Commentary for Kiddushin 44:2
אלא הייתי אומר ירצענה לאזן מאבראי ויניחנה על הדלת וידקור כנגד אזנו בדלת תלמוד לומר באזנו ובדלת הא כיצד דוקר והולך עד שמגיע אצל דלת
- But I would say, the ear is to be bored outside and then placed on the door and a hole bored through the door opposite the ear:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., from the other side of the door (Rashi) .');"><sup>3</sup></span> therefore it is stated, ['an thou shalt thrust it] through his ear unto the door'. How so?
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
The Talmud clarifies how the boring is to be done. The master is not to put a hole in the ear and then another one through the door. Rather, he puts the slave’s ear up to the door and then he puts a hole in the ear until it gets to the door. Seems like a smart way of doing this!
