Quotation for Makhshirin 5:6

הַחוֹבֵט עַל הַשֶּׁלַח, חוּץ לַמַּיִם, בְּכִי יֻתַּן. לְתוֹךְ הַמַּיִם, אֵינָן בְּכִי יֻתַּן. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, אַף לְתוֹךְ הַמַּיִם בְּכִי יֻתַּן, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא מִתְכַּוֵּן שֶׁיֵּצְאוּ עִם הַצּוֹאָה:

[If] one strikes an animal's hide outside of the water that does achieve <i>BeKhi Yutan</i>, [if he struck it while it was] inside the water, that does not achieve <i>BeKhi Yutan</i>. Rabbi Yose says: Even [if he struck it] inside the water it achieves <i>BeKhi Yutan</i> because he intends for it [the water] to come out with the excrement.
