Commento su Kelim 29:8

מגריפה (ladle – of the household) – that they remove/sweep ashes/coals from the oven and double stove, or the plaster/clay. The Aramaic translation of (Numbers 4:14): “[Upon I they shall place all the vessels that are used in its service: the fire pans, the flesh hooks,] the scrapers/יעים [and the basins – all the vessels of the altar – and over it they shall spread a covering of dolphin skin;]”is מגרופייתא /from ladles.

The remnant of the shaft of an ox-goad at its lower end is regarded as connected up to a length of seven handbreadths.
The shaft of a householders' shovel Bet Shammai says: to a length of seven handbreadths, And Bet Hillel says: eight handbreadths.
That of the plasterers: Bet Shammai says: nine handbreadths And Bet Hillel says: ten handbreadths.
Any parts exceeding these lengths, if he wanted to retain it, is also susceptible to uncleanness.
The shafts of fire instruments are susceptible to uncleanness whatsoever their length.
Section one: Concerning the ox-goad, see yesterday's mishnah. Yesterday's mishnah referred to the upper end, whereas today's mishnah refers to the lower end.
Section two: The next two sections contain disputes between Bet Shammai and Bet Hillel concerning the length of the shaft of different types of shovels. It is curious that the two houses have not had any disputes until the end of this chapter. I would imagine that indeed they did dispute many other vessels mentioned in this chapter, but for some reason the editors of the Mishnah did not preserve their disputes.
Section four: The lengths of the shafts or cords for all of the vessels mentioned in this chapter are default lengths. What this means is that up to such a length is always susceptible to impurity and we can assume that beyond that length is pure, because the person doesn’t really want the cord or shaft to extend beyond that length. However, as this section notes, if one does want to retain the shaft or cord for a greater length, then whatever he wants to retain is susceptible to impurity. In other words, his personal intention can supersede the default.
Section five: It is understandable why one might want a very long handle on an instrument used with fire. Therefore, the handle is susceptible to impurity for as long as it might be.
[By the way you just finished the chapter. Only one more chapter to go four days!]

ושל סיידים (of plasterers) – that they remove the plaster/lime.

יתר מכן – more than these measures that the Sages counted in the hand of the ladle, if he wants this preservation of the extra length.

טמא – if the vessel is defiled, and similarly, if the defilement came in contact with all of this length of the handle, the vessel is defiled with it, for it is a connector to the vessel.

יד משמשי אור (shaft of fire implements) – such as the handle of the spit and the lattice-work of a fire place and the deep and covered plan, and other vessels and their utensils/implements through the fire.
