טהרות פרק ה׳ משנה ג׳
If there were two paths, the one unclean and the other clean, and one walked on one of them and then prepared clean foods which were then eaten and, then he was sprinkled upon once and a second time and he performed immersion and became clean, then he walked on the second path and then prepared clean foods, the latter are clean. If the first foods were still in existence both must be held in suspense. If he had not become clean in the meantime, the first is held in suspense and the second must be burnt.
שְׁנֵי שְׁבִילִים, אֶחָד טָמֵא וְאֶחָד טָהוֹר, הָלַךְ בְּאַחַד מֵהֶם וְעָשָׂה טָהֳרוֹת וְנֶאֱכְלוּ, הִזָּה וְשָׁנָה וְטָבַל וְטָהַר, וְהָלַךְ בַּשֵּׁנִי וְעָשָׂה טָהֳרוֹת, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ טְהוֹרוֹת. אִם קַיָּמוֹת הָרִאשׁוֹנוֹת, אֵלּוּ וָאֵלּוּ תְּלוּיוֹת. אִם לֹא טָהַר בֵּינְתַיִם, הָרִאשׁוֹנוֹת תְּלוּיוֹת וְהַשְּׁנִיּוֹת יִשָּׂרֵפוּ:
Bartenura
הזה ושנה. הזה בשלישי, ושנה בשביעי:
אלו ואלו תלויות. אע״ג דבשנים שהלכו מוקמינן כל חד בחזקת טהרה, כדתנן לקמן, הכא גבי חד בתרי זימני לא שייך לטהר בקיימות, דאפילו בשנים כשבאו לישאל בבת אחת, טמאין. וחד אפילו בזה אחר זה כבת אחת דמי:
והשניות ישרפו. דודאי טמא היה כשנעשו:
הזה ושנה – he sprinkled on the third [day] and repeated it on the seventh [day].
אלו ואלו תלויות – even though that in the two [paths] that they walked, we establish that each one is in the presumption of ritual purity, as is taught in the Mishnah further on (Mishnah 5), here concerning one [person] in two times, it doesn’t belong to ritually purify with those which remain, for even with two when they came to interrogate him at the same time, they are ritually impure. And the other, even with one after the other is considered like at the same time.
השניות ישרפו – for certainly it was ritually impure when they were made.
