承叶二十正末句:故经上论爬物说「凡有死了掉在瓦器里的,其中不拘有什么,就必不洁净,你们要把这瓦器打破了」(利未记 11:33),紧接着又说「其中一切可吃的食物,沾水的就必不洁净」(11:34)——可见受瓦器空处所染的是食物,不是凡器皿。这条 《巴拉伊塔》 便证明瓦器自身算不得装满了爬物之尸,故它不使其中之物一概受头一等的不洁。

故经上论爬物说:「凡有死了的掉在瓦器里的,其中不拘有什么,就必不洁净,你们要把这瓦器打破了」(利未记 11:33)。
Therefore, the verse states with regard to creeping animals: “And every earthenware vessel into which any of them falls, whatever is in it shall be impure, and you shall break it” (Leviticus 11:33).
-
紧接着又说:「其中一切可吃的食物,沾水的就必不洁净」(利未记 11:34)。
And juxtaposed to it is the verse: “From all food in it which may be eaten, upon which water comes, shall be impure” (Leviticus 11:34).
-
可见受瓦器空处所染而成不洁的是食物,并非凡器皿都受瓦器空处所染。
This indicates that food is rendered impure by the airspace of an earthenware vessel, but not all vessels are rendered impure by the airspace of an earthenware vessel.
-
这条 《巴拉伊塔》 便证明:那瓦器自身算不得装满了爬物之尸,故它不使其中一切之物都受头一等的不洁。
This baraita proves that the earthenware vessel itself is not considered to be filled with carcasses of creeping animals, and therefore it does not render everything inside it impure with first-degree impurity.
-
那瓦器若当真算作装满了不洁的,其中的器皿也当受头一等的不洁才是。
Were the earthenware vessel indeed considered as if it were filled with impurity, vessels inside it would also assume first-degree ritual impurity.
