APPENDIX IV THE RULES OF UNCLEANNESS (From Eliyahu Rabbah, a commentary on the Division ‘Tohoroth’, by Elijah, the Gaon of Wilna, 1720-97) 1. There are twelve uncleannesses which include every kind of uncleanness: (a) There are six which issue from the human person: (i) that of a man or (ii) a woman who has a flux (Lev. 1 5*- 25); (iii) of a menstruant (Lev. 1 51 *); (iv) of a woman after childbirth (Lev. 12*); (v) of a leper (Lev. 1 3lff); and (vi) male semen (Lev. 15**).
(b) There are three ‘contact-uncleannesses’ or things which, when dead, convey uncleanness to those who touch them: (i) a corpse (Num. 1911)', (ii) carrion (Lev. n2,>3*); and (iii) creeping things (Lev. ii**-3’).
(c) There are three deeds whereby uncleanness is suffered even without contact: (i) the burning of the Red Heifer (Num. ig?) — howbeit the ashes thereof (Num. 1910) and the Sin-offering water (Num. 1921) convey un¬ cleanness only by contact and carrying; (ii) the burning of the bullocks and the he-goats which must be burnt (Lev.4,!- 11 ■ 2®; i627, 28); and (iii) the leading away of the Scapegoat (Lev. 16**).
2. These seven suffer seven-day uncleanness: (i) a man or (ii) a woman who has a flux (Lev. is13, *8); (iii) a menstruant (Lev. 1 5 1 9); (iv) a woman after childbirth (Lev. 12*); (v) one who has connexion with a menstruant (Lev. 15s4); (vi) a leper in his days of reckoning (Lev. 148); and (vii) one who has contracted uncleanness from a corpse (Num. 1911).
THE RULES OF UNCLEANNESS 801 3. (a) Fathers of Uncleanness in a man who has a flux are: (i) his bare flesh; ii) his ‘fountains’, viz. his flux, semen, urine, and spittle (which includes the phlegm of his lungs, throat, and nose); and (iii) w'hat he lies, sits, or rides on (save that what he rides on renders garments unclean by contact only and not by carrying).
(b) The like applies to a woman who has a flux, to a menstruant, a woman after childbirth, and a leper; save that whereas male flux and male semen belong not to a woman, she has two other things which correspond, for she renders him unclean who has connexion with her so that he conveys unclean¬ ness to men and to earthenware vessels, and in place of his flux is her menstrual blood.
4. (a) Fathers of Uncleanness in a corpse are: (i) a whole corpse; (ii) an olive’s bulk of a corpse or of corpse-dregs; (iii) a ladleful of corpse-mould; (iv) the backbone or the skull; (v) a member from the corpse; (vi) a member severed from a living man; (vii) a quarter-Auo from the greatest in bulk or the greatest in number of the bones (of a corpse), or from the greater part of the corpse or from the greatest number of its parts; (viii) a quarter-/og of blood, or ‘mingled-blood’ (Ohol. 3s); (ix) more than a ladleful of grave dust.
(b) These all convey uncleanness by contact, by carrying, and by over¬ shadowing, save that a ladleful of corpse-mould and more than a ladleful of grave-dust do not convey uncleanness by contact.
5. (a) A barleycorn’s bulk (i) of bone, (ii) of land belonging to gentiles, (iii) of a Grave-area, (iv) of a member which is severed from a living man or corpse and which lacks its proper flesh, convey uncleanness by contact and by carrying but not by overshadowing.
(b) A sepulchre-stone and its buttressing stone convey uncleanness by contact and by overshadowing but not by carrying; and the same applies to a closed grave.
6. There are three manners of overshadowing by which uncleanness is conveyed: (i) what overshadows a corpse, (ii) what a corpse overshadows, and (iii) what is overshadowed by something which also overshadows a corpse.
7. If a man (who has touched a corpse) touches vessels and these vessels touch a man, they all alike become Fathers of Uncleanness (cf. 12 d, 17 u).
8. (a) Fathers of Uncleanness in carrion are: (i) an olive’s bulk of the flesh, (ii) a severed member from the dead beast, and (iii) a severed member from the living beast.
(6) Similarly, in creeping things, Fathers of Uncleanness are: (i) a lentil’s bulk of the flesh, (ii) a severed member from the dead thing, and (iii) a severed member from the living thing.
9. He who bums the Red Heifer, all who are occupied therewith, from the beginning to the end, and he who touches or carries its ashes and the Sin-offering water, render garments unclean; and they who bum the bullocks, viz. the three bullocks (Lev. 412- 21; 16*®), and the two he-goats (Lev. 4“; 16*7) and all who are occupied therewith, convey uncleanness after they are come forth from the wall of the Temple Court (on their way to the Place of Burning) and until they have reduced it to ashes; and he who leads away the Scapegoat — after he is come forth from the wall of Jerusalem.
