**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
יושבת טהורה – In the Gemara (Tractate Niddah 59b in the words of Rabbi Abba) we establish that while she is siting on the edge of the bowl/basin and the urine splashes/brings forth an uninterrupted jet into it with power, but there is no path for the blood of the interior of the womb to go out with the urine, but if after the water has stopped, this blood comes from the interior of the womb, the blood was not found within the bowl /basin, but on the edge, for the blood that comes from the interior of the womb flows gently/comes down slowly and does not splash/bring forth an uninterrupted jet, but this blood that is found within the bowl/basin perforce comes from the place of the urine and there is a force there, but not from the interior of the womb. But while she is standing at the edge of the basin and splashes an uninterrupted jet within the bowl, it was not possible to straighten her up, for when she is standing it is impossible for her to splash/bring forth an uninterrupted jet, for this reason it was necessary for the Tanna/teacher [of the Mishnah] to hold [the tradition] of “sitting.”

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
רבי יוסי אומר בין כך ובין כך טהורה – and the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yossi.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
רבי יוסי מטהר – for even for a woman alone for which there is only one doubt, that is the doubt of whether it (i.e., the blood) comes from the interior of the womb or whether it comes from the place of the urine, Rabbi Yossi declares her pure above (see previous Mishnah), and all the more so if here if it comes from a man. But the Tanna/teacher here does not repeat that Rabbi Yossi declares her pure but rather to teach us from an extraneous Mishnah that even ab initio, Rabbi Yossi declares pure a woman who performed her needs (i.e., urination) and saw blood, that she should occupy herself in purity, and not state specifically that post-facto Rabbi Yossi declares her to maintain her purity that she was engaged with, but ab initio we state that she is not occupied in purity, this comes to teach us that the opposite is true.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
שחזקת דמים מן האשה – and above (i.e., in the previous Mishnah), we determined that the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yossi who declares her to be pure with one doubt, and all the more so here when there is a compound uncertainty.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
לנכרית או לנדה – to a heathen woman that she sees blood, that she is an adult and we knew about her that she had already seen it (i.e., blood), similar to a menstruating woman/Niddah.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
הרי זו תולה בה – but she [herself] is pure. For since she (i.e., the woman who had borrowed it) was a menstruating woman, it did not put her into disarray at all. And a heathen woman also is impure and she receives blame for it. But an Israelite is pure that borrowed a garment from her pure female friend, and afterwards, her friend wore it, both of them are impure, as it is taught [further on in our Mishnah]: three women, etc. for since if she had not blamed it, it would disarray/upset her, for what good is something that upsets this one (i.e., woman) more than that one?

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
של אבן – that is not susceptible to receive [ritual] impurity. But the bench [that we are speaking of] in the first clause [of the Mishnah] is made of wood and it is appropriate to be defiled through the sitting of a person with gonorrhea or the menstruating woman.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
אין מקבל כתמים – meaning to say that they (i.e., the Rabbis) did not make a decree on the bloodstains that are found on it. And the reason of Rabbi Nehemiah, as it is written (Isaiah 3:26): “[And her gates shall lament and mourn,] And she shall be emptied, shall sit on the ground/ונקתה לארץ תשב (see also Lamentations 2:8), since she sat on the ground that is not susceptible to receive [ritual] uncleanness, she shall be emptied/cleaned. And the same law applies to all things that are not susceptible to receive [ritual] uncleanness. And similarly, if she sat in connection with an earthenware utensil, that is not susceptible to receive [ritual] uncleanness from the outside (see Tractate Niddah 60b), or on a patch/strip of cloth that lacks three [handbreadths] by three [handbreadths] that is not susceptible to receive [ritual] uncleanness, in all of these, they (i.e., the Sages) did not decree on bloodstains that are found on them. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Nehemiah.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ותולות זו בזו – that if the one [who saw blood] was pregnant, she blames the blood on the one who is not pregnant, and she is pure.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ואם לא היו ראויות – as for example that all of them were pregnant or all of them were nursing mothers, all of them are impure as if they are apt to see [blood], for nevertheless, blood fell from between them.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
תחת הפנימית – the one [woman] of the side where the wall is called the “inside,” and the “outer” is called to that one of the side through the path of ascending to the bed. And that which the Tanna/teacher [of the Mishnah] distinguishes here between that which is found underneath the “inside” to that found underneath the “outside,” for above (in the previous Mishnah) where it is taught, “and if blood is found under one of them, all of them are impure,” he doesn’t distinguish between that found underneath the “inside” and that found underneath the “outside,” it explains in the Gemara (Tractate Niddah 61a) that above we are speaking when they are in close contact and attached together. Therefore, one can doubt about the “outer” one even when the blood is found underneath the “inside” one.

But here, when all three of them examined themselves and found themselves to be pure, the Rabbis agree with Rabbi Meir that all of them are impure, for this blood, from where did it come? Perforce it is from one of them. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.
