MISHNAH: A robbed or dried up lulav1Lev.23:40: You shall take for yourselves on the First Day a fruit of the splendor tree, date-tree palms, a branch of the rope tree, and brook-willows. The lulav is the young palm branch. While in the verse it is called “palm”, because the leaves of the palm-tree spread out from the spine of the branch like fingers of a hand, it is traditional to take a young branch with the leaves still tightly clinging to its spine. From this the name לולב “tube” (cf. Note 27). is disqualified. Of an ashera2A tree worshipped as a pagan deity, forbidden for all use. or a seduced city3An apostate city practicing idolatry which has to be destroyed and all its property burned, forbidden for all usufruct, Deut13:13–18., it is disqualified. If it was truncated, its leaves broken out, it is disqualified. If its leaves were spread out, it is qualified; Rebbi Jehudah says, he shall tie them at the top4As long as the leaves are connected they can be tied together to produce the desired shape of a solid tube.. The stone palms of Iron Mountain are qualified. Any lulav three hand-breadths long to shake it5As explained in Mishnaiot 8 ff., the main use of the “four kinds” mentioned in the verse is to shake them during the recitation of Hallel, Ps. 113–118. is qualified.

MISHNAH: Lulav and willow six and seven1The entire Chapter only refers to the service in the Temple. The willow twigs referred to here are not those tied to the lulav; these are subsumed under the name of lulav and are not mentioned further, just as the myrtle branches are not mentioned. The willow twigs are large ones used around the altar, as described in Mishnah 4. The numbers mentioned refer to the number of days the corresponding action is required. If the Sabbath of the holiday week was not the first day, the willow twigs to surround the altar were not brought on the Sabbath.; Hallel and joy eight2These apply both on the seven days of Tabernacles and on the additional final holiday (Num. 29:35) which is separate from Tabernacles.. Sukkah and water libation seven3Since no Sabbath violation is possibly connected with these, they are obligatory all seven days of Tabernacles., and the fife five and six4The fife accompanying the nightly festivities of drawing the water for next day’s libation, impossible both on the full holiday and on the Sabbath.. When is the lulav seven? If the first day of Tabernacles falls on a Sabbath, the lulav is taken seven times; on all other days six5If the first day of the holiday is a Sabbath, the use of the lulav in the Temple is prescribed by Lev. 23:40 and therefore supersedes any possible Sabbath violation. But the Sabbath on any other day of the holiday week has precedence and prevents the taking of the lulav. Similarly, the willows to surround the altar were carried on the seventh day even if it was a Sabbath since one holds that on that day it is a biblical command, as explained in the Halakhah..
How the willow seven? If the seventh day of willow falls on a Sabbath, the willow is seven {days}, on all other days six5If the first day of the holiday is a Sabbath, the use of the lulav in the Temple is prescribed by Lev. 23:40 and therefore supersedes any possible Sabbath violation. But the Sabbath on any other day of the holiday week has precedence and prevents the taking of the lulav. Similarly, the willows to surround the altar were carried on the seventh day even if it was a Sabbath since one holds that on that day it is a biblical command, as explained in the Halakhah..

HALAKHAH: “A robbed or dried up lulav is disqualified,” etc. Rebbi Ḥiyya stated: You shall take for yourselves1Lev.23:40: You shall take for yourselves on the First Day a fruit of the splendor tree, date-tree palms, a branch of the rope tree, and brook-willows. The lulav is the young palm branch. While in the verse it is called “palm”, because the leaves of the palm-tree spread out from the spine of the branch like fingers of a hand, it is traditional to take a young branch with the leaves still tightly clinging to its spine. From this the name לולב “tube” (cf. Note 27)., from what is your own6Babli 29b; Sifra Emor Pereq17(2). The paragraph is a much shortened version of Lev.r. 30(6), starting with R. Ḥiyya’s statement and ending with the lesson “woe to this one …”. Rebbi Levi said, to what is one compared who takes a robbed lulav? To one who honored the ruler with a basket and it turned out that it belonged to the latter. One says, woe to this one whose defender7Greek συνήγορος. became his prosecutor8Greek κατήγορος..
