מכשירין פרק ג׳ משנה ז׳
If donkey-drivers were crossing a river and their sacks [filled with produce] fell into the water and they were happy about it, it comes under the law of ‘if water be put’. Rabbi Judah says: one cannot help being happy about it. Rather, [it comes under the law] only if they turned over [the sacks]. If one's feet were full of clay, similarly, the feet of his beast, and he crossed a river and he was happy about it, this comes under the law of ‘if water be put’. Rabbi Judah says: one cannot help being happy about it. Rather, [it comes under the law] only if he stopped and rinsed off his [feet] or those of his [domesticated] beast. But with an unclean [beast] it always causes susceptibility to uncleanness.
הַחַמָּרִין שֶׁהָיוּ עוֹבְרִים בַּנָּהָר וְנָפְלוּ שַׂקֵּיהֶם לַמַּיִם, אִם שָׂמְחוּ, בְּכִי יֻתַּן. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אִי אֶפְשָׁר שֶׁלֹּא לִשְׂמֹחַ, אֶלָּא, אִם הָפְכוּ. הָיוּ רַגְלָיו מְלֵאוֹת טִיט, וְכֵן רַגְלֵי בְהֶמְתּוֹ, עָבַר בַּנָּהָר, אִם שָׂמַח, בְּכִי יֻתַּן. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אִי אֶפְשָׁר שֶׁלֹּא לִשְׂמֹחַ, אֶלָּא, אִם עָמַד וְהֵדִיחַ. בְּאָדָם וּבִבְהֵמָה טְמֵאָה, לְעוֹלָם טָמֵא:
Bartenura
אם הפך השקים. לצד אחר, כדי שישורו במים משני צדדין, אז הוכשרו:
אם עמד והדיח. אם עמד במים להדיח רגלי בהמתו, אז מכשירים מים העולין ברגליהם אם נפלו על הפירות:
באדם ובבהמה טמאה. מכשירין המים העולים ברגליהן בין הדיח בין לא הדיח. ואין הלכה כרבי יהודה:
אם הפך השקים (if he turned over the sacks) – to one side, in order the water would hasten to enter from both sides, then they would be fit for Levitical uncleanness.
אם עמד והדיח – if he stood in the water to rinse off the feet of his animal, then the water makes fit for Levitical uncleanness of [those animals] that ascend by their feet if [water] fell on the fruit.
באדם ובבהמה טמאה – they make fit for Levitical uncleanness the waters that come upon their feet, whether he rinsed them or whether he did not rinse them. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
