민수기 19:5 미드라쉬: Sifra, Midrash Tanchuma Buber & Sifrei Bamidbar

7) If it is written in respect to zav (that what is detached from him is clean), why need it be written in respect to mishkav? (See Section 2:3); and if it is written in respect to mishkav, why need it be stated in respect to zav?) Because there obtains with zav what does not obtain with mishkav, and with mishkav what does not obtain with zav — Zav makes a mishkav, and mishkav does not make a zav; the attachments of a zav are tahor (viz. Bamidbar 19:5 above) and the attachments of a mishkav are tamei (See Section 3:4) — Because there obtains with zav what does not obtain with mishkav and with mishkav what does not obtain with zav, it must be written both in respect to mishkav and in respect to zav.

R. Samuel bar Isaac said: Even those who were outside your assembly, but who came and attached themselves to your assemblies, they also will sink into the heart of the seas on the day of your downfall.
