If a sheretz was found in the Temple, a Kohen may remove it with his sash, so as not to prolong the presence of the tumah-contamination — [these are] the words of R’ Yochanan ben Berokah. R’ Yehudah says: With wooden tongs, so as not to increase the contamination. From where do we remove it? From the Temple, the Antechamber, and be-tween the Antechamber and the Altar — [these are] the words of R’ Shimon ben Nanas. R’ Akiva says: The area for which one incurs kares for an intentional transgression and a sin offering for unintentional transgression — from there we must remove it; but all other areas, we cover it with a pot. R’ Shimon says: Wherever the Sages have granted a dispensation, they have given you what is yours, for they have not permitted except that which is a Rabbinical decree.
