Zavim 3

הַזָּב וְהַטָּהוֹר שֶׁיָּשְׁבוּ בִסְפִינָה אוֹ בְאַסְדָּא אוֹ שֶׁרָכְבוּ עַל גַּבֵּי בְהֵמָה, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵין בִּגְדֵיהֶם נוֹגְעִים, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ טְמֵאִים מִדְרָס. יָשְׁבוּ עַל הַנֶּסֶר, עַל הַסַּפְסָל, עַל הַגָּשִׁישׁ שֶׁל מִטָּה וְעַל הָאַכְלוֹנָס, בִּזְמַן שֶׁהֵן מַחְגִּירִין, עָלוּ בְאִילָן שֶׁכֹּחוֹ רַע, בְּסוֹכָה שֶׁכֹּחָהּ רַע, בְּאִילָן יָפֶה, בְּסֻלָּם מִצְרִי בִּזְמַן שֶׁאֵינוֹ קָבוּעַ בְּמַסְמֵר, עַל הַכֶּבֶשׁ וְעַל הַקּוֹרָה וְעַל הַדֶּלֶת בִּזְמַן שֶׁאֵין עֲשׂוּיִין בְּטִיט, טְמֵאִים. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה מְטַהֵר:

[If] a <i>zav</i> and a clean person sat together on a boat or on a raft or they are riding on an animal, even though their clothing do not touch, they are unclean due to [uncleanliness called] <i>midras</i> [treading contact]. [If] they sat on a plank, a bench, a bed frame or a beam that are insecure, [or] if they [both] climbed up a tree that is weak, or [they were] on a weak branch in a strong tree, [or they were climbing] an Egyptian ladder that was not securely [to a wall] with a nail, [or they sat together] on a bridge, a rafter or on a door that was not made [secured] with clay, they are unclean. Rabbi Yehuda says they are clean.

מְגִיפִין אוֹ פוֹתְחִין. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, עַד שֶׁיְּהֵא זֶה מֵגִיף וְזֶה פוֹתֵחַ. מַעֲלִין זֶה אֶת זֶה מִן הַבּוֹר. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, עַד שֶׁיְּהֵא הַטָּהוֹר מַעֲלֶה אֶת הַטָּמֵא. מַפְשִׁילִין בַּחֲבָלִין. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, עַד שֶׁיִּהְיֶה זֶה מוֹשֵׁךְ הֵילֵךְ וְזֶה מוֹשֵׁךְ הֵילֵךְ. אוֹרְגִים, בֵּין בְּעוֹמְדִין בֵּין בְּיוֹשְׁבִין אוֹ טוֹחֲנִין. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן מְטַהֵר בְּכֻלָּן, חוּץ מִן הַטּוֹחֲנִין בְּרֵחַיִם שֶׁל יָד. פּוֹרְקִין מִן הַחֲמוֹר אוֹ טוֹעֲנִין, בִּזְמַן שֶׁמַּשָּׂאָם כָּבֵד, טְמֵאִין. בִּזְמַן שֶׁמַּשָׂאָם קַל, טְהוֹרִין. וְכֻלָּן טְהוֹרִין לִבְנֵי הַכְּנֶסֶת וּטְמֵאִין לַתְּרוּמָה:

[If a <i>zav</i> and a clean person] close or open [a door together, the clean person and his clothes are unclean], [but] the Sages say, [he does not become unclean unless] one is closing [the door] and one is opening [the door]. If one was raising the other from a pit [the clean person and his clothes are unclean]. Rabbi Yehuda says, only if the clean one is the one raising the unclean one. [If they were] twisting ropes together [the clean person and his clothes are unclean], [but] the Sages say, only when one is pulling in one direction and the other is pulling in the opposite direction. [If they were] weaving [together], whether standing or sitting, or they are grinding [wheat, the clean person and his clothes are unclean]. Rabbi Shimon [says that in all the cases] the clean man remains clean, unless they were grinding with a hand mill. [If they were] unloading a donkey or loading it, if the load is heavy, they are unclean, if the load is light, they are clean. In both cases [whether the load is light or heavy] they are clean to join members of the synagogue [who eat <i>chullin</i> in purity] but are [considered] unclean [if he is a <i>kohen</i>] to eat <i>terumah</i> [a portion of a crop given to a <i>kohen</i> which becomes holy upon separation, and can only be consumed by the <i>kohen</i> or his household].

הַזָּב וְהַטָּהוֹר שֶׁיָּשְׁבוּ בִסְפִינָה גְדוֹלָה, אֵיזוֹ הִיא סְפִינָה גְדוֹלָה. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, כֹּל שֶׁאֵינָהּ יְכוֹלָה לְהָמִיט בָּאָדָם. יָשְׁבוּ עַל הַנֶּסֶר, עַל הַסַּפְסָל, עַל הַגָּשִׁישׁ שֶׁל מִטָּה וְעַל הָאַכְלוֹנָס בִּזְמַן שֶׁאֵינָן מַחְגִּירִין, עָלוּ בְאִילָן שֶׁכֹּחוֹ יָפֶה, בְּסוֹכָה שֶׁכֹּחָהּ יָפֶה, וּבְסֻלָּם צוֹרִי אוֹ מִצְרִי בִּזְמַן שֶׁהוּא קָבוּעַ בְּמַסְמֵר, עַל הַכֶּבֶשׁ, עַל הַקּוֹרָה וְעַל הַדֶּלֶת בִּזְמַן שֶׁהֵן עֲשׂוּיִין בְּטִיט אֲפִלּוּ מִצַּד אֶחָד, טְהוֹרִין. הַטָּהוֹר מַכֶּה אֶת הַטָּמֵא, טָהוֹר. הַטָּמֵא מַכֶּה אֶת הַטָּהוֹר, טָמֵא, שֶׁאִם יִמָּשֵׁךְ הַטָּהוֹר, הֲרֵי הַטָּמֵא נוֹפֵל:

[If] a Zav and a clean person sat [together] on a big boat, [but] what is a big boat? Rabbi Yehuda says, One that does not sway with a man's weight, [or if] they sat on a plank, bench or bed frame or a beam when they are firmly secure, [or] they went up into a tree that is strong, or in a branch that is strong [or they they were climbing] on a Tyrian ladder or an Egyptian [ladder] that was secured [to a wall] with a nail, [or] on a ramp or a rafter or on a door when clay was used [to secure them in the ground], even [only] on one side, they are clean. A clean person that hit an unclean person [he remains] clean. [If] an unclean person hits a clean person, [the clean person] becomes unclean, because if the clean person draws [back, as he is being hit], the unclean person would surely fall, thus it is as if the <i>zav</i> had actually leaned on the clean person and that renders him unclean].
