טלייה על צידה (if he patched it on its side) – that he attached the patch on ethe walls of the vessel for heating water, not on its bottom, whether from the outside or whether from the inside, it is ritually pure. But the upshot/final result of the entire chapter and the reason that everything is ritually impure through treading or ritually impure through contact with a corpse or pure from everything that are mentioned here, is that it and everything thing that is fit for lying, or that will be made for lying for or sitting or for sitting or for leaning upon is ritually impure through treading. Excepting if it is an earthenware vessel that does not defile by treading, and this we derive from Scripture, as it is written (Leviticus 15:5): “Anyone who touches his bedding [shall wash his clothes, bathe in water, and remain impure until evening],” [The Rabbis] make an analogy between “his bedding” and himself, just as he has purity in a ritual bath/Mikveh, even his bedding has purification in a ritual bath, excluding an earthenware vessel which does not have purity in a ritual bath. But the mat of reeds/poor-man’s mattress which is made for lying, even though it doesn’t have ritual purity in a Mikveh, from what is written (Leviticus 11:32): “any such article that can be put to use shall be dipped in water,” but this is not a utensil/article, nevertheless it is impure through treading as we expand upon from Scripture as it is written (Leviticus 15:4): “Any bedding [on which the one with the discharge lies shall be impure],” [the word] “Any” includes the mat of reeds/poor-man’s mattress , but it ha no ritual purity/cleanliness until it is cut/severed and there remains from it less than six [handbreadths] by six [handbreadths]. But stone vessels and vessels of baked ordure and vessels of earth, are pure from everything. And similarly, everything that comes from the ocean is pure. And wooden vessels that hold the prescribed measurements, that contain forty Se’ah moist which are two Kor in dry, are also pure from everything, because they are not carried full. And similarly, anything which does not have the designation of a vessel, or that is the designation of a vessel but is not from things used by human beings, but are used by those who serve his users, is pure, such as the dresser in which olives are spread and the matting of winepresses and the sheet of frames, that we stated in our Mishnah that they are pure from everything, for they are not considered vessels that are attendant upon humans.
