Passage 1א׳

חולין פרק ד - תַּנְיָא: אִילָן שֶׁמַּשִּׁיר פֵּרוֹתָיו, סוֹקְרוֹ בְּסִיקְרָא, וְטוֹעֲנוֹ בַּאֲבָנִים. בִּשְׁלָמָא טוֹעֲנוֹ בַּאֲבָנִים, כִּי הֵיכִי דְּלִיכְּחוּשׁ חֵילֵיהּ. אֶלָּא סוֹקְרוֹ בְּסִיקְרָא, אַמַּאי? כִּי הֵיכִי דְּלֵיחְזִיוּהָ אִינְשֵׁי, וְלִיבָּעִי רַחֲמֵי עִילוּיֵהּ, כִּדְתַנְיָא: (ויקרא י״ג:מ״ה) "וְטָמֵא טָמֵא יִקְרָא", צָרִיךְ לְהוֹדִיעַ צַעֲרוֹ לָרַבִּים, וְרַבִּים מְבַקְּשִׁים עָלָיו רַחֲמִים, וְכֵן מִי שֶׁאֵרַע בּוֹ דָּבָר, צָרִיךְ לְהוֹדִיעוֹ לָרַבִּים, וְרַבִּים מְבַקְּשִׁים עָלָיו רַחֲמִים. אָמַר רַבִינָא: כְּמַאן תַּלִינָא כּוּבְסָא בְּדִיקְלָא? כְּמַאן? כִּי הַאי תַּנָּא.

its strength should be weakened. But marking it with red dye — why? So that people should see it and pray for mercy for it. As it was taught: "and he shall cry: unclean, unclean" (Leviticus 13:45) — he must make it known to the public, and the public seek mercy for him. And likewise one to whom a thing has befallen must make it known to the public, and the public seek mercy for him. Ravina said: in accordance with whom do we hang a kuvsa (a cluster of dates) upon a date palm? In accordance with whom? In accordance with this tanna.
