במאי אילימא בטומאת שרץ האמרת שוחטין וזורקין על טומאת שרץ אלא טומאת מת וקתני אין הציץ מרצה אלמא נטמאו בעלים במת אין משלחין קרבנותיהם

- The Elders of the south do not assimilate [them].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Since only 'number' is repeated, but not 'eating'.');">⁵</span> Yet even if they do not assimilate [them], there is still the same refutation: If a priest who was defiled by a reptile cannot propitiate, though if the owners were defiled by a reptile they can send their sacrifices at the very outset; is it not logical that a priest who was defiled through a corpse shoul not be able to propitiate, seeing that if the owners were defiled through a corpse they cannot send their sacrifices at the very outset?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For the Elders of the south merely maintain that if they sent their sacrifices and had them slaughtered, they do not bring a second Passover. But they must of course admit that they must not send them in the first place. - The objection remains unanswered.');">⁶</span>
