Keilim 29:6 - 29:7

של צמרים – those who sell wool, and he reason for these is there measurements of two handbreadths, because he grabs hold of them with two hands, and that is also the reason that all of these handles that are coming up, their measurement is with two handbreadths. And all of those whose measurement was a handbreadth, is because it was his manner to grab hold of them with [only] one hand.

מקור (beak, a tool for whetting millstones) – a sharp mallet/smith’s hammer that they bore/chisel the millstone. And on account of the fact that they bore/chisel with it, it is called a מקור.

יד המעצד של לגיונות (the handle of the adze of the legions) – we have the reading. And it is a vessel from the vessels of the murderers, its head is round and warriors carry them in war. And in Arabic, we call it TAVRIZIN.

של זהבים – they strike on gold to make thin plated objects (i.e., the goldsmith’s hammer)

ושל חרשים – of iron.

שיירי הדרבן מלמעלן (the remnants [of the shaft] about the point of the ox goad) – the handle of the plough (called in the Bible a דרבן and/or a מלמד) at one end it has iron similar to an awl/borer that with it leads/teaches the heifer to its furrow, and it called a דרבן/ox goad, and on its second end is a wide piece of sharpened iron to sever the roots, and its name is חרחור/coulter [inserted into the horizontal pole/מרדע in front of the ploughshare/דרבן). And the measurement of the handle of the horizontal pole/מרדע is higher on the side of the דרבן/ox goad four handbreadths and it is considered as a connector, but below, to the side of the coulter/חרחור is seven handbreadths which are adjacent to it is a connector, as we see further on. And what is more than the four [handbreadths] to the side of the ploughshare and seven [handbreadths] to the side of the coulter is not a connector and if impurity/defilement came in contact there, it is not defiled, neither the coulter nor the ox goad.

של סתתין (stone-cutter’s ax) – hewing stones and those who trim them level them off.
