We do not bless:

Neither over the flame nor over the spices of idolaters.

Neither over the flame nor over the spices of the dead.

Neither over the flame nor over the spices in front of an idol.

One who ate, and forgot, and did not bless:

The school of Shammai says, he returns to his place and blesses.

The school of Hillel says, he blesses in the place where he remembered.

Until when may he bless?

Until the food in his bowels is digested.

Mishnah 8

If wine is brought to them after the meal,

and nothing is [available] there except for that cup:

The school of Shammai says, "Bless the wine, and afterward bless the meal."

The school of Hillel says, "Bless the meal and afterward bless the wine."

Respond "Amen" after a Jew blesses,

and there is no response of amen after a Samaritan blesses until one has heard the whole blessing.
