Commentary for Parah 7:7

הַמְכַנֵּן אֶת הַחֶבֶל עַל יָד עַל יָד, כָּשֵׁר. וְאִם כִּנְּנוֹ בָאַחֲרוֹנָה, פָּסוּל. אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹסֵי, לָזֶה הִכְשִׁירוּ הוֹרָאַת שָׁעָה:

One who wraps the rope around his hand [while drawing the water], it is valid [and not considered unrelated work]. And if he wraps it after [he finishes drawing the water], it is invalid. Rabbi Yose says: It was this [ruling] that they validated as a temporary teaching [as opposed that in the previous mishnah].
