什一之钱不可用来称金第纳尔。拉巴 分说：那里所禁是恐两下不等而反悔，燃木片点灯则分明为诫命。

第二什一，不可拿它来称金第纳尔，定它们的准重。
the second tithe, one may not weigh gold dinars with it in order to determine their precise weight.
-
纵是为拿那钱去赎别的第二什一之物而称，也是不许的，因为什一之钱是不可取用的。
And doing so is prohibited even if he is weighing the coin in order to redeem other second-tithe produce with it, as one may not derive benefit from tithe money.

革玛拉 就此说：你若说 拉夫 与 撒母耳 所争的，是灯与灯相引却借着木片的情形，而 撒母耳 在那样的情形下也禁，那么这一段还不算把 撒母耳 驳倒。
The Gemara discusses this matter: Granted, if you say that when Rav and Shmuel disagree it is with regard to a case when one lights from lamp to lamp, but with a wood chip, Shmuel prohibits lighting, this will not be a conclusive refutation of Shmuel’s opinion.
-
但你若说他连借木片由灯引灯也许，那这一段就把他驳倒了：众贤连为着一样相类的圣事，也不许人取用圣物。
But if you say that he permits lighting from lamp to lamp with a wood chip as well, this would be a conclusive refutation of his opinion, as the Sages did not permit use of and benefit from a sacred object even for the purpose of a similar sacred need.
-
拉巴 说：这不难。称什一之钱那一件，众贤所以禁，是立一条禁令，恐怕两下的分量不能恰好相等。
Rabba said: This is not difficult, as in the case of weighing tithe money the Sages prohibited doing so as a decree lest the weights not be precisely equal.
-
他会发觉那几枚金第纳尔的分量与他所用的那 塞拉 不等，就要反悔，把它们归回未成圣的原样。
One will discover that the weight of the gold dinars is not equal to the weight of the sela that he used to weigh them, and he will reconsider and render them unsanctified, i.e., they will maintain their original, non-sacred status.
-
那样一来，他就把什一之钱用在未成圣的事上了。
In that case, he will have used the tithe money for an unsanctified purpose.
-
至于人为点 修殿节 的灯而燃一片木片，那分明是为行诫命，并没有立禁的缘故。
However, when one lights even a wood chip for the purpose of Hanukkah lights, it is clear that it is for the purpose of performing a mitzva, and there is no reason to issue a decree.