10. Semen in itself is a Father of Uncleanness; a gentile is in every respect like to a man who suffers a flux; and a Samaritan is like to a man who has connexion with a menstruant.
11. There are three things leprous: (i) leprosy-signs in a man, (ii) leprosy signs in houses, and (iii) leprosy signs in garments, whether in the warp or in the woof, or in leather.
12. (a) Of the ‘Fathers’ spoken of, all convey uncleanness by carrying, excepting semen, a leper in his days of reckoning (Lev. 148), vessels which touch a corpse, a man who touches a corpse, Sin-offering water that is 3F APPENDIX IV insufficient for a sprinkling, and a creeping thing; they convey uncleanness by contact but not by carrying.
(6) None of them conveys uncleanness by overshadowing excepting a corpse and whatsoever is severed from it.
(<r) Leprosy-signs convey uncleanness (to whatsoever is in a house) by ‘entering in’ (cf. Lev. 134®), but not by overshadowing.
( d ) They none of them convey seven-day uncleanness excepting a corpse and whatsoever is severed from it, which convey uncleanness to all who touch them; and a man who has touched vessels which had touched a corpse or a man who had touched a corpse or aught severed from it, conveys seven-day uncleanness to vessels.
13. They are the twelve, and they are from the words of the Law. There is yet another uncleanness which is from the words of the Scribes: the uncleanness of idolatry, wherein are three uncleannesses — the idol itself, its appurtenances and what is offered to it; also wine that had certainly been poured out in its honour. They all convey uncleanness after the manner of a creeping thing (see 16, 12a).
14. (a) Carrion, whether of wild animals, unclean or clean cattle, conveys uncleanness by contact and by carrying, but it does not convey ‘gullet- uncleanness’, since that is a hidden place.
(6) In carrion the flesh and the members alone convey uncleanness: the skin, bones, sinews, horns, hoofs, and blood do not convey uncleanness; and the same applies to the fat from carrion or clean cattle.
( c ) Carrion of a clean bird has but the one uncleanness — when there is an olive’s bulk of it in the (eater’s) gullet; but an unclean bird, clean and unclean fishes and locusts, have no uncleanness at all.
15. (a) The Red Heifer Sin-offering conveys uncleanness to those who slaughter it or receive or sprinkle the blood, or bum it or assist thereat, or who throw the cedar-wood.
(b) Its ashes and the Sin-offering water convey uncleanness. The Sin- offering water is of two kinds — what is sufficient and what is insufficient for a sprinkling; that which is sufficient conveys uncleanness by contact and by- carrying, and that which is insufficient conveys uncleanness by contact but not by carrying.
16. (a) Six kinds of utensil, if they touch a corpse, become Fathers of Uncleanness, viz. such as are made of metal, wood, leather, bone, cloth, or sacking.
( b ) Two kinds of utensil contract uncleanness but do not become Fathers of Uncleanness, viz. such as are made of earthenware or alum-crystal (also, according to the words of the Scribes, such as are made of glass).
(e) Three kinds of utensil do not contract uncleanness (whether according to the words of the Law or according to the words of the Scribes), viz. such as are made of stone, cattle-dung, or earth (unbaked clay).
( d ) There are six kinds of metal utensil, viz. such as are made of gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, or lead.
(e) Utensils made from the skin or bone of clean or unclean cattle, wild animals or birds or from creeping things (save only the wing of the vulture) or from unclean locusts or fish or anything in the sea, are all of them insus¬ ceptible to uncleanness; but if to what comes out of the sea aught soever was joined that grows on the earth, it is susceptible to uncleanness.
17. (a) A corpse, and whatsoever is severed from it, can convey unclean¬ ness through seven removes: viz. by touching (1) vessels, which touch (2) a man, who touches (3) vessels (all three themselves becoming Fathers of Uncleanness), which can render (4) common food unclean at a first remove (conveying to it ‘first-grade uncleanness’) and also (5) at a second remove (whereby it suffers 'second-grade uncleanness’) and also (6) at a third remove THE RULES OK UNCLEANNESS 803 to Heave-offering (making it invalid with ‘third-grade uncleanness’) and also (7) at a fourth remove to Hallowed Things (making them invalid with ‘fourth- grade uncleanness ’).
