1)

(a)What does the Mishnah rule ...

1. ... regarding ha'Pore'ach min ha'Tamei? What is the case?

2. ... there where, after spreading to the entire body, a Michyah appears on one of the twenty-four Rashei Eivarim (that are not subject to Tum'ah)?

(b)What is the minimum required Shi'ur of the Michyah?

(c)From which Pasuk do we learn this ruling?

(d)How small will the Baheres have to become for the Kohen to declare it Tahor?

2)

(a)What do the following Nega'im have in common. 1. If the Se'or Lavan fell out; 2. If the Michyah became covered; 3. If the Nega remained the same for two weeks?

(b)What will be the Din if, after any of these cases, the Kohen has declared him Tahor, and the remaining Nega now spreads to the entire body?

(c)And what if, after that, one of the twenty-four Rashei Evarim appear on it?

(d)In fact, the Tana only declares him Tahor if it reverts to its original size. Why is it still Tamei, should it be slightly larger than it was originally?

3)

(a)What does the Tana say about a Baheres the size of a G'ris containing a Michyah, which spreads to the entire body, and the Michyah disappears ...

1. ... before or after the Baheres spread?

2. ... or two white hairs grew, before the Baheres spreads?

(b)If the two white hairs grow after the Baheres has spread, R. Yehoshua declares him Tamei (see Tos. Yom-Tov). What do the Chachamim say?

4)

(a)What will be the Din if a Baheres the size of a G'ris containing two white hairs or that has spread, then spreads to the entire body?

(b)We just learned this with regard to Michyah. Why does the Tana see fit to repeat it?

(c)What if one of the Rashei Evarim subsequently appears on the Nega?

5)

(a)Why does the Mishnah then need to add 'Parchah be'Miktzaso Tamei, be'Kulo Tahor'? Why might we have thought otherwise?

(b)What is an alternative reason for stating this ruling, aside from its connection with Parchah be'Kulo?

6)

(a)What does the Tana now say about all ...

1. ... P'richas Roshei Evarim that render a Tamei, Tahor?

2. ... Chaziras Rashei Evarim that render a Tahor, Tamei?

(b)What will the Kohen say if in the latter case, the covered piece of flesh becomes uncovered again?

(c)Up to how many times will this sequence continue?

7)

(a)On which part of the body will the Nega have to remain to prevent a Nega which spreads to the rest of the body from being declared Tahor? What is the criterion?

(b)Why does the Tana omit Roshei Eivarim from the list of exceptions?

8)

(a)The list incorporates Rosh, Zakan, Sh'chin and Michvah. Which final item does it include?

(b)And what does the Tana say in a case where either the hair of one of the former two subsequently falls out, or the Sh'chin, Michvah or Kedach of one of the latter three form a crust?

(c)Why is that?

9)

(a)What is the Din if the Nega spreads to the entire body except for the Shi'ur of half an Adashah next to the head or the beard, the Sh'chin, the Michvah or the Kedach?

(b)What does Tana now say where either the former two fall out, or the latter three form a crust?

(c)What will have to happen for the Kohen to declare him Tahor?

(d)What is the reason for this Chumra?

Mishnah 6

10)

(a)What will be the Din if a person has two Beharos, one Tamei and one Tahor, if the Nega spreads to the entire body, after having first spread from the ...

1. ... Tamei Nega to the Tahor one?

2. ... Tahor Nega to the Tamei one?

(b)And the same will apply to where the two Nega'im, each measuring half a G'ris, appear, one on his upper lip, the other, on his lower lip (see Tos. Yom-Tov). Why might we have thought otherwise?

(c)Which two similar cases does he present which have the same Din?

11)

(a)What if the Nega ...

1. ... spreads to the entire body except for a Bohak? What is a Bohak?

2. ... that spread to the entire body now disappeared from one of the Roshei Evarim, leaving a Bohak?

(b)Seeing as the same will apply if this happens on another part of the body, why does the Tana mention specifically Roshei Evarim?

(c)Who is then the author of the Reisha?

(d)How will we reconcile the current ruling with the previous one, where the Bohak prevented the Kohen from declaring the P'richah, Tahor?

12)

(a)What does R. Meir say if a Nega which has spread to the entire body disappears from one of the Roshei Evarim leaving a Bohak that measures ...

1. ... a k'Adashah?

2. ... less than a k'Adashah?

(b)The Chachamim disagree (as we just learned), in the latter case. How about the former case?

13)

(a)What will the Kohen rule in the case of someone who comes to him with a Nega that covers him from head to foot?

(b)Under which circumstances will he subsequently declare him ...

1. ... a Muchlat, even though it did not diminish?

2. ... Tahor, even though it did not disappear?

(c)We already learned in the first Perek that if the two white hairs that subsequently grow on him turn black or short, he is Tahor. What if this happened to only one of them?

14)

(a)What does the Mishnah now say if a Sh'chin grows next to the two white hairs, surrounds them, or divides between them?

(b)What if it is a Michyas ha'Sh'chin, a Michvah, a Michyas ha'Michvah or a Bohak?

(c)And what will the Kohen rule if any of these happen to one of the two white hairs?

(d)Under which circumstances will the Kohen nevertheless declare any of the above Tamei?

15)

(a)What is the Din in a case where Rashei Evarim appear after the person who is covered by the Nega has been declared ...

1. ... Tahor?

2. ... a Musgar or a Muchlat?

(b)What happens if the Nega subsequently covers ...

1. ... part of the area of the Roshei Evarim that became visible?

2. ... the entire area (besides the rest of the body) in one go?

(c)In which case does the Tana then declare him Tahor?

Mishnah 8

16)

(a)The Mishnah now discusses a Nega that spreads to the entire body after being Tahor or after being Tamei. What is the case of be'Kulo Parchah ke'Achas mi'Toch ha'Taharah?

(b)On what grounds is he Tamei?

17)

(a)What is ...

1. ... Peri'ah?

2. ... Perimah?

(b)Which category of Metzora requires them and which does not (see Meleches Shlomo)?

(c)What distinction does the Tana draw between a Tahor mi'Toch Hesger and a Tahor mi'Toch Hechlet (see Mishnah Achronah)?

(d)Both cases are Metamei be'Bi'ah. What does that mean?

Mishnah 9
Hear the Mishnah

18)

(a)The Tana now discusses a Nega from head to foot which contains a Michyah k'Adashah, which subsequently spreads to the entire body, before Rashei Evarim appear on it. What does R. Yishmael mean when he considers him as if Rashei Evarim had appeared on a Baheres Gedolah?

(b)How must the Mishnah be speaking?

(c)Why is he then Tahor?

(d)What does R. Elazar ben Azaryah say?

Mishnah 10

19)

(a)In which case will a Metzora Muchlat lose by going straight to the Kohen after the Nega disappears?

(b)What might subsequently happen that will make him regret his haste?

(c)On the other hand, what will the Metzora gain by going straight to the Kohen? What might have happened to make him pleased that he did not delay?

(d)What is the basis of these two opposite rulings?
