Okay, good morning friends. We're continuing in Mission Berurah Daf Hashavua. We're learning Siman Kuf Nun Tes Seif Zayin. We learned the beginning of the Mechaber that when you wash until Seudat Yam, the water has to come from the Koach of an Oysein. Therefore, if you have a water canal that somebody draws water from the river and pours it into the canal and from there it waters the field. You can't put your hands in the water canal because it's not coming because Kvar Pasak Koach Hashofeich. But, if you put your hands close to the place where it's pouring out even though you're not Mamash putting it under the Shvichah, also Lo Netilah. It works because as long as it's close to the Makom Hashvichah it's coming me Koach Oysein. And not only that, the Mishnah Berurah says in Seif Katan Mem Zayin it's Chashuv me Koach Hakli. It doesn't have to come directly from a Kli. It has to come me Koach Hakli. It's coming me Koach Hakli. But, if you immerse your hands in the canal, it's not Tahor Mayim She'uvim because it's drawn water. Says the Mishnah Berurah in Seif Katan Mem Tes, Ein Machshir me Koach Tevilah Ela b'Mayim Machshir l'Tevilas Haguf. You can only allow immersion of hands with water that's Kosher to immerse the body. Ein l'Kaman b'Seif Tes Zayin. The Ravid Machshir b'She'uvin Arba'im Sa'ah Karka. Look later on that the Ravid is Machshir. Mayim She'uvim if it's 40 Sa'ah in the ground. In other words, if you have a a man's Mikvah is 40 Sa'ah, but it's usually She'uvim, right? So, you could
