Quotation for Shabbat 215:7

מניין למילה שבאותו מקום נאמר כאן ערלתו ונאמר להלן ערלתו מה להלן דבר שעושה פרי אף כאן דבר שעושה פרי אימא לבו דכתיב (דברים י, טז) ומלתם את ערלת לבבכם אימא אזנו דכתיב (ירמיהו ו, י) הנה ערלה אזנם דנין ערלתו תמה מערלתו תמה ואין דנין ערלתו תמה מערלת שאינה תמה

How do we know that circumcision [must be performed] in that [particular] place? — 'His 'orlah'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Gen. XVII, 14, in connection with circumcision (E.V. foreskin). ');"><sup>16</sup></span> is stated here, and 'its 'orlah'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. XIX, 23, in reference to the fruit of a tree within the first three years of its planting, which may not be eaten (E.V. uncircumcision). ');"><sup>17</sup></span> is stated elsewhere: just as there something that produces fruit [is meant], so here too something [the limb] that produces fruit [is meant]. Perhaps it means the heart, for it is written, Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Deut. X, 16. This question of course was not mentioned seriously, but was put merely to point out that 'circumcision' is mentioned in connection with other organs too. ');"><sup>18</sup></span>

Mishnah Kelim

The following vessels protect their contents when they have a tightly fitting cover: those made of cattle dung, of stone, of clay, of earthenware, of sodium carbonate, of the bones of a fish or of its skin, or of the bones of any animal of the sea or of its skin, and wooden vessels that are always clean. They protect whether the covers close their mouths or their sides, whether they stand on their bottoms or lean on their sides. If they were turned over with their mouths downwards they afford protection to all that is beneath them to the nethermost deep. Rabbi Eliezer declares this unclean. These protect everything, except that an earthen vessel protects only foods, liquids and earthen vessels.
