Oholos 17:3 - 17:4

חרש חצי מענה (he ploughed half a furrow) – fifty cubits form the place of the grave and he returned afterwards and ploughed from there another fifty cubits, all the one-hundred became/were made into a Bet HaPras. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehoshua.

מלטימיא (quarry; he who starts ploughing from a quarry – where chips of stones, bones, etc. are deposited, or from a deposit of bones) – like full of bones. The dig is filled with corpses one on top of the other. [The word] טמיא – in the Aramaic language are bones of corpses/dead people.

מצבירת העצמות (from a pile of bones) – from the place that the bones are piled up there. And this is a matter that is not accessible/frequent that a person will plough on a pit/dig that is filled with corpses and on the pile of bones they are revealed, and they (i.e., the Rabbis) did not decree other than with a grave that was ploughed that is a thing that is accessible.

ומשדה שאבד הקבר מתוכה – that this is a compound uncertainty, lest he did not plough in the place of he grave, and if you can say, he ploughed, but perhaps he did not carry from it a bone.

או שנמצא בה קבר- that he ploughed and afterwards it was found, that this is a Rabbinic Bet HaPras, and they did not fine him since he did not know.

החורש את שאינו שלו – the Rabbis did not fine him for the land is to be that of his colleague is the Bet HaPras. And similarly, regarding a heathen, a fine is not appropriate for him.

שאין בת הפרוס לכותיים – that is to say, that even on the Cutheans they (i.e., the Rabbis) did not fine, all the more so, that they didn’t fine the heathen.

על גבי טהורה – that the field of the Bet HaPras (i.e., the area in which uncertainty exists concerning the location of a grave or a corpse) is above and it is pure below.

אפילו אדומה – that the dirt of the pure area is red.

והלבינה – on account of the dirt of the Bet HaPras which was white.
