היה לבוש כליו וסנדליו ברגליו וטבעותיו באצבעותיו הוא טמא מיד והן טהורים עד שישהה בכדי אכילת פרס פת חטין ולא פת שעורין מיסב ואוכל בליפתן

(דברים ח, ח) ארץ זית שמן (ודבש) ארץ שכל שיעוריה כזיתים כל שיעוריה סלקא דעתך הא איכא הני דאמרינן אלא אימא שרוב שיעוריה כזיתים

"A land of olive-oil" [is an allusion to the] land all of whose [minimum] standards [for mandated and forbidden things] is the bulk of an olive. How can it possibly mean all minimum measures?

אלמא דאורייתא נינהו ותסברא שיעורין מי כתיבי אלא הלכתא נינהו וקרא אסמכתא בעלמא הוא

שערו נמי דאורייתא נינהו דכתיב ורחץ את בשרו במים את הטפל לבשרו ומאי ניהו שערו

But is not the law relating to one's hair also from the Torah, since it was written, "And he shall wash [et] his body in water" and [the word] et includes that which is joined to his body. And what is that? His hair.
