ערלה פרק ג׳ משנה ב׳
If one dyed a thread the whole [length] of a sit with orlah peels, and wove it into a garment, and it is not known which [thread] it is:Rabbi Meir says: the garment must be burned; But the sages say: it becomes neutralized in two-hundred-and-one.
הַצּוֹבֵעַ מְלֹא הַסִּיט בִּקְלִפֵּי עָרְלָה, וַאֲרָגוֹ בְבֶגֶד, וְאֵין יָדוּעַ אֵיזֶה הוּא, רַבִּי מֵאִיר אוֹמֵר, יִדָּלֵק הַבֶּגֶד. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, יַעֲלֶה בְאֶחָד וּמָאתָיִם:
Bartenura
מלא הסיט. הוא כדי הפסק שיש בין אמה לאצבע כל מה שיכול להרחיבו. והפסק שיש בין האגודל לאצבע כל מה שיוכל להרחיבו הוא הסיט כפול לפי שהוא כפול ממה שיש בין אמה לאצבע. ומלא הסיט הוא שיעור חשוב לאיסור הלכך כשארגו בבגד ואין ידוע איזו הוא רבי מאיר אומר ידלקו לטעמיה. וחכמים אומרים יעלו באחד ומאתים לטעמייהו, כפלוגתא דלעיל:
מלא הסיט – it is according to the suspension between the fore-arm to the finger – all what he is able to widen it, and the suspension that is between the thumb to the finger, all that he one is able to widen it, which is a double “sit” (the double size of the “sit” – the distance between the tip of the thumb and that of the index finger when held apart, or between the root of the thumb and the tip of the index finger, when the former is leaning against the latter – see also Tractate Shabbat, Chapter 13, Mishnah 4), because it is double from what lies between the forearm and the finger. And within the distance of a “sit” is an important measurement for prohibition. Therefore, when they have weaved in the cloth, and it is not known which it is, Rabbi Meir states, according to his reasoning, that it (i.e., the entire cloth) should be burned, and the Sages state that it is neutralized in one and two-hundred , according to their reasoning as seen in the dispute of above (see Mishnah 1 of this chapter).
