But for [defilement caused by] seka koth [overhanging boughs] or pera`oth [protruding bricks] or a [field that is a] Beth Peras, or land of the Gentiles or the golel [covering stone] or dofek [side stones] of a tomb, or a quarter [-log] of blood, or a tent [in which is a corpse], or a quarter [-Kab] of bones, or utensils that have been in contact with a corpse, or [the defilement of a leper`s] tale of days or his period of declared leprosy; for all these the Nazirite is not required to poll. He must, however, be sprinkled on the third and seventh [days], whilst [the uncleanness] does not render void the former period, but he commences to resume counting [his Naziriteship] immediately [after purification] and there is no sacrifice. [The Sages] said in fact that the days of [defilement of] a male or female sufferer from gonorrhoea and the days that a leper is shut up are reckoned [as part of the Naziriteship]. |

R. Eliezer said on behalf of R. Joshua that every defilement [conveyed]
By a corpse for which a Nazirite must poll entails a liability for one
entering the Sanctuary [whilst thus defiled], and every defilement
[conveyed] By a corpse for which a Nazirite is not required to poll does
not entail a liability for one entering the Sanctuary [while so
defiled]. R. Meir said: such [defilement] should not be less serious
than [defilement through] a reptile. |
