###### Nazir 49b:1
[Nazir 49b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/49b:1)

״עַל כׇּל״ — לְאַפּוֹקֵי רְחוֹקִים, ״מֵת״ — לְאַפּוֹקֵי קְרוֹבִים, ״נַפְשׁוֹת״ — לְאַפּוֹקֵי רְבִיעִית דָּם שֶׁיָּצָא מִשְּׁנֵי מֵתִים, שֶׁמְּטַמֵּא בְּאֹהֶל, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״עַל כׇּל נַפְשׁוֹת מֵת לֹא יָבֹא״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**“In to any”** serves **to exclude** contracting impurity to bury **distant** people, for whom a High Priest may not become impure; **“dead”** comes **to exclude relatives; “bodies”** comes **to exclude a quarter-***log* **of blood that emerges from two corpses, for it renders** people and objects **impure in a tent, as it is stated: “Neither shall he go in to any dead bodies”** (Leviticus 21:11). The plural “bodies” teaches that the blood of two people combines to form the minimum quantity for ritual impurity.

[Nazir 49b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/49b:2)

**מַתְנִי׳** עַל אֵלּוּ טוּמְאוֹת הַנָּזִיר מְגַלֵּחַ: עַל הַמֵּת, וְעַל כְּזַיִת מִן הַמֵּת, וְעַל כְּזַיִת נֶצֶל, וְעַל מְלֹא תַּרְווֹד רָקָב. עַל הַשִּׁדְרָה, וְעַל הַגּוּלְגּוֹלֶת, וְעַל אֵבֶר מִן הַמֵּת, וְעַל אֵבֶר מִן הַחַי שֶׁיֵּשׁ עָלָיו בָּשָׂר כָּרָאוּי, וְעַל חֲצִי קַב עֲצָמוֹת, וְעַל חֲצִי לוֹג דָּם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** **A nazirite shaves for** having become impure from **these** following sources of **ritual impurity: For** having become impure with impurity imparted by **a corpse; and for** impurity imparted by **an olive-bulk of a corpse; and for** impurity imparted by **an olive-bulk of fluid [*netzel*]** from a corpse; **and for** impurity imparted by **a full ladle [*tarvad*] of dust** from a corpse; and **for** impurity imparted by **the spine; and for** impurity imparted by **the skull; and for** impurity imparted by **a limb from a corpse or for** impurity imparted by **a limb** severed **from a living** person, **upon** either of **which there is a fitting** quantity of **flesh; and for** impurity imparted by **a half-*kav* of bones** from a corpse; **and for** impurity imparted by **a half-*log*** of **blood.**


###### Nazir 49b:3
[Nazir 49b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/49b:3)

וְעַל מַגָּעָן וְעַל מַשָּׂאָן וְעַל אֲהִילָן. וְעַל עֶצֶם כִּשְׂעוֹרָה עַל מַגָּעוֹ וְעַל מַשָּׂאוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And** a nazirite shaves in each of these cases for becoming impure **by coming into contact with them; and for** becoming impure by **carrying them; and for** becoming impure by **their tent,** i.e., if he was positioned like a tent over them, or if he entered a tent that contains them, or if they served as a tent over him. **And** as **for a bone that is a barley-grain-bulk,** he shaves **for** becoming impure by **coming into contact with it and by carrying it.** However, he is not rendered impure with the impurity imparted in a tent, i.e., by being under the same roof as the bone.


###### Nazir 49b:4
[Nazir 49b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/49b:4)

עַל אֵלּוּ הַנָּזִיר מְגַלֵּחַ, וּמַזֶּה בַּשְּׁלִישִׁי וּבַשְּׁבִיעִי וְסוֹתֵר אֶת הַקּוֹדְמִין, וְאֵינוֹ מַתְחִיל לִמְנוֹת אֶלָּא עַד שֶׁיִּטְהַר וּמֵבִיא אֶת קׇרְבְּנוֹתָיו.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**For** all of **these** occurrences, **a nazirite shaves, and** a priest **sprinkles** the ashes of the red heifer on him **on the third and on the seventh** days to purify him from the impurity imparted by a corpse. **And he negates** all **the previous** days he counted toward his naziriteship, **and he begins counting** his term of naziriteship again **only after he becomes pure and brings his offerings.**

[Nazir 49b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/49b:5)

**גְּמָ׳** תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: אַחַר פְּטִירָתוֹ שֶׁל רַבִּי מֵאִיר אָמַר לָהֶן רַבִּי יְהוּדָה לְתַלְמִידָיו: אַל יִכָּנְסוּ תַּלְמִידֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר לְכָאן, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁקַּנְתְּרָנִין הֵן, וְלֹא לִלְמוֹד תּוֹרָה הֵן בָּאִין, אֶלָּא לְקַפְּחֵנִי בַּהֲלָכוֹת הֵן בָּאִין. דָּחַק סוֹמְכוֹס וְנִכְנַס.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** **The Sages taught: After Rabbi Meir’s death, Rabbi Yehuda said to his students: Do not let the students of Rabbi Meir enter here,** into the house of study, **because they are vexatious and they do not come to study Torah, but they come to overwhelm me with** their ***halakhot*.** Nevertheless, **Sumakhos,** a student of Rabbi Meir, **forced his way and entered** the house of study.


###### Nazir 49b:6
[Nazir 49b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/49b:6)

אָמַר לָהֶם, כָּךְ שָׁנָה לִי רַבִּי מֵאִיר: עַל אֵלּוּ טוּמְאוֹת הַנָּזִיר מְגַלֵּחַ: עַל הַמֵּת, וְעַל כַּזַּיִת מִן הַמֵּת. כָּעַס רַבִּי יְהוּדָה וְאָמַר לָהֶן, לֹא כָּךְ אָמַרְתִּי לָכֶם: אַל יִכָּנְסוּ תַּלְמִידֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר לְכָאן, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁקַּנְתְּרָנִין הֵן? עַל כַּזַּיִת מִן הַמֵּת מְגַלֵּחַ — עַל הַמֵּת לֹא כׇּל שֶׁכֵּן?!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
When they reached the topic of the mishna, Sumakhos **said to them: Rabbi Meir taught me like this: A nazirite shaves for** becoming impure from **these** following sources of **ritual impurity: For** impurity imparted by **a corpse and for** impurity imparted by **an olive-bulk from a corpse. Rabbi Yehuda grew angry and said to** his disciples: **Didn’t I say to you like this: Do not let the students of Rabbi Meir enter here because they are vexatious?** He explained his annoyance. The clause: For a corpse, is unnecessary, as, if a nazirite **must shave for** impurity imparted by **an olive-bulk from a corpse,** is it **not all the more so** that he must shave **for** impurity imparted by an entire **corpse?**
