Tosefta sobre Yadaim 4:6

אוֹמְרִים צְדוֹקִים, קוֹבְלִין אָנוּ עֲלֵיכֶם, פְּרוּשִׁים, שֶׁאַתֶּם אוֹמְרִים, כִּתְבֵי הַקֹּדֶשׁ מְטַמְּאִין אֶת הַיָּדַיִם, וְסִפְרֵי הוֹמֵרִיס אֵינוֹ מְטַמֵּא אֶת הַיָּדַיִם. אָמַר רַבָּן יוֹחָנָן בֶּן זַכַּאי, וְכִי אֵין לָנוּ עַל הַפְּרוּשִׁים אֶלָּא זוֹ בִלְבָד. הֲרֵי הֵם אוֹמְרִים, עַצְמוֹת חֲמוֹר טְהוֹרִים וְעַצְמוֹת יוֹחָנָן כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל טְמֵאִים. אָמְרוּ לוֹ, לְפִי חִבָּתָן הִיא טֻמְאָתָן, שֶׁלֹּא יַעֲשֶׂה אָדָם עַצְמוֹת אָבִיו וְאִמּוֹ תַּרְוָדוֹת. אָמַר לָהֶם, אַף כִּתְבֵי הַקֹּדֶשׁ לְפִי חִבָּתָן הִיא טֻמְאָתָן, וְסִפְרֵי הוֹמֵרִיס, שֶׁאֵינָן חֲבִיבִין, אֵינָן מְטַמְּאִין אֶת הַיָּדָיִם:

Os saduceus dizem: Nós os denunciamos, fariseus! Pois você diz que as sagradas Escrituras tornam as mãos impuras, mas os livros de Homero [literalmente: Hameiras, ie livros seculares] não tornam as mãos impuras. Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai disse: "E é só isso que devemos objetar sobre os fariseus? Pois eles também dizem que os ossos de um burro são puros, mas os ossos de Yochanan, o sumo sacerdote, são impuros". Eles [os saduceus] disseram-lhe: "De acordo com o amor deles, está a impureza deles, de modo que não se transformam os ossos do pai ou da mãe em colheres". Ele lhes disse: "O mesmo acontece com as Escrituras sagradas; de acordo com o amor delas é a impureza; e os livros de Homero, que não são amados, não tornam as mãos impuras".

Tosefta Yadayim

Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai said to them, they had to (חיבתם) deem holy writings as being capable of imparting impurity, for otherwise [the people] would use them as floor-coverings for their livestock. (See Yad. 4:6.) The Boethusians said, "We complain against you, Pharisees. Just as the [inheritance rights of the] daughter of my son are derived from the rights of my son which are derived from his rights, behold, [with respect to] the inheritance of my daughter which are derived from my own rights, is it not logical that she should inherit me?" He said to them, "No. If you say that with respect to the daughter of the son, that she shares [the inheritance] with her brothers, what would you say regarding a daughter who does not share [the inheritance] with her brothers?" *Says the one who immerses himself in the morning, "I complain against you, Pharisees, that you mention the name [of God] without [first] immersing yourselves. Say the Pharisees, "I complain against you who immerse in the morning, for you mention the name [of God] from a body that is impure." (*Note: This translation follows the GR"A.)
