Nidah 62
***************GIRSA SECTION********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach, Rav B. Rensburg
and the parenthetical marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is
devoted to any *OTHER* changes that we feel ought to be made in Gemara,
Rashi or Tosfos.)
[1] Gemara 62b [line 3]:
"Ma'avir Alav 7 Samanim *u'Mevatlo*"
The Rambam's Girsa was
"Ma'avir Alav 7 Samanim *v'Tovlo*" (Aruch la'Ner 61b)
[2] Rashi 62b DH Taharosav:
The words "*v'Af Al Pi* she'Yachol"
should be "*Af Al Pi* she'Yachol"
************************************************
*1*) [line 2] HAREI ZEH TZEVA - that is, even if Dam Nidah *had* once
fallen on the garment, the mark that remains after using the seven

mark". (TOSFOS DH HITBILO, according to his second, and simpler
explanation)
2) [line 4] DEIHAH - it became faint
3) [line 6] LE'ISAS - chewed-up mass
4) [line 7] CHALUKAS *NEFESH* -

*18*) [last line] SHE'HAREI HIKPID ALAV - That is, at the time he washed
it, the blood bothered him. Although no blood remains by now, the garment

washed.
62b---------------------------------------62b
19) [line 6] CHARASIN - pottery shards
20) [line 25] DAM TEVUSAH
When there is a doubt as to whether blood came out while the person was
still alive or after he died, it is not Metamei mid'Oraisa. The Rabanan
decreed that it is Tamei. There are various opinions on Daf 71 as to the
scenario which creates Dam Tevusah.
