Text Excerpt
וכי תימא דמבלע להו בהדי שבעה סממנין, ומעבר להו לכולהו כחד; והתנן: העבירן שלא כסדרן או שהעביר שבעתן כאחד – לא עשה ולא כלום!
The Talmud rejects a solution: And if you would say that the urine is absorbed together with the rest of the 7 abrasive substances used as laundering agents, and one applies all of them at once to the garment, such that the urine is not discernable separately, that is difficult: But didn’t we learn in a Mishnah that this method is invalid? The Mishnah states (Nidda 62a): If one applied them not according to their prescribed order, or if one applied all 7 substances simultaneously, he has done nothing, and the laundering has not been effective.
וכי תימא דמיבלע להו בהדי חד מסממנין – והא צריך לכסכס שלש פעמים בכל אחד ואחד תנן! אלא דמבלע להו ברוק תפל. דאמר ריש לקיש: רוק תפל צריך שיהא עם כל אחד ואחד.
The Talmud rejects another solution: And if you would say that the urine is absorbed together with only one of the cleansing substances, that is difficult: But didn’t we learn in that Mishnah: One must rub the garment 3 times with each and every one of those substances independently? The Talmud resolves: Rather, it must be explained that the urine is absorbed in tasteless saliva, which comes from one who has not eaten since waking; as Reish Lakish says: Tasteless saliva must accompany each and every one of the substances applied to the garment.
מתני׳ אחד שבישל בו ואחד שעירה לתוכו רותח, אחד קדשי (הקדשים) [קדשים] ואחד קדשים קלים – טעונין מריקה ושטיפה. רבי שמעון אומר: קדשים קלים אין טעונין מריקה ושטיפה.
Mishnah: Whether with regard to a copper vessel in which one cooked the meat of an offering or whether with regard to one into which one poured the boiling meat of an offering, whether the meat is from offerings of the most sacred order or whether it is from offerings of lesser sanctity, such vessels require scouring and rinsing. R' Shimon says: Vessels in which offerings of lesser sanctity were cooked or poured do not require scouring and rinsing.
