**כֹּל שֶׁשָּׁאֲבוּ.** הַפֵּרוֹת מִלַּחְלוּחִית הַמַּיִם, הֲרֵי זֶה בְּכִי יֻתַּן. דְּנִיחָא לֵיהּ שֶׁיִּשְׁאֲבוּ הַפֵּרוֹת מִן הַמַּיִם, שֶׁמִּתּוֹךְ כָּךְ הֵן נִרְאִין גַּסִּים וּנְפוּחִים:

כל ששאבו (all that absorbed) – the fruit from the moisture of the water, therefore, it is [under the law of] “when water is put on” (Leviticus 11:38), for it is satisfactory for him that the fruit absorbs from the water, and through this, they appear thick and swollen.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ושאר כל המשקין טהורים – the rest of the seven liquids (see Tractate Makhshirin, Chapter 6, Mishnah 4: milk, [olive] oil, honey, blood) that make something fit to become susceptible for receiving Levitical uncleanness, the fruits are ritually pure that are within the jar if they were moistened by them. For specifically water and wine and vinegar which are thin and clear, they are absorbed in the jar because of their thinness and the fruit absorbs [liquid] from them. But [olive]oil, honey, milk and blood and dew, are thick, and because of their thickness they are not able to be absorbed within the vessel so much until the fruit that is within the jar absorbs from them. Therefore, they are not [included] in “when water is put on” (Leviticus 11:38).

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
בשעת היחף (at the season of foot sores [of animals or of threshing]- that the animal is weary and tired from the trouble of the path. And similar at the time when it is threshing in the grain, the water that she brings up upon her feet always makes the seeds fit to receive ritual defilement because they are intentional, for the waters are good for her to cool her off and to make her cold. Another explanation: At the time of foot sores and the threshing, at the time of the harvest, he wants that the animal washes its feet in order that they will be clean to thresh the grain.
