A group of our companions has already prohibited food remaining hot until the Sabbath day and require it to be cooled prior to the Sabbath, and that is due to their argument that if the pot remains hot the food inside lessens or increases as a result of the heat, which is forbidden on the Sabbath. And the discussion of Binyamin leads to this, because he argues that what is passively done on the Sabbath is forbidden even if you did not do with your hands, according to verse in Scripture (Exodus 31:15) “Six days shall work be done (te’aseh); but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD; whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death” and He did not say “do” (ta’aseh) and permit what “is done” on the six days and similarly forbids what “is done” on the Sabbath. And Binyamin said additionally before that, that he does not permit placing a container for bread or food in the oven or furnace or any other place heated by fire or the sun, since baking and cooking and grilling will occur either a little or a lot. He says one who places that prior to the Sabbath and takes it during the Sabbath, he has passively cooked and baked and grilled on the Sabbath either a little or a lot, and a change occurred and changing on the Sabbath is forbidden. And he includes with the heat of fire the heat of the sun and what is done with the heat of the sun, as he forbids what is done with the heat of fire. And he forbids additionally any changing, according to the plain meaning of his argument, in every aspect. And it is not possible to argue that he forbids merely just what is changed by fire, since he includes with fire the sun.

And what he argues with that is a failed and erroneous argument, because if it was as he argued, forbid the making of liquor and wine and vinegar and laban and kamkha since the sun affects all of them and causes them to increase or decrease and changes them! And if these are forbidden by virtue of the sun, forbid also [what is affected by the] the air and forbid also from this cooling water with the air on the Sabbath, since this causes a decrease and change! And one who says that changing is forbidden on the Sabbath must be obligated to forbid a person sitting in the sun on the Sabbath, since this creates a change in his body, and he is passively affected, and he sweats, and the argument with this is very expansive.
