הזב והזבה. שצריכין לספור שבעה נקיים, ופסקו מראייתן והתחילו לספור, ובדקו יום ראשון ושביעי כו׳:
אין להם אלא יום ראשון ושביעי בלבד. וצריכין לספור עוד חמשה. ימים נקיים, כדי להשלים לשבעה:
ר׳ עקיבא אומר אין להם אלא שביעי. שמא ראו בינתיים וסתרו ספירתן הראשונה. והלכה כר׳ אליעזר:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Niddah Perek 10 Mishnah 4
נדה פרק י׳ משנה ד׳
Bartenura
מטמאים במשא – The Gemara (Tractate Niddah 69b) raises an objection: Does not every corpse convey uncleanness through carrying (i.e., why did the Mishnah restrict to only the cases mentioned)? But rather, carriage means through a stone used for closing a pit (i.e., the corpse was put on a closing – immovable-stone). That is to say, a large and heavy stone that is not carried. But if it (i.e., the stone) is placed upon utensils and the corpse is upon it, this is not carrying, for appropriate to be carried with it, and the rest of the corpses do not defile but thee define according to the Rabbis. For since according to the Torah, when a living person [who is impure] defiles with a stone used for closing a pit for they defile while sitting anything that is underneath them, they [the Rabbis for those individuals after death] decreed lest they faint and it is similar to death, but if one should say that a dead person with gonorrhea does not defile, a living person with gonorrhea who faints would lead to defiling.
עד שימוק הבשר – that from now, the person is certainly dead.
נכרי שמת – even though while he is alive, he is like a person with gonorrhea for -all matters and defiles with a stone used for closing a pit, once he dies, he is pure from defiling with a stone used for closing a pit, for the defilement of flux is upon him while alive, but [his defilement] is only from the words of the Scribes.
כל הנשים- they are under the presumption of being menstruant women, and we immerse utensils that were upon them near the time that their souls departed even though they didn’t touch them after death. Because at first they would immerse utensils that are upon all menstruant women that died, but the living menstruant women were embarrassed, for even in their deaths they were different from other women, [the Rabbis] enacted that they would immerse that which is upon all women, because of the honor of the living menstruating women.
ובית הלל אומרים אין נדה שלא שמנצה נדה – The School of Hillel does not hold by this enactment.
מטמאין במשא. בגמרא פריך, אטו כל מת מי לא מטמא במשא. אלא מאי במשא, באבן מסמא. כלומר אבן גדולה וכבדה שאינה מיטלטלת. ואם היא מונחת על גבי כלים ומת נתון עליה אין זה משא, הואיל ואינה ראויה להטלטל עמו, ושאר מתים לא מטמו, והני מטמו מדרבנן, הואיל ומחיים מטמו באבן מסמא מדאורייתא שהרי מטמאים מושב כל שתחתיהן, גזור (בהו רבנן לאחר מיתה) שמא יתעלפו ודומה למת, ואי אמרת זב מת אינו מטמא, בזב חי שנתעלף אתי לטהורי:
עד שימוק הבשר. דמהשתא הוי מת ודאי:
נכרי שמת. אע״ג דמחיים הרי הוא כזב לכל דבריו ומטמא באבן מסמא, משמת, טהור מלטמא באבן מסמא, הואיל וטומאת זיבה שעליו מחיים אינה אלא מדברי סופרים:
כל הנשים. מחזקינן להו כנדות, ומטבילין כלים שהיו עליהן סמוך ליציאת נשמה אע״פ שלא נגעו בהן לאחר מיתה. לפי שבראשונה היו מטבילין כלים על גבי נדות מתות, והיו נדות חיות מתביישות, שאפילו במיתתן הן משונות משאר נשים, התקינו שיהיו מטבילין על גבי כל הנשים, מפני כבודן של נדות חיות:
ובית הלל אומרים אין נדה אלא שמתה נדה. דלית להו לבית הלל האי תקנתא:
