Nidah 14
1a) [line 4] D'MEKAF - he rides with a saddle
b) [line 5] D'METARTIN - he rides with one foot on either side of the
animal
2) [line 6] D'GANI A'PARKID - sleeps on his back (RASHI, TOSFOS); sleeps
face down (ARUCH)
3) [line 9] MATZLEI - turns on one side
4) [line 15] OSYOM - immediately
*5*) [line 17] U'FTURIM MIN HA'KORBAN - They are exempt from a Korban
Chatas, but perhaps obligated in an Asham Taluy (Gemara 14b; Tosfos ibid.
DH Ba'inan)

14b---------------------------------------14b

12) [line 2] AVAL - true
13) [line 7] MISHTABE'ACH LEI REBBI ... GAVRA RABA HU - Rebbi praised Rebbi
Chama Bar Bisa as a great person/Talmid Chacham, in front of Rebbi Yishmael
b'Rebbi Yossi
14) [line 17] U'MECHADEDEI SHEMATESEI - his teachings are very sharp
15) [line 21] L'ATZMO TIHER - he was Metaher in line with his own reasoning
16) [line 22] OSAH TZERACHEHA - urinating
17) [line 31] VESES SHE'AMRU L'KINU'ACH, AVAL LO LI'VDIKAH - When blood is
found on the woman's cloth, the couple becomes Tamei such that they need to
bring a Korban Chatas only if she *wiped* herself with the cloth. This
satisfies the condition of Osyom - immediately. A Bedikah further in takes
more time, and there is room for doubt whether there was blood during
Tashmish.
18) [line 33] ASHAM TALUY
If a person is in doubt whether or not he committed a transgression (for
which a Korban Chatas is brought if he definitely transgressed), he must
bring an Asham Taluy. This Korban atones for the possible sin, *until* he
discovers for certain that he has indeed committed the transgression, at
which point he must bring a Korban Chatas.
19) [line 34] CHATICHAH MI'SHTEI CHATICHOS
Our Tana is of the opinion that an Asham Taluy is only brought where there
are *two pieces, one of which was eaten*; e.g. there are two pieces of fat,
one kosher (Shuman) and the other non-kosher (Chelev). A person ate one of
them, believing it to be the permitted piece. If he later realizes that he
*may* have eaten the forbidden piece, he has to bring an Asham Taluy.
Similarly, if a man has two wives, one a Nidah and the other not, and he
realizes that he may have transgressed the prohibition of Nidah, he must
bring an Asham Taluy. Our Mishnah, however, only describes a situation of
one wife. The doubt is whether she was a Nidah or not.
*20*) [line 37] SHE'TOSHIT YADAH TACHAS HA'KAR - This is the same Shiur as
"b'Yetziti'as Shamash Nichnas Ed"
21) [last line] CHACHAMIM B'USHA - When the Sanhedrin was in Usha, one of
the ten places of its exile
