THE POSSIBLE SOURCES OF BLOOD (Yerushalmi Perek 2 Halachah 5 Daf 7b)

îúðé' îùì îùìå çëîéí áàùä äçãø åäôøåæãåø åäòìééä

(a)

(Mishnah): Chachamim compared the interior of a woman to a Cheder (room), Prozdor (corridor) and Aliyah (second story);

ãí äçãø èîà

1.

Blood of the Cheder is Tamei.

ðîöà áôøåæãåø ñôé÷å èîà ùçæ÷úå îï äî÷åø:

2.

If [blood] is found in the Prozdor, the Safek (where it came from) is considered Tamei, for the Chazakah is that it came from the Makor (Cheder. More blood comes from there.)

âî' ëéðé îúðéúà ãí äçãø èîà åãí òìééä èäåø

(b)

(Gemara): Our Mishnah means that blood of the Cheder is Tamei, and blood of the Aliyah is Tahor.

øá éäåãä áùí ùîåàì äçãø ìôðéí îï äôøåæãåø åäòìééä ðúåðä òì âáé äçãø òã çöé ôøåæãåø åôéúçä ùì òìééä ôúåç ìôøåæãåø

(c)

(Rav Yehudah citing Shmuel): The Cheder is further in than the Prozdor, and the Aliyah is on top of the Cheder, until half of the Prozdor. The opening of the Aliyah is open to the Prozdor.

øá ðçîï áø øá éöç÷ ùàì ìøá çåðä îúðéúà áùðîöà îôúç òìééä åìôðéí

(d)

Question (Rav Nachman bar Rav Yitzchak, to Rav Huna): Does our Mishnah discuss when [blood] is found from the opening of the Aliyah and further in?

à"ì àí áùðîöà îôúç òìééä åìôðéí áåãàé äéà

(e)

Answer (Rav Huna): If it is found from the opening of the Aliyah and further in, Vadai (it is from the Makor! The Mishnah would not say that it is due to Chazakah!)

àìà ëï àðï ÷ééîéï áùðîöà îôúç òìééä åìçåõ.

1.

Rather, the case is, is found from the opening of the Aliyah and further outside.
