Introduction

Hebrew Text

ולמה מזכירין דברי שמאי והלל לבטלן?
ללמד לדורות הבאין, שלא יהא אדם עומד על דברו-
שהרי אבות העולם לא עמדו על דבריהם.

English Translation

edit
And why do they record the words of Shammai and Hillel when they are not followed?
To teach the coming generations that none should persist in his opinions -
for look, the 'fathers of the world' did not persist in their opinion.
