Comentário sobre Eduyoth 3:4
כָּל הַחוֹצָלוֹת טְמֵאוֹת טְמֵא מֵת, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי דוֹסָא. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, מִדְרָס. כָּל הַקְּלִיעוֹת טְהוֹרוֹת, חוּץ מִשֶּׁל גַּלְגִּילוֹן, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי דוֹסָא. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, כֻּלָּם טְמֵאוֹת, חוּץ מִשֶּׁל צַמָּרִים:
Todos os tipos de esteiras [feitas de borracha e similares, que têm uma rotatória na borda e são um "receptáculo"] são suscetíveis à impureza do corpo morto, [mas não a mishkav ("deitado") e moshav ("sentado" ) impureza, não sendo adequado para essas funções)] —Estas são as palavras de R. Dossa. E os sábios dizem: midras. [isto é, eles também são suscetíveis à impureza de mishkav, sendo também adequados para se deitarem].
Bartenura on Mishnah Eduyot

English Explanation of Mishnah Eduyot
All mats are [liable to become] impure by “corpse” impurity, the words of Rabbi Dosa. But the Sages say: “[Also by] “midras” impurity. Rabbi Dosa and the Sages disagree with regards to the susceptibility of mats to midras impurity. Midras impurity is a type of impurity which is received by a zav sitting or lying down on an object. Only things that are typically sat on or lied down upon can receive this type of impurity. According to Rabbi Dosa, mats can receive corpse impurity by coming into contact with a dead body, or a part thereof. However, since the mats under discussion are not used for sitting or for lying down, they cannot receive midras impurity. The Sages hold that they can, since they are occasionally used for such a purpose.

English Explanation of Mishnah Eduyot
All network is unsusceptible to impurity except a [network] girdle, the words of Rabbi Dosa. But the Sages say: “They are all liable to uncleanness, except those used by wool dealers [for carrying raw wool].” Network, things made of nets (not computer networks, which I suppose cannot receive impurity), are not considered by Rabbi Dosa to be clothing and therefore they cannot receive impurity. As we learned on several occasions, only things that are formed vessels or clothing can receive impurity. Since network is not really clothing, it cannot receive impurity. The only exception to this rule about things made of nets is a type of girdle which is a piece of clothing and therefore can be made impure. The Sages disagree. They hold that network is considered clothing. The only exception is a bag used by wool dealers to hold wool. Since this is definitely not clothing it cannot be made impure.

• We have now learned several disputes between Rabbi Dosa and the Sages. Do you seen any consistency to their opinions?
• Mishnah four: What modern items might be similar to the mats and network under discussion in this mishnah?
