מקואות ט׳:ה׳ - ט׳:ו׳

והמור (myrrh)– MOSKO in the foreign tongue. And there are books that have the reading "וחמר".

דרגש (footstool in front of a high bed) – a small bed. In the Aramaic translation/Targum, (Ezekiel 23:41): “and you sat on a grand couch [with a set table in front of it -and it was My incense and My oil you laid upon it],” these are דרגשין/footstools in front of a high bed.

על הנקיים חוצציין – because they are mindful of them.

בלוסין (utensils soaked with a mixture of colors (i.e., stains from use) – dirty. Similar to it is what is in the Gemara in the chapter, “The Great Principle”/כלל גדול [Shabbat 76b) – a dough of unsifted flour (with bran).

אינן חוצצין – because they are not mindful of them. And that is the reason we are talking about the beds of an houseowner and a poor person.

איכוף – like an אוכף/saddle. And it is [made] of leather and we place it on the donkey when it carries a burden.

זקקין (saddles used by dealers in hose) – those who carry the leather bottles/skins. The language of hose/זיקא whether the tied-up wine skin was filled entirely or whether it was lacking, is permitted in Tractate Avodah Zarah 60a.

אינו חוצץ – for they are not mindful about the dirtiness.

עד כאיסר האיטלקי – which is wide like four grains of barley, it interposes; less than this it does not interpose. But the first Tanna/teacher does not give a measurement, but even less than an Issar, it interposes. And the Halakha is according to the first Tanna/teacher.

משני צדדין – that it passes over from two sides of the clothing.

של בנאים – Sages who engage in the building of the world and are mindful of the greasy stains that are on their clothing, for Rabbi Yohanan stated (Talmud Shabbat 114a): Any Sage upon whom grease is found on his clothing is liable for death.

ושל בור – worse than a common, uneducated person (i.e. more correctly, someone who is not meticulous in his observance of the commandments), for he is not mindful of the dirty that is in his clothes unless it comes out from side to side, and the pack-saddle or cushion that we stated above (i.e., see the previous Mishnah) that it interposes, that is when it passes from both sides. So that there should not be a pack-saddle that is more important than the clothing of a common, uneducated person. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yossi.
