unclean, "the plate" cannot make it accepted, as they say the Nazarite and
the celebrant of the passover have the uncleanness of the blood accepted
with "the plate." But "the plate" does not make the legal uncleanness of
the body of the paschal lamb accepted. If it be legally unclean with an
unknown uncleanness, the plate makes it accepted.

8. "If it be legally unclean in whole or in most part?" "The passover must
be burned in front of 'the palace'(171) with the wood of the altar." "A
little which is unclean, and that which is left over?" "The owners may
burn it in their own courts, or on their roofs with their own wood." The
stingy ones burnt it in front of the palace, that they might use the wood
of the altar.

9. "The passover which was carried out of the city, or became unclean?"
"The owner must burn it off-hand." "Its masters became unclean or died?"
"Let its appearance change, and let it be burned on the sixteenth."(172)

over in the clean, and broken in an unclean passover?" "He does not
receive the forty".

12. "A member partly displaced?" "One must cut in till he reach the bone,
and he must peel off the flesh till he reach the joint, and he cuts it
off. But in other holy offerings one may cleave the displaced members with
an axe, since there does not exist any (prohibition of) breaking the bone
for them." (For example), from the door-post and inwards is inside. From
the door-post and outwards is outside. The windows and thickness of the
wall are reckoned as inside.

13. "Two companies which eat the passover in one house?" "These turn their
faces to this side and eat; and those turn their faces to that side and
eat. And the boiler(173) is between the companies. The servant stands to
mix wine. The servant must shut his mouth till he serve the other company.
He afterward turns his face till he reach his own company, and then he m
