Talmud su Levitico 15:6

וְהַיֹּשֵׁב֙ עַֽל־הַכְּלִ֔י אֲשֶׁר־יֵשֵׁ֥ב עָלָ֖יו הַזָּ֑ב יְכַבֵּ֧ס בְּגָדָ֛יו וְרָחַ֥ץ בַּמַּ֖יִם וְטָמֵ֥א עַד־הָעָֽרֶב׃

E colui che si siede su qualsiasi cosa su cui si è seduto il problema, lava i suoi vestiti, si lava in acqua ed è impuro fino alla sera.

Jerusalem Talmud Niddah

It was stated: For the 24 hours which were stated, one suspends but one does not burn40If heave was declared “impure” because a woman had handled it within 24 hours of her menstrual impurity, it cannot be burned as impure heave since the declaration was purely precautionary; the woman might have been impure when touching the heave. Since it is forbidden to destroy pure sanctified food, that heave neither can be destroyed, for perhaps it is pure, nor be used, for perhaps it is impure. It has to be left unused until it spoils, is no longer food, and automatically loses its sanctified status.. Rebbi Ze‘ira enjoyed this [because] he found stated41Tosephta 9:6,5; Babli 6a, both in slightly different formulation.: “A woman who detects a stain42She detects a blood stain on her garment. This is proof that she bled sometime but she does not know when. makes impure retroactively43The retroactivity extends all the time back until either the time when the woman had checked herself or the garment had been washed.. What does she make impure? Food, and drinks, and seats, and beds44By Lev. 15:20–23, any seat or couch used by a menstruating woman becomes a source of original impurity. The impurity of food is not mentioned in the verses; it is only secondary (cf. Note 36). The original impurity of beds and seats induced retroactively is also asserted in the Babli, 5b.; her count is in disorder45By tradition, denied by Sadducees, there are 11 days after the end of seven days of a menstrual period in which no new menses are possible, in which any bloody discharge cannot be menstrual but must follow the rules of zava. But if the start of the period is unknown, the count is impossible and any discharge triggers a seven day menstrual period., and she makes her sex partner impure retroactively46Since her impurity was unknown to her.. A woman who detects blood makes impure retroactively47In Tosephta and Babli: For 24 hours. The Yerushalmi probably assumes the validity of the Sages’ statement in Mishnah 1.. What does she make impure? Food, and drinks, and seats, and beds; her count is not in disorder48She counts from the moment she notices the discharge., and she does not make her sex partner impure retroactively. Rebbi Aqiba says, she makes her sex partner impure retroactively. In both cases49Stain or blood., one suspends but one does not burn.” There50In Babylonia. This statement is missing in the Geniza text., they say: For the 24 hours which were stated, her bed is like her touch51Since her touch creates only derivative impurity, her seat and bed also do not become sources of original impurity.. How? Like one who sleeps with a menstruating woman52Lev. 15:24 declares the man and his seat or bedding as impure but refrains from declaring seat and bedding as sources of original impurity. who does not make impure by moving53Lev. 15:6 is interpreted that the male sufferer of gonorrhea imparts impurity to anything he moves, even if he never touches it. By biblical standards, a clay vessel cannot become impure by being touched from the outside; it becomes impure only by an original impurity inside its cavity. If a clay vessel has a cover fastened to it, it also cannot become impure by the impurity of the dead. But if either a (male or female) sufferer from gonorrhea or a menstruating woman indirectly moves a clay vessel, for example moving a wooden plank (in itself impervious to impurity) on which there is a closed clay vessel, that vessel and its contents become impure. and does not make clay vessels impure. It was found stated: He makes clay vessels impure by moving54In the Tosephta (Note 41) this is asserted for both cases of menstrual impurity. The baraita quoted here disproves the earlier statement which denied the possibility of impurity by moving.. For the 24 hours which were stated, what is the status of what she touches in the public domain55A general rule states that a doubt about matters of impurity in a public domain can be disregarded (cf. Note 9). The question is, if a woman had certainly touched something in the public domain within 24 hours of her menstruation, is this counted as a doubt or not?? Let us hear from the following56A related text in Tosephta 3:8.: Pregnant and nursing women are pure for their husbands57They are not supposed to menstruate., as is a woman with a regular period58Except close to her time.. And all other women59Excluding pre-puberty girls and post-menopausal women. There are not many women left in this category of “others”. are pure for sexual relations but impure in their touch60Since at any time they could induce retroactive impurity.. That means, what she certainly touched in the public domain is impure.
