זבחים 95:1
Soncino English Talmud · Berean Standard Bible
That is by Rabbinical law [only]. IF AN EARTHEN VESSEL WAS CARRIED OUTSIDE etc. But the Divine Law spoke of a ‘vessel’, and this is not a vessel? — The hole is only large enough for a little root. IF A BRAZEN VESSEL... IT MUST BE BROKEN THROUGH etc. But then it is not a vessel? — He hammers [the hole] together. Resh Lakish said: If the [priest's] robe became unclean, one must take it in less than three [fingerbreadths] square at a time, and wash it, because it is said, That it [the robe] be not rent. R. Adda b. Ahabah objected: Thick [garments] and soft [unwoven garments] are not subject to the law of three [fingerbreadths] square? -They count, because of the parent [piece]. But surely it requires seven substances, for R. Nahman said in Rabbah b. Abbuha's name: The blood of the sin-offering and the appearance of leprosy require seven substances; whereas it was taught: But that urine may not be taken into the Temple?8
