ולרבינא דאמר חיבורי אוכלין לאו חיבור הוא וכמאן דמפרתי דמי מאי איכא למימר הא קנגע בהדדי וקא מטמא אלא למאן דמתני כזית דלית ביה כזית ומאן דמתני כביצה דלית ביה כביצה

Do we say, they imposed uncleanness on nothar because they [the priests] might come to be lazy about it; but [concerning] that which goes outside, they will [certainly] not carry it out with [their own] hands, [and so] the Rabbis did not decree uncleanness in connection therewith. Or perhaps there is no difference? - Come and hear: If part of a limb went outside, he cuts [the flesh] as far as the bone and pares it until he reaches t joint and then cuts it off.
