*4.4-Makkos Daf 03 B (2 Lines up)**Summary**Rav Yehuda amar Rav:* If a bit of wine fell into _3 lug of mayim she’uvim_ and *colored the water,* and now this red water fell into an incomplete _mikveh,_ *the mikveh remains kosher* (once the water no longer looks like water it cannot be considered “ordinary water” that invalidates a mikveh).*Challenge: Rabbi Chiya* said in a *beraisa:* They lowered (the water level of) the mikveh ( *they declared it possul* and drained it).*Rava:* Rabbi Yehuda amar Rav is following the opinion of *Rabbi Yochanan ben Nuri* , and Rabbi Chiya is following the opinion of the *Rabbanan.**We learned* (the opinions of the Rabbanan and Rabbi Yochanan ben Nuri) *in a _mishna_ : Almost 3 _lug_* of _mayim she’uvim_ (only a _kortov_ was missing) that was completed by a bit of wine (which colored the water), and now this *red water* fell into an incomplete mikveh, *the mikveh remains kosher* (because it was not 3 full _lug_ of water. We can infer from this teaching that the right amount of water would have disqualified the mikveh regardless of its color. This concurs with the opinion of Rabbi Chiya).*The mishna continues: Almost 3 _lug_* of _mayim she’uvim_ (only a kortov was missing) that was completed by a bit of *milk* (which did not color the water), and now this water fell into an incomplete mikveh, *the _mikveh_ remains kosher* (because it was not 3 full _lug_ of water. Despite the fact that the liquid looks like a full 3 _lug_ of water. This _mishna_ does not take the “look” of the water into consideration at all, only it substance and composition).
