The water used for washing vessels, for bathing, for blowing bubbles, or for cooking rice, is considered pure. **17/3.** "Until it is very pure," "until the rice is cooked," "this is it," these are the rules. The measure is not certain, but it is not necessary for it to be very pure. **18.** Water used for cooling, for heating, for salting, for eating, for fire, for salt, for pickles, is considered pure. **22.** Water used for washing, for drinking, for hands, for washing clothes, for washing utensils, for washing food, is considered pure. **23.** Water used for bathing, for washing, for cleaning, for removing dirt, for purifying, for destroying evil, is considered pure. **21.** Water used for washing, for cooling, for applying medicine, for washing clothes, for washing the body, for washing the house, is considered pure.
