Talmud su Levitico 12:7

וְהִקְרִיב֞וֹ לִפְנֵ֤י יְהוָה֙ וְכִפֶּ֣ר עָלֶ֔יהָ וְטָהֲרָ֖ה מִמְּקֹ֣ר דָּמֶ֑יהָ זֹ֤את תּוֹרַת֙ הַיֹּלֶ֔דֶת לַזָּכָ֖ר א֥וֹ לַנְּקֵבָֽה׃

E lo offrirà davanti all'Eterno e farà espiazione per lei; e sarà purificata dalla fonte del suo sangue. Questa è la legge per lei che porta, sia maschio che femmina.

Jerusalem Talmud Niddah

HALAKHAH: “Five kinds of blood are impure from a woman,” etc. Rav and Rebbi Joḥanan both say that there are four kinds of blood. The red one oxydizes and becomes black87In the Babli, 19a, 20a, this is a statement of R. Ḥanina supported by a Tannaїtic statement. Samuel’s statement is ascribed there to Rami bar Abba, a student of Rav Huna.. Samuel said, black comes from all of them. From where that there are five kinds of blood impure by the Torah? Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said, “she uncovered the source of her bloods88Lev. 20:18.,” “she shall be purified from the source of her bloods,89Lev. 12:7.” “blood will be the excretion of her genitals.90Lev. 15:19.This verse is not quoted in the Babli, 19a, since only four kinds of blood have to be established. Also, that verse is needed to establish the fact that a menstruating woman is impure; in the hermeneutics of the Babli it cannot be used to establish details of the rule. The other two verses mention the blood as a kind of side remark; they can be used to establish the details. The argument is that in both verses the plural is used; an indefinite plural always means 2 (cf. H. Guggenheimer, Logical Problems in Jewish Tradition; cf. Chapter 1, Note 83), and 2+2 = 4.” But “a woman whose excretion of blood flows”91Lev. 15:25. is also there! That only comes to her in the days of her excessive flow to turn her into a zavah92The verse deals with a different subject, with blood that is not menstrual.. From where that there is impure and pure blood? Rebbi Ḥama ben Joseph in the name of Rebbi Hoshaiah93Quoted in the Babli, 19a, in the names of the same authors.: It is written: “If something in the law is too difficult for you;” then it is not written “whether blood and blood” but “between blood and blood”94Deut. 17:8., that shows that there is impure and pure blood95That there are cases of impurity of blood which need a judicial determination..
