A High Priest and a Nazirite may not defile themselves [by contact] with
their [dead] relatives, but they may defile themselves with a Meth
mizwah. |
נזיר 7.1 |
The Nazirite must poll for [defilement contracted from] the following sources of defilement:for a corpse, or an olive`s bulk of [the flesh of] a corpse, or an olive`s bulk of nezel, or a ladleful of corpse-mould, or the spinal column, or the skull, or any limb [severed] from a corpse or any limb [severed] from a living body that is still properly covered with flesh, or a half-Kab of bones, or a half-log of blood, whether [the defilement is con tracted] from contact with them, from carrying them, or from overshadowing them; for [defilement contracted from] a barley-grain`s bulk of bone, whether by contact or carrying. On account of these, a Nazirite must poll and be sprinkled on the third and seventh days; such [defilement] makes void the previous period, whilst he does not begin to count anew [his Naziriteship] until he has become clean and brought his sacrifices. |
