Quotation for Makhshirin 5:11

הָאִשָּׁה שֶׁהָיוּ יָדֶיהָ טְהוֹרוֹת, וּמְגִיסָה בִקְדֵרָה טְמֵאָה, אִם הִזִּיעוּ יָדֶיהָ, טְמֵאוֹת. הָיוּ יָדֶיהָ טְמֵאוֹת, וּמְגִיסָה בִקְדֵרָה טְהוֹרָה, אִם הִזִּיעוּ יָדֶיהָ, הַקְּדֵרָה טְמֵאָה. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, אִם נָטְפוּ. הַשּׁוֹקֵל עֲנָבִים בְּכַף מֹאזְנַיִם, הַיַּיִן שֶׁבַּכַּף, טָהוֹר, עַד שֶׁיְּעָרֶה לְתוֹךְ הַכְּלִי. הֲרֵי זֶה דוֹמֶה לְסַלֵּי זֵיתִים וַעֲנָבִים כְּשֶׁהֵן מְנַטְּפִין:

[If] the hands of a woman are pure and she stirs an impure pot her hands [become] impure if they sweat. [If] her hands are impure and she stirs a pure pot, the pot [becomes] impure if her hands sweat. Rabbi Yose says: If [her hands] drip [sweat]. [If] one weighs grapes in the pan of a scale, wine that is in the pan is pure [is not subject to impurity] until he pours it into a vessel. This is similar to baskets of olives and grapes when they are dripping [juice].
