**כָּל הַכֵּלִים יֵשׁ לָהֶם אֲחוֹרַיִם וָתוֹךְ.** כֵּלִים שֶׁנִּטְמְאוּ בְמַשְׁקִין טְמֵאִים, אִם נָגְעוּ הַמַּשְׁקִין מֵאֲחוֹרֵיהֶן שֶׁל כֵּלִים נִטְמְאוּ אֲחוֹרֵיהֶן וְלֹא נִטְמָא תוֹכָן, מִשּׁוּם דְּטֻמְאַת מַשְׁקִים לְטַמֵּא כֵלִים לָאו דְּאוֹרַיְתָא, הֵקֵלּוּ חֲכָמִים בְּטֻמְאָתָן. אֲבָל אִם נִטְמָא תוֹכָן, כְּגוֹן שֶׁנָּגְעוּ מַשְׁקִין טְמֵאִין בְּתוֹכָן, נִטְמְאוּ אֲחוֹרֵיהֶם. וְהַיְנוּ דִתְנַן יֵשׁ לָהֶן אֲחוֹרַיִם וָתוֹךְ, כְּלוֹמַר שֶׁחָלוּק דִּין אֲחוֹרֵיהֶם מִדִּין תּוֹכָן:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
כל הכלים יש להם אחוריים ותוך – vessels that were defiled through impure liquids, if the liquids came in contact from the vessel’s outsides, their outsides where defiled but not their insides, because the defilement of liquids to defile vessels is not from the Torah, the Sages were lenient in their defilement. But if their inside was defiled, as for example, that the impure liquids touched their insides, their outsides are also defied. And this is what is taught [in our Mishnah[“"יש להן אחוריים ותוך/“they have outsides and an inside,” meaning to say that the law of the outsides is separate from the law of the insides.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
כגון הכרים והכסתות – and even though that we use their insides and their outsides, and that it is fit to reverse them and to make their insides outsides and their outsides insides, nevertheless, the law of their outsides is separate from the law of their insides.

And at its one end, is a wide piece of sharpened iron to sever/cut the roots, and its name is חרחור/broad iron blade, and its other end is a piece of iron like an awl/borer, whose name is דרבן /spud/point, through which leads the heifer to its furrow/ridge.

משבעה לחרחור מארבעה לדרבן – if impure liquids fell upon the broad iron blade, it is not impure from the handle of the plough other than seven handbreadths, but if they fell on the spud/point, it is not impure other than four-handbreadths. But Maimonides explained/expounded, that if if impure liquids fell on the handle of the plough seven handbreadths outside from the broad iron blade or outside four handbreadths from the spuds, it is like a vessel whose outsides had been defiled, but its inside was not defiled, and those seven handbreadths that are next to the broad iron blade and the four [handbreadths] that are next to the spud were not defiled.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
אלא לשיריים – when the Sages gave measurements for the broad iron blade of seven [handbreadths] and for the spud four [handbreadths], it was not given other than regarding this matter that if the handle of the plough was broken and there remained next to/adjacent to the broad iron blade seven handbreadths, or adjacent to the spud four [handbreadths, it is impure, because it is appropriate to do some kind of its work. Less than this, it is like the shards of a vessel and is pure. But the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehuda.

ר' יהודה אומר אין להם – an outside and inside. The reasoning of Rabbi Yehuda, because that all of these vessels have on their outsides engraved a receptacle similar to what they do for a silver vessel, and sometimes, that they bend it on its opening and use the hollowed out area on the backside.

And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehuda.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
[שלות] קודמין היא (is this the class of those that takes precedence?) – each one of them, takes precedence over its partner, meaning to say, that none has precedence over the other. And just as you say that one-half of a quarter of its backsides to a quarter, so you should say that the quarter is backsides to one-half of quarter. And when the quarter is defiled, its backside of the one-half quarter is defiled but not its insides. But the reading of my teachers/Rabbis is that each group/band takes precedence, because the groups of the students would sit before him (i.e., the teacher) in rows, he asked to them this question already which was asked of me by the group of students that sits in the first row, and such is how I responded them, or perhaps [the quarter’s backside to the half-quarter], etc.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
הרובע ואחוריו טמאים – the quarter – that is the inside. And the backsides are the walls that surround the quarter from outside. But the wall that forms a partition between both of them, is included in the inside of the half-quarter, and it is pure to the side that is towards the one-half quarter. And similarly, when the one-half quarter is defiled, the half-quarter and its outsides are impure. The half-quarter is the insides, and the outsides are the walls that surround that half-quarter from the outside, but the wall that forms a partition, the side that is towards the quarter is included with the inside of the quarter.

And the law of the middle wall is explained above at the end of Chapter Two (Tractate Kelim, Chapter 2, Mishnah 7) for “Rabbi Yohanan ben Nuri says: They divide its thickness. The [half that] serves the unclean [portion] is unclean; the [half that] serves the clean [part] is clean.”

