א תַּנֵּי מַעֲיָין שֶׁל בְּנֵי הָעִיר הֵן וָאֲחֵרִים קוֹדְמִין הֵן לָאֲחֶרִים. אֲחֵרִים וּבְהֶמְתָּן אֲחֵרִים קוֹדְמִין לִבְהֶמְתָּן. כְּבִיסָתָן וְחַיֵּי אֲחֵרִים כְּבִיסָתָן קוֹדֶמֶת לְחַיֵּי אֲחֵרִים. אָמַר רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן מָאן תַּנָּא כְּבִיסָה חַיֵּי נֶפֶשׁ רִבִּי יוֹסֵי. דְּתַנֵי אֵין נוֹתְנִין מֵהֶן לֹא לְמִשְׁרָה וְלֹא לִכְבִיסָה. וְרִבִּי יוֹסֵי מַתִּיר בִּכְבִיסָה. מִחְלְפָה שִׁיטָּתֵיהּ דְּרְבִּי יוֹסֵי. תַּמָּן הוּא אָמַר אֵין רְחִיצָה חַיֵּי נֶפֶשׁ. וָכָא הוּא אָמַר הַכְּבִיסָה חַיֵּי נֶפֶשׁ. אָמַר רִבִּי מָנָא אָדָם מְגַלְגֵּל בִּרְחִיצָה וְאֵין אָדָם מְגַלְגֵּל בִּכְבִיסָה.
1 It was stated: “A water source belonging to the townspeople, between them and outsiders, they have precedence over outsiders. Between outsiders and their animals, the outsiders have precedence. Their washing and the lives of outsiders, their washing has precedence over the lives of outsiders.” Rebbi Joḥanan said, who is the Tanna who saidthat washing is a necessity for survival? Rebbi Yose! As it was stated: “One may use it neither for steeping nor for washing. But Rebbi Yose permits it for washing.” The opinions of Rebbi Yose are contradictory. There he says, washing oneself is not a necessity of life. And here, he says washing one’s garments is a necessity of life. Rebbi Mana said, a person might put off washing himself but nobody puts off washing his clothes.
