Topic

איסור כולל and שבת on יום הכפורים, when גיד הנשה became forbidden, and the מחלוקת about אבר מן החי in non-kosher animals.

Overview

The גמרא asks whether רבי יוסי הגלילי really rejects איסור כולל. It challenges this with a ברייתא about doing work by mistake on a day that is both שבת and יום הכפורים. The answer is to swap the names in that ברייתא. רבי יוחנן then rules that liability depends only on a mistake about שבת. אביי explains this by saying שבת is fixed while the court sets יום הכפורים. רבא rejects that, because both days begin at the same moment. He says instead that the ruling was about one year of persecution, when יום הכפורים was kept on שבת, and the scholars from ארץ ישראל confirm his explanation. The גמרא then returns to the משנה. There, the חכמים answer רבי יהודה that the איסור of גיד הנשה was given at סיני and is only written in the story of יעקב to show its reason. Finally, a ברייתא brings a similar מחלוקת about אבר מן החי, and רבי יוחנן says both sides learn it from the same פסוק about blood. How each side reads that פסוק continues on the next amud.
