Eine Stringenz von Kodesh über Terumah: Gefäße in Gefäßen können für Terumah eingetaucht werden [wenn beide unrein sind], aber nicht für Kodesh. [Denn wir sagen, dass das Gewicht des inneren Gefäßes gegen das äußere als Trennwand gegen das Wasser wirkt und das Eintauchen für beides nicht von Nutzen ist. Außen und innen und Griff (Beth Hatzvitah) (gelten als unterschiedliche Gefäße) in Bezug auf Terumah, aber nicht in Bezug auf Kodesh. [Ein Gefäß, dessen Innen- und Außenbereich und Griff verwendet werden können—Jede Funktion, die es erfüllt, macht es zu einem besonderen Gefäß gegenüber Terumah. Wenn einer (der drei) unrein wird, werden die anderen nicht unrein. Dies mit rabbinischer Unreinheit. Wenn also das Äußere durch unreine Flüssigkeiten unrein wird, werden das Innere und der Griff nicht unrein. Und wenn der Griff unrein wird, werden das Äußere und das Innere nicht unrein. "beth hatzvitah", "ein Ort zum Halten", wie in (Ruth 2:14): "Vayitzbat lah kali" ("Und er hielt ihr ausgetrockneten Mais hin." Einige lasen es als "beth hatzviah" ("der Ort") des Fingers "), ein Platz im Gefäß, an dem er beim Trinken seinen Finger hineinstecken kann, damit er seine Hand nicht in das Gefäß legt. (" aber nicht in Bezug auf Kodesh ":) Wenn einer der drei Bereiche wird unrein mit rabbinischer Unreinheit, das ganze Gefäß ist unrein für Kodesh.] Wer eine Midras [einen Schuh eines Zav] trägt, kann Terumah tragen [wenn er es in einem irdenen Gefäß wünscht; denn er berührt nicht das Innere.], aber nicht kodesh, [wegen eines tatsächlichen Ereignisses. Einmal trug ein Mann einen Krug mit libationalem Wein und der Riemen seiner Sandale (die Midras eines Zav) riss. Als er ihn in die Hand nahm, fiel er in den Krug und Das Kodesh darin wurde unrein. Damals sagten sie: Wenn jemand ein Midras trägt, darf er kein Kodesh tragen. Und weil der Vorfall mit Kodesh war, verfügten sie nur mit Kodesh, aber nicht mit Terumah.] Nicht wie th Das "Maß" von Kodesh [gegenüber einer Chatzitzah (Teilung) beim Eintauchen] ist das "Maß" von Terumah. Denn mit Kodesh [wenn er ein unreines Kleidungsstück hat und es eintauchen will, wenn es gebunden ist], befreit er die Krawatte, [denn es ist wie eine Chatzitzah], trocknet sie [wenn es feucht ist, trocknet er es, denn die Öligkeit darauf ist wie eine Chatzitzah], und er taucht sie ein und bindet sie dann wieder zusammen. Aber mit Terumah [wenn er es wünscht] bindet er es und taucht es dann ein [gebunden, und es gibt keinen Grund zur Sorge.]

English Explanation of Mishnah Chagigah
Introduction
In the previous two mishnayot we learned that the rules regarding eating “sacred things,” namely sacrifices, are more stringent than the rules regarding eating terumah. Our mishnah teaches several more aspects in which eating sacred things is treated more stringently.

Bartenura on Mishnah Chagigah
אבל לא לקודש – since we say that the heaviness of the inner utensil which weighs upon the outside which is placed within it, leaves a space before the defilement (tit must say, “before the water, and so it is in Rashi and in the Gemara – Tractate Hagigah 21a), for Ritual immersion is not effective for either one (i.e., Terumah/Priest’s due or Holy things).

English Explanation of Mishnah Chagigah
Greater stringency applies to sacred things than to terumah, that they may immerse vessels within vessels [together] for terumah, but not for sacred things. When it comes to immersing impure vessels in order to purify them, if they are going to be used to hold terumah, one vessel may be immersed inside another vessel. If the vessel is going to be used for sacrifices, then the vessels cannot be immersed one inside the other.

Bartenura on Mishnah Chagigah
אחוריים ותוך ובית הצביטה לתרומה – a utensil that is appropriate to use inside it and at its back/outside and its handle. Each and every usage with it is considered a utensil in and of itself with regard to Terumah/priest’s due, for if one part became defiled, the other part did not become defiled. And we are speaking of Rabbinic defilements, for if the back/outside became defiled win ritually impure liquids, the inside is not defiled, nor the handle, but if the handle was defiled, the back and insides were not defiled. And the explanation of בית הצביטה – is something you grab hold of, such as the language of (Ruth 2:14): “He handed her roast grain, [and she ate her fill and had some left over].” But there are those who have the reading "בית הצביעה" – from the language for a finger – that they for the utensil a handle to place one’s finger inside it. When he drinks, in order that he not place hand inside the utensil proper.

English Explanation of Mishnah Chagigah
The outside and inside and handle [of a vessel are regarded as separate] for terumah, but not for sacred things. When it comes to terumah, each part of the vessel is considered as being separate. So if an impure thing touches the handle of the vessel, only the handle is impure and the contents inside the vessel are still pure. If something touches the outside of the vessel, only the outside is impure and not the inside. Finally, if something impure touches the inside only the inside is impure. When it comes to sacred things, if one part of the vessel is impure, the whole vessel is impure and will cause other things to become impure as well.

אבל לא לקודש – for if one of them became ritually defiled in Rabbinic defilements, it is entirely impure for Holy things.

English Explanation of Mishnah Chagigah
One that carries anything possessing midras-uncleanness may carry [at the same time] terumah, but not sacred things. I explained “midras-impurity” in yesterday’s mishnah. Today’s mishnah teaches that if someone is holding an object that had become impure through midras (someone sat, stood, lied or applied pressure on it) he can hold in his other hand terumah. The vessel does not make him impure such that he makes the terumah impure. However, he cannot hold sacred things at the same time.

נושא את התרומה – [he can carry priest’s due] if he wants in an earthen wine-jug, which does not touch its airspace.
Ask RabbiBookmarkShareCopy
English Explanation of Mishnah Chagigah
The rule [for the immersion of garments] for [those who would eat terumah is not the same as the rule for [those who would eat] sacred things: for in the case of sacred things, he must [first] untie [any knots in the unclean garment], dry it [if it is wet, then] immerse it, and afterwards retie it; but in case of terumah, it may [first] be tied and afterwards immersed. When one wants to immerse something to be used for sacred things must first untie all of the knots, dry them all off, then he may immerse it and then once it’s been immersed he may retie the knots. In contrast, if a vessel is going to be used for terumah, the knots don’t have to be taken out before it is immersed.

אבל לא את הקודש – because of an incident that had taken place with an individual who had been carrying a jug of wine of drink-offerings, and his sandal-strap of his shoe broke that had Levitical uncleanness arising from an individual with a flux’s immediate contact by treading/leaning against, etc., and he took it in his hand and as a result, it fell into the atmosphere of the jug, and the Holy thing was ritually defiled; at that hour they said that whomever carries Levitical uncleanness arising from an individual with a flux’s immediate contact by treading/leaning against, should not carry any Holy thing, and because I was an incident that happened with something that was considered a Holy thing. Therefore, they did not make a decree other than with something that was Holy and not priest’s due.
