Core Text — Beitzah 20b
אָמְרוּ לָהֶם בֵּית שַׁמַּאי: וַהֲלֹא כְּבָר נֶאֱמַר ״לָכֶם״ וְלֹא לַגָּבוֹהַּ. אָמְרוּ לָהֶם בֵּית הִלֵּל: וַהֲלֹא כְּבָר נֶאֱמַר ״לַה׳״ כֹּל דְּלַה׳.

English: Beis Shammai said to them: Has it not already been said “for you” and not for the Most High? Beis Hillel said to them: Has it not already been said “for Hashem” — whatever is for Hashem?

Type of Learning

Dispute on whether nedarim and nedavos (not festival-required) may be offered on Yom Tov.

What Is Learned

Beis Shammai read “for you” as excluding non-festival offerings for the Most High; Beis Hillel permit offerings whose time is the day.
