מַקֵּל שֶׁהִיא מְלֵאָה מַשְׁקִין טְמֵאִין, כֵּיוָן שֶׁהִשִּׁיקָהּ לַמִּקְוֶה, טְהוֹרָה, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, עַד שֶׁיַּטְבִּיל אֶת כֻּלָּהּ. הַנִּצּוֹק וְהַקְּטַפְרֵס וּמַשְׁקֶה טוֹפֵחַ, אֵינָן חִבּוּר לֹא לַטֻּמְאָה וְלֹא לַטָּהֳרָה. וְהָאֶשְׁבֹּרֶן, חִבּוּר לַטֻּמְאָה וְלַטָּהֳרָה:
Un bastone pieno di liquido impuro, una volta che tocca una mikvah diventa puro, secondo il rabbino Yehoshua. E i saggi dicono: [non è reso puro] finché non si immerge la sua interezza. Una doccia [di liquidi che vengono versati], o [liquidi che scorrono verso il basso] un'inclinazione o un liquido gocciolante [abbastanza per far bagnare qualcos'altro, ma non abbastanza per, a sua volta, bagnare qualcos'altro], questi non costituiscono una connessione per impurità o per purezza [cioè se una parte di essi è resa pura o impura non influisce sullo stato di purezza del resto]. Ma una fossa [di acqua stagnante] costituisce una connessione per l'impurità e per la purezza.
Jerusalem Talmud Chagigah
There, we have stated: “A staff which is full of impure fluids, when it touched the miqweh it is pure, the words of Rebbi Joshua. But the Sages are saying, only if he immerses it completely.” Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, where do they disagree? For easy impurity; but for severe impurity even Rebbi Joshua agrees. Rebbi Joḥanan said, they even disagree for severe impurity. A baraita disagrees with Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: “As long as his feet are in the water, he may consider himself pure for any stage he chooses.” Explain it about one who ate impure food and drank impure drinks. Did not Rebbi Jacob bar Zavdi, Rebbi Abbahu say in the name of Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish, the body of one who ate impure food and drank impure drinks is pure without special intention? From the moment he intended elevated purity he (needs) [does not need] intention. A Mishnah disagrees with Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: “A miqweh containing exactly 40 seah into two persons descended, [both are pure]. One after the other, the first one is pure, the second impure. Rebbi Jehudah says, if the feet of the first touched the water, the second one also is pure.” Still this is about one who ate impure food and drank impure drinks. A baraita disagrees with Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: A woman in her period may rinse a radish in a cave and it is pure. If she lifted it in any way out of the water it is impure. And we have stated thereto: Rebbi Jehudah declares it pure in the name of Rebbi Joshua. And represents a menstruating woman not a severe impurity? This disagrees with Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish and it has no standing.
