Mishnayos Eduyos Perek 3 Mishnah 2
עדיות פרק ג׳ משנה ב׳
Food which is in separate pieces does not combine together [to receive impurity], according to Rabbi Dosa ben Harkinas. But the Sages say: “It does combines together.” One may exchange [ produce of] second tithe for uncoined metal, according to Rabbi Dosa. But the Sages say: “One may not so exchange it.” The hands [alone] need to be immersed for the waters of purification according to Rabbi Dosa. But the Sages say: “If his hands have become unclean his whole body becomes unclean.”
אֹכֶל פָּרוּד, אֵינוֹ מִצְטָרֵף, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי דוֹסָא בֶּן הַרְכִּינַס. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, מִצְטָרֵף. מְחַלְּלִין מַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי עַל אֲסִימוֹן, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי דוֹסָא. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, אֵין מְחַלְּלִין. מַטְבִּילִין יָדַיִם לַחַטָּאת, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי דוֹסָא. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, אִם נִטְמְאוּ יָדָיו, נִטְמָא גוּפוֹ:
Bartenura
אוכל פרוד. כגון צבור של אגוזים בטנים ושקדים, שכשהן נפרדים זה מזה אין בהם כביצה שהוא שיעור טומאת אוכלים לטמא אחרים:
אינו מצטרף. ואם הן טמאים ונגעו בהן טהרות כשהן צבורין אינן מצטרפין זה עם זה לטמא הטהרות, כיון שאין בכל אחד מהן בפני עצמו כשיעור טומאת אוכלין:
אסימון. עשוי כמדת המטבע היוצא, אלא שעדיין לא טבעו עליו צורה. ואין פודין בו מעשר שני, דכתיב (דברימ י״ד) וצרת הכסף בידך, דבר שיש עליו צורה:
מטבילין ידים לחטאת. מי שנגע באוכלין ומשקין טמאים וכיוצא בהן מדברים שמטמאין את הידים ואין מטמאין כל הגוף, הרי זה מטביל ידיו בלבד, וכשר ליגע במי חטאת ולהזות מאפר הפרה על הטמא:
אם נטמאו ידיו נטמא גופו. וצריך טבילה לכל הגוף, דמעלה עשו במי חטאת שאם נטמאו ידיו נטמא גופו, משא״כ בתרומה וקדשים:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Eduyos Perek 3 Mishnah 3
עדיות פרק ג׳ משנה ג׳
The insides of a melon and the discarded leaves of a vegetable of terumah: Rabbi Dosa permits [their] use to non-priests, and the Sages forbid it. Five ewes, their fleeces weighing each a mina and a half, are subject to [the law of] the first of the fleece, according to Rabbi Dosa. But the Sages say: “Five ewes [are subject] whatever [their fleeces weigh].”
מְעֵי אֲבַטִּיחַ וּקְנִיבַת יָרָק שֶׁל תְּרוּמָה, רַבִּי דוֹסָא מַתִּיר לְזָרִים, וַחֲכָמִים אוֹסְרִין. חָמֵשׁ רְחֵלוֹת גְּזוּזוֹת מָנֶה מָנֶה וּפְרַס, חַיָּבוֹת בְּרֵאשִׁית הַגֵּז, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי דוֹסָא. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, חָמֵשׁ רְחֵלוֹת כָּל שֶׁהֵן:
Bartenura
מעי אבטיח – the seeds and the liquid that is within the melon.
וקניבת ירק – the mouldy/decayed leaves that we remove from the vegetables.
מנה מנה ופרס (this segment of the Mishnah is also taught in Tractate Hullin, Chapter 11, Mishnah 2) – Each one is worth a Maneh and one-half and less than this is not considered fleece/shorn wool for this is the least of the fleece.
כל שהן – not exactly for less than sixth Selah the Rabbis do not obligated in the first shorn wood (which is the priest’s gift), but because Rabbi Dosa provides a large measurement, the Tannah calls for the small measurement of the Rabbis, however much they produce. And the weight of the Sela is twenty-four Ma’im and the weight of each M’ah is sixteen globules of barley-seed.s
מעי אבטיח. הזרעונים והמשקה שבתוך האבטיח:
וקניבת ירק. עלין מעופשים שמסירים מן הירק:
מנה ומנה ופרס. כל אחת מנה וחצי. ובציר מהכי לא חשיב גז, שזו פחות שבגיזות:
כל שהן. לאו דוקא. דבפחות מששים סלעים לא מחייבי רבנן בראשית הגז. אלא משום דרבי דוסא יהיב שיעורא רבה, קרי תנא לשיעורא זוטא דרבנן כל שהן. והסלע משקלו כ״ד מעים, ומשקל כל מעה ט״ז גרעיני שעורה:

אוכל פרוד – such as a pile of nuts, peanuts and almonds, when they are separated one from the other, they lack the equivalent of an egg which is the measure for defilment of foods to defile others.
אינו מצטרף – and if they were ritually impure and came in contact with ritually pure [foods] when they are in a pile, they do not combine with each other to defile the pure [foods] since there isn’t among any of them on its own like the measure for the defiling of foods.
אסימון – it is made like the form of the coin in vogue, but they had not yet formulated the coin (i.e., a picture indicating the value), and we don’t redeem Second Tithe with it, as it is written (Deuteronomy 14:25): “Wrap up the money n your hand,” something that has upon it a form.
מטבילין ידים לחטאת – Whomever has come in contact with impure food-stuffs and liquids and similar thing from those things that defile the hands and don’t defile the entire body, he immerses his hands only, and it is fit to com in contact with the waters of purification (i.e., water mixed with the ashes of the Red Heifer) and to be sprinkled from the ashes of the [Red] Heifer on the impurity.
אם נטמאו ידיו נטמא גופו – and it requires immersion of the entire body, for they made a preference for the waters of purification that if his hands had been defiled, his entire body was defiled, which is not the case with Priest’s Due/Terumah and Holy Things [in the Temple].
