ביצה פרק ה׳ משנה ד׳

4
One who borrows a vessel from another on the eve of a Festival, it is as the feet of the borrower rather than the owner, as when the Festival began the vessel established its place of rest in possession of the borrower. However, if he borrowed it on the Festival itself, it is as the feet of the lender, since at the start of the Festival its place of rest was established in the possession of its owner. And similarly, a woman who borrowed spices from another to put in a dish, or water and salt to put in her dough, these foods, i.e., the dish and the dough, which contain ingredients belonging to both parties, are as the feet of both of them; they are limited by the travel limitations of both parties. Rabbi Yehuda exempts one from travel limitations in the case of water, because it has no substance in the mixture and therefore is not considered connected to the original owner.

הַשּׁוֹאֵל כְּלִי מֵחֲבֵרוֹ מֵעֶרֶב יוֹם טוֹב, כְּרַגְלֵי הַשּׁוֹאֵל. בְּיוֹם טוֹב, כְּרַגְלֵי הַמַּשְׁאִיל. הָאִשָּׁה שֶׁשָּׁאֲלָה מֵחֲבֶרְתָּהּ תְּבָלִין וּמַיִם וּמֶלַח לְעִסָּתָהּ, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ כְרַגְלֵי שְׁתֵּיהֶן. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה פוֹטֵר בְּמַיִם, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁאֵין בָּהֶן מַמָּשׁ:

כרגלי השואל – for he acquired his Sabbath center with him at twilight, for twilight is the entrance of the day where one acquires his Sabbath center, and even though it did not come into the hand of the borrower other than on Yom Tov/the Festival day, for it was not established in his possession at twilight, it is in the status of the person who borrows it (i.e., the utensil). And if he borrowed it on Yom Tov once it became dark, it is in the possession of the one who is lending it out, because he has acquired the Sabbath center with its owners. And even if he was accustomed to lend it out on every Holy Day.

האשה ששאלה מחברתה תבלין – for her pot.

ומים ומלח – for her dough.

הרי אלו – her pot and her dough.

כרגלי שתיהן – they do not bring them other than in a place where both of them are able to go, for since she borrowed it on the Festival day, they acquired the Sabbath center for the spices or the water and the salt with their respective owners.

שאין בהם ממש – they are not recognized, neither the pot, nor the dough, such as the case where the cooked dish is thick and the water is not recognized in it. Therefore, it does not delay their going. And regarding the salt, Rabbi Yehuda does not dispute when speaking of dough that was kneaded in salt which is large and thick, which is recognizable and has substance. But the Halakah is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.

כרגלי השואל. שהרי קנה שביתתו אצלו בין השמשות, דבין השמשות שהוא כניסת היום קונה שביתה. ואפילו לא בא ליד השואל אלא ביו״ט דלאו ברשותיה קיימין בבין השמשות, הרי אלו כרגליו של שואל. ואם שאלו ביו״ט משחשיכה, הרי הן כרגלי המשאיל, לפי שקנה שביתה אצל בעליו. ואפילו היה רגיל להשאיל בכל יו״ט:

האשה ששאלה מחברתה תבלין. לקדרתה:

ומים ומלח. לעיסתה:

הרי אלו. הקדרה והעיסה:

כרגלי שתיהן. אין מוליכין אותן אלא במקום ששתיהן יכולות לילך. דכיון דביום טוב שאלה, קנו התבלין או המים והמלח שביתה אצל בעליהן:

שאין בהם ממש. אין ניכרות לא בקדרה ולא בעיסה. כגון שהתבשיל עבה ואין המים נכרים בה, הילכך אין מעכבות הולכתן. ובמלח לא פליג רבי יהודה, דמיירי בעיסה שנלושה במלח שהיא גסה ועבה, שהיא נכרת ויש בה ממש. ואין הלכה כר׳ יהודה:
