Chapter 5 of 8 in Rest on a Holiday — 20 halachot
Halacha 1א׳
אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהֻתְּרָה הוֹצָאָה בְּיוֹם טוֹב אֲפִלּוּ שֶׁלֹּא לְצֹרֶךְ לֹא יִשָּׂא מַשָּׂאוֹת גְּדוֹלוֹת כְּדֶרֶךְ שֶׁהוּא עוֹשֶׂה בְּחל אֶלָּא צָרִיךְ לְשַׁנּוֹת. וְאִם אִי אֶפְשָׁר לְשַׁנּוֹת מֻתָּר. כֵּיצַד. הַמֵּבִיא כַּדֵּי יַיִן מִמָּקוֹם לְמָקוֹם לֹא יְבִיאֵם בְּסַל וּבְקֻפָּה אֲבָל מֵבִיא הוּא עַל כְּתֵפוֹ אוֹ לְפָנָיו. הַמּוֹלִיךְ אֶת הַתֶּבֶן לֹא יַפְשִׁיל אֶת הַקֻּפָּה לְאַחֲרָיו אֲבָל מוֹלִיכָהּ בְּיָדוֹ:
Even though transporting was permitted on a holiday even not for the purpose [of eating], one should not carry large loads in the way that he does on [weekdays], but rather alter [how he does it]. But if it is impossible for him to alter [it], it is permissible. How is this? One who brings jugs of wine from one place to [another] should not bring them in a basket or a container, but rather bring them on his shoulder or in front of him. One who transports hay should not lower the container behind him, but rather transport it in his hand.
Halacha 2ב׳
וְכֵן מַשּׂוֹאוֹת שֶׁדַּרְכָּן לִשָּׂא אוֹתָן בְּמוֹט יִשָּׂא אוֹתָן עַל גַּבּוֹ מֵאַחֲרָיו. וְשֶׁדַּרְכָּן לִשָּׂא אוֹתָן מֵאֲחוֹרָיו יִשָּׂא אוֹתָן עַל כְּתֵפוֹ. וְשֶׁדַּרְכָּן לְהִנָּשֵׂא עַל הַכָּתֵף יִשָּׂא אוֹתָן בְּיָדוֹ לְפָנָיו אוֹ יִפְרשׁ עֲלֵיהֶן בֶּגֶד וְכָל כַּיּוֹצֵא בָּזֶה מִשִּׁנּוּי הַמַּשָּׂא. וְאִם אִי אֶפְשָׁר לְשַׁנּוֹת נוֹשֵׂא וּמֵבִיא כְּדַרְכּוֹ. בַּמֶּה דְּבָרִים אֲמוּרִים בְּנוֹשֵׂא עַל הָאָדָם אֲבָל עַל גַּבֵּי בְּהֵמָה לֹא יָבִיא כְּלָל שֶׁלֹּא יַעֲשֶׂה כְּדֶרֶךְ שֶׁהוּא עוֹשֶׂה בְּחל:
And likewise loads the way of which is to carry them on poles, he should carry on his back behind him. And those the way of which is to carry them behind him, he should carry on the shoulder. And those the way of which is to carry them on his shoulder, he should carry in his hand in front of him or place a garment on top of them. And likewise anything that is similar to this in altering the carrying. But if it is impossible for him to alter [it], he may carry and bring [it] in its customary way. To what are these words applicable? With regards to carrying on a person. But with regards to carrying on an animal, he should not bring [items] at all, so that he not act in the way that he does on [weekdays].
Halacha 3ג׳
אֵין מַנְהִיגִין אֶת הַבְּהֵמָה בְּמַקֵּל. וְאֵין הַסּוּמָא יוֹצֵא בְּמַקְלוֹ וְלֹא הָרוֹעֶה בְּתַרְמִילוֹ. וְאֵין יוֹצְאִין בְּכִסֵּא אֶחָד הָאִישׁ וְאֶחָד הָאִשָּׁה שֶׁלֹּא יַעֲשֶׂה כְּדֶרֶךְ שֶׁהוּא עוֹשֶׂה בְּחל. ואִישׁ שֶׁהָיוּ רַבִּים צְרִיכִין לוֹ יוֹצְאִין בְּכִסֵּא אַחֲרָיו וּמוֹצִיאִין אוֹתוֹ עַל הַכָּתֵף אֲפִלּוּ בְּאַפִּרְיוֹן:
We may not lead an animal with a stick. And a blind person may not go out with his cane, nor a shepherd with his satchel. And one may not go out on a chair (borne on poles by other people)—neither a man nor a woman—so that he not act in the way that he does on [weekdays]. But a man that many people need may be taken out behind him on a chair, and we may carry him on the shoulder—and even in a palanquin.
