Commentary for Chullin 235:28

לכתוב רחמנא בזרעים וליתו הנך מינייהו מה לזרעים שכן טומאתן מרובה

'Unto you', that is, everything that you make use of [with regard to it is unclean]; thus the verse includes handles.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., that a handle can convey the uncleanness from an external source to the vessel. There being, therefore, two verses each teaching the law that a handle can convey uncleanness to the bulk, one would be utilized to teach the law that handles can convey uncleanness from the bulk. Consequently, now that handles can convey uncleanness to and from the bulk, the verse (ibid. 37) with regard to a protection is entirely superfluous, for it would have been inferred by an a fortiori argument from handles; it must serve therefore to teach the law that the protection is to be included together with the bulk to make up the requisite minimum quantity.');">¹⁹</span>
