R' Yehoshua ben Beseira testified concerning the blood of neveilos that it is tahor. R' Shimon ben Beseira testified concerning the ash of the chatas [parah adumah ashes] that if a tamei touched part of it, he has rendered all of it tamei. R' Akiva added regarding the fine flour [of minchah-offerings], the incense [used for the twice-daily incense-offering in the Temple], the frankincense [used with various minchah-offerings], and the coals [of the Altar] that [if] a tevul yom touched part of them, he has rendered the whole of them unfit.

R' Yehudah ben Bava and R' Yehudah HaKohen testified concerning a minor, the daughter of a Yisrael, who married a Kohen, that she may eat terumah once she has entered the chuppah, even though her marriage has not yet been consummated. R' Yose the Kohen and R' Zecharyah ben HaKatzav testified concerning a young girl who was given as a pledge in Ash-kelon and her family [thereafter] distanced her. However, her witnesses testified regarding her that she had not secluded her-self and had not been violated. The Sages said to [the family]: If you believe that she was given as a pledge, believe [as well] that she did not seclude herself [with an idolater] and was not violated. And if you do not believe that she did not seclude herself and that she was not violated, do not believe that she was given as a pledge.

R' Yehoshua and R' Yehudah ben Beseira testified concerning an issah widow, that she is permitted to marry into the Kehunah; [and] that an issah family is permitted to render tamei or tahor, to distance or to bring closer. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel said to them: We accept your testimony, but what can we do [about this in practice] when Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai has decreed not to seat courts for this purpose? [For] the Kohanim [will] heed you to distance, but not to bring close.

R' Yose ben Yoezer, the leader of Tzereidah, testified about the Ayal grasshopper [that it is] tahor, and [he testified] about the beverages of the Temple's butchering place that they are tahor, and [he testified] that one who touched a corpse is tamei. And they called him “Yose the Permitter.”
