Kommentar zu Makhshirin 2:1
זֵעַת בָּתִּים, בּוֹרוֹת, שִׁיחִין וּמְעָרוֹת, טְהוֹרָה. זֵעַת הָאָדָם, טְהוֹרָה. שָׁתָה מַיִם טְמֵאִין וְהִזִּיעַ, זֵעָתוֹ טְהוֹרָה. בָּא בְמַיִם שְׁאוּבִים וְהִזִּיעַ, זֵעָתוֹ טְמֵאָה. נִסְתַּפֵּג וְאַחַר כָּךְ הִזִּיעַ, זֵעָתוֹ טְהוֹרָה:
Feuchtigkeit [an den Wänden von] Häusern, Zisternen, Gräben und Höhlen ist rein [sie macht Lebensmittel nicht anfällig für Verunreinigungen]. Der Schweiß einer Person ist rein. Wenn man unreines Wasser trank und dann schwitzte, ist sein Schweiß rein. Wenn er in gezogenes Wasser ging und [dann] schwitzte, ist sein Schweiß unrein [macht Lebensmittel anfällig für Verunreinigungen]. Wenn er sich abtrocknete und dann schwitzte, ist sein Schweiß rein.

English Explanation of Mishnah Makhshirin
The sweat of houses, of cisterns, of ditches and caverns does not cause susceptibility to uncleanness. Sweat from buildings and other structures, meaning the moisture formed on their outsides, has not been moved by a person and therefore it does not cause susceptibility to impurity.

English Explanation of Mishnah Makhshirin
A man's perspiration does not cause susceptibility to uncleanness. Human perspiration similarly does not cause susceptibility.

English Explanation of Mishnah Makhshirin
If a man drank unclean water and perspired, his perspiration does not cause susceptibility to uncleanness. The sweat that comes out of his body is not accorded the same status as the unclean water from which it comes, because he already ingested it. It counts as sweat and therefore it does not cause susceptibility.

English Explanation of Mishnah Makhshirin
If he entered into drawn water and perspired, his perspiration causes susceptibility to uncleanness. In this case, since he didn't ingest the water but rather bathed in it, his sweat is considered as if it came from the drawn water. Therefore, it causes susceptibility.

English Explanation of Mishnah Makhshirin
If he dried himself and then perspired, his perspiration does not cause susceptibility to uncleanness. If he then dries himself, he has gotten rid of the water from the drawn water and his sweat is considered to be from his body. Therefore, it no longer causes susceptibility.
