Taharos 10:7 - 10:8

הזולף את הבור (if one empties the pit- of wine/oil) – he removes the wine or oil that is in the cistern/pit, and because he doesn’t remove all of it at once but rather bit by bit, it (i.e., the Mishnah) calls it זולף/pours, drips.

ונמצא שרץ בראשונה – that he brought in a jug into the cistern and filled it, and similarly and second and similarly a third, and afterwards found a creeping insect in the jug that he filled first.

כולן טמאות that from the first, everything that was in the cistern was defiled, whether the creeping insect was in the cistern or whether it was in the jug.

באחרונה היא טמאה וכולן טהורות – for from it (i.e., in the last jug) was the creeping insect but not from the cistern, and even if t was from cistern, perhaps it fell into the cistern after all the first [jugs] had been filled.

אימתי בזמן שהוא זולף – when he brings in the jugs themselves into the cistern and fills each of them one at a time.

אבל היה זולף במחץ (but if he emptied the pit/cistern by using a ladle – to pour into the vessels) – that the jugs stand outside of the cistern, and he fills them through the ladle, and it is an earthenware vessel that is made/used to fill wine with it.

נמצא שרץ באחת מהן היא טמאה בלבד – for I could say that the creeping insect was within the jug and not in the cistern.

אימתי בזמן שהוא בודק – [when he examines] the ladle and the jugs, that he examined them that were wasn’t in them a creeping insect before he placed [olive] oil into tit, but he did not cover neither the cistern/pit nor the jugs all the time that he was bringing the ladle from this one to that one, for I could say that while he was walking the creeping insect fell into the jug, and similarly, if he covered it and did not examine also, perhaps it (i.e., the creeping insect) was in the jug beforehand.

אבל היה בודק ומכסה – that he examined the jugs, and on every occasion that he would bring the ladle from one to another he would cover whether the pit/cistern or whether the jug, and whichever way you turn, this creeping insect was in the cistern from the outset, whether it was found in the jug or whether it was found in the pit, or whether it was found in the ladle.

העגולים לזגים (the space between the molds and the deposit of grape shells) – An עיגול is a kind of large millstone that they would put on the grape shells after they tread on the grapes by foot, in order that they wring out and all of the wine exuded that remained in them, and as a result of its weight and size of this mold/roller, they need many people to raise it on the pile of grape shells that are made like a kind of pile and to lower it, therefore it is considered the public domain to ritually purify a matter of doubtful defilement, because man are found there.

כרם שלפני הבוצרים רשות היחיד (that [part of the] vineyard that is in front of the grape gatherers is the private domain) – for people are fearful to enter there, because he will be arrested/seized like a thief.

אחר הבוצרים רשות הרבים (that which is behind the grape gatherers is public domain) – for there is a domain for all people to enter.

כלי בית הבד של גת – meaning to say, and of (i.e., belonging to) the vat, for the olive press is for [olive] oil and there is a vat for wine.

והעקל (and a bale of loose texture containing the olive pulp to be pressed) - it is made like a kind of knit box similar to a net, and after they have squeezed/wrung out the olives, they place the olive peat in that bale of loose texture containing the olive pulp to be pressed and place upon it something heavy to remove the remainder.

מנגבן – but prior to this the ritually immersion is not benefitting/effective if they were defiled before the ritually impure liquids exuded from them that had been attached to them.

חולטן (scalds them in hot water) – pours upon them hot water and afterwards ritually immerses them.

בשבולת הנהר (in a rapid stream/ the current of the river) – a place where the waters flow/run, in order to remove the liquid that is attached on them. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yossi.
