תלמוד על עדיות 6:3

MISHNAH: The nazir shaves for the following impurities: For a corpse, for flesh in the volume of an olive of a corpse, and for the volume of an olive of decayed matter from a corpse⁶⁰Either decaying flesh or fluid from the corpse. If it is decayed so that it looks like dust it is counted as decay and follows the standard of the spoonful (under certain conditions). It is implied that all impurities enumerated in the Mishnah are biblical in nature., and for a spoonful of decay, for the spine and for the skull⁶¹Even if no flesh is left., for a limb from a corpse or a limb from the living on which there is sufficient flesh⁶²“Sufficient flesh” is enough left on a limb connected to a living body that it could heal., for half a qab⁶³A qab is 4 log or 2.13 liter. of bones, and for half a log⁶³A qab is 4 log or 2.13 liter. of blood, if they are touched, or carried⁶⁴Even if the carrier does not touch the cause of impurity., or under a tent⁴³If a grave is is the shade of a tree, the entire canopy of the tree forms a “tent” over the grave; any person passing under the tree becomes impure by the impurity of the dead (Num. 19:14).. Also for a bone in the volume of a barley grain if it is touched, or carried, (or under a tent.)⁶⁵The last clause, which originally was also in Babli mss., is a scribal error since only half a qab of bones transmits impurity in a tent but less than that transmits impurity only by touch or carrying, not in a tent (Tosaphot 49b, s. v. על משאו). For these, the nazir shaves, he sprinkles on the third and seventh [days], he disregards the preceding days and starts to count only after he purifies himself and brings all his sacrifices.
