Beis Shammai say: We may bring shelamim [on Yom Tov] without leaning on them, but [we may] not [bring] olos.  Beis Hillel say: We may bring [both] shelamim and olos, and we may lean on them.

[If] Shavuos falls on the eve of the Sabbath, Beis Shammai say: The day of slaughter is after the Sabbath. Beis Hillel say: There is no day of slaughter after the Sabbath. They concur that if it fell on the Sabbath, the day of slaughter is after the Sabbath.  The Kohen Gadol does not don his [special] garments [on that day]; moreover, they are permitted to eulogize and fast, in order not to confirm the view of those who say that Shavuos is always [the day] after the Sabbath.

We must wash the hands for unsanctified food, for maaser, and for terumah; but for kodesh we must immerse [the hands].  Regarding the [water of] cleansing, if one's hands became contaminated, his [entire] body is [considered] contaminated.

[If] one immersed himself for unsanctified food and [only] intended [to cleanse himself] for unsanctified food, he is prohibited from [eating] maaser. [If] he immersed himself for maaser and [only] intended [to cleanse himself] for maaser, he is prohibited from [eating] terumah. [If] he immersed himself for terumah and [only] intended [to cleanse himself] for terumah, he is prohibited from [eating] kodesh. [If] he immersed himself for kodesh and [only] intended [to cleanse himself] for kodesh, he is prohibited [from touching] water of cleansing.  [If] he immersed himself for a more stringent matter, he is permitted [to occupy himself with] a less stringent matter.  [If] he immersed himself without any intention, [it is deemed] as if he had not immersed himself.

The garments of an am haaretz have midras [-contamination] for perushim. Garments of perushim have midras[-contamination] for those who eat terumah. Garments of those who eat terumah have midras[-contamination] for [those who eat] kodesh. Garments of [those who eat] kodesh have midras[-contamination] for [those who handle] purification water.  Yosef ben Yoezer was the most devout of the Kohanim; yet his napkin was [deemed to have] midras[-contamination] for [those who eat] kodesh.  Yochanan ben Gudgada used to eat according to the purity [regulations] of kodesh all his life; yet his napkin was [deemed to have] midras[-contamination] for [those who handle] purification water.

The stringency of kodesh compared to terumah is [as follows]:  (a) We may immerse vessels within [other] vessels for terumah, but not for kodesh.  (b) The bottom, the inside, and the handle [are considered separate vessels] as regards terumah, but not as regards kodesh.  (c) Someone carrying a midras may [simultaneously] carry terumah, but not kodesh.  (d) The garments of those who eat terumah have midras[-contamination] for [those who eat] kodesh.  (e) Unlike the rule of kodesh is the rule of terumah; for in the case of [immersing garments to be worn while handling] kodesh, one must untie [the knots], dry, immerse, and then retie [them]; but in [the case of] terumah, one may tie and then immerse.

(f) Vessels that were completed in a state of taharah require immersion for [use with] kodesh, but not for [use with] terumah.  (g) A vessel combines whatever is in it with regard to kodesh, but not with regard to terumah.  (h) The fourth degree [of contamination] in the case of kodesh is invalid, but [only] a third degree [is invalid] in the case of terumah.  (i) In the case of terumah, if one of a person's hands became contaminated, the other one is [still] pure; but in the case of kodesh, he must immerse them both, for one hand contaminates the other as regards kodesh, but not as regards terumah.

(j) We may eat dry food with contaminated hands if [the foods are] terumah, but not if they are kodesh.  (k) The onein and one who needs to bring an atonement-offering require immersion for [eating] kodesh, but not for [eating] terumah.

The stringency of terumah is [as follows]:  (a) In Judea [the ammei haaretz] are believed concerning the taharah of wine and oil throughout the year; and during the wine-pressing and olive-pressing seasons [the ammei haaretz are believed] even concerning terumah.  [If] the wine-pressing and olive-pressing [seasons] have passed, and they then brought him a barrel of wine of terumah, he should not accept it from them; but he may set it aside for the next wine-pressing season. However, if he told him: “Within it I have separated a fourth [of a log] as kodesh,” he is believed.  (b) [Concerning] jugs of wine or jugs of oil that are [still] mingled, they are believed about them during the wine-pressing and the olive-pressing season, and [even for] seventy days prior to the wine-pressing [season].

(c) From Modin inward, they are believed concerning earthenware vessels. From Modin outward, they are not believed. How so? If the potter selling the pots came inward of Modin —- regarding the very potter, the very pots, and the very purchasers —- he is believed; [but] if he left, he is not believed.

(d) Tax collectors who entered a house, and likewise thieves who returned utensils [they had stolen], are believed to say: “We did not touch [them].”  (e) In Jerusalem they are believed concerning kodesh [the entire year], and during the festival season [they are believed] even concerning terumah.

[If] one opens his barrel or begins using his dough for festival needs, R' Yehudah says: He may finish [selling after the festival]. The Sages say: He may not finish.  Once the festival was over, they would remove [everything] to facilitate the cleansing of the Temple Courtyard. If the day after the festival was Friday, they would not remove [the vessels], in deference to the honor of the Sabbath.  R' Yehudah says: Not even [if the day after the festival was] Thursday, because the Kohanim were not free.

How did they go about removing [everything] for the cleansing of the Temple Courtyard? They immersed the vessels that were in the Temple, after they had said to them: `'Be careful not to touch the Table [and the Menorah] [lest you] contaminate it.”  All the vessels that were [used] in the Tem-ple had second and third [replacement] sets so that if the first ones became contaminated, they would bring the second ones to replace them.  All the vessels that were [used] in the Temple require immersion except for the Golden Altar and the Copper Altar, because they are like earth —- these are the words of R' Eliezer. The Sages say: Because they are plated.