**וְאָזְנָיו וְיָדָיו טְהוֹרִין.** עֲבַדוּ רַבָּנָן בֵּיהּ הֶכֵּרָא, כִּי הֵיכִי דְלָא לִשְׂרֹף עֲלַיְהוּ תְרוּמָה וְקָדָשִׁים. וְדַוְקָא בַתְּרוּמָה עֲבַדוּ הֶכֵּרָא, אֲבָל לֹא בַקָּדָשִׁים, כְּדִתְנַן לְקַמָּן בְּפִרְקִין:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
ואזניו וידיו טהורין – The Rabbis made this for recognition, for just as/in order that it won’t burn upon them heave-offering [for the Kohanim] and Holy Things, especially, it was made as a recognition for Terumah/heave-offering, but not for Holy Things, as is taught in the Mishnah further on in our chapter (see Mishnah 9).

**בֵּית הַצְּבִיטָה.** גָּרְסִינַן. מָקוֹם שֶׁאוֹחֲזִין הַכְּלִי כְּשֶׁמּוֹשִׁיטִין אוֹתוֹ מִזֶּה לָזֶה. לְשׁוֹן וַיִּצְבֹּט לָהּ קָלִי (רות ב) שֶׁפֵּרוּשׁוֹ וַיּוֹשֶׁט. וְאִית דְּגָרְסֵי, בֵּית הַצְּבִיעָה, מָקוֹם שֶׁאוֹחֵז בּוֹ בְאֶצְבָּעוֹ:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
בית הצביטה (that part of the vessel by which it is seized, handle, neck, cavity for the fingers) – We have the reading [בית הצביטה ] )whereas the Mishnah has the reading of "בית הצביעה"). It is the place where we hold the vessel, when we move it to and fro. It is the language of (Ruth 2:14): “He (i.e., Boaz) handed her roasted grain, [and she ate her fill and had some left over],” whose meaning is that he handed to her. And there are those who have the reading "בית הצביעה", the place where one holds it with his finger.

**וְיֵשׁ לָהֶן בֵּית הַצְּבִיטָה.** שֶׁאִם נִטְמְאוּ אֲחוֹרָיו, בֵּית הַצְּבִיטָה טָהוֹר. וְאִם נִטְמָא בֵּית הַצְּבִיטָה, אֲחוֹרָיו טְהוֹרִין:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
ויש להן בית צביטה – if the backsides were defiled, the place of the handle is ritually pure. But if the handle became defiled, its backsides are ritually pure.

**לַעֲרֵבָה גְדוֹלָה שֶׁל עֵץ.** יֵשׁ לָהּ בֵּית צְבִיטָה. אֲבָל לִשְׁאָר כֵּלִים, לֹא. שֶׁבַּעֲרֵבָה גְדוֹלָה יֵשׁ הֶפְרֵשׁ בֵּין בֵּית הַצְּבִיטָה לָאֲחוֹרַיִם, שֶׁאִם יֵשׁ מַשְׁקִים בַּאֲחוֹרֵי הָעֲרֵבָה וְיָדָיו טְמֵאוֹת, אוֹחֵז בְּבֵית הַצְּבִיטָה וְאֵין חוֹשֵׁשׁ שֶׁמָּא יִגַּע בַּמַּשְׁקִין שֶׁבַּאֲחוֹרָיו וְיַחְזְרוּ וִיטַמְּאוּ אֶת הָעֲרֵבָה:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
לערבה גדולה של עץ [(the distinction in the outer parts applies] only in a large wooden trough) – it has a part of the vessel by which it is seized. But not with the rest of the vessels. That the large trough has a separation between the place where it is seized and its backsides, that if there are liquids on the backsides of the trough and his hands are impure, he holds on to the part of the vessel by which it is seized, and he doesn’t worry lest he come in contact with the liquids on its backside, and once again defile the trough.

ר' עקיבא אומר לכוסות – even for cups they have a place where he grabs hold of the vessel.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
לידים הטמאות והטהורות – there is a distinction between the place where one grabs hold of the vessel and its backsides, for impure hands, as has been explained. But for pure hands, it is as it explains further on how so (see the next Mishnah). But Rabbi Yossi holds that for pure hands alone we should not be concerned, but for impure hands, we should be concerned. And the Halakha is according to the first Tanna/teacher, as Rabbi Yossi explains.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
אין להם אחוריים ותוך – that a person who comes in contact with [a Holy Vessel] is like one who comes in contact with all of it. And they do have an outside and an inside as is taught in the Mishnah above (see Mishnah 7 of this chapter), and especially for heave-offering [for the Kohanim].

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
ואין מטבילין כלים לתוך כלים – when both of them are ritually impure, because of the heaviness of an interposing vessel. And they were worried/concerned about Holy Things more than with the heave-offering.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
יורדים לידי טומאתן במחשבה (see also Tractate Kelim, Chapter 12, Mishnah 1) as for example, the ring of an animal is not susceptible to receive ritual defilement, if he thought to place it on the finger of a person, it receives ritual defilement from here onwards by this thought. But, the ring of a person that he thought about to give it to an animal, it always is susceptible to receive ritual defilement, until he performs a change of action to change its form.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
ומחשבה אינה מבטלת לא מיד מעשה ולא מיד מחשבה – if after he thought about the ring of an animal to make it for a person that it is susceptible to receive ritual impurity though this thought, he retracted and thought about returning it to the animal, this second thought does not lift it from the status of defilement that it descended to in the first thought.
