Core Text — Beitzah 28b
כְּתִיב ״הוּא״ וּמַשְׁמַע הוּא וְלֹא מַכְשִׁירָיו, וּכְתִיב ״לָכֶם״ לְכָל צָרְכֵיכֶם וַאֲפִילּוּ מַכְשִׁירִין. הָא כֵּיצַד? כָּאן בְּמַכְשִׁירִין שֶׁאֶפְשָׁר לַעֲשׂוֹתָן מֵעֶרֶב יוֹם טוֹב, כָּאן בְּמַכְשִׁירִין שֶׁאִי אֶפְשָׁר לַעֲשׂוֹתָן מֵעֶרֶב יוֹם טוֹב.

English: It is written “that,” implying that and not its implements; and it is written “for you,” for all your needs and even implements. How so? Here — implements that could be made before Yom Tov; here — implements that could not be made before Yom Tov.

Type of Learning

Reconciliation of הוּא and לָכֶם regarding machshirim.

What Is Learned

Implements that could wait until before Yom Tov remain forbidden; those that could not be prepared in advance are permitted.
