כָּל הָאֳכָלִין מִצְטָרְפִין, לִפְסוֹל אֶת הַגְּוִיָּה בְכַחֲצִי פְרָס, בִּמְזוֹן שְׁתֵּי סְעֻדּוֹת לָעֵרוּב, בְּכַבֵּיצָה לְטַמֵּא טֻמְאַת אֳכָלִין, בְּכַגְּרוֹגֶרֶת לְהוֹצָאַת שַׁבָּת, בְּכַכּוֹתֶבֶת בְּיוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים. כָּל הַמַּשְׁקִין מִצְטָרְפִין, לִפְסוֹל אֶת הַגְּוִיָּה בִרְבִיעִית, וּבִמְלֹא לֻגְמָיו בְּיוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים:

All foods combine to invalidate a body, [if one consumed] in the amount similar to a half of a half of a loaf of bread loaf of bread; [so too] the amount of food needed for two meals for an <i>eruv</i> [a halachic merging of separate domains by means of setting aside an amount of food in a designated place]; [so to] the size of an egg in order to transmit food impurity [to other things]; the size of a dry fig to make one liable for carrying out on Shabbat; the size of a [large] date to make 0ne liable on [for eating on] Yom Kippur. All liquids combine to invalidate the body with a <i>revi'it</i> [specific unit of volume]; and the "cheek-full" size to make one liable on Yom Kippur.
