3. “If men anointed (basted) it with oil of the heave-offering?” “If it be a company of priests, they may eat it.” “If it be a company of Israelites?” “If it be raw they can wash it away.” “But if roast?” “They must peel off the surface.” “If it was anointed with oil of the second tithe?” “Its value in money must not be charged to the members of the company, because they cannot redeem(164) the second tithes in Jerusalem.” 4. Five things may be brought during legal uncleanness, but they must not be eaten in legal uncleanness: the sheaf,(165) the two wave loaves,(166) and the shewbread,(167) sacrifices of peace-offerings of the congregation,(168) and the kids(169) on the feast of the New Moon. The passover which was brought during legal uncleanness, may be eaten in uncleanness, because in the beginning the command came only for eating. 5. “If the flesh be legally unclean and the fat unpolluted?” “The priest must not sprinkle its blood on the altar.” “If the fat be unclean and the flesh unpolluted?” “The priest may sprinkle its blood.” But with other holy offerings it is not so, for though their flesh be unclean, and their fat remains unpolluted, the priest may sprinkle their blood on the altar. 6. “If the congregation be legally unclean, or its majority, or the priests be legally unclean, and the congregation legally clean?” “The passover may be kept in legal uncleanness.” “If the minority of the congregation be legally unclean?” “The clean majority can keep the first, and the unclean minority the second passover” (on the fourteenth day of the following month). 7. When the blood of the passover-offering was poured on the altar, and it was afterward known that it was unclean, the (golden)(170) plate of the High Priest makes it accepted. When the body of the paschal sacrifice was unclean, “the plate” cannot make it accepted, as they say the Nazarite and the celebrant of the passover have the uncleanness of the blood accepted with “the plate.” But “the plate” does not make the legal uncleanness of the body of the paschal lamb accepted. If it be legally unclean with an unknown uncleanness, the plate makes it accepted. 8. “If it be legally unclean in whole or in most part?” “The passover must be burned in front of ‘the palace’(171) with the wood of the altar.” “A little which is unclean, and that which is left over?” “The owners may burn it in their own courts, or on their roofs with their own wood.” The stingy ones burnt it in front of the palace, that they might use the wood of the altar. 9. “The passover which was carried out of the city, or became unclean?” “The owner must burn it off-hand.” “Its masters became unclean or died?” “Let its appearance change, and let it be burned on the sixteenth.”(172) Rabbi Jochanan, the son of Beruka, said, “even it must be burned off-hand, because it has no one to eat it.”
