3. “A dried fig of the heave-offering which has fallen into water for purification, and one has taken it out and eaten it?” “If it be the size of an egg, whether it be unclean or clean, the water is unclean, and he who ate it is guilty of death.” R. José said, “if it be clean the water is clean.” He who was cleansed for the sin-offering, and afterward put his head and the greater part of his body into water of purification, is unclean. 4. Everyone charged by the words of the Law to enter water, renders unclean holy things, and the heave-offering and ordinary things and the tithe, and is prevented from entering the temple. “After entering (the water) he renders unclean holy things, and disallows the heave-offering,” the words of R. Meier, but the Sages say, “he disallows holy things and the heave-offering, but he is permitted in ordinary things and tithes, and if he came to the temple, whether before or after entering (water), he is a debtor (to the Law).” 5. “Everyone charged by the words of the Scribes to enter water, renders unclean holy things, and disallows the heave-offering, but allows ordinary things and the tithes,” the words of R. Meier; but the Sages “disallow him in tithes.” After his entering (water) he is permitted in all these. And if he come to the temple whether before or after entering water, he is free. 6. Everyone charged to enter water, whether by the words of the Law or the words of the Scribes, renders unclean the water for purification and the ashes for purification, and the sprinkler of the water of purification, by touching or lifting. “The hyssop, and the water without ashes, and empty vessels cleansed for purification (render unclean), by touching or lifting,” the words of R. Meier; but the Sages say, “by touching, but not by lifting.” 7. All hyssop which has a distinctive name is forbidden, simple hyssop is allowed; Grecian hyssop, colored hyssop, Roman hyssop, desert hyssop, are forbidden, and that of the unclean heave-offering is forbidden, but if it were of the clean (heave-offering) one should not sprinkle with it, but if one sprinkled with it, it is allowed. Men must not sprinkle with the sprouts or the berries of hyssop. When sprinkled with the sprouts, they are not prevented from entering the temple. R. Eliezer said, “not even with the berries.” These are sprouts—stalks which have not ripened. 8. Hyssop used for sprinkling is allowed to cleanse the leper. “If one gathered it for wood, and fluid fell on it?” “He may dry it, and it is allowed.” “If one gathered it for food, and fluid fell on it?” “Even though he dried it, it is disallowed.” “If one gathered it for purification?” “It is reckoned as food,” the words of R. Meier. R. Judah and R. José and R. Simon say, “it is reckoned as wood.”
