(Mishnah): [The following] are stringencies of Kodesh over Terumah. We may immerse Kelim inside Kelim for Terumah, but not for Kodesh. [We distinguish] the inside and outside [of a Kli] and Beis Tzevi'ah (a cavity in the wall through which one can hold the Kli) for Terumah, but not for Kodesh (any place on the Kli is Metamei the entire Kli for Kodesh). One who carries a Midras (Mishkav of a Zav) may carry Terumah, but not Kodesh. Clothes of Ochlei Terumah are [considered] Midras for Kodesh.

The Midah of Kodesh is unlike the Midah of Terumah. For Kodesh, one unties [a garment] and dries it, and afterwards he immerses it. For Terumah, one may tie and afterwards immerse it.

(Gemara - R. Chiya citing R. Yochanan): [We are more stringent for Kodesh, because] Ochlei Terumah are zealous (they regularly eat it), but Ochlei Kodesh are not zealous.

Question (Chananyah, to R. Mana): [If so,] is this a Mailah (a stringency of Kodesh due to its severity?! Only) if something was equal [concern for transgression] in this and this, and this we are Metamei, and this we are Metaher, this is a Mailah!

Answer (R. Mana): We can say that [it is a Mailah] for one who needs [to regularly eat] Kodesh. (Even though he is as zealous as Ochlei Terumah, we are more stringent about Kodesh.)

(R. La citing R. Yochanan): If something was the weight of a Litra (almost half a kilo), we may not immerse it [in another Kli, even for Terumah].

Aba Sha'ul says, even for Terumah we may not immerse [in another Kli] only a basket and a big wicker basket. (They are light, porous and have big openings.)

(R. Yochanan): Aba Sha'ul and R. Shimon both said the same matter;

(Mishnah): If one holds a person or Kelim and immerses them, they are Temei'im (there is a Chatzitzah where he holds them). If he rinsed his hands [beforehand], they are Tehorim (the water on his hands joins with the Mikveh water).

R. Shimon says, he must loosen [his grip on them] until water comes to them.

Retraction (R. Yochanan): Presumably, R. Shimon agrees to Aba Sha'ul (that even for Terumah we permit Kli b'Soch Kli only for a basket and a big wicker basket). Aba Sha'ul does not agree with R. Shimon (Aba Sha'ul holds that the water on his hands joins to the Mikveh. We explained this like PNEI MOSHE.)

(Rabanan of Kisarin citing R. Yochanan): The Halachah follows Aba Sha'ul.

Support (Beraisa): The Halachah follows [Aba Sha'ul's] words.

(R. Yonah): Our Mishnah is like R. Meir, but Chachamim say that we do so (immerse Kli b'Soch Kli even for Kodesh).

[The law of Beis Tzevi'ah is different for Terumah,] for it is not [like] the inside (rather, it is like the outside). A Kli Kodesh is totally inside (there is no distinction. We explained this like PNEI MOSHE, SHA'AREI TORAS ERETZ YISRAEL.)

(R. Yonah citing R. Chiya bar Aba): A case occurred in which seven Chachamim entered to be Me'aber the year in the valley of Rimon. Who were they? R. Meir, R. Yehudah, R. Yosi, R. Shimon, R. Nechemyah, R. Eliezer ben Yakov and R. Yochanan ha'Sandlar;

They said, how many Mailos are in Kodesh [over] Terumah? R. Meir says, there are 13. R. Yosi says, there are 12.

R. Meir: So I heard from R. Akiva, 13!

R. Yochanan ha'Sandlar: I served R. Akiva standing (haphazardly) more than you served sitting (in a fixed way, and I never heard this from him)!

They said, R. Yochanan ha'Sandlar is from Alexander, and his words are true.

[Even though R. Yochanan ha'Sandlar spoke sharply,] they kissed when they left.

Anyone who did not have a Talis, his colleague cut half of his Talis, and gave to him.

Why did they do so? All of them expounded the following verse in seven ways (and it is improper to expound without a Talis) - "Ashirah Na li'Ydidi Shiras Dodi l'Charmi.''

They praised the last one, that he found new ways to expound it. They say that R. Shimon ben Yochai [was last].

Question: What pushed them to do so (be Me'aber the year in Chutz la'Aretz)?

Answer: They expounded "Elohei Masechah Lo Sa'aseh Lach'' - what is written after it? "Es Chag ha'Matzos Tishmor'' (be Me'aber years in order that Pesach will be at the start of spring). Anyone who could be Me'aber the year, and is not Me'aber it, it is as if he serves idolatry.

When it was time to go, they said "let us make a commemoration of our deeds''. They saw a big rock. Each one took a nail and inserted it in it. [Miraculously,] it sunk in, like into a dough. Until today, it is called the rock of nails. (YEFEI MAR'EH)
