墙地两属的,两边各半而算。偶像之所的石、木、土传不洁如爬物(申命记 7:26「שַׁקֵּץ תְּשַׁקְּצֶנּוּ」);拉比阿奇瓦 说如经期妇人(以赛亚书 30:22「כְּמוֹ דָוָה」)。拉巴 解「抛弃它们」为「待它如外人」,「对它说去罢」为「断不可对它说进来」。

那墙若是立在一半属他、一半属偶像之所的地上,便照两边各半而算:他从墙心退进四肘,在那里筑墙。
If the wall stood upon ground that belonged to him and to the house of idolatry, the area is calculated as half and half as far as moving into his property before rebuilding the wall, and one may build the wall four cubits from the middle of the wall.

偶像之所的石头、木料与尘土,传不洁如爬物一样——依众贤所定,摸着它们的人便如摸了爬物一样成为不洁,因为经上说:「可憎的物你不可带进家去,免得你成了当毁灭的,与那物一样。你要十分厌恶,十分憎嫌〔שַׁקֵּץ תְּשַׁקְּצֶנּוּ〕,因为这是当毁灭的物」(申命记 7:26)。
Its stones and its wood and its dust from the house of idolatry transmit impurity like creeping animals, and by rabbinic decree, one who touches them becomes impure like one who touches a creeping animal, as it is stated: “And you shall not bring an abomination into your house and become banned like it, you shall utterly detest it [shaketz teshaketzenu] and you shall utterly abhor it, for it is a banned object” (Deuteronomy 7:26).
-
「שַׁקֵּץ」正是论爬物所用的字。
Shaketz is a term used with regard to creeping animals.

拉比阿奇瓦 说:拜偶像之物传不洁如经期的妇人一样,因为经上说:「你要抛弃它们,好像抛弃污秽之物〔דָוָה〕」(以赛亚书 30:22)。
Rabbi Akiva says: Idolatry transmits impurity like a menstruating woman, as it is stated: “You will cast them away as you would a menstruating woman [dava]” (Isaiah 30:22).
-
经期的妇人怎样因人抬着而传不洁——人不摸着她、单是挪动她也成为不洁——拜偶像之物也照样因人抬着而传不洁。
Just as a menstruating woman transmits impurity imparted by carrying, as one who moves a menstruating woman without touching her becomes impure, so too, idolatry transmits impurity imparted by carrying.
-
拉巴 解那一句「你要抛弃它们」说:要待它们如外人一般,与你不相干。
Rabba said in explanation of that which the verse said: “You will cast them away”: Make them foreign to you like a stranger.
-
那一节末了说「你要对它说:去罢」,意思是:无论如何,你断不可对它说「进来」。
The end of the same verse: “You will tell it, get out” means that under no circumstances can you say to it, come in.
