이사야 26:18의 Tosefta
הָרִ֣ינוּ חַ֔לְנוּ כְּמ֖וֹ יָלַ֣דְנוּ ר֑וּחַ יְשׁוּעֹת֙ בַּל־נַ֣עֲשֶׂה אֶ֔רֶץ וּבַֽל־יִפְּל֖וּ יֹשְׁבֵ֥י תֵבֵֽל׃
우리가 잉태하고 고통하였을지라도 낳은 것은 바람 같아서 땅에 구원을 베풀지 못하였고 세계의 거민을 생산치 못하였나이다
Tosefta Niddah
Who is [considered to be] a virgin [for purposes of niddah] (see Niddah 1:3)? Any girl who has not seen blood in her days, even if she is married and she has children, I call her a virgin, until her eyes have seen the first. Do not call her a virgin with respect to virginity, rather a virgin with respect to blood. Who is [considered to be] a "pregnant woman"? Summachos says in the name of Rabbi Meir, one whose status of being pregnant is known [to those around her] for three months, as it is said (Gen. 38:24): "And about three months had passed [after which it was told to Yehuda, Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the whore and indeed, behold, has become pregnant from whoring...]." [If] there was a presumption of pregnancy, and then she saw [blood], or she miscarried, [or] afterwards she [gave birth to] something that was not a child, it suffices [to reckon here impurity from] her set time (Eduyot 1:1, Kulp tr.). And even though there is no explicit proof about the matter, there is at least a hint (Is. 26:18), "Behold, we travailed as though we had given birth to the wind."
