(接上面所引红母牛一节)不如说:这不过是众贤所立的更严的一层——按托拉之律,水尽可用一个器皿打上来,再在另一个器皿里分别为圣;众贤却定要在打水的那一个器皿里分别为圣,并在托拉里为这一层找了凭据。这里也一样:圣物染了不洁的,众贤立了更严的一层,定它不能靠栽在地里得洁。

不如说:这不过是众贤所立的一层更严的规矩——按托拉之律,水尽可用一个器皿打上来,再在另一个器皿里分别为圣。

众贤却定要在从泉里打水的那一个器皿里把它分别为圣,并在托拉里为自己这一说找了凭据。
The Sages added that this water must be sanctified in the same vessel in which it was drawn from the spring, and they found support for their opinion in the Torah.

Here too, the Sages established a higher standard for a consecrated object that became ritually impure, as they decreed that it cannot be ritually purified through insertion in the ground.
