כל ידות האוכלים (all [stalks serving as] handles for produce) – the stalks that the food is hung/suspended on them, when they want to suspend them, and a person holds it when he wants to eat the fruit/produce.

שהם חיבור באב הטומאה (and it is deemed connected by a primary source of ritual uncleanness) – that if the primary source of ritual uncleanness/defilement touched the fruit/produce itself.

חיבור בטבול יום – if it is a handle for produce of priest’s due/heave-offering and the person who had immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom touched that handle, all of the produce/fruit of heave-offering is invalidated.

שנפרס (that is broken off/divided) – the language of a piece/half. But there are those who have the reading שנפרם/that it is torn open/exposed. It is the language of (Leviticus 21;10): “or rend his vestments.”

מעורה (intertwined/interwoven) – attached [somewhat].

אם אוחז בגדול – the large piece, and the small piece goes up with it and is not broken off from everything.

הרי הוא כמוהו – and if a person who had immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom touched one of them and the second [piece] is invalidated.

ר' נחמיה אומר בטהור – meaning to say, in that which the person who had immersed himself that day did not touch we estimate/measure, whether it is large or whether it is small. If he grabs hold of it, and the impure part is with him, both of them are impure.

וחכמים אומרים בטמא – we estimate/measure, if he grabs hold of the impure piece and the ritually pure piece goes up with it. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.

ושאר כל האוכלים – as for example kinds/species of vegetables.

את שדרכו לאחוז – when he comes to carry it, he holds it by its leaf, but if the green/vegetable breaks and falls when he holds it by the leaf, it is a connection/junction, but if not, it is not a connection, whether if the Tevul Yom/person who had immersed himself that day had touched the leaf or whether he touch the green/vegetable itself.

ירק של תרומה שנתנו בקערה או באלפס וביצה טרופה (a vegetable of heave-offering that was placed in a bowl or in a tightly covered pot

and a beaten egg) – in a dish, that the white of the egg and the yolk/yellow of the egg were mixed together and placed on top of the vegetable.

ונגע טבול יום בביצה – even though it is not consecrated. For heave-offering does not belong in an egg, and a person who had immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom does not invalidate something that is not consecrated. Nevertheless, there is a connection/junction, and the vegetable is invalidated as if he had touched it. But however, he did not invalidate ought other than the stalk/stem that is corresponding to/over against the touch of his hand. But all of the rest of the stalks/stems are ritually pure.

כל הסדר העליון (all the entire upper row) – the upper stems/stalks that the egg is upon them. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yossi.

ואם היה כמין כובע – that on account of the cooking, the egg became swollen and became like the hat of a vegetable and it is hollow underneath it.

לפס – like a tightly covered pot, like a kind of a pan that they make a cooked dish in. And this egg is cooked with the heave-offering that is invalidated by a person who had immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom.

מן השפה – [from the rim] of tightly covered pot and inward, the streak of the egg is considered as a connection, and if the person who had immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom had touched there, everything is ritually defiled. But if the streak [of the egg] that goes from the rim of the tightly covered pot and outward, it is not concerned to be a connection.

וכל שנקלף עמו – that is what goes up with the streak, it is a connection and not more. Rabbi Yossi is [judged as] lenient and such is proven in the Tosefta (see Tractate Tevul Yom, Chapter 2, Halakha 10). But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yossi.

וכן בקטניות – its law is like that of the egg.

אינה נפסלת בטבול יום – we follow after the started dough and not after the leavened dough, even though it is prohibited to non-priests (i.e., literally, “foreigners”).

שהוכשרה במשקה – that placed the wheat in water.

ונילושה במי פירות – but fruit juice does not make susceptible [to ritual uncleanness] and the started dough that was kneaded in them , if it was not made susceptible [to ritual uncleanness] from the outset, it doesn’t receive ritual defilement.

פסל את כולה – for fruit juice makes the started dough a connection.

לא פסל אלא מקום מגעו – for Rabbi Akiva holds that since fruit juice does not make susceptible to ritual uncleanness and doesn’t bring it to a state of defilement, we see them as if they are not, and he did not defile anything other than the place of its contact. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Akiva.

פסל את כולו – that he (Rabbi Eleazar ben Yehuda of Bartetota in the name of Rabbi Yehoshua) holds that oil makes susceptible for ritual defilement and connects.

לא פסל אלא מקום מגעו – the oil does not make connection, but it refers to each and every stalk on its own.

שנגס (break off, bite off - who took a bite of some food, and something mixed with his saliva fell on his garments) – he turned the food over in his mouth (i.e., chewing). It is the language of stirring the pot.

ונפל – the food [fell] with the moistness of the spittle that is upon it on his clothing and on the loaf of [bread of] heave-offering.

טהור – the loaf, meaning to say it is not susceptible to receive ritual defilement. And even though mere spittle makes it susceptible. It is different here, for he did not consider to spit and it isn’t on purpose/intentional, for it fell upon his garments and it is obvious that it was not satisfactory to him.

כל שהוא רוצה למוץ את גרעינתו (anything on the pit of which he wishes to suck) - if he intended to suck the moisture that is on the pit and the pit/seed fell with the spittle that is upon it on the loaf of heave-offering, the loaf is made susceptible [to receive ritual uncleanness] with the spittle that is on the pit, and that is what he intended.

זיתים נגובים ומרים יבשות כל שאינו רוצה למוץ גרעינתו – he did not have an inappropriate intention regarding this liquid and it is not susceptible [to receive ritual defilement].

אחד טהור ואחד טבול יום באלו – meaning to say that both of them are equivalent in this law.

טמאים בטבול יום – as he explains the reasoning, that liquids of an impure person make it susceptible and defile even unintentionally/not on purpose, and a person who had immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom is like an impure person with regard to this law. But the Rabbis consider the person who had immersed himself that day as ritually pure. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.
