Mishnah עירובין י׳:ט״ו · Eiruvin 10:15
שֶׁרֶץ שֶׁנִּמְצָא בַמִּקְדָּשׁ,
כֹּהֵן מוֹצִיאוֹ בְהֶמְיָנוֹ,
שֶׁלֹּא לְשַׁהוֹת אֶת הַטֻּמְאָה,
דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן בֶּן בְּרוֹקָה.
רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר,
בִּצְבָת שֶׁל עֵץ,
שֶׁלֹּא לְרַבּוֹת אֶת הַטֻּמְאָה.
מֵהֵיכָן מוֹצִיאִין אוֹתוֹ,
מִן הַהֵיכָל וּמִן הָאוּלָם וּמִבֵּין הָאוּלָם וְלַמִּזְבֵּחַ,
דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן נַנָּס.
רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר,
מְקוֹם שֶׁחַיָּבִין עַל זְדוֹנוֹ כָּרֵת וְעַל שִׁגְגָתוֹ חַטָּאת,
מִשָּׁם מוֹצִיאִין אוֹתוֹ,
וּשְׁאָר כָּל הַמְּקוֹמוֹת כּוֹפִין עָלָיו פְּסַכְתֵּר.
רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר,
מְקוֹם שֶׁהִתִּירוּ לְךָ חֲכָמִים, מִשֶּׁלְּךָ נָתְנוּ לְךָ, שֶׁלֹּא הִתִּירוּ לְךָ אֶלָּא מִשּׁוּם שְׁבוּת.
A sheretz found in the Mikdash —
a kohein carries it out in his belt,
so as not to prolong the tumah;
these are the words of Rabbi Yochanan ben Beroka.
Rabbi Yehuda says:
with wooden tongs,
so as not to increase the tumah.
From where do they remove it?
From the Heichal, the Ulam, and between the Ulam and the altar —
these are the words of Rabbi Shimon ben Nannas.
Rabbi Akiva says:
any place where intentional entry incurs kareis and unwitting entry a chatas —
from there they remove it,
and in all other places one covers it with a bowl (psachter).
Rabbi Shimon says:
wherever the Sages permitted something to you, they gave it to you from your own — they permitted it only because of shvus.

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.

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.
