(a) Abaye asks on Resh Lakish (who learnt from 'Yomar Teme'ei Meisim, ve'Al Yomar Zavin u'Metzora'in', that, by a Pesach ha'Ba be'Tum'ah, Teme'ei Meisim bring the Korban Pesach *Rishon*, and not the *Sheni*) - maybe we ought to say 'Yomar Zavin u'Teme'ei Meisim, ve'Al Yomar Metzora (because of a Kol she'Kein) ... Ela Yesh Lecha Sha'ah, she'Metzora'in Mishtalechin, ve'Ein *Zavin u'Teme'ei Meisim* Mishtalechin; ve'Eizeh, Zeh Pesach ha'Ba be'Tum'ah' (which puts Zavin on a par with Temei'ei Mes in this regard)?

(b) This suggestion is unacceptable - because of the Beraisa, which emphatically writes that all other Tum'os, with the exception of Tum'as Mes be'Tzibur, must bring the Pesach Sheni.

(c) Abaye ultimately learns that Pesach ha'Ba be'Tum'ah (by Tum'as Mes only) brings the Pesach Rishon (and is not disqualified completely from bringing the Korban Pesach), from the original Pasuk of "Ish Ish Ki Yihye Tamei *la'Nefesh*". "la'Nefesh" cannot come to disqualify other Tum'os from bringing the Pesach altogether - because of the Beraisa, which learns from "Ish Ish", that all Tum'os who are unable to bring the Pesach Rishon, must bring the Pesach Sheni. Consequently, "la'Nefesh" must be coming to tell us that Tum'as Mes is different inasmuch as there are occasions when he brings the Pesach Rishon (i.e. when the Tzibur are Tamei Mes), whereas other Tum'os do not.

(a) Rav Chisda learns (with regard to the La'v of "ve'Lo Yetam'u es Machaneihem") from the Asei of "Badad Yeshev, Michutz la'Machaneh Moshavo" - that a Metzora who enters the borders that are forbidden to him, does not receive Malkos (because it is a La'v ha'Nitak la'Asei). The borders of a Metzora are inside the walls of any Jewish town.

(b) We learn from "va'Yikach Moshe es Atzmos Yosef Imo" - that it is not only a Tamei Mes who is permitted inside the Machaneh Leviyah, but even a corpse itself.

(c) Rav Chisda's statement is actually a Machlokes Tana'im; The Tana of this Beraisa who states that both a Metzora and a Zav who entered an area that is forbidden to them receive Malkos, learns from 'Badad Yeshev, Michutz la'Machaneh Moshavo", that a Metzora must leave even the third camp (Machaneh Yisrael) where a Zav is permitted.

(d) "Kol Yemei Asher ha'Nega Bo" - implies that whenever the Metzora enters an area that is forbidden to him, he must leave it, to be alone once again; whereas "Badad Yeshev, Michutz la'Machaneh Moshavo" - may well be confined to a Metzora who is outside the forbidden area, but not necessarily to once he has entered it.

(a) Rebbi Shimon maintains that having taugght us that Tamei Mes is obligated to leave the camp, why does the Torah need to add a Zav, and having added a Zav, why does it need to add a Tzaru'a? If it is not to teach us that a Zav must leave one Machaneh more than a Tamei Mes, and a Tzaru'a one Machaneh more than a Zav - leaving "Badad Yeshev" ... to add an Asei (like Rav Chisda).

(b) A Tamei Mes has a Chumra over a Zav inasmuch as he requires sprinkling with the ashes of the Parah Adumah on the third and the seventh days.

(c) We learn that a Tamei Sheretz must leave the camp - from the extra word "*ve'Chol* Tamei la'Nefesh".

(d) The first sighting of a Zav is Metamei be'O'nes just like a Tamei Sheretz is.

1. ... "Badad Yeshev" - 'Levado Yeshev, she'Lo Yihyu Temei'im Acherim Yoshvim Imo' (i.e. Zavin and Temei'ei Meisim).
2. ... "ve'Lo Yetam'u es Machaneihem" - that the Zavin and the Temei'ei Meisim must have separate Machanos (namely, the Har ha'Bayis and the Machaneh Leviyah respectively.

5)

(a) A Metzora is more stringent than a Zav inasmuch as he is forbidden to cut his hair, is obligated to rent his clothes and is forbidden to have marital relations (at least, for the duration that he is locked up).

(b) A Zav is more stringent than a Metzora inasmuch as he is Metamei Mishkav and Moshav and renders an earthenware vessel Tamei by moving it.

(c) A Metzora does in fact, make a Mishkav and a Moshav, too, only he renders what he lies or sits on a Rishon, whereas a Zav renders what he lies or sits on, an Av.

(a) A Metzora is more stringent than a Ba'l Keri in the same three areas that he is more stringent than a Zav (see 5a.)

(b) This Tana holds like Rebbi Nasan - that a Ba'l Keri requires 'ka'Chasimas Pi ha'Amah' (which he learns from "*ve'Chol* Zav") , and not a Mashehu. Consequently, there is no area in which a Ba'l Keri is more stringent than a Metzora.

(c) In fact, we do not learn anything from *"ve'Chol* Tzaru'a" - however, since the Torah wrote "ve'Chol Zav" (as we just explained), it also writes "ve'Chol Tzaru'a".

8)

(a) The two Machanos from which a Ba'l Keri is sent out are the Machaneh Shechinah and the Machaneh Levi'ah.

(b) The Mechilos are the tunnels underneath the Azarah. According to Rebbi Yochanan, they were not sanctified.

(a) The Beraisa compares him a Ba'l Keri to a Maga Sheretz - with regard to Metamei be'O'nes (unlike the Zav to whom the Ba'l Keri is otherwise similar).

(b) The Tana cannot be referring to the duration of its Tum'ah i.e. until nightfall - because the Torah specifically writes this with regards to both a Maga Sheretz and a Ba'l Keri, so we do not require a Pasuk to teach us this.
