hear what R. Hanan b. Raba recited to Hiyya b. Rab before Rab in a little room of Rab's academy: A stump-legged person may not go out with his wooden stump: this is R. Meir's view; but R. Jose permits it; whereupon Rab signalled to them that it was the reverse? R. Nahman b. Isaac observed: And your token is samek samek. Now, Samuel too retracted.  For we learnt: If she performs halizah  with a shoe that is not his,  with a wooden shoe, or with a left-footed [shoe] placed on the right foot, the halizah is valid. Now we observed, Which Tanna [rules thus]?  Said Samuel, R. Meir: For we learnt: A STUMP-LEGGED PERSON MAY GO OUT WITH HIS WOODEN STUMP: THIS IS R. MEIR'S VIEW; WHILE R. JOSE FORBIDS IT. Now, R. Huna too retracted. For it was taught: A lime burner's shoe  is unclean as midras, a woman may perform halizah therewith, and one may not go out with it on the Sabbath: this is R. Akiba's view; but they [the Sages] did not agree with him. But it was taught:  They agree with him? — Said R. Huna, Who agreed with him? R. Meir.  And who did not agree with him? R. Jose.  R. Joseph said: Who did not agree with him? R. Johanan b. Nuri. For we learnt: A hive of straw and a tube of canes:  R. Akiba declares it unclean; while R. Johanan b. Nuri declares it clean. The Master said: 'A lime-burner's shoe is unclean as midras'. But it is not made for walking?  — Said R. Aha son of R. 'Ulla: That is because the lime-burner walks in it until he comes home. AND IF IT HAS A RECEPTACLE FOR PADS, IT IS UNCLEAN. Abaye said: It has the uncleanness of a corpse, but not midras; Raba said: It is unclean even as midras.  Said Raba: Whence do I know it? For we learnt: A child's waggonette  is unclean as midras. But Abaye said: There he [the child] leans upon it, but here he [the stump-legged person] does not lean upon it. Abaye said: How do I know it? Because it was taught: A staff of old men is completely clean.  And Raba?  — There
