Nidah Chart #4

Chart for Nidah Daf 28b

WHAT WE WOULD HAVE LEARNED FROM THE VERSE (1),
"V'CHOL TAMEI LA'NEFESH MI'ZACHAR AD NEKEVAH TESHALECHU"

(A)
HAD THE VERSE SAID:
(B)
WE WOULD HAVE DERIVED THAT:
1 "*ADAM* TESHALECHU" All inanimate, Tamei objects are permitted in the Azarah
2 "*KOL* TAMEI LA'NEFESH" (a) The Gemara's initial suggestion:
Even inanimate, Tamei objects are not permitted in the Azarah
(b) The Gemara's conclusion:
Zavim are not punished for entering the Azarah when a Korban Pesach is being brought b'Tumah (Tosfos, DH Ad Kol Davar, based on Pesachim 66b)
3 "*ZACHAR U'NEKEVAH* TESHALECHU" Tumtum and Androginus are not punished for entering the Azarah while Tamei due to Zivah or Nidah
4 "ZACHAR AD NEKEVAH TESHALEICHU" Even inanimate, Tamei objects other than Klei Cheres) are not permitted in the Azarah
5 "*MI'ZACHAR* AD NEKEIVAH"
(as the verse indeed says)
Tumtum v'Androginus are punished for entering the Azarah while Tamei due to other types of Tum'ah
