Refer also to 15:8:2:1.

2)

Why does the Torah insert the (otherwise superlfuous) word "ve'Zos Tih'yeh Tum'aso be'Zovo"?

1.

Sifra: To teach us that even a Kolshehu of Zivus is Metamei. 1


1

See Torah Temimah, note 13.

3)

What are the implications of the words "Tum'aso be'Zovo"?

1.

Bava Kama, 24a: It implies that, as opposed to a Zavah, whose Zivus depends on days, 1 the Zivus of a Zav sepends on sightings


1

See Torah Temimah, note 10, who elaborates.

2

Refer also to 15:3:

4)

What is the meaning of "Rar"?

1.

Rashi (Shmuel 1, 21:14): It means a fluid that drips - like spit ('Rir') 1 :


1

See the Pasuk there.

5)

Why does the Torah write both "Rar Besaro es Zovo" and "Hechtim Besaro"?

1.

Rashi: The former means that the emission comes out in the form of a liquid, the latter, even if it comes out thick and stops up the hole of the Amah.

2.

Moshav Zekenim, from R. Nasan (in Nidah 43b): "Hechtim Besaro" teaches that there is a Shi'ur for Zov, i.e. enough to stop up the hole of the Amah. 1

3.

Nidah, 43b "O Hechtim Besaro" teaches us that Zivus is only Metamei as long as it is moist, but not once it has become dry. 2

4.

Oznayim la'Torah: "Rar Besaro" implies long, drawn-out sighting; 3 "Hechtim Besaro", a short sighting


1

Moshav Zekenim: This is unlike Chachamim in the Mishnah, who say that any amount is Metamei.

2

It is not however clear, how the Gemara learns that from here? Perhaps it is because Zivus does not dry completely in that location.

3

See Oznayim la'Torah.

4

See Oznayim la'Torah, citing the Sifra.

6)

What are the implications of the 'Mem' of "mi'Zovo"?

1.

Nidah, 43b: It implies 'Miktzas Zovo Tamei'

7)

What are the implications of "Tum'aso Hi"?

1.

Sifra: It implies that white Zivus is confined to a man, and the Zivus of a woman is exclusively blood.

2.

Oznayim la'Torah: The Torah writes "Tum'aso hi" rather than 'Tamei hu'

See Oznayim la'Torah DH 've'Zos Tih'yeh ... '.
