טבול יום א׳:ג׳ - א׳:ד׳

מסמר שאחר הככר – dough that protrudes from the loaf of bread like a kind of nail, and there are those what make it as such for a sign.

וגרגיר מלח קטן (and a small globule/lump of salt) – that was attached to the loaf and baked with it.

והחרחור (and the burnt crust/part of the loaf)- that the bread is burnt less than the thickness of a finger surrounding it. [The word] חרחור is the language of (Jeremiah 6:29): “The bellows puff; the lead is consumed by fire. [Yet the smelter smelts to no purpose – the dross is not separated out].”/"נחר מפוח מאש".

ר' יוסי אומר – all that is burnt is consumed with the loaf, it is a connection/junction, and if the person who immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom touched that which is burnt, it is as if he touched the bread. But if not, it is not an attachment/connection. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yossi.

הצרור שבככר – that they customarily place a pebble stone within the loaf as a sign/symbol so that it not be exchanged for another, and sometimes they place a large lump of salt or a lupine. All of these are not considered a connection/junction to the bread, but if a primary source of ritual defilement touched one of these, it is not as if it touched the bread itself, and all the more so, a person who immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom that the loaf of heave-offering/priest’s due is not invalidated by this.

והחרחור יותר מכאצבע (the burnt part of the loaf/the burnt crust larger than a finger’s breadth) – and similarly when it is burnt from the bread with more than the thickness of a finger, and an impure person or a person who immersed himself that day had touched the burnt part, it is not a connection/junction to/with the bread.

ר' יוסי אומר כל שאינו נאכל עמו – is not a connection/junction. And We don’t estimate the width of a finger like the first Tanna/teacher [of the Mishnah]. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yossi.
