Beitzah 2:6 - 2:7

אין טומנין את החמין מיו"ט לשבת – for the School of Shammai holds that one does not bake other than if one made an Eruv with bread, and we don’t cook other than if he made an Eruv on the cooked dish, and we don’t put warm dishes in the chafing stove other than if he had warm dishes placed there from the eve of the Festival day. But the School of Hillel holds that we bake and cook and keep dishes warm for the Sabbath on the Eruv of the cooked dish alone. However, in the Gemara (Talmud Betzah 22a), it is proven that the School of Hillel also requires bread and meat and that is the Halakha.

ואין זוקפין מנורה – [ put together a candlestick] when its pieces can be taken apart, and we don’t restore them for that is similar to [the prohibition of] “building,” for there is building for utensils. But the School of Hillel holds that there is no building with utensils.

גריצין – thick loaves

אלא רקיקין – thin loaves, for the School of Shammai holds that one does make a great deal of bread on the Festival Day because of the effort involved. But the School of Hillel holds that we bake a great deal of bread on the Festival day, for at the time that the bread is plentiful, it bakes well.

וחרי – a large piece of dough that is baked upon coals, because it requires a large flame where the coals are continuously dimming/quenching, and there is great effort. But the Halakha is not according to Rabban Gamaliel where he is stringent like the words of the School of Shammai.

מכבדין את המטות – when the eat there (they sweep between the couches). For they normally recline to eat on top of beds and because it is such a small place, they are not suspect lest it make indentations, as we would fear regarding a large house and it is impossible that there wouldn’t be an indentation/hole.

מוגמר – frankincense on top of the coals to smell it, but to perfume the utensils, it is the words of everyone that it is prohibited.

מקולס – its legs, and its innards are hanging outside of it [on its side] when they are roasting it, and they do this in memory of the Passover sacrifice, as it is written concerning it (Exodus 12:9): “[Do not eat any of it raw, or cooked in any way with water, but roasted-] head, legs and entrails – over the fire.” [The word] מקולס/an animal roasted in its entrails and legs on the head – is like this hero whose weaponry was with him (a reference to Goliath in I Samuel 17:5 who had a “bronze helmet/כובע נחשת ) and the Aramaic translation of “bronze helmet” is a bronze helmet (see also Rashi to Zebahim 88b). But Maimonides explained the word מקולס as meaning honorable, in the manner of praise.

וחכמים אוסרין – [The Sages forbid] all three. Sweeping because it makes indentations, and the spices put upon the coals/perfume because it is not necessary for every person, for it is not other than for those spoiled and those who indulge themselves in pleasures and to one who has a bad odor. The spices placed upon the coals – because it appears like one who is eating Holy objects outside [the Temple]. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.
