in the heat,

<<and bathes

<<even

<<in water of

<<soaking [flax].

That works for

<<the summer;

<<in the rainy season,

<<what

<<is there

<<to say?

<<Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak said:

<<at times

<<that a person

<<comes

<<from the field

<<soiled

<<with mud

<<and excrement,

<<and bathes

<<even

<<in the rainy season.

That works for

<<Shabbos;

<<on Yom Kippur,

<<what

<<is there

<<to say?

Rava said:

<<is

<<there

<<anything

<<that on Shabbos

<<is permitted

<<and on Yom Kippur

<<is prohibited?

<<Rather,

<<since

<<on Shabbos

<<it is permitted,

<<on Yom Kippur

<<too

<<it is permitted.

And does

<<hold

<<Rava

<<[of] ‘since’?

<<But we learned:

<<one who has pain

<<in his teeth

<<may not

<<sip

<<through them

<<vinegar,

<<but

<<dips [his bread]

<<he

<<in his usual way,

<<and if

<<he is healed,

<<he is healed.

<<And we raised a contradiction

<<to it:

<<one may not

<<sip

<<and spit out,

<<but

<<one may sip

<<and swallow!

And Abaye said:

<<when

<<we learned

<<also

<<our Mishnah,

<<sipping

<<and spitting out

<<we learned.

<<And Rava

<<said:

<<you may even say

<<sipping

<<and swallowing,

<<and it is not a difficulty:

<<here,

<<before

<<dipping;

<<there,

<<after

<<dipping.

And if it were so,

<<let us say:

<<since

<<before

<<dipping

<<it is permitted,

<<after

<<dipping

<<too

<<it is permitted!

<<Retracted

<<Rava

<<from that one.

And from where [do we know]

<<that from that one

<<he retracted?

<<Perhaps

<<from this one

<<he retracted!

<<It cannot enter your mind,

<<for it is taught:

<<all

<<who are obligated in

<<immersions

<<immerse

<<in their usual way,

<<whether

<<on Tisha B'Av

<<or

<<on Yom Kippur.

‘And they agree

<<that one may connect

<<the water

<<in a vessel of

<<stone

<<etc.’

<<What is

<<‘but

<<not

<<immerse’?

<<Shmuel said:

<<one may not

<<immerse

<<a vessel

<<together with

<<its water

<<to purify it

<<on Yom Tov.

Whose is

<<our Mishnah?

<<Not

<<Rebbi

<<and not

<<the Rabbis,

<<as it is taught:

<<one may not

<<immerse

<<a vessel

<<together with

<<its water

<<to purify it,

<<and one may not

<<connect

<<the water

<<in a vessel of

<<stone

<<to purify it —

<<the words of

<<Rebbi.

<<And the Sages

<<say:

<<one may immerse

<<a vessel

<<together with

<<its water

<<to purify it,

<<and connect

<<the water

<<in a vessel of

<<stone

<<to purify it.

Whose is it?

<<If

<<Rebbi,

<<there is a difficulty with

<<connecting;

<<if

<<the Rabbis,

<<there is a difficulty with

<<immersing!

If you wish, say

<<Rebbi;

<<if you wish, say

<<the Rabbis.

<<If you wish, say

<<Rebbi:

<<the first clause

<<of the Baraisa

<<is about Yom Tov,

<<and the latter clause

<<about Shabbos,

<<and all of

<<our Mishnah

<<is about Yom Tov.