(b) A man or woman who suffers a flux, a menstruant, a woman after childbirth, and a leper, can convey uncleanness through six removes: what they (1) lie, sit, or ride on, and their ‘fountains’ convey uncleanness to (2) a man, so that he renders (3) vessels unclean by contact, and common food at a first remove (whereby it suffers ‘first-grade uncleanness’) and also (4) at a second remove (whereby it suffers ‘second-grade uncleanness’) and also (5) at a third remove to Heave-offering (making it invalid with ‘third-grade uncleanness’) and also (6) at a fourth remove to Hallowed Things (making them invalid with ‘fourth-grade uncleanness’).
(c) The other Fathers of Uncleanness can convey uncleanness through five removes: they render (1) a man unclean, so that he renders (2) utensils unclean, and common food at a first remove (whereby it suffers ‘first-grade uncleanness’) and also (3) at a second remove (whereby it suffers ‘second-grade uncleanness’) and also (4) at a third remove to Heave-offering (making it invalid with ‘third-grade uncleanness’) and also (5) at a fourth remove to Hallowed Things (making them invalid with ‘fourth-grade uncleanness’).
(d) Creeping things and semen can convey uncleanness through four removes: to common food at (1) a first remove, and also (2) at a second remove; and to Heave-offering (3) at a third remove; and to Hallowed Things (4) at a fourth remove.
18. (a) An earthenware vessel never becomes a Father of Uncleanness.
(b) So, too, foodstuffs and liquids never become Fathers of Uncleanness (excepting the ‘fountains’ of a man or a woman who has a flux, a menstruant, a woman after childbirth, a leper, a gentile, a man who has connexion with a menstruant, blood from a corpse, blood from a creeping thing, and Sin- offering water.
(c) No creatures having life convey or contract uncleanness, excepting man: the Scapegoat conveys uncleanness to him who leads it away, but is itself clean.
19. These are Fathers of Uncleanness according to the words of the Scribes: (a) mingled-blood (Ohol. 3s), ( b ) land belonging to gentiles (both the clods of it and the air of it), (c) a Grave-area (of which there are three kinds: a field wherein is a lost grave, a field wherein a grave has been ploughed up, and a field wherein are tomb-niches), ( d ) the dwellings of gentiles, (e) intertwined branches, (/) stones jutting out from walls, (g) any one who touches the foetus of one in hard travail, ( h ) coffins in which is an empty space of one handbreadth (cf. Ber. 196), (/) aught that overhangs to the extent of the thickness of an ox-goad, ( k ) terefah that has been slaughtered, and (l) the hide of a man.
20. These, according to the words of the Scribes, convey uncleanness as by their flux: (a) a Samaritan conveys uncleanness by what he lies, sits, or rides on, by his spittle (including the phlegm of his lungs, throat, or nose), and by his urine; and ( b ) the daughters of the Samaritans even from their cradles (convey uncleanness in like manner), as also do the gentiles (see 21. A man or a woman who has a flux, a menstruant, a woman after child¬ birth, or a leper, who have died, convey uncleanness to what they lie, sit, or ride on, and also to what lies above them (although it is not touched by them).
22. (Also Fathers of Uncleanness, according to the words of the Scribes, are) the daughters of the Samaritans, who convey uncleanness to those who have connexion with them; mens truants who await a day (of cleanness) over against a day (of uncleanness); the uncleanness of the Am-haarets whose garments are unclean as by mdrat-uncleanness for Pharisees, and that of APPENDIX IV Pharisees whose garments are unclean as by mu/ras-uncleanness for those who eat of Heave-offering, and that of those who eat of Heave-offering whose garments are unclean as by midras-undeanness for those who eat of Hallowed Things, and that of those who eat of Hallowed Things whose garments are unclean as by midrar-uncleanness for those who sprinkle the Sin-offering water.
23. There are six classes of leprosy signs: (a) those in the skin of the flesh, (b) a boil or a burning, (c) scalp-baldness or forehead-baldness, (d) tetters, (e) the signs in garments, and (/) the signs in houses.
Such as arise in the skin of the flesh may need (shutting up during) two weeks and (are judged by) three tokens; scalp-baldness and forehead-baldness may need (shutting up during) two weeks and (are judged by) two tokens; tetters may need (shutting up during) two weeks and (are judged by) two tokens; a boil or a burning may need (shutting up during) two weeks and i are judged by) two tokens; signs in garments may need (shutting up during) two weeks and (are judged by) one token; signs in houses may need (shutting up during) three weeks and (are judged by) one token. The 'spreading* betokens uncleanness in all the four colours, whether in the skin of the flesh, or in the boil, or in the burning, or in the scalp-baldness, or in the forehead¬ baldness. There are two colours (of the leprosy signs) in garments and likewise in houses.
