Nidah 41
***************GIRSA SECTION********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach, Rav B. Rensburg
and the parenthetical marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is
devoted to any *OTHER* changes that we feel ought to be made in Gemara,
Rashi or Tosfos.)
[1] Rashi 41a DH Hachi Nami Mistabra:
The words "midek'Tani ha'Rove'a veha'Nirba"
are the beginning of a new Dibur
************************************************
1) [line 11] VELADOS KODSHIM B'HAVAYASAN HEN KEDOSHIM
There is a Machlokes as to whether the offspring of Kodshim become
themselves Kodesh when they emerge from their mother's womb (b'Havayasan),
or whether they become Kodesh as soon as they are formed in the womb
(b'Me'ei Iman) .
2) [line 18] NOGE'ACH
An ox that gored a person to death. If two witnesses saw the act, the
animal is Asur b'Hana'ah and is stoned by Beis Din. If only one witness saw
it, or if there were no witnesses but the owner told Beis Din of the
incident, the animal is Mutar b'Hana'ah but unacceptable as a Korban
3) [line 20] NIDMEH -
An animal that does not appear to be of the same species as its mother or
father, e.g.The parents are goats and it has the appearance of a sheep.
41b---------------------------------------41b
4) [line 5] MAKOR, MEKOMO TAMEI
The womb is a place that is Tamei such that it will Metamei any liquid that
flows through it. The liquids becomes Av ha'Tuma'ah.
5) [line 12] MADVEH - flow
6) [line 17] "YA'AN HISHAFECH NECHUSHTECH VA'TIGALEH ERVASECH" - Because
your bottom/uterus was discharged, and your nakedness was revealed"
(Yechezkel 16:36) Even if a piece of the womb dislodged and was discharged
it is still called Ervah as if it were in its original place; therefore it
is Tamei.
*7*) [line 19] ELA L'TUMAS EREV - That is, not only is blood that touched
the Makor Tamei, but even if the woman herself touches the Makor as it
falls from her body, she becomes Tamei.
8) [line 27] GALUY HU ETZEL SHERETZ (TUM'AS BEIS HA'SETARIM)
Tum'as Beis ha'Setarim refers to an object that is Tamei that comes into
contact with the concealed part of a person or object. Under such
circumstances, the object cannot make a person Tamei by Maga, but it can
make him Tamei by Masa. For example, if a piece of a Sheretz was found in
the folds of a person's skin, he is Tahor because a Sheretz is only
Metamei through Maga. If, however, he had a Neveilah in the folds of his
skin, he is Tamei, because a Neveilah is also Metamei through Masa.
*9*) [last line] D'AZLAH IHI B'CHAR'AH - That is, while walking, it is very
common for a woman to expel Shichvas Zera. Therefore, when the woman walks
away from the Mikvah, we must assume that she became Temei'ah all over
again through expelling Shichvas Zera.
The Gemara questions this assertion: If we are so sure that she expelled
Shichvas Zera when she walked, then perhaps it was all expelled while
walking *towards* the Mikvah, before the Tevilah. The Gemara therefore
retracts its suggestion and maintains that if the woman walked to the
Mikvah, she indeed remains Tehorah after the Tevilah.
10) [last line] BAHADEI DEKA'AZLA SHADISA - while she was walking, she
explelled it from her body
