מסכת כלים פרק כז משנה ד |
|
המקצע מכלם |
One who trims from any of these (the materials of the previous mishnah) |
טפח על טפח |
(a piece that measures) a handbreadth by a handbreadth |
טמא |
it is tamei (this case is where the one square handbreadth piece was specifically cut to be used to sit on, such as a patch for a saddle; this is in contrast to the larger minimum measures of the previous mishnah, which applies to items that had been designated for use as a seat, but not manufactured specifically for that purpose). |
משולי הקפה |
(If one cut a piece for use in a seat) from the bottom of a basket (made of matting) |
טפח על טפח |
(a piece that measures) a handbreadth by a handbreadth, |
טמא |
it is tamei; |
מצדדי הקפה |
from the sides of the basket, |
רבי שמעון מטהר |
Rabbi Shimon ruled it is tahor (due to the curve of the basket walls, he holds such a piece unsuitable for use as a seat), |
וחכמים אומרים |
and the Sages say |
המקצע טפח על טפח |
one who cuts (a piece that measures) a handbreadth by a handbreadth |
מכל מקום טמא |
from any place, it is tamei. |
פרק כז משנה ה |
|
בלויי נפה וכברה |
A worn out sifter (with a screen made of hide or animal hair) or sieve (with a screen made from leather or plant material having the status of wood) |
שהתקינן לישיבה |
that was prepared for sitting (the screens of both of these utensils were mounted on a frame; some say it is the frame that wore out, other that it was the screen), |
רבי עקיבה מטמא |
Rabbi Akiva rules is tamei (as no modification was necessary for them to become suitable for sitting), |
וחכמים מטהרין |
and the Sages rule is tahor |
עד שיקצע |
until he trims it (as they hold intent is not sufficient, and that a physical modification was necessary). |
כסא של קטן |
The chair of a child |
שיש לו רגלים |
that has legs, |
אף על פי |
even though |
שאין בו גבה טפח |
it lack a handbreadth's height (the minimum required for an adult's chair), |
טמא |
is tamei. |
חלוק של קטן |
The shirt of a child, |
רבי אליעזר אומר |
Rabbi Eliezer says |
כל שהוא |
any size (is susceptible to tumah), |
וחכמים אומרים |
and the Sages say |
עד שיהיה בו כשעור |
(not) until it has the minimum measure, |
ונמדד כפול |
and it is measured doubled (that is, both the front and the back of the shirt must each separately have the minimum amount). |
