Commentary for Parah 7:12

הַפּוֹרֵץ עַל מְנָת לִגְדֹּר, כָּשֵׁר. וְאִם גָּדַר, פָּסוּל. הָאוֹכֵל עַל מְנָת לִקְצוֹת, כָּשֵׁר. וְאִם קָצָה, פָּסוּל. הָיָה אוֹכֵל וְהוֹתִיר וְזָרַק מַה שֶּׁבְּיָדוֹ לְתַחַת הַתְּאֵנָה אוֹ לְתוֹךְ הַמֻּקְצֶה בִּשְׁבִיל שֶׁלֹּא יֹאבַד, פָּסוּל:

If [while carrying the drawn water to be sanctified] one breached [a fence] on a condition to re-fence it, it [the water] is valid. But if he did re-fence it, it is invalid. If [between drawing and sanctifying the water] one eats on condition to spread [the leftover seeds], it [the water] is valid. But if he did spread, it is invalid. If one was eating and had [food] leftover, and threw what was in his hand underneath the fig tree or into the designated region [for drying figs] in order that it not go to waste, it [the water] is invalid.
