Tohoros 4:6-7

Tohoros 4:6

Let’s say that there were two types of saliva – one potentially unclean and the other ritually clean. Trumah is “suspended” if a person touched, carried or moved one of these in the private domain, touched one of them in the public domain while it was still wet, or carried it wet or dry in the public domain. If there was only one kind of saliva (i.e., potentially unclean) and someone touched, carried or moved it in a public domain, trumah is burned because of it. This is certainly the case if it was in a private domain.
