Comentario sobre Tohorot 5:4
הַשֶּׁרֶץ וְהַצְּפַרְדֵּעַ בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים, נָגַע בְּאַחַד מֵהֶם וְעָשָׂה טָהֳרוֹת וְנֶאֱכְלוּ, טָבַל, נָגַע בַּשֵּׁנִי וְעָשָׂה טָהֳרוֹת, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ טְהוֹרוֹת. אִם קַיָּמוֹת הָרִאשׁוֹנוֹת, אֵלּוּ וָאֵלּוּ תְּלוּיוֹת. אִם לֹא טָבַל בֵּינְתַיִם, הָרִאשׁוֹנוֹת תְּלוּיוֹת וְהַשְּׁנִיּוֹת יִשָּׂרֵפוּ:
Si una alimaña y una rana están en el dominio público, y alguien tocó una de ellas y luego preparó cosas puras, y se las comió, y luego se sumergió, y luego tocó la segunda y preparó cosas puras, estas [últimas] cosas son puros Si los primeros aún existen, ambos [sets] se mantienen en suspensión [y no se pueden comer ni quemar]. Si no se sumergió en el medio, los primeros están en suspensión y los segundos deben quemarse.
English Explanation of Mishnah Tahorot
If there was a sheretz and a frog in a public domain and a man touched one of them and then prepared clean foods which were subsequently consumed; and then he immersed, and then he touched the other and then prepared clean foods, the latter are deemed clean. If the first foods were still in existence both must be held in suspense. If he did not immerse in the meanwhile, the first are held in suspense and the second must be burnt .
This mishnah is basically the same mishnah as yesterday's mishnah, except the doubt about whether the person was impure is slightly different. In today's mishnah the person is not sure whether he touched a frog, in which case he is pure, or a sheretz, a dead creepy crawly thing, in which case he is impure. The mishnah teaches that the rule here is the same as the rule in yesterday's mishnah concerning one who walked down two paths, one of which was impure. For an explanation, see yesterday's mishnah.
