הַטָּהוֹר לְחַטָּאת שֶׁנָּגַע בְּתַנּוּר, בְּיָדוֹ, טָמֵא. וּבְרַגְלוֹ, טָהוֹר. הָיָה עוֹמֵד עַל גַּבֵּי תַנּוּר וּפָשַׁט יָדוֹ חוּץ לַתַּנּוּר, וְהַלָּגִין בְּתוֹכוֹ, וְכֵן הָאֵסֶל שֶׁהוּא נָתוּן עַל גַּבֵּי הַתַּנּוּר וּבוֹ שְׁנֵי קְלָלוֹת, אֶחָד מִכָּאן וְאֶחָד מִכָּאן, רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא מְטַהֵר, וַחֲכָמִים מְטַמְּאִין:
Chi è puro per chatat , che [poi] ha toccato un forno, con la sua mano, è impuro, con il suo piede, è [ancora] puro. Se fosse in piedi sopra un forno e la sua mano fosse tesa oltre il forno e [tenendo] in esso la brocca [con le ceneri], e allo stesso modo un'asta [per contenere brocche] posizionata sopra un forno con due kallalot [ appeso] su di esso, uno da un lato e l'altro, il rabbino Akiva li considera puri e i saggi li considerano impuri.
Sefer HaChinukh
From the laws of the commandment - that which they said (Mishnah Parah 6:5) that we only fill the waters that we put on the ashes, with a vessel, from the bubbling springs and from the flowing rivers; [that] the placing of the waters on the ashes is called by our Rabbis, may their memory be blessed, the "sanctification of the sin-offering waters"; [that] the waters that he places upon the ashes are called the "niddah waters" by the verse; [that] all are fit to fill the waters and to sanctify, except for a deaf-mute, a mentally incapacitated person or a minor (Mishnah Parah 10:4); [that] one who is involved in another work at the time of filling the waters or in bringing them, disqualifies them (Mishnah Parah 4:4), but that after he puts the ashes in them, [other] work does not disqualify them; [that] a wage also disqualifies in the sanctification and the sprinkling (Bekhorot 29a), [such that] the waters and ashes of one who takes a wage to sanctify or sprinkle are like the [regular] waters of a cave and like the [regular] ashes of an oven, but one who takes a wage for the filling [of the waters] does not disqualify [them]; and the rest of its many details - are [all] elucidated in Tractate Parah (see Mishneh Torah, Laws of Red Heifer 1).
