הקלתות של בעלי בתים (the fire-place under a portable stove of householders) – a stand that is made for a portable stove with caves for two pots and the place of its sitting, which is called a קלת/fire-place.

שנפחתה (that was diminished) – its bottom. And the depth of the cavity was less than three handbreadths, the portable stove with caves for two pots/כירה receives defilement, for if he would heat with less from the bottom, the pot that is on the portable stove with caves for two pots would boil from above.

יתר מכאן – if the cavity was deeper than three handbreadths.

טהורה – for the fire is further from the pot that is on the portable stove with caves for two pots and does not boil.

נתן אבן או צרור – on the place of the cavity in order that the depth of the cavity would not be three handbreadths, it is pure, because it is not considered from the bottom of the portable stove with caves for two pots.

מרחה (if he plastered it) – to this stone with clay/plaster.

מקבלת טומאה – the portable stove with caves for two pots [is susceptible to receive defilement] from now on. For this stone is considered as from the bottom of the portable stove with caves for two pots, hence the depth of the cavity is not three handbreadths.

וזו היא תשובת רבי יהודה – when Rabbi Yehuda and the Sages disputed above in the Chapter “The Oven” (Chapter 5, Mishnah 6) that its beginning is four handbreadths.

בתנור שנתנו על פי הבור ועל פי הדות – from here, Rabbi Yehuda brought proof for his words. For just as that we require here that he heats from below and the pot cooks from above, so also we require it there (see Tractate Kelim, Chapter 5, Mishnah 6).

דכון (elevated spot in the kitchen for vessels/a stand fixed to the stove or portable oven) – it is the language of a place/stand, like “in a certain place/בדוך פלן” [Berakhot 18b]. And this is a place that projects/protrudes from the portable oven with caves for two pots/כירה, that when they remove the pot from the portable oven with caves for two pots, they set it down on this projection/protrusion but sometimes it has a receptacle for two or three pots.

טהור משום כירה – that if the portable oven with caves for two pots became [ritually] impure, it (i.e., the pot) did not become impure [on account of the portable oven]; alternatively, it does not defile what is attached like a portable oven with caves for two pots.

הצדדים שלו – the walls of the stand fixed to the stove or portable oven that are not part of the portable oven.

הרחב שלו (its wide side) – this is the wall of the portable stove with caves for two pots itself to the side of the receptacle of the stand fixed to the stove/portable oven. But because the stand fixed to the stove/portable oven continually widens to the side of the portable oven, it is called רחב/its wide side.

רבי מאיר מטהר – for it is not considered like the portable oven with caves for two pots (see Tractate Kelim, Chapter 6, Mishnah 3).

ורבי יהודה מטמא – that it is considered like the portable oven with caves for two pots. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehuda.

וכן הכופה את הסל – and built the portable stove with caves for two pots on its back/on top of it (i.e., the basket), and it protrudes beyond the portable stove. But the basket is what defiles because it is a wooden utensil, but when he built upon it the portable stove and the width of the basket protrudes beyond the walls of the portable stove and they place the pots on that protrusion, the law is like the stand fixed to the stove/portable oven.

כירה שנחלקה לארכה טהורה – a portable stove with caves for two pots that opened for two pots. But when it is divided lengthwise, the two placings on/over the fire were eliminated, but if it was divided widthwise, the two placings over the fire remain, this one alone and that one alone.

כופח – a place where there is an opening for one pot. But whether it is cracked lengthwise or whether it is cracked widthwise, all of the place where the pot is placed on/over the fire is eliminated.

חצר הכירה – like a kind of large, earthenware pan [without a lid] and the portable oven with caves for two pots sits in the middle attached to the courtyard.

