**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
כלי עץ כלי עור כלי עצם – in the Torah portion of n , it is written (Numbers 31:20): “You shall also purify every cloth, every article of skin, everything made of goats’ hair and every object of wood,” and we extend the scope from, “everything made of goats’ hair”/וכל מעשה עזים to include anything that comes from the goats – from the horns and from the hoofs, that is the vessels of bone and it is juxtaposed to vessels of leather and vessels of wood. And in the Torah portion of Shemini, there is juxtaposition of vessels of leather and vessels of wood to a sack (see Leviticus 11:32: “[And anything on which one of them falls when dead shall be impure:] be it any article of wood, or a cloth, or a skin, or a sack [-any such article that can be put to use shall be dipped in water, and it shall remain impure until evening; then it shall be pure].” Therefore, their flat vessels are pure, that we require something similar to a sack that is carried full and/or empty. But an earthenware vessel, even though when flat are pure, it cannot be taught together with these, because all of these are pure when they don’t have a receptacle even though they have an inside, as for example, a wood jug which does not a rim at the bottom and is perforated from side to side is pure, but an earthenware vessel in the same manner is impure because the All-Merciful made it dependent upon its inside and behold it has an inside even though it does not have a receptacle. But their flat surfaces are pure as it is taught in the Mishnah here, that is, according to the Torah, but the Sages decreed impurity upon all flat wooden vessels and leather and bone as is proven in the Gemara of Bava Batra [66a]. But according to the Torah also, they are not pure other than from defilement through contact with a corpse or defilement by a reptile, but they are defiled through the defilement of lying and sitting if they are appropriate for lying and sitting.

**וּכְלֵי זְכוּכִית.** רַבָּנָן גָּזְרוּ עֲלֵיהֶן טֻמְאָה, הוֹאִיל וּתְחִלַּת בְּרִיָּתָן מִן הַחוֹל הָווּ כִכְלֵי חֶרֶס, וַחֲמִירֵי מִכְּלִי חֶרֶס שֶׁאֵינוֹ מְקַבֵּל טֻמְאָה מִגַּבּוֹ, וּכְלֵי זְכוּכִית מִטַּמְּאִין מִגַּבָּן הוֹאִיל וְנִרְאֶה תוֹכָן כְּבָרָן. וּפְשׁוּטֵיהֶן שֶׁל כְּלֵי זְכוּכִית טְהוֹרִים אֲפִלּוּ מִדְּרַבָּנָן, דַּעֲבָדוּ רַבָּנָן הֶכֵּרָא כִּי הֵיכִי דְלָא לִשְׂרֹף עֲלַיְהוּ תְּרוּמָה וְקָדָשִׁים:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
וכלי זכוכית – the Rabbis decreed defilement upon them (i.e., glass utensils) since the beginning of their creation/formation is from the sand then they are earthenware vessels, and they are [more] stringent than earthenware utensils that are not susceptible to receive defilement from what is upon it, but glass utensils/vessels are defiled from what is upon them, since their inside appears like their outside. But the flat surfaces of glass vessels are pure, even according to the Rabbis, for the Rabbis made a distinction (a somewhat different law) regarding glassware (see Tractate Shabbat 16a) for just as they don’t burn upon them heave offering and Holy Things.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
מקבלין טומאה מכאן ולהבא – but they don’t return to their old defilement, for the Rabbis did not decree that if he made from them [new] vessels they return to their old defilement, but rather only a metal utensils/vessel.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
מיטמאין ומטמאין באויר (they are both unclean and convey uncleanness through their contained airspace) – it the defilement is suspended in the airspace of the vessel, the vessel is unclean. If he went back and suspended food in their airspace, he defiles the food, even though they did not touch, as it is written (Leviticus 11:33): “[And if any of those falls into an earthen vessel,] everything inside it shall be pure [and – the vessel – itself you shall break].” And even the size of a mustard seed that does not touch the walls of the vessel.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
ומיטמאין מאחוריהן (they impart uncleanness from their outer sides) – vessels that hollowed out/shaped a receptacle from their place of sitting in the manner that they make for silver cups, and sometimes they turn them upside down on their mouths and use their receptacles from their outer side. If it came in contact with defilement with that receptacle, the earthenware utensil is defiled. But if they did not mix them and repeat it they are defiled and defile from their airspace an from their outer sides, we learn from it that they are defiled from the airspace from the outer side, for we don’t consider the inside that is on the outer side as a complete inside of the Torah, to be defiled from its airspace, but it is defiled if it the defilement came in contact with the same hollowing out that is on its outer side.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
ואין מיטמאין מגביהן – as it is written (Leviticus 11:33): “Any if any of those falls into an earthen vessel (i.e., an article of wood, a cloth, a skin, or a sack), [everything inside it shall be impure and – the vessel- itself you shall break],” from inside it becomes defiles but it does become defiled from outside it. But all of the other vessels excluding an earthenware vessel and a vessel of alum crystal are not defiled from their airspace until the defilement touches/comes in contact with the essence of the vessel, but when the defilement touches the essence of the vessel, whether from the outside or from the inside, it is impure, as is taught in the Mishnah in the first chapter of [Tractate] Hullin (Chapter 1, Mishnah 6): “What is clean (insusceptible to uncleanness[ in the case of earthenware vessels is unclean [susceptible in the case of all [other] vessels. What is clean in the case of all [other utensils] is unclean in the case of the earthenware utensils.”

