HALAKHAH: Paragraph149Discussion of Mishnah 12.. Jehudah the important150In the Babli 103b he is called Rav Jehudah the son of Rebbi Ḥiyya. said, they only stated “bast” but bingion151This word has not been explained. Perhaps it is Egyptian, appearing in Greek as βύνιτος, ὁ “an Egyptian garment” (E.G.). is prohibited because of excess clothing152The priestly garments worn in the Temple are defined in Ex. 28:40. Priests are prohibited from wearing anything else while officiating.. They wanted to say excess of clothing is like deficiency in clothing. Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa in the name of Rebbi Yasa: Rebbi Ḥanina’s, as Rebbi Ḥanina said, only it should not separate between him and a garment or between garment and garment153Bandages are permitted only on body parts not covered by any priestly clothing.. In Rebbi Ḥanina’s opinion, what is excess clothing? Two shirts, two turbans, two pants, two belts. If a Cohen was injured on his finger and wound a belt around it; is anything called “belt” inadmissible or only clothing?

164This paragraph is from Chapter 2, Notes 32, 33.“One fills from the cistern of the Diaspora with a wheel on the Sabbath, from the large cistern and from the cold well on a holiday.” Why “may one fill from the cold well with a wheel on the holiday”? But at the time when Israel came from the diaspora and camped at this well, the prophets among them stipulated that one could fill from the cold well with a wheel on the holiday. They did not permit all cold wells, only this well at which they camped. As you are saying there, what was permitted was permitted, and here what was permitted was permitted.
