Keilim 7:2 - 7:3

דכון (elevated spot in the kitchen for vessels/a stand fixed to the stove or portable oven) – it is the language of a place/stand, like “in a certain place/בדוך פלן” [Berakhot 18b]. And this is a place that projects/protrudes from the portable oven with caves for two pots/כירה, that when they remove the pot from the portable oven with caves for two pots, they set it down on this projection/protrusion but sometimes it has a receptacle for two or three pots.

טהור משום כירה – that if the portable oven with caves for two pots became [ritually] impure, it (i.e., the pot) did not become impure [on account of the portable oven]; alternatively, it does not defile what is attached like a portable oven with caves for two pots.

הצדדים שלו – the walls of the stand fixed to the stove or portable oven that are not part of the portable oven.

הרחב שלו (its wide side) – this is the wall of the portable stove with caves for two pots itself to the side of the receptacle of the stand fixed to the stove/portable oven. But because the stand fixed to the stove/portable oven continually widens to the side of the portable oven, it is called רחב/its wide side.

רבי מאיר מטהר – for it is not considered like the portable oven with caves for two pots (see Tractate Kelim, Chapter 6, Mishnah 3).

ורבי יהודה מטמא – that it is considered like the portable oven with caves for two pots. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehuda.

וכן הכופה את הסל – and built the portable stove with caves for two pots on its back/on top of it (i.e., the basket), and it protrudes beyond the portable stove. But the basket is what defiles because it is a wooden utensil, but when he built upon it the portable stove and the width of the basket protrudes beyond the walls of the portable stove and they place the pots on that protrusion, the law is like the stand fixed to the stove/portable oven.

כירה שנחלקה לארכה טהורה – a portable stove with caves for two pots that opened for two pots. But when it is divided lengthwise, the two placings on/over the fire were eliminated, but if it was divided widthwise, the two placings over the fire remain, this one alone and that one alone.

כופח – a place where there is an opening for one pot. But whether it is cracked lengthwise or whether it is cracked widthwise, all of the place where the pot is placed on/over the fire is eliminated.

חצר הכירה – like a kind of large, earthenware pan [without a lid] and the portable oven with caves for two pots sits in the middle attached to the courtyard.

שלש אצבעות – that the walls of the courtyard are three fingers high. For just as the measure of the portable stove with caves for two pots, is three fingers at the outset, as is it is taught above in the Mishnah (Tractate Kelim, Chapter 5, Mishnah 2) in the Chapter “The Oven.” So as well is the measurement of the courtyard of the double stove, its height is not less than three fingers, but less than three [fingers], its airspace is not considered important. However, according to the Rabbis it defiles through contact. Alternatively, because there is something like a handle for the double stove, and the handle has contact, but not airspace.

כיצד משערין אותה – because a portable stove with caves for two pots is a great deal higher than the courtyard and we must measure what is considered the airspace of the courtyard.

נותן את השפוד – one end on the lowest wall of the courtyard and the other end on the highest wall of the double stove, and everything that is below from the spit, if one suspended there an unclean reptile, even though it is a above from the walls of the courtyard as if it is suspended below, for all of this is considered the airspace of the courtyard.

לא נטמאת הכירה – for the court [of the stove] is subsidiary to the portable stove with caves for two pots, but the portable double stove is not subsidiary to the court [of the stove]. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov.
