圣殿以外,柴堆须日间燃着大半;拉比犹大 说炭堆则燃着一点即可。
-
然而在外方——就是圣殿以外、以色列地 各处——安息日前夕不可点柴堆,除非工夫够叫火在天还亮着时延遍那堆柴的大半。
And, however, in the outlying areas, meaning in all of Eretz Yisrael outside the Temple, it is prohibited to light a bonfire on Shabbat eve, unless there is sufficient time for the fire to take hold in most of the bonfire, while it is still day.

拉比犹大 说:若是一堆炭,纵在外方,安息日前夕入夜时也许人点着,纵那火只延到一星半点也可以。
Rabbi Yehuda says: With a bonfire of coals, even in the outlying areas one is permitted to light the fire on Shabbat eve at nightfall, even if the fire only spread to any amount of the bonfire.
-
炭一经点着便不再熄了,所以不必虑他在安息日去照料它。
The coals, once they are kindled, will not be extinguished again, and there is no concern lest he come to tend to them on Shabbat.
