A vessel of earthenware can, according to the opinion of Beth Hillel, protect everything [in it from impurity] but Beth Shammai say: it protects only eatables and liquids and [other] vessels of earthenware. Beth Hillel said to them: why? Beth Shammai said to them: because it is [itself] impure with respect to an Am-ha-aretz, and no impure vessel can screen [against impurity]. Beth Hillel said to them: and did you not pronounce pure the eatables and liquids inside it? Beth Shammai said to them: when we pronounced pure the eatables and liquids inside it, we pronounced them pure for him only, but when you pronounced the vessel pure you pronounced it pure for yourself and for him. Then Beth Hillel turned and taught according to the opinion of Beth Shammai. |

R. Hanina, chief of the priests, testified concerning four matters: through all their days the priests never shrank from burning flesh which had been defiled by an `offspring` of defilement with flesh which had been defiled by a `father` of defilement, although they were [thereby] increasing its defilement by a [higher] defilement. R. Akiba added: through all their days the priests never shrank from lighting oil which had been rendered unfit by a tebul Yom in a lamp defiled by one who was defiled by a corpse, although they were [thereby] increasing its defilement by a [higher] defilement. |
