Vayikra 15

15:29

וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁמִינִי תִּֽקַּֽח־לָהּ שְׁתֵּי תֹרִים אוֹ שְׁנֵי בְּנֵי יוֹנָה וְהֵבִיאָה אוֹתָם אֶל־הַכֹּהֵן אֶל־פֶּתַח אֹהֶל מוֹעֵֽד׃

On the eighth day she shall take for herself, two turtledoves or two young pigeons and she shall bring them to the kohein, to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

On the eighth day she shall take for herself, two turtledoves or two young pigeons and she shall bring them to the kohein, to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

15:30

וְעָשָׂה הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הָאֶחָד חַטָּאת וְאֶת־הָאֶחָד עֹלָה וְכִפֶּר עָלֶיהָ הַכֹּהֵן לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה מִזּוֹב טֻמְאָתָֽהּ׃

The kohein shall do (offer) one as a sin-offering and the [other] one as a burnt-offering. The kohein will atone for her before Adonoy from her discharge-impurity.

The kohein shall do (offer) one as a sin-offering and the [other] one as a burnt-offering. The kohein will atone for her before Adonoy from her discharge-impurity.

15:31

וְהִזַּרְתֶּם אֶת־בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל מִטֻּמְאָתָם וְלֹא יָמֻתוּ בְּטֻמְאָתָם בְּטַמְּאָם אֶת־מִשְׁכָּנִי אֲשֶׁר בְּתוֹכָֽם׃

You shall separate Bnei Yisroel from their impurities and they will not die because of their impurities through their defilement of My dwelling in their midst.

You shall separate Bnei Yisroel from their impurities and they will not die because of their impurities through their defilement of My dwelling in their midst.

Rashi

והזרתם. אֵין נְזִירָה אֶלָּא פְרִישָׁה וְכֵן נָזֹרוּ אָחוֹר (ישעיהו א'), וְכֵן נְזִיר אֶחָיו (בראשית מ"ט):

והזרתם THUS SHALL YE PUT APART [THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL] — The word נזר has wherever it occurs the meaning of "separating". Similar is (Isaiah 1:4) “they are gone away (נזורו) backward" ; (Genesis 49:26) “him that was separated from (נזיר) his brethren” (Sifra, Metzora Parashat Zavim, Chapter 9 6).

ולא ימתו בטמאתם. הֲרֵי הִכָּרֵת שֶׁל מְטַמֵּא מִקְדָּשׁ קָרוּי מִיתָה:

ולא ימתו בטמאתם THAT THEY DIE NOT IN THEIR UNCLEANNESS [WHEN THEY DEFILE MY TABERNACLE] — Thus you see that the penalty of “excision” to which one who defiles the Holy Place is subject (cf. Numbers 19:13) is here called מיתה (i. e. מיתה בידי שמים) (cf. Sifrei Bamidbar 125).

15:32

זֹאת תּוֹרַת הַזָּב וַאֲשֶׁר תֵּצֵא מִמֶּנּוּ שִׁכְבַת־זֶרַע לְטׇמְאָה־בָֽהּ׃

This is the law of the zov and of him from whom semen issues to become impure through it.

This is the law of the zov and of him from whom semen issues to become impure through it.

Rashi

זאת תורת הזב. בַּעַל רְאִיָּה אַחַת, וּמַהוּ תוֹרָתוֹ?

זאת תורת הזב THIS IS THE LAW OF HIM THAT HATH AN ISSUE, i.e. anyone who has but one appearance of flux. And what is his law?

ואשר תצא ממנו שכבת זרע — הֲרֵי הוּא כְּבַעַל קֶרִי, טָמֵא טֻמְאַת עֶרֶב:

ואשר תצא ממנו שכבת זרע, he is like him to whom a pollution happened: he is unclean with an uncleanness lasting only till the evening (Sifra, Metzora Parashat Zavim, Chapter 9 8; cf. v. 16).

15:33

וְהַדָּוָה בְּנִדָּתָהּ וְהַזָּב אֶת־זוֹבוֹ לַזָּכָר וְלַנְּקֵבָה וּלְאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יִשְׁכַּב עִם־טְמֵאָֽה׃ {פ}

For the menstruant during her period of separation and for one who has a discharge for a male and for a female; and for the man that will lie conjugally with an impure woman.

For the menstruant during her period of separation and for one who has a discharge for a male and for a female; and for the man that will lie conjugally with an impure woman.

Rashi

והזב את זובו. בַּעַל שְׁתֵּי רְאִיּוֹת, וּבַעַל שָׁלוֹשׁ רְאִיּוֹת, שֶׁתּוֹרָתָן מְפֹרֶשֶׁת לְמַעְלָה:

והזב את זובו — This refers to anyone who has two appearances and to anyone who has three appearances, the law regarding whom is set forth above (cf. Rashi on v. 3).
