רבי אליעזר אומר אם לא הביא כלי. איזמל למול את התינוק:
מביאו בשבת מגולה. להודיע שחביבה מצוה זו שמחללים עליה את השבת:
ובסכנה. שגזרו גזרה על המילה:
מכסהו ע״פ עדים. שיעידו שאיזמל של מצוה הוא מביא, ולא יחשדוהו שהוא נושא שאר חפציו:
ולעשות ברזל. כדי לעשות איזמל למילה:
כל מלאכה שאפשר לעשותה. כגון מכשירי מילה הואיל ואפשר לעשותן מערב שבת אין דוחין את השבת, ופליג אדרבי אליעזר:
שאי אפשר לעשותה מערב שבת. כגון מילה עצמה שאי אפשר לה ליעשות, דזמנה בשמיני דוחה שבת. והלכה כרבי עקיבא:
