כלים פרק ג׳ משנה ג׳

3

A jar that had a hole and was mended with pitch and then was broken again: If the fragment that was mended with the pitch can hold a quarter of a log it is unclean, since the designation of a vessel has never ceased to be applied to it. A potsherd that had a hole and was mended with pitch, it is clean though it can contain a quarter of a log, because the designation of a vessel has ceased to be applied to it.

חָבִית שֶׁנִּקְּבָה וַעֲשָׂאָהּ בְּזֶפֶת, וְנִשְׁבְּרָה, אִם יֵשׁ בִּמְקוֹם הַזֶּפֶת מַחֲזִיק רְבִיעִית, טְמֵאָה, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁלֹּא בָטַל שֵׁם כְּלִי מֵעָלֶיהָ. חֶרֶס שֶׁנִּקַּב וַעֲשָׂאוֹ בְזֶפֶת, אַף עַל פִּי מַחֲזִיק רְבִיעִית, טָהוֹר, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁבָּטַל שֵׁם כְּלִי מֵעָלָיו:

חבת שניקבה – when it releases olive [oil]. And it is pure, and when it was repaired with pitch, it becomes susceptible to receive defilement from here onwards.

חזרה ונשברה – into many pieces. That shard which has in it pitch holding one-quarter [of a LOG] and it sits without being supported/propped up is impure. But are dealing with a jar that holds from a LOG to a SEAH [the uncleanness will persist if the remnant will hold] a quarter of a LOG as is taught in the Mishnah in the previous Chapter (Tractate Kelim, Chapter 2, Mishnah 2). But even though the closing up (through repair with pitch) has no effect on the hole that comes after breakage, this closing up is different because it was done prior to having nullifying the designation of a vessel from it, for a jug that was perforated, its designation as a jug is upon it even though it is pure, but earthenware that departs from the jug, nullifies the designation of the name of a vessel from it even though it is not perforated. Therefore, closing up its hole has no benefit.

חבית שניקבה. במוציא זית, וטהרה, כשחזר ועשאה בזפת, מקבלת טומאה מכאן ולהבא:

חזרה ונשברה. לשברים הרבה. ואותו השבר שיש בו הזפת מחזיק רביעית ויושב שלא מסומך, טמא. ובחבית המחזקת מלוג ועד סאה עסקינן, כדתנן בפרקין דלעיל מלוג ועד סאה ברביעית. ואע״פ שאין סתימה מועלת לנקב הבא לאחר שבירה, שאני הך סתימה שנעשית קודם שבטל שם כלי ממנה. דחבית שניקבה שם חבית עליה אע״פ שטהרה, אבל חרס הפורש מן החבית בטל שם כלי מעליו אע״פ שלא ניקב, לפיכך אין מועלת סתימה בנקב שלו:
