אם נשאלו כל אחד לחכמים על ספיקו בפני עצמו, אין בית דין יכולין לטמאן, דהא קיימא לן ספק טומאה ברשות הרבים ספיקו טהור. ואם באו בבת אחת, הואיל ובהוראה אחת יש לנו לומר טמאין אתם או טהורים אתם, אי אפשר לנו לומר טהורים אתם, שהרי אחד ודאי טמא:
ר׳ יוסי אומר בין כך ובין כך טמאין. לא נחלקו ר׳ יוסי ור׳ יהודה כשבאו לישאל בבת אחת, דדברי הכל טמאין. וכשבאו לישאל זה אחר זה דברי הכל טהורים. על מה נחלקו, על הבא לישאל עליו ועל חבירו, דר׳ יהודה מדמי ליה לזה אחר זה, ורבי יוסי מדמי ליה לבת אחת. והלכה כרבי יוסי:

Bartenura
אכל אחד מהן – it (i.e., the Mishnah) taught defilement according to the Torah and it [also] teaches defilement according to the Rabbi. And the dispute of Rabbi Yehuda and Rabbi Yossi here also is when one comes to be interrogated upon and on his neighbor, like the dispute above (in Mishnah 5). And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yossi.
אכל אחד מהן. תנא טומאה דאורייתא וקתני טומאה דרבנן. ופלוגתייהו דר׳ יהודה ורבי יוסי הכא נמי בבא לישאל עליו ועל חבירו, כפלוגתייהו לעיל. והלכה כר׳ יוסי:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.

אם נשאלו – each of by the Sages on his manner of doubt by himself, no Jewish court is able to defile them, for we hold that regarding a manner of doubt in the public domain, his manner of doubt is ritually pure, but if they came at one time, since that with one decision we are able to say, “you [both] are ritually impure or “you are [both] ritually impure, it is impossible for us to say “you [both] are ritually pure” since one is definitely impure.
ר' יוסי אומר בין כך ובין כך טמאין – Rabbi Yossi and Rabbi Yehuda did not disagree when they came to be interrogated at the same time, for everyone states that they are ritually impure. But when they came to be interrogated one after another, everyone states that they are ritually pure. On what did they disagree? One when one comes to be interrogated him and on his fellow, for Rabbi Yehuda compares this to one coming after the other, whereas Rabbi Yossi comes it to simultaneously. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yossi.
