Sheviis 5:7 - 5:8

היוצר – an artisan who makes earthenware vessels sells even to be suspected [of violating] the Seventh Year five pitchers of oil and fifteen pitchers of wine, and there is nothing to be anxious about lest perhaps he wants all of them for oil or all of them for wine, for they are recognized – those of wine from those of oil, that the dust that the wine pitchers make is not similar to the dust that the pitchers of oil makes from them.

ואם הביא יותר מכאן מותר – and we don’t concern ourselves lest from that he brought that which is preserved from the Seventh Year.

ומוכר לגוים בארץ – and we don’t concern ourselves less the heathen will go back and sell them to an Israelites that is suspected [of violating the Sabbatical year].

ולישראל בחוצה לארץ – and we don’t concern ourselves lest he bring them into the Land [of Israel]; alternatively, lest he place within them wine or oil of the Seventh Year that he brought from the Land of Israel, for the Sages were not that stringent.

שהוא יכול לשחטה – and in whatever that we are able to leave in suspense, we do so. But the School of Shammai holds that it is not the practice at all to slaughter a cow that is about to engage in plowing.

אפילו בשעת הזרע – and we don’t say that definitely he purchases it for sowing for he wants that we assign it for eating.

שיש לו גורן – and we are not concerned lest he measures it to bring into the store house, for one can designate it for grinding it that he measures it.

ופורט לו מעות – he exchanges money with pennies.

אע"פ שהוא יודע שיש לו פועלים – and it is found that he is assisting in transgressing [working the fields on the Sabbatical Year] , that we say lest for the rest of his needs he requires it.

וכולם – if they explained that for a forbidden matter he wants them, it is forbidden.
