תלמוד על ברכות 8:4

HALAKHAH: But needs profane food intention¹⁹⁵Since profane food does not require pure bodies there should be no requirement for immersion and therefore no possibility of intention. Babli 19a.? He is informing you of more: even if he immersed himself for profane food and considers himself pure for profane food he is prohibited tithe. Did not Rebbi Eleazar say, the count for profane food is the count for tithe¹⁹⁶Profane food only can become impure in the first degree and disqualify in the second. The same holds for Second Tithe.? Here it is for eating, there for touching¹⁹⁷Eating Second Tithe needs a body pure by intention but not handling it.. He who immerses himself without specification is pure for all of them¹⁹⁸Tosephta 3:2; Babli 19a. For R. Joḥanan if at the moment of immersion it was impossible for the person to eat tithe, heave, or sancta, the immersion cannot be valid for one of these.. Rebbi Joḥanan said, if he had relationship with all of them. As long as his feet are in the water, he may consider himself pure for any stage he chooses¹⁹⁹Since water is considered one body, the person standing in the water in this respect is like one immersed and still has the choice of the degree of impurity imparted by the immersion..
