[Regarding] a kneading bowl that is a tevul yom, we may knead a dough in it and separate challah from it, and she brings [the piece] close and orally designates it [as challah], because [the dough] is a shlishi, and a shlishi is tahor in the case of chullin.

[Regarding] a pitcher that is a tevul yom that one filled from a barrel of maaser [that is] tevel, if he said: ‘‘This [wine] shall be terumas maaser after dark,’’ it is terumas maaser.

[If] the pitcher breaks, the [wine in the] barrel remains tevel.

Originally [the Rabbis] said: We may deconsecrate onto the produce of an am haaretz. [The Rabbis] later said: Even onto his coins. Originally [the Rabbis] said: [If] one is going out in chains and he said, ‘‘Write a get for my wife,’’ they should write [the get] and give [it].

Ashkelonian grapnels that broke, but their hook remains intact, are tamei. The pitchfork, the winnowing fork, the rake, and similarly a head comb, that had one of their prongs removed and one replaced them with [a prong] of metal, they are tamei. Concerning all of these R’ Yehoshua said: The Scribes have introduced a novel principle and I cannot answer it.
