**מַתְנִי׳** מִי שֶׁנִּזְרַק עָלָיו אֶחָד מִן הַדָּמִים וְנִטְמָא, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: סוֹתֵר אֶת הַכֹּל. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: יָבִיא שְׁאָר קׇרְבְּנוֹתָיו וְיִטְהָר. אָמְרוּ לוֹ: מַעֲשֶׂה בְּמִרְיָם הַתַּרְמוֹדִית שֶׁנִּזְרַק עָלֶיהָ אֶחָד מִן הַדָּמִים, וּבָאוּ וְאָמְרוּ לָהּ עַל בִּתָּהּ שֶׁהָיְתָה מְסוּכֶּנֶת, וְהָלְכָה וּמָצְאָה שֶׁמֵּתָה. וְאָמְרוּ חֲכָמִים: תָּבִיא שְׁאָר קׇרְבְּנוֹתֶיהָ וְתִטְהָר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** With regard to **one on whose behalf the blood of one** of his nazirite offerings **was sprinkled** on the altar, **and he became ritually impure** before bringing the rest of his offerings, **Rabbi Eliezer says:** His impurity **negates the entire** tally, and he remains a nazirite. **And the Rabbis say: Let him bring the rest of his offerings and be purified.** The Rabbis **said to** Rabbi Eliezer: **An incident** occurred **involving Miriam of Tarmod** who was a nazirite, **that the blood of one** of her offerings **was sprinkled on her behalf, and they came and told her that her daughter was mortally ill. And she went and found** that her daughter **was dead,** and thereby contracted impurity. **And the Rabbis said: Let her bring the rest of her offerings and be purified.**

[Nazir 47a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/47a:2)

**גְּמָ׳** קָתָנֵי, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: סוֹתֵר אֶת הַכֹּל. וְהָאָמַר רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר: כׇּל אַחַר מְלֹאת שִׁבְעָה סוֹתֵר! אָמַר רַב: מַאי ״סוֹתֵר״ נָמֵי דְּקָאָמַר רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר — סוֹתֵר קׇרְבְּנוֹתָיו.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** It **is taught** in the mishna: **Rabbi Eliezer says** that this **negates the entire** tally. The Gemara asks: **But didn’t Rabbi Eliezer say** (16b): With regard to **any** nazirite who became ritually impure **after the completion** of his term, this **negates** only **seven days. Rav said: What** does: **Negates, that Rabbi Eliezer said** in the mishna here mean? It means that his impurity **negates** all **his offerings.** Rabbi Eliezer did not mean that the nazirite must count his entire term of naziriteship afresh; rather, he must bring all his offerings a second time, including the one whose blood was sprinkled before he became impure.


###### Nazir 47a:3
[Nazir 47a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/47a:3)

הָכִי נָמֵי מִסְתַּבְּרָא, דְּקָתָנֵי: וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים תָּבִיא שְׁאָר קׇרְבְּנוֹתֶיהָ וְתִטְהָר, שְׁמַע מִינַּהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara comments: **So too, it is reasonable** that this is the meaning of Rabbi Eliezer’s statement, **as** the mishna later **teaches: And the Rabbis said: Let her bring the rest of her offerings and be purified. Learn from here** that they disagree only with regard to the offerings, but not the naziriteship itself.


###### Nazir 47a:4
[Nazir 47a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/47a:4)

וּמַעֲשֶׂה נָמֵי בְּמִרְיָם הַתַּרְמוֹדִית שֶׁנְּזָרֵק עָלֶיהָ אֶחָד מִן הַדָּמִים, וּבָאוּ וְהוֹדִיעוּהָ עַל בִּתָּהּ שֶׁהָיְתָה מְסוּכֶּנֶת, וְהָלְכָה וּמָצְאָה שֶׁמֵּתָה, וְאָמְרוּ חֲכָמִים: תָּבִיא שְׁאָר קׇרְבְּנוֹתֶיהָ וְתִטְהָר. שְׁמַע מִינַּהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara cites the rest of the mishna, which also indicates that the *tanna’im* disagree with regard to the offerings. **And an incident also** occurred **involving Miriam of Tarmod, that the blood of one** of her offerings **was sprinkled on her behalf, and they came and notified her that her daughter was mortally ill. And she went and found** that her daughter **was dead,** and thereby contracted impurity. **And the Rabbis said: Let her bring the rest of her offerings and be purified.** The Gemara concludes: Indeed, **learn from** the mishna that this is so.

**כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל** וְנָזִיר אֵין מִיטַּמְּאִין לִקְרוֹבֵיהֶן, אֲבָל מִיטַּמְּאִין לְמֵת מִצְוָה. הָיוּ מְהַלְּכִין בַּדֶּרֶךְ וּמָצְאוּ מֵת מִצְוָה — רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: יִטַּמֵּא כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל, וְאַל יִטַּמֵּא נָזִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: יִטַּמֵּא נָזִיר, וְאַל יִטַּמֵּא כֹּהֵן הֶדְיוֹט.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** **A High Priest and a nazirite may not become ritually impure** even **to** bury **their** deceased **relatives. However, they become impure to** bury **a corpse with no one to bury it [*met mitzva*].** If one of them comes across the corpse of a Jew, and there is nobody else available to bury it, he must bury the body. If a High Priest and a nazirite **were walking along the way and they found a *met mitzva*,** and one of them can tend to the burial by himself, **Rabbi Eliezer says: Let** the **High Priest become impure, and** do **not let** the **nazirite become impure. And the Rabbis say: Let** the **nazirite become impure, and** do **not let** even **a common priest become impure.**

[Nazir 47a:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/47a:7)

אָמַר לָהֶם רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר: יִטַּמֵּא כֹּהֵן — שֶׁאֵינוֹ מֵבִיא קׇרְבָּן עַל טוּמְאָתוֹ, וְאַל יִטַּמֵּא נָזִיר — שֶׁהוּא מֵבִיא קׇרְבָּן עַל טוּמְאָתוֹ. אָמְרוּ לוֹ: יִטַּמֵּא נָזִיר — שֶׁאֵין קְדוּשָּׁתוֹ קְדוּשַּׁת עוֹלָם, וְאַל יִטַּמֵּא כֹּהֵן — שֶׁקְּדוּשָּׁתוֹ קְדוּשַּׁת עוֹלָם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Eliezer said to** the Rabbis: It is preferable to **let** the **priest become impure, as he does not bring an offering for his impurity, and** do **not let** the **nazirite become impure, as he brings an offering for his impurity.** The Rabbis **said to him:** On the contrary, **let** the **nazirite become impure, as his sanctity is not permanent, and** do **not let a priest become impure, as his sanctity is permanent.**

[Nazir 47a:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/47a:8)

**גְּמָ׳** בִּשְׁלָמָא כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל וְנָזִיר, הַאי סָבַר: כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל עָדִיף, וְהַאי סָבַר: נָזִיר עָדִיף.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** In light of the mishna’s dispute between Rabbi Eliezer and the Rabbis, the Gemara compares the status of various individuals. **Granted,** with regard to **a High Priest and a nazirite,** one can explain the dispute as follows. **This** Sage, the Rabbis, **holds** that it is **preferable** that **a High Priest** remain ritually pure, as his sanctity is permanent. **And this** Sage, Rabbi Eliezer, **holds** that it is **preferable** that **a nazirite** remain ritually pure, as he is obligated to bring an offering for his impurity.
