נשפך באויר. בתוך הבית:
אם היה מקומו קטפרס. אם המקום שנשפך בו הדם היה מדרון:
והאהיל. אדם על מקצתו:
טהור. דקטפרס אינו חיבור:
היה אשבורן. מקום המכונס כמו בתוך גומא:
או שקרש הדם ואפילו קטפרס, הוי חיבור וטמא, ואפילו האהיל על קצתו:
נשפך על האסקופה. כמין אצטבא שלפני פתח הבית:
והיא קטפרס בין מבפנים. שמשפע לצד פנים:
בין מבחוץ. שמשפע לצד חוץ:
והבית מאהיל. על מקצתו, טהור כל מה שבבית מטומאת אוהל, אע״פ שסופו של דם לירד לפנים, דאינו חיבור:
חוץ מן השינים והשער והצפורן. דכתיב (במדבר י״ט) בעצם, מה עצם שנברא עמו ואין גזעו מחליף, אף כל שנברא עמו ואין גזעו מחליף. יצאו שינים שלא נבראו עמו, יצאו שער וצפורן שגזען מחליף:

אהלות פרק ג׳ משנה ד׳
Bartenura
הבית טמא – all that is inside [the house] is impure, for it overshadows on the hair that is connected to the corpse.
עצם שיש עליו כזית בשר – the bone is considered a handle for the flesh.
תחובים בידי אדם – for the flesh is not connected to the bone from its essence, but rather a person inserted it thee in the manner that we insert the flesh on a spit.
הבית טמא. כל מה שבתוכו טמא, שהרי מאהיל על השער המחובר למת:
עצם שיש עליו כזית בשר. העצם נחשב יד לבשר:
תחובים בידי אדם. שלא היה הבשר מחובר לעצם מעיקרו, אלא אדם תחבו לשם כדרך שתוחבים הבשר בשפוד:

In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.
