He [R' Akiva] would also say: There are five things that are of twelve months' duration: The judgment of the Generation of the Flood [was administered over a period of] twelve months.  The judgment of Job [was over] twelve months.  The judg-ment of the Egyptians [was over] twelve months.  The judgment of Gog and [his nation] Magog in the Future to Come [will occur over a period of] twelve months.  And the judgment of evildoers in Gehinnom [endures for] twelve months, as it is stated: And it will be from a month to its month. R' Yochanan ben Nuri says: [The judgment of evildoers takes place] from Pesach to Shavuos, as it is stated: from a Sabbath to its Sabbath.

[If] any of the parts that convey tumah through ohel were divided and one brought [the pieces] into a house, R' Dosa ben Horkinas rules [that the person remains] tahor, but the Sages rule [that he becomes] tamei. How so? If one [simultaneously] touches two half-olive-sized [pieces] of neveilah or carries them; or, in the case of a corpse, if one touches a half-olive-sized piece while he forms a “roof” over a half-olive-sized piece, or if one touches a half-olive-sized [piece] while [another] half-olive-sized [piece] forms a “roof” over him, or he forms a “roof” over two half-olive-sized [pieces, or] he forms a “roof” over [one] half-olive-sized [piece] while [another] half-olive-sized [piece] forms a “roof” over him; [in each of these cases,] R' Dosa ben Horkinas rules [that the person remains] tahor, while the Sages rule [that he becomes] tamei. But if one touches a half-olive-sized [piece of a corpse] while something forms a roof over him and over [another] half-olive-sized [piece], or if one forms a roof over a half-olive-sized piece while something forms a roof over him and over another half-olive-sized piece, [he remains] tahor. R' Meir said: Even in this case, R' Dosa rules [that the person remains] tahor and the Sages rule [that he becomes] tamei. [In] every case [where a person is subject to tumah from two undersized pieces of a corpse, the Sages maintain that he be-comes] tamei, except [for a combination of] touch and carrying, or carrying and “roof.” This is the rule [according to the Sages:] Any [two associations] from the same category [render the person] tamei, whereas from two [different] categories [leave him] tahor.

Separate pieces of tamei food do not combine, these are the words of R' Dosa ben Horkinas. But the Sages say: It does com-bine. One can deconsecrate maaser sheni onto an unstamped coin, [these are] the words of R' Dosa. But the Sages say: One cannot deconsecrate [maaser sheni in this manner]. One must immerse [his] hands [in a mikveh] for [the] chatas [water], these are the words of R' Dosa. But the Sages say: If one's hands had become tamei, his [entire] body is [treated as though it had become] tamei.

The insides of a melon and that which is cut from a vegetable that are terumah, R' Dosa permits [their consumption] by non-Kohanim, but the Sages prohibit [their consumption by non-Kohanim]. Five sheep, each of which is shorn of [wool that weighs] a maneh and a half, are subject to the [law of the] first fleece, these are the words of R' Dosa. But the Sages say: Five sheep [shorn of wool that weighs] any amount [are subject to the obli-gation].
