תלמוד על שבת 268:6

¹⁰⁹This paragraph and the next really are not about Mishnah 9:3 but Mishnah 19:3, which is quoted in the first sentence. The text there was omitted by the scribe and added by the corrector, whose text (19) seems to be a copy of the text here, only slightly careless at the end. In addition to G, there also is a slightly enlarged version in Gen. rabba 80(8), on Gen. 43:25. We have stated: “One washes the baby.” It was stated in the House of (Rav) [Rebbi]¹¹⁰The text in (parentheses) is from the ms., the one in [brackets] from G and 19 seems to be the correct one; cf. Tosephta 15:4.: “One washes the circumcision.”¹¹¹But not the entire body of a newly circumcised baby. Rebbi Abbahu in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Practice follows him who says, “one washes the baby”¹¹²Babli 134b.. Rebbi Yose said, you are forced to say, one washes the baby. ¹¹³All this is R. Yose’s argument that in Mishnah 19:3 one must state “the baby” since for “the circumcision” the statement would be superfluous. Samuel stated, one never witholds either oil or warm water from a wound on the Sabbath. Rebbi Yose said, my teacher Rebbi Zeˋira always was saying to me, state in your Mishnah, not only this but one sprinkles warm water on a wound on the Sabbath. If you are saying, “one washes the circumcision”, what is the difference between an adult and a baby?
