In contrast, one who actually cuts skin and draws blood transgresses the prohibition of <em>\u0124ovel<\/em> (see below 20:9.) For the <em>Mishkan<\/em>, lamb\u2019s wool was sheared and then made into thread that was used to make the curtains. Similarly, hair was sheared from <em>ta\u0125ash<\/em> skins so that the skins would be smooth and thus fit for use as curtains in the <em>Mishkan<\/em>. We see that sometimes shearing is done in order to use material that is attached to a body, as is the case when sheep\u2019s wool is needed to make thread, and sometimes it is done to remove something unwanted, as is the case when removing unwanted hairs to improve animal skins (Rivash; BHL 340:1 s.v. \u201cve-\u0125ayav\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the <em>melakha<\/em> of <em>Kotzer<\/em>, where the prohibition applies only if one cuts off a plant from its life source (below 19:6), here the prohibition applies to shearing wool from the skin of a dead animal as well, because even after an animal\u2019s death there is still a purpose to shearing its wool. Therefore, one should be careful not to pull out threads from a fur coat or a leather carpet (MB 340:5). If doing so serves a purpose, the prohibition is by Torah law; if there is no purpose, the prohibition is rabbinic.<\/p>\n<p>Included in the <em>melakha<\/em> of <em>Gozez<\/em> is plucking feathers from a chicken. However, one may pluck feathers from a cooked chicken. This is because after a chicken is cooked it is considered food, and the prohibition of shearing does not apply to food (R. Eliyahu David Rabinowitz-Teomim [Aderet], <em>Oveir Ora\u0125<\/em> \u00a7366; <em>Har Tzvi<\/em>, <em>Tal Harim<\/em>, <em>Gozez<\/em> 3).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The melakha of Gozez (shearing) is the removal of things that grow on the body, such as hair, nails, warts, loose skin, and the like.
