The Testimonies of Rabbi Yossi Ben Yoezer

עֵדֻיּוֹת רַבִּי יוֹסֵי בֶּן יוֹעֶזֶר
Mishnah עדיות ח׳:ד׳ · Eduyos 8:4
הֵעִיד רַבִּי יוֹסֵי בֶּן יוֹעֶזֶר, אִישׁ צְרֵדָה,
עַל אַיִל קַמְצָא, דָּכָן.
וְעַל מַשְׁקֵה בֵית מִטְבְּחַיָּא, דְּאִינּוּן דַּכְיָן.
וּדְיִקְרַב בְּמִיתָא, מִסְתָּאָב.
וְקָרוּ לֵיהּ, יוֹסֵי שָׁרְיָא.
Testified Rabbi Yossi ben Yoezer, of Tzereida:
on the ayil kamtza [a kind of locust], that it is permitted to eat;
and on the liquids of the slaughter-area, that they are tahor;
and that one who touches a corpse, is rendered tamei.
And they called him, "Yossi the Permitter."

what does this mean?

A reading aid, not an exact translation.

This English is a clause-by-clause rendering to help you follow the Hebrew. It is not word-for-word literal, and it is not a transcript of the recorded shiur — the audio carries explanation and context the translation deliberately leaves out.

Structure
Transcript
A machine transcript of the recorded shiur.

This is the shiur as spoken, transcribed automatically and left unedited — the wording is Ephraim's, and occasional transcription errors remain. It follows the audio word by word.

Mishnah Insights
An amalgam of commentaries, including original insights.

These insights draw on the commentaries to this Mishnah and on the recorded shiur. Those commentaries often rest on earlier sources — the Gemara, the Yerushalmi, the Rishonim, and one another — without always saying so; where they do, we generally cite the one we read. Every commentary consulted is kept, verbatim, with this page.
