Our new Mishnah states "If one cooked sacrifices and chullin in it, or meat of kodshei kodashim with meat of kodashim kalim; if they were sufficient to impart their flavor (into the other one), the less stringent must be eaten like the more stringent of them (if shelamim and chullin were cooked together, the chullin must be eaten inside Yerushalayim, and for two days only; if meat of kodshei kodashim was cooked together with meat of kodashim kalim, the kodashim kalim must be eaten in the Courtyard, on the same day, and by male Kohanim only); but they do not require purging and rinsing (which will be explained in the Gemora); and they do not disqualify through contact (which will also be explained). If an disqualified wafer minchah came into contact with a qualified wafer, or an disqualified piece of meat came into contact with a qualified piece of meat - not the entire wafer or the entire piece of meat is forbidden; only the part that absorbed (from the disqualified one) is forbidden.”
We explore the spiritual dynamics of purging utensils as a metaphor comparing the 3 major religions in their approach to inner purification.
