Parah 7:11-12

Parah 7:11

If two people were collecting water for sanctification and each helped the other lift it or each pulled a thorn out for the other, if they were making one sanctification water, it is valid; if two, it is invalid. Rabbi Yosi says that even two are valid if they made an agreement between them (to assist one another).

Parah 7:12

If one breached a fence (that is impeding his path) – even with the intention to repair it – the water is valid; if he repaired it, the water is invalid. If he ate figs intending to lay some out for drying, the water is valid; if he laid the figs out, it is invalid. If he was eating figs and had some left over, so he threw what was in his hand under the fig tree or into the shed so that they shouldn’t be wasted, the water is invalid (because storing food is an unrelated task).
