ffering be in paper,
and the one for purification be in his hand?" "Both are clean." R. Joshua
said, "the one for the purification is unclean." "They were placed on the
ground and one touched them?" "The one for purification is unclean, the
one containing the holy things, and the one with the heave-offering are
clean." "He moved them?" R. Joshua pronounces them "unclean," but the
Sages pronounce them "clean."
Chapter XI
1. "A pan for purification which one left open, and he found it covered?"
"It is disallowed." "He left it open and found a covering on it?" "If a
weasel could drink of it, or a serpent, according to the words of Rabban
Gamaliel, or there fell in it dew by night, it is disallowed." Water with
ashes cannot be saved (from legal impurity) by the covering(754) bound
upon it. And water in which there are no ashes, is saved by the covering
bound upon it.
2. Every doubt implies cleanness in the heave-offering and cleanness in
purification. Every reason for suspense in the heave-offering causes
pouring away of the water in purification. If acts requiring legal
cleanness be afterward performed, they are in suspense. Shallow water(755)
is clean for holy things, and the heave-offering and purification. R.
Eleazar said, "trickling water(756) is unclean for purification."
3. "A dried fig of the heave-offering which has fallen into water for
purification, and one has taken it out and eaten it?" "If it be the size
of an egg, whether it be unclean or clean, the water is unclean, and he
who ate it is guilty of death." R. Jose said, "if it be clean the water is
clean." He who was cleansed for the sin-offering, and afterward put his
head and the greater part of his body into water of purification, is
unclean.
4. Everyone charged by the words of the Law to enter water, renders
unclean holy things, and the heave-offering and ordinary things and the
tithe, and is prevented from entering the temple. "After entering (the
water) he renders unclean holy things, and disallows the heave-offering,"
the words of R. Meier, but the Sages say, "he disallows holy things and
the heave-offering, but he is permitted in ordinary things and tithes, and
if he came to the temple, whether before or after entering (water), he is
a debtor (to the Law)."
5. "Everyone charged by the words of the Scribes to enter water, renders
unclean holy things, and disallows the heave-offering, but allows ordinary
things and the tithes," the wor
