ing heave-offerings." "If he baptized for heave-offerings, and
indicated it to be for heave-offerings?" "He is prohibited from eating the
holy flesh." "If he baptized for the holy flesh, and indicated it to be
for the holy flesh?" "He is prohibited from the sin-offering." "If he
baptized for the weighty?" "He is permitted the light." "If he baptized,
and did not indicate his intention?" "It is as no baptism."
7. Treading on the garments of an ordinary man defiled the Pharisees.
Treading on the garments of the Pharisees defiled those who eat the
heave-offering. Treading on the garments of those who eat the
heave-offering defiled for the holy flesh. Treading on the garments of
those who eat the holy flesh defiles for the sin-offering. Joseph, the son
of Joezer, was the most pious of the priesthood, and treading on his cloak
defiled for the holy flesh. Jochanan, the son of Gudgada, used to eat with
the purification for the holy flesh all his life; and treading on his
cloak defiled for the sin-offering.
Chapter III
1. There are more weighty rules for holy things, than for the
heave-offering. Because vessels may be baptized in vessels for the
heave-offering, but not for holy things. The outside and inside and handle
(are reckoned separately) for the heave-offering, but not for holy things.
He who carries that which defiles by treading upon it, may carry the
heave-offering but not the holy flesh. Treading on the garments of those
who eat the heave-offering defiles for the holy flesh. The measure of the
holy flesh is not as the measure of the heave-offering. Because for the
holy flesh one must loose his garments and dry himself, and baptize and
afterward bind them up. But in the heave-offering he can bind them up and
afterward baptize himself.
2. Vessels completed in purity must be baptized for holy things, but not
for the heave-offering. A vessel unites whatever is inside to holy things,
but not to the heave-offering. The fourth degree of legal uncleanness(363)
is disallowed in holy things, and the third degree in the heave-offering.
In the heave-offering, if one of the hands be unclean, its fellow may be
clean, but in holy things one must baptize both hands; because each
renders its fellow unclean for holy things, but not for the
heave-offering.
3. Men may eat with unwashen hands the dry meat of the heave-offering, but
not the holy flesh. The first day mourner, and he who failed in atonement,
have need of bap
