למה שמנו חכמים אדרבה למה שמנו חכמים אין להם עור ואמר אביי הכי קאמר אין עור חלוק מבשר אלא למה שלא מנו חכמים אמר ליה רבא הא למה שמנו חכמים קאמר אלא אמר רבא הכי קאמר אין עור מטמא כבשר אלא למה שמנו חכמים מכלל דרבי יוחנן בן נורי הנך נמי דלא מנו חכמים מטמאין והא קתני ר' יוחנן בן נורי אומר ח' שרצים יש להן עורות ולא מטמאין [אמר רב] אדא בר מתנה תריץ הכי וחכמים אומרים לענין טומאה אין עור למה שמנו חכמים

[Whereon it was asked]: On the contrary, Those which the Sages enumerated have no skin?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Since their skin is the same as their flesh. ');"><sup>1</sup></span> And 'Abaye said, This is what he [the Tanna] states: Only those not enumerated by the Sages have a skin distinct from the flesh.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' But those enumerated by them have no skin distinct from the flesh, and consequently wounding them involves no liability. On this interpretation the Rabbis differ even in respect of the Sabbath, which contradicts Rab. But on the following explanations there is no difficulty. ');"><sup>2</sup></span>

Mishnah Eduyot

They stated three things before Rabbi Yishmael, and he pronounced none of them either unlawful or lawful; and Rabbi Joshua ben Matya explained them.One who lances an abscess on the Sabbath: if it was to make an opening he is liable; if it was to bring out the pus, he is exempt. And concerning one who hunts a snake on the Sabbath: that if he was occupied with it in order that it should not bite him, he is innocent; but if that he might use it as a remedy, he is guilty. And concerning Ironian stewpots: that they do not contract impurity when under the same tent as a corpse; but become impure if they are carried by a zav. Rabbi Eliezer ben Zadok says: “Even if they are carried by a zav they remain pure, because they are unfinished.”
