Mishnah Oholot 3:5: What is mixed blood? The blood of a corpse of which a Sheminit [specific unit of volume] came out during his lifetime and a Sheminit after his death, the words of Rabbi Akiva. Rabbi Yishmael says: a Revi'it during his lifetime and a Revi'it after his death, he took a Revi'it from this and from that. Rabbi Elazar bar Judah says: both this and that are as water. What then is mixed blood? A crucified person whose blood is pouring out and under him there is found a Revi'it of blood—it is impure. But a corpse whose blood drips out and under him there is found a Revi'it of blood, [the blood] is pure. Rabbi Judah says: This is not so, but that which pours out is pure and that which drips out is impure. |
איזהו דם תבוסה. המת שיצא ממנו שמינית בחייו ושמינית במותו. דברי ר' עקיבא. רבי ישמעאל אומר רביעית בחייו ורביעית במותו. ניטל מזה ומזה רביעית ר' אליעזר בר' יהודה אומר זה וזה במים. איזהו דם תבוסה. צלוב שדמו שותת. ונמצא תחתיו רביעית דם טמא. אבל המת שדמו מנטף. ונמצא תחתיו רביעית דם טהור. רבי יהודה אומר לא כי אלא השותת טהור. והמנטף טמא: |
Mishnah Oholot 3:6: An olive-sized piece of a corpse, an opening [in the room in which it is found] of one handbreadth, and for a corpse, an opening of four handbreadths [is enough] to save the impurity from [spreading to the other] openings; But for the impurity to go out, a handbreadth's space [is enough]. Greater than the bulk of an olive is [considered] like a corpse. Rabbi Yose says: the spine and the skull are [considered] like a corpse. |
כזית מן המת פתחו בטפח. והמת פתחו בארבעה טפחים להציל הטומאה על הפתחים. אבל להוציא הטומאה. בפותח טפח. גדול מכזית כמת. רבי יוסי אומר השדרה והגולגולת כמת: |
