שבת ה׳:ב׳ - ה׳:ג׳

מרדעת – a kind of small saddle and we place it on the donkey all day long in order that the donkey can be kept warm.

בזמן שהיא קשורה לו – from the Eve of the Sabbath (i.e., Friday) that he reveals his opinion that the donkey needs it to warm it up as people say that a donkey, even in the season of Tammuz (i.e., the middle of the summer) is cold for it, and it is not a burden but to tie/attach a cushion/pack-saddle on the donkey is prohibited because it is impossible to tie it on him other than if he supports it on the side of the animal and it is found that a living creature is being used and if he transgressed and tied it on, it is prohibited to go out with it.

לבובין – with leather that is we tie them up corresponding to their male genitalia so that they will not go up on the females.

שחוזות – that grasps their tails tied upwards so that the males will come upon them.

כבולות – they chain up their tails and tie them with their legs in order that the males will not come upon them.

כבונות – they tie a cloth around the lambs during the day to protect their wool so that it not become soiled.

צרורות – their breast nipples are tied up sometimes to dry up the milk when they squeeze them with strength and sometimes they tie a pocket on their nipples so that the milk will not drip to the ground and be lost.

ר' יוסי אומר בכולן – that is a burden.

חוץ מן הכבונות - which is protection for their wool so that it will not be soiled and it is an ornament/decoration.

יוצאות צרורורת ליבש – Rabbi Yehudah holds like the first teacher [of the Mishnah] that it is not a burden; however, to [keep them] dry which is fastened better one cannot make this decree lest it miscarry which it comes to include, but for milk where it is not fastened well, it is forbidden and we suspect lest it miscarry which it comes to include. And the Halakha is according to the first teacher [of the Mishnah].

מטוטלת – a piece of strip/lining tied to its tail as a sign or for something else.

עקוד – they tie their hands and legs with chains so that they do not escape.

רגול – fold his hand over his arm and tie them.

לא יקשור גמלים זה בזה וימשוך – as one and they all go so that it would not appear as leading them to the market to sell them.

אבל מכניס הוא חבלים בתוך ידו – so that the heads of the ropes would not be hanging and coming out from under his hands to the ground by a handbreadth or more in order that it would not appear like he is carrying the hanging ropes by his hand.

ובלבד שלא יכרוך – this is not in speaking in regard to the matter of the Sabbath here, but to the matter of mixed seeds and this is how it should be understood: He who gathers ropes in his hand, some of them of flax and some of them of wool, he should not twist one with the other for when he twists them, it is mixed seeds and his hand is warmed while holding them and this is forbidden.
