Keilim 11:7 - 11:8

קרן עגולה וקרן פשוטה (a round metal horn and a plain, straight horn) – a trumpet from the horns of cattle that are made attached section by section, but rather that one of them is made round and the other is [made] straight. But the connection of the sections of the round metal horns is hard and requires an artisan more than the connection of the sections of the plain, straight horn, and because of this, they (i.e., the Sages) said that a person who returns a round metal horn on the Sabbath is liable for sin-offering, which is not the case with a plain, straight horn.

קרן עגולה טמאה – that it has a receptacle. But the plain, straight horn is ritually pure, for it lacks a receptacle. And the horns have the law of the boney utensils, for their flat, level surfaces are ritually pure like flat wooden implements.

מצופות (overlaid mouthpiece of a musical instrument) – the place where the mouth is placed, and it is the narrow part of it. It is from the language of "עומדים צפופים" /standing crowded together (see Tractate Avot, Chapter 5, Mishnah 5).

טמאה – for we consider it as a metal vessel, and even though it is plain/straight, it is susceptible to receiving ritual impurity.

הקב שלה (the cavity, the lower part of the trumpet/horn) – the wide side that is on it, if it is made of metal.

ר' טרפון מטמא וחכים מטהרים – But the Halakha is according to the Sages.

קני מנורה טהורים – that they lack a name a name of their own, and it is taught in the Mishnah at the beginning of this chapter (see Tractate Kelim, Chapter 11, Mishnah 2), that metal vessels that have a name of its own is ritually impure.

הפרח – the place where the candle sits that is at the top of the candelabrum, is called by the name of פרח/calyx (an ornament in the shape of a flower).

בסיס – the feet of the candelabrum/Menorah that it sits on them (i.e., the base).

קסדא – the bronze hat that the men of war place on their heads.

ולחיים – tin foil or other plating material of bronze that they place on their cheeks.

ואם יש בהן בית קיבול מים – that they drink water in them during war.

כידון (light spear/javelin) – a small spear that is in the hands of the officers and the kings.

ניקון (iron point of a javelin) – like a canon. It is the language of (II Samuel 21:16): “[And Ishbi-benob tried to kill David – He was a descendant of the Rapha (a race of ghosts)]; his bronze spear [weighed three hundred shekels and he wore new armor].” And it is the bronze that is within the spear.

מגפיים (metal leggings, greaves) – bronze upper part of the leg that men of war carry [into battle].

תכשיטי נשים – even though they are not made for work but rather for beauty/ornamentation, we derive from Scripture as it is written (Numbers 31:23): “and anything that cannot withstand fire you must pass through water.”

עיר של זהב – like a diadem/tiara that women place on their heads in the shape of Jerusalem.

קטליות (necklace – a chain the links of which are of metal and strung on a linen or woolen thread) – golden threads that they (i.e., the women) place around the neck. But because the woman chokes herself with them in order that she should appear with much flesh, therefore, we call them קטליות (that act as something that kills).

ונזמים – there are those of them that are nose rings and there are those of them that are earrings.

בחוט של פשתן – that the links of which are perforated and they filled from them the thread.

החוליות טמאות – each one of them is considered on its own as a working vessel.

של אבנים – that there were jewels/pearls and stones perforated and they filed from them the thread.

טמא – the thread, since it is of metal.

כמלוא צואר קטנה – encompass the neck of a small girl.