שלש אצבעות – that the walls of the courtyard are three fingers high. For just as the measure of the portable stove with caves for two pots, is three fingers at the outset, as is it is taught above in the Mishnah (Tractate Kelim, Chapter 5, Mishnah 2) in the Chapter “The Oven.” So as well is the measurement of the courtyard of the double stove, its height is not less than three fingers, but less than three [fingers], its airspace is not considered important. However, according to the Rabbis it defiles through contact. Alternatively, because there is something like a handle for the double stove, and the handle has contact, but not airspace.

כיצד משערין אותה – because a portable stove with caves for two pots is a great deal higher than the courtyard and we must measure what is considered the airspace of the courtyard.

נותן את השפוד – one end on the lowest wall of the courtyard and the other end on the highest wall of the double stove, and everything that is below from the spit, if one suspended there an unclean reptile, even though it is a above from the walls of the courtyard as if it is suspended below, for all of this is considered the airspace of the courtyard.

לא נטמאת הכירה – for the court [of the stove] is subsidiary to the portable stove with caves for two pots, but the portable double stove is not subsidiary to the court [of the stove]. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov.

היתה מופרשת – that the artisan did not build from the outset the court/fender[of the stove] and the portable stove with caves for two pots being attached together, but rather, the one is on its own and the other is on its own.

חלקה (smooth) – without a receptacle at all. It is taught this, but you don’t have to mention that.

פטפוטי כירה (clay pins forming a sort of tripod for the double stove) – the feet of the portable stove with caves for two pots, which are three feet, and they are three fingers high, and they are considered like the double stove, and become susceptible to [ritual] defilement through contact and through airspace like the double stove itself. And all the more so if they are less than three fingers, they are judged like the portable stove with caves for two pots/כירה.

ואפילו הן ארבעה – [four] feet. They are judged lie the portable stove with caves for two pots.

נטל אחד מהן – there were three [legs/props] and one of them was taken from them, they still appear partially able to place the cooking vessel over or by the fire and it is considered as chipped off/torn down and [also] not as chipped off/torn down. Therefore, it becomes susceptible to being defiled through contact does it does not become defiled through airspace.

ורבי שמעון מטהר – for Rabbi Shimon would state that all of the pins forming a sort of tripod for the support of a portable stove with caves for two pots that are not susceptible to being defiled through airspace are not made unclean through contact. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.

עשה שנים – the artisan from the outset made the portable stove with caves for two stoves with two legs/pins.

מיטמאים במגע ובאויר – that they are like two stones that were made into a portable stove with caves for two pots, as it is taught in the Mishnah above (see Tractate Kelim, Chapter 6, Mishnah 1), that it is impure.

היו גבוהים – the legs/pins.

ור' שמעון מטהר – that surplus above the three fingers and above, whether through contact or – thorough airspace. For every leg/pin that is above three fingers [in height] is not considered like a portable stove with caves for two pots.

היו משוכים מן שפה (if they were withdrawn from the lip/rim) – like projections made in the body of the portable stove with caves for two pots. And from those projections, their legs/pins are stretched/conducted which are the feet of the portable stove with caves for two pots, and no, the legs/pins are found outside from the rim, but what there is of them that are within three [fingers] of the rim are considered like the portable stove with caves for two pots itself and become defiled through contact and through airspaces, but what there is of them outside of/beyond the three [fingers] is what Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Shimon dispute. And in all of them, the Halakha is according to Rabbi Meir.

כיצד משערין אותם – because the legs/pins are far from each other, and when an unclean reptile is found between them, we are not able to know if it is within the three [fingers] to the rim/lip and impure, or beyond the three [fingers] to the rim and pure for airspace for Rabbi Meir and for Rabbi Shimon, whether for contact and/or for airspace, therefore, one measures to this leg/pin three fingers from the rim/lip and similarly to the second and placer the cubit and draw [tracing] lines of the boundaries between them from one to the other, and this is called a כנה/putting a ruler between, measuring a straight line (or putting the base of the stone between them) and he draws lines, and from the tracing lines and inward is impure, that is, the place of the straight/ruled line, and from the tracing lines and outward is pure.