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
ושבירתן היא טהרתן = all of vessels/utensils, breaking them is their purification, but earthenware vessels and vessels of alum crystal breaking them alone purifies them, but they have no purification through ritual immersion other than through breaking [them] alone.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
הדקין שבכלי חרס – thin and small earthenware vessels, whether they themselves cannot support/hold other than only up the anointing of a small [finger of a child] or whether they were broken and their rimmed bottom remained, an explanation: like their rimmed bottoms of a vessel, that is the rim that is towards the ground, or their walls/sides which remained and alone are able to sit without supports, are still vessels. And if they hold enough oil to anoint a small thing, that is to say, the anointing of a small finger of a day-old baby, they are impure. And this is explained in the Tractate Shabbat [77b] (and also Tractate Eduyot, Chapter 4, Mishnah 6 – as explained by Tosefot Yom Tov), the anointing of a minor, one small limb of a minor of the age of one-day old.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
עד לוג – this measurement of the anointing of a minor, for the shards of a vessel that had not been from its outset other than a LOG (i.e., a LOG is the equivalent of the liquid displaced by six eggs). But if there was from the outset more than a LOG, we need a larger measure for the shards, more than in order to anoint [the small limb of] a minor [who is one day-old].

מלוג ועד סאה – a vessel that would at its outset hold from a LOG and more than a LOG until a SESAH, the measure of its shards is one-quarter of a LOG. And for more than a SEAH until two SEAH, the measurement of its shards is one-half a LOG and similarly for all of them.

But now we hold that the defilement of the outside does not take effect other than with an earthenware vessel that has an inside. But all that lacks an inside, there is no defilement of the outside, שsand if impure liquids came in contact with it from the outside, they did not defile the outside of the vessel.

ושהוא גומר בה – and the stopper that he places upon the vessel after its form has been completed has an “inside,” and therefore, it is impure. But my Rabbis/teachers explained, that that there is a vessel/utensil for potters that is called a מגופה/stopper or bung and some of them have narrow openings and some have wide openings; that which he opens it by, meaning to say, that he will eventually widen its opening, is pure, that its work has not yet been completed, and it is like the lump/shapeless earthenware vessel. But when he completes it, that he places as such at the narrow opening, it is impure. But our Mishnah is according to Rabbi Meir who stated (Tractate Betza 32a and Tosefta Kelim Bava Kamma, Chapter 3, Halakha 13) : When do earthenware vessels become susceptible to receiving impurity? From the time when their manufacture is complete.” But not according to the Rabbis who state (Tractate Kelim, Chapter 4, Mishnah 4): “from when they are fired in the furnace.” And the first explanation appears to me to be essential.

שנמצאת בכבשן – and we don’t know if it was broken prior to its being baked in the kiln/furnace and at the time when its manufacture was complete it did not have the status of a utensil/vessel upon it and not further on, it does defile because it is a defective vessel, or afterwards it was broken and defiles. But how do we verify the matter? We see if its shards are equivalent and its inside grows red, it is known that its manufacture was completed [first] and afterwards it became broken, and it defiles, for it was made to be a receptacle, for it is the manner to place a defective vessel underneath the jug/arched, pouched vessel to receive the liquid that drips from it.

And especially when it was defiled with liquids, its fellow is not defiled, for when a vessel that its outsides/backsides were defiled by liquids, its inside is not defiled, therefore when one of them with liquids, there is a wall/side of impurity on its backside of its neighbor but its neighbor is not defiled. But with the regarding the defilement of a creeping thing/unclean reptile according to the Torah, wherever it came in contact with/touched the vessel whether from its backside or whether from its inside, all of it is defiled, if one of them is defiled, its neighbor/fellow is defiled, for the defilement touches it from its outside/backside. But an earthenware vessel is not susceptible to receive defilement from its outside, but only from its inside, even with the defilement of a creeping thing/unclean reptile, if one of them was defiled, its neighbor is not defiled, for the inside of this one becomes the backside/outside of its neighbor for earthenware vessels are not defiled from its outside but not regarding the defilement of liquids that all of it is defiled.

But most of the vessels that they drink water from in the Islamic countries are made like this, and surrounding that net-work/mat protrudes teeth like the teeth of a comb, that they make them for beauty. And if an unclean creature/reptile was suspended in the airspace of those teeth, Rabbi Yossi and the Sages dispute if it is considered the inside of an earthenware vessel or not. But the Halakha is according to the Sages that they consider it as an inside [of the vessel] and that it defiles.
