Mishnayos Parah Perek 11 Mishnah 8

פרה פרק י"א משנה ח׳

8

The hyssop that was used for sprinkling [the hatat waters] is also fit for cleansing the metzora. If it was gathered for firewood, and liquid fell upon it, it may be dried and it becomes fit. If it was gathered for food, and liquid fell upon it, even though it was dried, it is invalid. If it was gathered for [the sprinkling of the waters of] the hatat, it is subject to the same law as if it were gathered for food, the words of Rabbi Meir. Rabbi Judah, Rabbi Yose and Rabbi Shimon ruled: as if it were gathered for firewood.

אֵזוֹב שֶׁהִזָּה בוֹ, כָּשֵׁר לְטַהֵר בּוֹ אֶת הַמְּצֹרָע. לִקְּטוֹ לְעֵצִים וְנָפְלוּ עָלָיו מַשְׁקִין, מְנַגְּבוֹ וְהוּא כָשֵׁר. לִקְּטוֹ לְאֳכָלִין וְנָפְלוּ עָלָיו מַשְׁקִין, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁנִּגְּבוֹ, פָּסוּל. לִקְּטוֹ לְחַטָּאת, כִּמְלֻקָּט לְאֳכָלִין, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה וְרַבִּי יוֹסֵי וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמְרִים, כִּמְלֻקָּט לְעֵצִים:

מנגבו – in order that the fit/suitable water does not combine/mix with invalid water.

אע"פ שנגבו פסול – and even though it was not defiled, from when it became susceptible to receive ritual defilement.

לקטו לחטאת – to sprinkle upon it the waters of purification.

כמלקט לעצים – and he dries it, and it is fit/suitable. And such is the Halakha (according to Rabbis Yossi and Shimon).

מנגבו. כדי שלא יתערבו מים הכשרים בפסולים:

אע״פ שנגבו פסול. ואע״פ שלא נטמא, משהוכשר לקבל טומאה פסול:

לקטו לחטאת. להזות בו מי חטאת:

כמלקט לעצים. ומנגבו והוא כשר. וכן הלכה:
