1) [line 1] HA'SHIDAH (KELEI ETZ: TUM'AH) 1. The object must have a receptacle, i.e. an area in which it can contain other objects, as opposed to a flat board.(c) A Shidah is defined as: 1. a woman's carriage that is closed on all sides (RASHI to Eruvin 30b); 2. a large chest that is used as a bench in a woman's carriage (RASHI to Eruvin 14b); 3. a cabinet (RAMBAM Peirush ha'Mishnayos Kelim 15:1). Beis Shamai (Kelim 18:1; the entire Mishnah is quoted in our Gemara) rules that in order to determine whether a Shidah is forty Se'ah or not, the interior volume is measured. Beis Hillel rules that the exterior volume is measured. Other Tana'im argue as to whether the volume of the legs and the space between the legs is measured as well.
2a) [line 1] NIMDEDES MI'BIFNIM - the interior volume is measured
5) [line 9] SHEMEN TECHILAH L'OLAM (TUM'AS OCHLIN U'MASHKIN)
(c) Liquids are an exception to this rule. The Chachamim decreed that liquids should always be a Rishon, even if touched by a Sheni. Our Gemara brings three opinions of Tana'im who may or may not include all of the seven Halachic liquids in this decree. The seven Halachic liquids are listed below, (f). (d) A Sheni l'Tum'ah cannot make Chulin Tamei mid'Oraisa. Even mid'Rabanan, there is no such thing as Shelishi L'Tum'ah with regard to Chulin. Terumah, however, can become a Shelishi L'Tum'ah. (Also, if someone guarded his Chulin from Tum'ah as one normally guards Terumah, it is called "Chulin she'Na'asu Al Taharas Terumah," and can become a Shelishi.) (e) Terumah that is a Shelishi l'Tum'ah cannot make other Terumah Tamei. However, it may not be eaten. It is referred to as "Pasul" (invalid) rather than "Tamei." Kodesh (objects associated with the sacrifices) that is touched by a Shelishi l'Tum'ah can become a Revi'i. A Revi'i of Kodesh is also called "Pasul." (f) All *foods* become Tamei if they touch a source of Tum'ah, but only after they first become wet. From then on, even after they dry, they can still become Tamei. Seven liquids can enable foods to become Tamei: water, dew, oil, wine, milk, blood, and bee's honey. The minimum amount of food that can become Tamei is a k'Beitzah. (g) In order for something edible to receive Tum'as Ochlin, it has to be considered food. A person's intention to eat the item and treat it as a food gives it the status of a food and it can receive Tum'as Ochlin. Once food becomes Tamei, it cannot become Tahor by immersing it in a Mikvah.
