Mishnah Parah 9:4: One who thinks of drinking the chatat waters, Rabbi Eliezer says: he has invalidated [the waters]. Rabbi Yehoshua says: Once he tilts [the vessel to drink from it, the waters then become invalid]. Rabbi Yose says: To which [case] do these words refer? To water which was not [yet] sanctified; but with sanctified water Rabbi Eliezer says: Once he tilts [the vessel to drink from it, the waters then become invalid]. Rabbi Yehoshua says: Once he drinks. If he swallowed it [without bringing the vessel to his mouth], it [the water left in the vessel] is valid.

הַחוֹשֵׁב עַל מֵי חַטָּאת לִשְׁתּוֹת, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, פָּסוּל. רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אוֹמֵר, כְּשֶׁיַּטֶּה. אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹסֵי, בַּמֶּה דְבָרִים אֲמוּרִים, בְּמַיִם שֶׁאֵינָם מְקֻדָּשִׁים. אֲבָל בְּמַיִם הַמְקֻדָּשִׁין, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, כְּשֶׁיַּטֶּה. רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אוֹמֵר, כְּשֶׁיִּשְׁתֶּה. וְאִם גִּרְגֵּר, כָּשֵׁר:

Mishnah Parah 9:5: Chatat waters which were invalidated should not be mixed with plaster, lest they be to be a mishap for others [since one who would touch the mixture would become impure]; Rabbi Yehuda says: They [the waters] are nullified [and no longer cause impurity once they are mixed in]. A cow that drank the chatat waters, its meat is ritually impure [only] between that time and the [corresponding] time [i.e. if the slaughtering occurred within twenty-four hours of the drinking, the meat is impure]. Rabbi Yehuda says: They [the waters] are nullified in her intestines [and no longer cause impurity, even if the slaughtering occurred within twenty-four hours of drinking].

מֵי חַטָּאת שֶׁנִּפְסְלוּ, לֹא יְגַבְּלֵם בְּטִיט, שֶׁלֹּא יַעֲשֵׂם תַּקָּלָה לַאֲחֵרִים. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, בָּטְלוּ. פָּרָה שֶׁשָּׁתָת מֵי חַטָּאת, בְּשָׂרָהּ טָמֵא מֵעֵת לְעֵת. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, בָּטְלוּ בְמֵעֶיהָ:
