Commentary for Parah 8:10

מֵי קַרְמְיוֹן וּמֵי פוּגָה, פְּסוּלִין, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהֵם מֵי בִצִּים. מֵי הַיַּרְדֵּן וּמֵי יַרְמוּךְ, פְּסוּלִים, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהֵם מֵי תַעֲרֹבוֹת. וְאֵלוּ הֵן מֵי תַעֲרֹבוֹת, אֶחָד כָּשֵׁר וְאֶחָד פָּסוּל, שֶׁנִּתְעָרְבוּ. שְׁנֵיהֶן כְּשֵׁרִין וְנִתְעָרְבוּ, כְּשֵׁרִין. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה פוֹסֵל:

Waters of Karmion and waters of Fugah [two of rivers in Israel] are invalid for they are marsh waters. The waters of the Jordan and waters of Yarmuch are invalid for they are mixed waters. And the following are mixed waters: one valid [water source] and one invalid which became mixed. Two valid [water sources] that became mixed are valid; Rabbi Yehuda invalidates [them].
