טהרות פרק ב׳ משנה ז׳

7

Rabbi Eliezer says: the three of them are equivalent.The first degree of uncleanness in holy food, in terumah or in common food: conveys uncleanness at two removes and causes invalidity at one additional remove in the case of holy food; conveys uncleanness at one remove and causes invalidity at one additional remove in the case of terumah; and causes invalidity in common food. The second [degree of uncleanness] in the case of all of them: conveys uncleanness at one remove and causes invalidity at one additional remove in the case of holy food; it conveys uncleanness to common liquids and causes invalidity of terumah food. The third degree of uncleanness in the case of all them: conveys uncleanness to holy liquids and causes invalidity to holy food.

רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, שְׁלָשְׁתָּן שָׁוִין. הָאֶחָד שֶׁבַּקֹּדֶשׁ וְשֶׁבַּתְּרוּמָה וְשֶׁבְּחֻלִּין, מְטַמֵּא שְׁנַיִם וּפוֹסֵל אֶחָד בַּקֹּדֶשׁ, מְטַמֵּא אֶחָד וּפוֹסֵל אֶחָד בַּתְּרוּמָה, וּפוֹסֵל אֶת הַחֻלִּין. הַשֵּׁנִי שֶׁבְּכֻלָּן, מְטַמֵּא אֶחָד וּפוֹסֵל אֶחָד בַּקֹּדֶשׁ, וּמְטַמֵּא מַשְׁקֵה חֻלִּין, וּפוֹסֵל לְאֳכָלֵי תְרוּמָה. הַשְּׁלִישִׁי שֶׁבְּכֻלָּן, מְטַמֵּא מַשְׁקֵה קֹדֶשׁ וּפוֹסֵל לְאֳכָלֵי קֹדֶשׁ:

ר' אליעזר אומר שלשתן שוין – as he explains further on, for Rabbi Eliezer does not hold the purity of heave-offering which is Levitical uncleanness next to Holy Things.

השלישי שבכולן – third-degree of [ritual defilement] is not found with unconsecrated foods unless they were made through the purity of heave-offering. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Eliezer.

ר׳ אליעזר אומר שלשתן שוין. כדמפרש ואזיל, דלית ליה לר׳ אליעזר טהרתה של תרומה טומאה היא אצל הקודש:

השלישי שבכולן. לא משכחת שלישי בחולין אא״כ נעשו על טהרת תרומה. ואין הלכה כר׳ אליעזר:
