קבע הכסא בקורת בית הבד (if he affixed the chair onto a beam in the olive press) – that gathers/stores away the il from the olives, the chair is ritually impure through treading, but the beam is not attached and is a pure. But if from the wood of the beam itself the chair is made at one end, even the chair is pure, for we say to him: “Stand and let us do our work.” And it is taught in a Baraitha in Torat Kohanim [i.e., the Sifra, the Halakhic Midrash on the Book of Leviticus): “[Any bedding on which the one with the discharge lies shall be unclean, and every object] on which he sits shall be unclean” (Leviticus 15:4) – “it includes even one who sat on a stone or on the beam, the inference teaches us, a vessel, but not a stone nor a beam, and I will not exclude the vessels of stone, the vessels of excrement or vessels of earth, the inference teaches us the vessel, the vessel that is designated to receive impurity, but these vessels do not receive defilement ever (see Sifra Metzora, Parshat Zahav, portion 4, beginning of the seventh chapter, letter 10). I lack all other than a chair or a bench or a chair with a back/soft seat that is designated for sitting , from where is the chest of the bath attendant, a chest that opened from its side, a trough from two LOG until nine Kab that was chipped, he is unable to wash his foot in it, the inference teaches us, “and all the vessel,” which is an extension. It is possible even if he covered a Seah and sat upon it, a field requiring three Kab of seed and he sat upon it, the inference teaches us, “on which he sits” (Leviticus 15:4), that which is designated for sitting, we don’t say to him: “Stand up, and let us do our work” (see Talmud Shabbat 59a).

But the School of Hillel states: “when he ties it up” and it doesn’t require tearing. But rather, one he ties on it the loops/couplings in order to suspend them upon them.

**מַעֲדַנִּים.** קְשָׁרִים. כְּמוֹ וַיֵּלֵךְ אֵלָיו אֲגָג מַעֲדַנּוֹת (שמואל א טו), כְּלוֹמַר, קָשׁוּר כְּדֶרֶךְ שֶׁקּוֹשְׁרִים הָאֲסוּרִים. וְכֵן הַתְקַשֵּׁר מַעֲדַנּוֹת כִּימָה (איוב לח):

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
Reed matting, ties, like (I Samuel 15:32): “Agag approached him (i.e., Samuel) with faltering steps,” meaning to say, it is tied in the manner that forbidden things are tied, and similarly (Job 38:31): “Cast you tie cords to Pleiades.”

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
שהם של ששה טפחים – two handbreadths between each reed matting, and a handbreadth from here and a handbreadth from there.

**מִשֶּׁתִּקָּנֵּב.** מִשֶּׁיַּחְתֹּךְ וְיִקְטֹם רָאשֵׁי קְרוּמִים הַבּוֹלְטִים. וְזוֹ הִיא קְנִיבָה:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
משתקנב (when it will have been trimmed) – that he will sever/cut and lop off the heads of the protruding membrane, and this is cutting/trimming.
