מקואות י׳:ד׳ - י׳:ה׳

פרקסין (underwear/shirt) – the underclothes that are upon the skin, and this is open at the shoulders, and when he wears it, he ties it on the shoulder, and at the time of removal/stripping, he loosens it.

ושפה של סדין צריך למתה – the folds/creases that are in the upper rim/hem in order that the water can come between those folds/creases.

למתח (to stretch) – to stretch them and to draw them out/extend them, like (Isaiah 40:22): “Stretched them out like a tent to dwell in.”

ושנץ של סנדל (laces of a sandal) – straps that one ties/knots them.

עד שיבעבעו (of garments dipped in water until they are soaked thru and cease from bulging) – when a person immerses clothing in the water, they emerge like kinds of bubbles/bulges and when they are launder and liquid drips from them, when the water begins to bulge, they have been purified, because they have been in contact with the water that has been absorbed by them to the waters of the Mikveh, but when they are dried, the water does not come into all of it until they have ceased from bulging. That when a person immerses a sheet and is not able to stretch it out, for the Mikveh is not that wide, he inserts it in the water when it is folded up, and through it the water bulges/bubbles, but when they rest from bulging it is known that the waters came through all of it.

מטבילן עד מקום המדה (one immerses them up to the point of their proper measure) – and the rest does not require ritual immersion, for all that are stand to be cut off is considered as something cut off. And there is no interposition to the place of the cutting itself, for the covered parts of utensils do not require being in water like that of a human being, and they permit the covered parts of utensils on the covered parts of humans, for whereas the covered parts of a person, assuming that they don’t require water coming on them, we do need that they are worthy for water to come on them, but the covered pars of utensils, even if they are worthy for water to come upon them, it is not necessary, for a person is not particular/mindful there.

ר' יהודה אומר כו' – but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.

מטבילין עד מקום המדה – until [a length] of four [handbreadths] for a large [bucket] and up to ten [handbreadths] for a small [bucket], and the remainder is ritually pure and does not require ritual immersion, and even if the measure ended at half of ring in the chain, there is no need to immerse other than up until one-half of the ring.

ר' טרפון אומר עד שיטבול את כל הטבעת – for the measure had ended at its half. And the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Tarfon.
