承叶十四正末句:所说的灯是铜铁所造。民数记 19:16「凡在田野摸被刀杀的、或是自死的、或是人的骨头、或是坟墓,就要七天不洁净」——众贤由「被刀杀的」一语推出:金属的刀在不洁的等次上与所杀之人同。故金属器皿一触尸体便与尸体同列不洁之源;触着染尸不洁之人或器的,亦然。而 拉比阿奇瓦 以为:把那受第三等不洁的油,借这金属的灯转受头一等不洁,是许的。

经上说:「凡在田野摸被刀杀的,或是自死的,或是人的骨头,或是坟墓,就要七天不洁净」(民数记 19:16)。
“And whoever touches one who is slain with a sword in the open field, or one who dies on his own, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days” (Numbers 19:16).
-
众贤由「被刀杀的」一语推出:金属的刀在不洁的等次上,与那被杀之人同列。
The Sages derived from the phrase: One who is slain with a sword, that the legal status of a metal sword in terms of its degree of impurity is like that of one who is slain.
-
凡金属器皿因触着尸体而受不洁的,便与尸体同列——尸体是至重的不洁之源。
Any metal vessel that becomes impure through contact with a corpse assumes the impurity status of a corpse, the ultimate primary source of ritual impurity.
-
金属器皿触着染了尸体之不洁的人或器的,也是一样。
The same is true with regard to a metal vessel that came into contact with a person or vessel that became impure with impurity imparted by a corpse.
-
在那样的光景里,那金属器皿便与那人或那器同列;故这一盏金属的灯,本身就是一个不洁之源。
In that case the metal vessel assumes the impurity status of that person or vessel, and therefore, this metal lamp is a primary source of impurity.
-
而 拉比阿奇瓦 以为:把那受第三等不洁的油,借这金属的灯转受头一等的不洁,是许的。
And yet Rabbi Akiva maintains that it is permitted to render this oil, which is impure with third-degree impurity, impure with first-degree impurity through contact with the metal lamp.
