(Mishnah - R. Yochanan ben Brokah): If a [dead] Sheretz was found in the Mikdash on Shabbos, a Kohen takes it outside in his Avnet (belt), to avoid delaying the Tum'ah in the Mikdash [even on Shabbos. Even though a Sheretz is Muktzeh, the concern to get rid of the Tum'as Mes overrides Shevus];

R. Yehudah says, he takes it out with wooden tongs, to avoid increasing the Tum'ah [to the garment. Wooden Kelim without a receptacle are not Mekabel Tum'ah.]

Question: From where must we remove it [or similar Tum'ah]?

Answer #1 (R. Shimon ben Nanas): We must remove it from the Heichal, Ulam and between the Ulam and the Mizbe'ach;

Answer #2 (R. Akiva): Any place for which a Tamei person is Chayav Kares b'Mezid and Chayav Chatas b'Shogeg [if he delays there, i.e. the entire Azarah], we remove it from there.

If it is found elsewhere, we cover it with a Pesachter (a big bowl).

R. Shimon says, Chachamim permitted to you [only] what [really] is permitted to you. They permitted to you only Shevus (an Isur mid'Rabanan. This will be explained.)

(Gemara - R. Yochanan ben Brokah, to R. Yehudah): (You obligate taking it out with wooden tongs.) Do you not delay the Tum'ah (until we find such tongs)?!

R. Yehudah: (You say that he takes it outside in his Avnet.) Do you not increase the Tum'ah (the Avnet becomes Tamei!)

R. Yehudah: It is better to transgress a Lo Sa'aseh that he does not do overtly (delaying the Tum'ah is passive) than [to transgress] a Lo Sa'aseh overtly (being Metamei the Avnet)!

(R. Yosi bei R. Bun): This argument is like the following arguments;

(Mishnah): How do we separate Chalah in Tum'ah on Yom Tov [of Pesach]? R. Eliezer says, he does not call it Chalah until after it is baked;

Ben Beseira says, [he separates Chalah from the dough, and] puts it in cold water (to impede fermenting, i.e. becoming Chametz).

R. Yehoshua says, this is not Chametz about which we are commanded Bal Yera'eh and Bal Yimatzei! Rather, he separates [Chalah ] and leaves it (does not burn it) until night (Motza'ei Yom Tov). If it ferments, it ferments.

R. Yehoshua (to R. Eliezer): (You hold that he calls it Chalah and leaves it in the oven.) Do you not find that he burns Kodshim (Tamei Chalah) on Yom Tov?!

R. Eliezer: They burn by themselves.

R. Eliezer: [According to you], do you not find that he transgresses Bal Yera'eh and Bal Yimatzei?!

R. Yehoshua: It is better to transgress a Lo Sa'aseh that he does not do overtly (it ferments by itself) than [to transgress] a Lo Sa'aseh overtly (burning Chalah on Yom Tov).
