It is forbidden for a Jew to allow his animal to work on Shabbos, as it states (Shemos 23:12) "Lima'an Yanu'ach Shorcha va'Chamorecha" - "so that your ox and your donkey may rest." (See below, entry #15.)
10) [line 44] חרש CHERESH - a deaf person
153b----------------------------------------153b
11) [line 15] "כבוד אלקים הסתר דבר ..." "KEVOD ELOKIM HASTER DAVAR ..." - "It is the glory of HaSh-m to conceal a thing; but the honor of kings is to search out a matter." (Mishlei 25:2)
12) [line 18] בו ביום BO BA'YOM - on the day that the Chachamim went to visit Chananyah ben Chizkiyah ben Garon in the second story of his house, when they made 18 decrees, as explained above on Daf 13b
13) [line 18] גדשו סאה GADSHU SE'AH - they made a heaping (advantageous) measure of decrees
14) [line 19] מחקו סאה MACHAKU SE'AH - they made a leveled (disadvantageous) measure of decrees; i.e. their overabundance of decrees could cause people to transgress Torah Law
15) [line 25] מחמר MECHAMER
(a) It is forbidden to lead a donkey (Chamor) or other animal on Shabbos while it is laden, even by calling to it. One who does so transgresses a negative prohibition. (RAMBAM Hilchos Shabbos 20:6)
(b) "Shevisas Behemah" is a closely related positive commandment. One is required to allow his animals to rest on Shabbos as it states, "Lema'an Yanu'ach Shorcha va'Chamorecha" - "so that your ox and your donkey may rest" (Shemos 23:12). If one causes his animal to do work (i.e., one of the 39 categories of Melachah) on Shabbos, whether or not he is present at the time he transgresses a positive commandment. (This is not the same as Mechamer, which only applies when one leads his animal and the animal is laden).
16) [line 35] קלי קלי לא KALI KALI LO - but not a little at a time, i.e. it is forbidden to walk casually
