## Chagigah Daf 19b

###### Chagigah 19b:1
[Chagigah 19b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chagigah/r/19b:1)

מֵאִיר הָיָה אוֹמֵר: מַטְבִּיל בָּעֶלְיוֹנָה, וַאֲנִי אוֹמֵר: בַּתַּחְתּוֹנָה וְלֹא בָּעֶלְיוֹנָה! אֲמַר לֵיהּ: אִי תַּנְיָא — תַּנְיָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rabbi **Meir would say:** One may **immerse in the upper one, and I say: In the lower one but not in the upper one.** This demonstrates that Rabbi Yehuda does not accept the principle of raising the partition. Rabbi Yoḥanan **said to him: If this** *baraita* **is taught, it is taught,** and I cannot take issue with it. Therefore, it is clear that the matter is held in dispute between *tanna’im* and that Rabbi Yehuda does not accept the principle of raising the partition.


###### Chagigah 19b:2
[Chagigah 19b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chagigah/r/19b:2)

הַטּוֹבֵל לַחוּלִּין וְהוּחְזַק לַחוּלִּין כּוּ׳. מַנִּי מַתְנִיתִין — רַבָּנַן הִיא, דְּשָׁנֵי לְהוּ בֵּין חוּלִּין לְמַעֲשֵׂר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ It is taught in the mishna: **One who immersed for** the purpose of eating **non-sacred** food with the intention of **assuming a presumptive status** of ritual purity **for non-sacred** food **it is prohibited for him** to eat **tithes.** The Gemara comments: **Whose** opinion is expressed in **the mishna? It is** that of **the Rabbis, who differentiate between non-sacred** produce **and tithes,** since they maintain the following: If one who is required by rabbinic law to immerse touches non-sacred food, it remains pure, but if he comes into contact with tithes they are rendered ritually impure.


###### Chagigah 19b:3
[Chagigah 19b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chagigah/r/19b:3)

אֵימָא סֵיפָא: בִּגְדֵי עַם הָאָרֶץ, מִדְרָס לִפְרוּשִׁין. בִּגְדֵי פְרוּשִׁין, מִדְרָס לְאוֹכְלֵי תְרוּמָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
However, in that case, **say the latter clause** of the mishna, which states that **the garments of an *am ha’aretz*,** who is not careful with regard to the *halakhot* of ritual purity, **are** considered to be rendered ritually impure by the impurity imparted by the **treading** of a *zav*, which is considered a primary source of ritual impurity, **for *perushin*,** individuals who are careful to eat even non-sacred food in a state of purity. **The garments of *perushin*,** although they are careful to remain ritually pure, are nevertheless considered to be rendered impure by the **treading** of a *zav* **for** priests who partake of ***teruma*.** Consequently, the latter clause differs from the opinion of the Rabbis in the earlier clause.


###### Chagigah 19b:4
[Chagigah 19b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chagigah/r/19b:4)

אֲתָאן לְרַבִּי מֵאִיר, דְּאָמַר: חוּלִּין וּמַעֲשֵׂר כַּהֲדָדֵי נִינְהוּ, רֵישָׁא רַבָּנַן וְסֵיפָא רַבִּי מֵאִיר?! אִין, רֵישָׁא רַבָּנַן וְסֵיפָא רַבִּי מֵאִיר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Therefore, **we have arrived at** the opinion of **Rabbi Meir, who said: Non-sacred** produce **and tithes are similar to one another,** as this clause of the mishna does not distinguish between those eating non-sacred food and those eating tithes. Is **the earlier clause** the opinion of **the Rabbis and the latter clause** the opinion of **Rabbi Meir?** The Gemara answers: **Yes;** although it is unusual, in this instance we must explain that **the earlier clause** was said by **the Rabbis and the latter clause** by **Rabbi Meir.**


###### Chagigah 19b:5
[Chagigah 19b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chagigah/r/19b:5)

רַב אַחָא בַּר אַדָּא מַתְנֵי לַהּ בְּסֵיפָא חָמֵשׁ מַעֲלוֹת, וּמוֹקֵי לַהּ כּוּלָּהּ כְּרַבָּנַן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
However, **Rav Aḥa bar Adda would teach** that **five levels** of ritual purity are listed **in the latter clause** of the mishna, by counting the clause that states that the clothes of those who eat non-sacred produce in a state of purity are ritually impure for tithes, **and** in this way **he establishes** the **entire** mishna **in accordance with** the opinion of **the Rabbis.**


###### Chagigah 19b:6
[Chagigah 19b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chagigah/r/19b:6)

אָמַר רַב מָרִי: שְׁמַע מִינַּהּ חוּלִּין שֶׁנַּעֲשׂוּ עַל טׇהֳרַת הַקּוֹדֶשׁ — כְּקוֹדֶשׁ דָּמוּ. מִמַּאי —

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ **Rav Mari said:** They **learn from** the mishna that **non-sacred** produce **that was prepared according to** the level of **ritual purity** required **for sacrificial** food, i.e., with the same stringencies as required for sacrificial food, is **like sacrificial** food. **From where** is this deduced?
