Shabbos 6:4 - 6:5

תריס – a shield made in a three-fold shape.

אלה – a round shield and both are made of wood, but I heard that אלה is a “Matza/Mamtze” in the foreign language and in Arabic “Dasus/Davus.”

וכתתו חרבותם לאתים – but if they are ornaments, they would not be idle in the future.

בירית – a brooch/clasp on the leg to hold the leggings so that they don’t fall and people would see her legs; therefore, she is pure, and it is not an adornment for beauty (see Tractate Shabbat 63a), and it is a useful utensil which is none other than a utensil that guards another utensil, similar to the rings of utensils that are pure.

יוצאין בה – for it is the manner of dress and one should not fear lest it becomes loose and she shows it, so that she will reveal her leg.

כבלים טמאין – there was a family in Jerusalem whose steps were large and their virgins would fall off and they placed a chain between each brooch that was on her legs and they made ankle-chains so that their steps would not be so large and that their virgins wouldn’t fall off; therefore, it is the sex chain of man and not the usage of a utensil , therefore it is susceptible to receive ritual impurity.

ואין יוצאין בהם – lest the chain falls which is of gold and would show that when he takes the chain, the leg is not revealed, for it is a brooch that stands in its place.

חוטי שער – detached hair that she made it like bands and she plaits/twists in them her hair or even ties them on her forehead a fastened tie, she goes out with them for they are not similar to bands of wool or bands of flax from above, because the water enters into them and if she happens to have a ritual immersion, she does not need to be afraid nor come to carry them.

בין משלה בין משל חברתה בין משל בהמה – it is necessary [to teach all three of them] for if it (i.e., the Mishnah) had only taught “of her own,” because it is not detestable, but of another’s [hair] which is detestable to her, I might say, that we should fear lest she loosen them and carry them; for if it (i.e., the Mishnah) had taught “of another’s,” because it is like her the same class or size, it would not be recognized and would not laugh at her, and because of this, there is nothing to suspect lest she loosen it and carry it, but “of an animal’s” which is not of the same class or size, and because it is recognized, I might suspect perhaps she took it off and carried it, hence, it is necessary [to teach all three].

בזמן שהן תפורין – to weave into her hair for furthermore, she will not loosen them to carry them.

לחצר – it is referring to a hair-net and a wig, for she is forbidden to get up and go out with it to the public domain, and now we learn that to the courtyard, it is permitted.

פאה נכרית – a woman who lacks a lot of hair takes the hair of other women and places it on her head, and she appears as if it is her hair.

במוך שבאזנה – that she puts in to absorb her moisture/secretion of the pus of the ear.

שבסנדלה – so that the shoe will not damage the heel of her foot.

לנדתה – in the same place that will absorb the blood and not soil her clothing, and even though it is not tied, if it falls, she will not come to carry because of his detestability, but the wool that is in her ear and/or that is in her shoe, she will not go out other than if it is tied and fastened.

בפלפל – that she places in her mouth because of the odor of the mouth.

ובגרגיר מלח – that she places for healing the illness of the teeth.

שן תותבת – it rests in her jaw in the place of the tooth that fell out.

ושן של זהב – a tooth that changed its appearance on account of decay, they cover it with gold.

רבי מתיר – to go out with it for she will not loose it and carry it, in order to not reveal her defect.

וחכמים אוסרים – because it is different from the rest of her teeth, lest she laugh about it and loosens it and comes to carry it. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.
