Talmud for Parah 9:4

הַחוֹשֵׁב עַל מֵי חַטָּאת לִשְׁתּוֹת, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, פָּסוּל. רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אוֹמֵר, כְּשֶׁיַּטֶּה. אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹסֵי, בַּמֶּה דְבָרִים אֲמוּרִים, בְּמַיִם שֶׁאֵינָם מְקֻדָּשִׁים. אֲבָל בְּמַיִם הַמְקֻדָּשִׁין, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, כְּשֶׁיַּטֶּה. רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אוֹמֵר, כְּשֶׁיִּשְׁתֶּה. וְאִם גִּרְגֵּר, כָּשֵׁר:

One who thinks of drinking the <i>chatat</i> waters, Rabbi Eliezer says: he has invalidated [the waters]. Rabbi Yehoshua says: Once he tilts [the vessel to drink from it, the waters then become invalid]. Rabbi Yose says: To which [case] do these words refer? To water which was not [yet] sanctified; but with sanctified water Rabbi Eliezer says: Once he tilts [the vessel to drink from it, the waters then become invalid]. Rabbi Yehoshua says: Once he drinks. If he swallowed it [without bringing the vessel to his mouth], it [the water left in the vessel] is valid.
