| כמעשהו בחל | As it [the arava rite] was done on weekdays | ||
| כך מעשהו בשבת | so it was done on shabbos | ||
| אלא שהיו מלקטין אותן | except that they would gather them | ||
| מערב שבת | before shabbos | ||
| ומניחים אותן | and place them | ||
| בגיגיות של זהב | in golden tubs | ||
| כדי שלא יכמשו | so that they would not wilt. | ||
| רבי יוחנן בן ברוקה אומר | Rebbi Yochanan ben Broka said | ||
| חריות של דקל | date palm branches (as opposed to willow branches) | ||
| היו מביאין | they would bring | ||
| וחובטים אותן בקרקע | and beat them into the ground | ||
| בצדי המזבח | next to the altar | ||
| ואותו היום | and that day | ||
| נקרא יום חיבוט חריות | was called the day of the beating of the branches. | ||
