לא מטמו? אמר רבה בר בר חנה, רבי יהושע היא. דתנן: רבי אליעזר אומר: האוכל אוכל ראשון — ראשון. ואוכל אוכל שני — שני. אוכל שלישי — שלישי. רבי יהושע אומר: האוכל אוכל ראשון ואוכל שני — שני. שלישי — שני לקודש, ואין שני לתרומה בחולין שנעשו על טהרת תרומה.
do not render it impure; in other words, they do not render the teruma capable of transmitting impurity to other items? Rabba bar bar Ḥana said: It is the opinion of R' Yehoshua. As we learned in a Mishnah: R' Eliezer says: One who eats food with first degree ritual impurity status assumes first degree ritual impurity status, and anything with first degree ritual impurity status renders teruma impure. And one who eats food with second degree ritual impurity status assumes second degree ritual impurity status. One who eats food with third degree ritual impurity status assumes third degree ritual impurity status. R' Yehoshua says: One who eats food with first degree ritual impurity status and one who eats food with second degree ritual impurity status assume second degree ritual impurity status. One with second degree ritual impurity status who comes into contact with teruma disqualifies it and does not render it impure. One who eats food with third degree ritual impurity status assumes second degree ritual impurity status vis-à-vis consecrated items, and he does not assume second degree ritual impurity status vis-à-vis teruma. Eating an item with third degree ritual impurity status is only feasible in the case of non-sacred items, as eating impure teruma is prohibited. It is only possible in the case of non-sacred food items that were prepared as if their level of purity were on the level of the purity of teruma.
