Tosefta zu Bamidbar 19:19

וְהִזָּ֤ה הַטָּהֹר֙ עַל־הַטָּמֵ֔א בַּיּ֥וֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֖י וּבַיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֑י וְחִטְּאוֹ֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֔י וְכִבֶּ֧ס בְּגָדָ֛יו וְרָחַ֥ץ בַּמַּ֖יִם וְטָהֵ֥ר בָּעָֽרֶב׃

Der Reine sprenge auf den Unreinen am dritten Tage und am siebenten Tage und entsündige ihn am siebenten Tage; er wasche dann seine Kleider und bade im Wasser, und am Abend ist er rein.

Tosefta Demai

[With respect to] a storehouse that Jew[s] and Gentiles deposit [their produce] inside, if the majority are Gentiles, it is [considered] certainly untithed, and if the majority are Jew[s], it is [considered] Demai. If it is half and half, it is [considered] certainly untithed, the words of Rabbi Meir. And the Sages say, even if everyone [who deposited produce were] Gentiles, and a single Jew deposits inside it, [all of the produce is considered] Demai. Rabbi Yosei said, in what context does this apply? With respect to a storehouse owned by a private citizen, but with respect to a storehouse owned by kings, we follow after [the rule of] the majority. Rabbi Yehudah said, in what context does this apply? With respect to a storehouse [belonging to] Jew[s] and Gentiles, but [with respect to] a storehouse [belonging to] Jew[s] and Samaritans, we follow after [the rule of] the majority. They said to him, [how can you say that] after you [previously] rendered the ruling on us that, "The storehouses of Yavneh [dating] from before the [Jewish-Roman] War were Demai, [even though] the majority were Samaritans, but a storehouse to which [produce] is taken from outside the Land of Israel into the Land of Israel, such as storehouses of Danab, they are liable [in the laws of Demai], according to the proportion." Rabbi Yehoshua son of Kevisai, said, every day I was reading this passage (Num. 19:19), "The clean person shall sprinkle it upon the unclean person," and I did not understand it, but only in the storehouse of Yavneh [did I come to understand it], and from the storehouse of Yavneh I learned that one pure [person] can sprinkle even onto a hundred impure [people and render them clean].
