Mishnah 1

Mishnayos Yadayim Perek 4 Mishnah 1

ידים פרק ד׳ משנה א׳

1
On that day the votes were counted and they decided that a footbath holding from two logs to nine kavs which was cracked could contract midras uncleanness. Because Rabbi Akiva said a footbath [must be considered] according to its designation.
בּוֹ בַיּוֹם נִמְנוּ וְגָמְרוּ עַל עֲרֵבַת הָרַגְלַיִם, שֶׁהִיא מִשְּׁנֵי לֻגִּין וְעַד תִּשְׁעָה קַבִּין שֶׁנִּסְדְּקָה, שֶׁהִיא טְמֵאָה מִדְרָס. שֶׁרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, עֲרֵבַת הָרַגְלַיִם כִּשְׁמָהּ:
א׳

בו ביום – This refers to the chapter above regarding the words of Rabbi Shimon ben Azzai, that speaks of the day when they appointed Rabbi Eleazar ben Azariah in the Academy [as the Nasi/president]. And every place where it states, "בו ביום" /on that day, in the Mishnah, it is regarding that day which is spoken of.

נמנו (they were counted – i.e., the votes were taken [and they decided]) – they stood for the count, to whom the number of those defile and the number of those who purify, and they decided the law according to the majority.

עריבת הרגלים – tub made for washing the feet.

שנסדקה –[which was cracked] near its bottom, and it doesn’t hold water in order to wash his one foot.

טמאה מדרס – for a tub made for a foot-bath prior its becoming cracked also was customary to sit in it, and it served [as a place] to sit while working.

שר' עקיבא – he would dispute and saw that the tub for a foot-bath is like its name (i.e., for washing the feet only, and not for sitting), that is, that like its name, so it is, that there is no מדרס/Levitical uncleanness arising from someone with gonorrhea having immediate contact through treading or leaning upon it. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Akiva.

בו ביום. אפירקין דלעיל קאי, אמלתיה דר׳ שמעון בן עזאי, דמיירי ביום שהושיבו את ר׳ אלעזר בן עזריה בישיבה. וכל מקום שנאמר במשנה בו ביום, על אותו יום נאמר:

נמנו. עמדו למנין, לדעת מנין המטמאים ומנין המטהרים, וגמרו הדין על פי הרוב:

עריבת הרגלים. עריבה עשויה לרחיצת הרגלים:

שנסדקה. סמוך לשוליה, ואינה מחזקת מים כדי רחיצת רגלו אחת:

טמאה מדרס. דעריבה קודם שנסדקה נמי היו רגילים לישב בה, והיתה משמשת ישיבה עם מלאכתה:

שר׳ עקיבא. היה חולק ואומר עריבת הרגלים כשמה, כלומר כשמה כן היא, שאין שם מדרס עליה. ואין הלכה כר׳ עקיבא:

Mishnayos Yadayim Perek 4 Mishnah 2

ידים פרק ד׳ משנה ב׳

On that day they said: all animal sacrifices which have been sacrificed under the name of some other offering are [nevertheless] valid, but they are not accounted to their owners as a fulfillment of their obligations, with the exception of the pesah and the sin-offering. [This is true of] the pesah in its correct time and the sin-offering at any time. Rabbi Eliezer says: [with the exception] also of the guilt-offering; [so that this refers to] the pesah in its correct time and to the sin- and guilt-offerings at any time. Rabbi Shimon ben Azzai said: I received a tradition from the seventy-two elders on the day when they appointed Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah head of the college that all animal sacrifices which are eaten and which have not been sacrificed under their own name are nevertheless valid, but they are not accounted to their owners as a fulfillment of their obligations, with the exception of the pesah and the sin-offering. Ben Azzai only added [to these exceptions] the wholly burnt-offering, but the sages did not agree with him.
בּוֹ בַיּוֹם אָמְרוּ, כָּל הַזְּבָחִים שֶׁנִּזְבְּחוּ שֶׁלֹּא לִשְׁמָן, כְּשֵׁרִים, אֶלָּא שֶׁלֹּא עָלוּ לַבְּעָלִים לְשׁוּם חוֹבָה, חוּץ מִן הַפֶּסַח וּמִן הַחַטָּאת. הַפֶּסַח בִּזְמַנּוֹ, וְהַחַטָּאת בְּכָל זְמַן. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, אַף הָאָשָׁם. הַפֶּסַח בִּזְמַנּוֹ, וְהַחַטָּאת וְהָאָשָׁם בְּכָל זְמַן. אָמַר רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן עַזַּאי, מְקֻבְּלַנִי מִפִּי שִׁבְעִים וּשְׁנַיִם זָקֵן, בַּיּוֹם שֶׁהוֹשִׁיבוּ אֶת רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בֶּן עֲזַרְיָה בַּיְשִׁיבָה, שֶׁכָּל הַזְּבָחִים הַנֶּאֱכָלִין שֶׁנִּזְבְּחוּ שֶׁלֹּא לִשְׁמָן, כְּשֵׁרִים, אֶלָּא שֶׁלֹּא עָלוּ לַבְּעָלִים לְשֵׁם חוֹבָה, חוּץ מִן הַפֶּסַח וּמִן הַחַטָּאת. לֹא הוֹסִיף בֶּן עַזַּאי אֶלָּא הָעוֹלָה, וְלֹא הוֹדוּ לוֹ חֲכָמִים:
