27) [line 45] ZOCHALIN
(a) Immersion in spring water is Metaher whether the water is flowing (Zochalin) or whether it is collected in a cavity.

(b) Immersion in rainwater (Notfin) is Metaher if the water is collected in a cavity, or "b'Ashboren." This is learned from Vayikra 11:36, where the verse states that a *Mikveh* Mayim (an *accumulation* of water) purifies. While the rainwater is flowing, it cannot be Metaher.

(c) Rebbi Yosi rules that all sea water is considered like spring water in that it is Metaher while flowing (b'Zochalin). However, they are not considered to be spring water for the purification of Zavim and Metzora'im, who need Mayim Chayim (spring water) for their immersion.

28) [last line] L'ZAVIM UL'METZORA'IM
(a) A Zav (see Background to Shabbos 84:1) must count seven "clean" days in which he sees no Zov in order to start his purification process, as it states in Vayikra 15:13. Afterwards, he immerses in a *spring* to complete the process (ibid.). Since the Torah specifies *Mayim Chayim*, immersing in a Mikvah will not make him Tahor.

(b) A Metzora (see Background to Shabbos 94:18) must live outside of his settlement until a Kohen has confirmed that the signs of Tum'ah of Tzara'as have disappeared. He may then start his purification process, in which he uses *spring* water, Mayim Chayim, in a earthenware utensil. The ceremony is described in Vayikra 14:5.

29) [last line] L'KADESH BAHEN MI CHATAS
(a) If a person (or utensil) became Tamei through touching a *Mes*, he must wait seven days to become Tahor. On the third and seventh days he must have Mei Chatas (spring water mixed with ashes of the Parah Adumah) sprinkled on him. A person who is Tahor dips three hyssops (Ezov) which have been bound together into the Mei Chatas and sprinkles them on the person who is Tamei. On the seventh day, he immerses in a Mikvah after Mei Chatas is sprinkled on him to complete his purification.

(b) The water that is used to make Mei Chatas must be spring water; sea water is not acceptable.
