Shabbos 4:2 - 5:1

שלחין – hides, it is the Aramaic translation of “he stripped/flayed [skin] and stretched forth.

ומטלטלין אותן – whether he covered them or whether he didn’t cover them for it appears like he mixed them – that is to say, to rely upon them.

ואין מטלטלין אותן – for they are Muktzeh/forbidden for use and/or handling on the Sabbath to spin or to weave, and even though he covered them for the time, he did not make them ownerless completely, and when he couldn’t designate them out for covering, but designated them for covering from carrying them.

כיצד יעשה – this one who covered them, how shall he take his pot – since it is prohibited to carry them and it is all covered in them.

נוטל – the cover of the pot that has the status of a utensil upon it, and even though that they are upon it, and we don’t care that it was not make a base for them, for it was not made other than to cover the pot.

רבי אלעזר אומר קופה מטה על צדה ונוטל – when he comes to take it, he tilts the basket on its side lest he take the pot and the wool-sheerings that from one side and from the other into the hole that is in the pot and if it is required to go back and to cover it, he won’t be able to carry the sheerings from here and there and to make a hole and return them into it.

וחכ"א נוטל – [The Sages state that he takes] the pot and if the wool- sheerings fell out, and the hole did not become ruined, he returns pot to its place, and they did not prohibit him to take the pot, ab initio, a decreed lest the hole become ruined. But the Sages admit that if the hole did not become ruined, he should not return the objects, and the Halakha is according to the Sages.

לא יכסנו משתחשך – for it is forbidden to cover it on the Sabbath, whether it is something that adds vapor, whether it is something that does not add vapor in the manner of covering it.

ונותן – on the Sabbath, under the pillow that he places under his head, and even though it is filled with spongy-wool substance or feathers, this is not the manner of covering with it.

כסת – larger than a pillow.

במה בהמה יוצאה – since a person is commanded regarding the resting of his animal on the Sabbath and anything that guards through it the animal is not like a burden and anything that does not guard it is like a burden.

אפסר – a rope which ties the mouth of the animal.

והנאקה – In the Gemara (Tractate Shabbat 51b), it establishes it specifically as a white camel which requires greater guarding/watching.

בחטם – they take a kind of iron ring and pierce the nose of the camel and place it inside it.

ולובדקס – a donkey that comes from Libya and they are hard and strong and need greater watching/guarding than other donkeys found in the settlement.

בפרומביא – an iron bridle.

בשיר – a kind of clasp/brooch around its neck and a ring is fixed within it and they bring in a rope through the ring and pull the animal.

וכל בעלי השיר - such as hunting dogs and small animals.

יוצאים בשיר – tied on their necks with a rope set in the clasp.

ונמשכין בשיר – and if he wants he pulls the animal with the rope in the clasp/brooch.

ומזין עליהן – in their places as they are in the neck of the animal if it became ritually defiled through [contact with] a dead corpse.

וטובלין במקומן – they have the animal enter the water to ritually immerse the brooch/clasp and even though we hold that all utensils unique to the animal do not receive ritual defilement. The brooch/clasp and other things like it receive ritual defilement and require ritual immersion since they are made for humans to lead with it an animal as it is like a utensil made for usage by a human being.
