1)[line 2]ãáø ùàéðå î÷áì èåîàäDAVAR SHE'EINO MEKABEL TUM'AH
(a)The Torah states that utensils made of certain types of material can become Teme'im if they are touched by a person or object that is an Av ha'Tum'ah, of if they are under the same Ohel as a dead person (Vayikra 11:32, Bamidbar 31:20). This includes utensils made of wood, fabric (wool, linen, canvas, etc.), leather, sack (made of goat hair), and bone.
(b)However, since the Torah compares the above mentioned materials to a sack ("Sak"), they must have certain qualities in common with a sack in order to become Tamei (Gemara Chagigah 26b). Among these qualities are:
1.The object must have a receptacle, i.e. an area in which it can contain other objects, as opposed to a flat board (with the exception of a "Tavla ha'Mis'hapeches" — see Background to Menachos 96:34:c). Objects that do not have receptacles are called "Peshutei Klei Etz."
2.It must not be large enough to hold 40 Se'ah, for if it is that large it cannot be transported when filled, as opposed to a sack, which is made to be transported either empty or full.
3.It must be an object that is sometimes transported, and not one that is always stationary. If it is left stationary, it is called a "Kli he'Asuy l'Nachas" and is not Mekabel Tum'ah.
(c)Examples of Davar she'Eino Mekabel Tum'ah are stone utensils, Peshutei Klei Etz, natural ground and things that are attached to the ground.

These sinews are the Chevek (RASHI); (b) the place where the loop is attached to the sock (ARUCH as cited by TOSFOS); (c) the place where the leg meets the thigh in a squatting position.

31)[line 38]ìòðéï úøåîäL'INYAN TERUMAH (TERUMAH: HEFSEDO)
(a)After a crop is harvested and brought to the owner's house or yard, he must separate Terumah Gedolah from the crop and give it to a Kohen. Although the Torah does not specify the amount to be given, the Rabanan set the requirement at one fiftieth of the total crop. After Terumah is removed from the produce, one tenth of the produce that remains must be designated "Ma'aser Rishon," and given to a Levi. The Levi, in turn, must separate one tenth of his Ma'aser Rishon as Terumas Ma'aser, to be given to a Kohen, as it states in Bamidbar 18:26.
(b)A non-Kohen may not eat Terumah or Terumas Ma'aser. Even Kohanim and their families and slaves may not eat Terumah unless they and the Terumah are Tehorim (ritually pure). A Kohen who is Tamei who eats Terumah that is Tehorah is liable to Misah b'Yedei Shamayim, as is learned from the verse in Vayikra 22:9.
(c)If Terumah becomes Teme'ah, it may not be eaten, as the Torah states, "b'Chol Kodesh Lo Siga" (Vayikra 12:4). In addition, there is a Mitzvah to burn it (Shabbos 25a). The Rishonim argue whether this is a Mitzvah d'Oraisa or a Mitzvah d'Rabanan (see Background to Shabbos 23:44). The Kohanim may benefit from it while it is being burned, such as by using it as fuel for a fire (Shabbos 25b).
(d)It is forbidden, by the Torah, to actively destroy Terumah and Kodshim or to cause them to become Teme'im, as is derived from the verse, "Es Mishmeres Terumosi" — "the guard of My Terumos" (Bamidbar 18:8), which implies that Terumah (and Kodshim) must be guarded.
(e)The Mishnah cited by our Gemara (Terumos 8:2) states that if a Kohen is eating Terumah and tastes that he has a Pishpesh in his mouth (which is prohibited to be eaten, since it is a Sheretz — see Background to Me'ilah 15:10:c), he is permitted to spit out whatever is in his mouth, even if the Terumah will be spoiled due to his actions.
32)[line 39]éôìåèYIFLOT- he should spit it out
33)[line 42]ãå÷øúDOKRAS- a place that had many butcher shops, garbage heaps and creeping things
34)[line 44]òã åòã áëììAD V'AD B'CHLAL
The word "Ad," "until," when used in any phrase, usually has two possible meanings. It may mean "Ad v'Ad bi'Chelal," "until and including [the target of the phrase]," or "Ad v'Lo Ad bi'Chelal" - "until but not including [the target of the phrase]."
35)[line 50]ëâøéñ ëéúø îëâøéñK'GRIS K'YESER MIK'GRIS- a Kesem that is the size of a Gris has the same Halachah as a Kesem that is larger than a Gris and is Tamei
