Талмуд к Хорайот 3:7

A Cohen and a Levite, the Levite shall defile himself⁴⁶Since a Levite is not forbidden to defile himself.. A Levite and an Israel, the Israel shall defile himself. No, is not the Levite like the Israel⁴⁷In matters of impurity, the Levite has no more obligations than the Israel.? Rebbi Abin said, it was taught in the time of the platform⁴⁸The platform in the Temple for the levitic singers. If the Levite was engaged in the Temple service, he must be careful not to become disabled by impurity.. The Sages agree with Rebbi Eliezer that between a High Priest and a nazir, the nazir shall defile himself but not the High Priest⁴⁹This is the position of the Sages in the Mishnah.. Rebbi Eliezer agrees with the Sages that between a High Priest and a nazir, the nazir shall defile himself but not the High Priest⁵⁰R. Eliezer holds to his position in the Mishnah only for a common priest, not the High Priest.. Think of it, if his father sanctified him from birth⁵¹Like Samson or Samuel. The reference is to the argument of the Sages that the nazir has to defile himself because his holiness is temporary. If the nazir is nazir from birth, that argument does not hold but the formulation of the Sages in the first sentence of the Mishnah does not admit of any exception.. The one⁵²The holiness of the Cohen. is from the Torah, the other is not from the Torah⁵³The possibility of a nazir from birth is only given in the Prophets.. Rebbi Huna in the name of Rav Joseph: Rebbi Eliezer parallels the House of Shammai. As the House of Shammai say, between holy and frequent the holy has precedence⁵⁴In Mishnah Berakhot 8:1, the House of Shammai require that on Friday nights, the benediction for the Sanctification of the Sabbath (the holy) precede the benediction for the wine (the frequent)., so Rebbi Eliezer says, between holy and frequent the holy has precedence⁵⁵For him, the nazir who must bring a sacrifice for his defilement is holier than the Cohen who brings no sacrifice.. A nazir for 30 days and a nazir for 100, the nazir for 30 days shall defile himself. A nazir for 100 days and a nazir forever, the nazir for 100 days shall defile himself. A nazir forever⁵⁶He cuts his hair (but does not shave it off) once a year and brings three sacrifices; Halakhah 1:2., and a nazir of neziriot⁵⁷Similar to one described in Mishnah 1:4; from the argument it seems that the nazir referred to here has vowed many periods of more than one year., some Tannaïm state, the nazir forever shall defile himself; but some Tannaïm state, the nazir of neziriot shall defile himself. He who says, the nazir forever shall defile himself but not the nazir of neziriot, since he⁵⁸The nazir forever shall defile himself since he never shaves. shaves more frequently. He who says, the nazir of neziriot shall defile himself but not the nazir forever, since he brings more sacrifices⁵⁹If the basic period of the nazir of neziriot is more than one year, the nazir forever brings more sacrifices.. If he switched, it should be as Rebbi Immi said in the name of Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: He transgressed “do not defile your land⁴⁵Deut. 21:23..” Here it is the same.
