cleanness." Rabbi
Akiba went further and said, "from the (first) days of the priesthood the
priests did not object to light the oil which was disallowed on the day of
a man's baptism (who had been legally unclean), with a candle which was
unclean with the uncleanness of the dead, even though they should add
legal uncleanness to legal uncleanness."

7. Said R. Meier, "from their words we learn that men may burn the clean
heave-offering of leaven, with that which is unclean, on account of the
passover." To him replied Rabbi Jose, "this is not the conclusion." But
Rabbi Eliezer and Rabbi Joshua confess "that men should burn each by
itself." And the contention is with regard to what is doubtful, and what
is unclean. Because Rabbi Eliezer said, "thou shalt burn each by itself."
But R. Joshua said, "both at once."

Chapter II

1. The whole time that it is allowed to eat leaven, men may feed beasts
with it, and wild animals and fowls, and they may sell it to a stranger.
And they are allowed to enjoy it in every way. When that season has passed
over its enjoyment is disallowed, and they must not heat with it an oven
or a stove. Rabbi Judah said, "there is no riddance of leaven but by
burning." But the Sages say, "also by powdering and scattering it to the
wind, or casting it into the sea."

2. "The leaven of a stranger, over which the passover has passed?" "Its
enjoyment is allowed." "But of an Israelite?" "Its enjoyment is
disallowed," as is said,(129) "And there shall no leavened bread be seen
with thee."

3. "The stranger who has lent money to an Israelite on his leaven?" "After
passover its enjoyment is allowed." "And an Israelite who lent money to
the stranger on his leaven?" "Its enjoyment after passover is disallowed."
"Leaven over which a building fell?" "It is as though it was cleared
away." Rabban Simon, son of Gamaliel, said, "all after which the dog
cannot snuff."

4. "He who has eaten a leavened heave-offering during the passover in
error?" "He must pay its value and a fifth more." "In presumption?" "He is
free from the payment, and from its value even for fuel."(130)

5. These are the things by which one can discharge his obligation to eat
unleavened bread during the passover; with cakes made of wheat, and
barley, and rye, and oats, and spelt; and they discharge their obligation
in that of which the tithing was doubtful, and in the first tithe after
the heave-offering was separated from it, and in se
