Tohoros 5:5-6

Tohoros 5:5

Let’s say that there were two paths, one ritually unclean and the other ritually clean. Someone walked on one of these paths and then prepared ritually-clean food, and then another person walked on the other path and prepared ritually-clean food. Rabbi Yehuda says that if each of these people asked for a ruling, then each is ruled to be clean but if they jointly asked for a ruling, both are ruled unclean. Rabbi Yosi says that in either case they are both deemed unclean.

Let’s say that there were two loaves, one ritually unclean and the other ritually clean. Someone ate one of these loaves and then prepared ritually-clean food, and then another person ate the other loaf and prepared ritually-clean food. Rabbi Yehuda says that if each of these people asked for a ruling, then each is ruled to be clean but if they jointly asked for a ruling, both are ruled unclean. Rabbi Yosi says that in either case they are both deemed unclean.
