## Niddah Daf 70a

###### Niddah 70a:1
[Niddah 70a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Niddah/r/70a:1)

הִיא תּוֹעֵבָה וְאֵין בָּנֶיהָ תּוֹעֲבִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
With regard to one who remarries his divorced wife, the Torah states: “Her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she is defiled, for that is an abomination before the Lord; and you shall not cause the land to sin, which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance” (Deuteronomy 24:4). By inference, **she,** the divorced wife, **is an abomination, but her children are not abominations.** In other words, if he transgressed the prohibition and remarried this woman, the daughters from that marriage are not disqualified from marrying priests.


###### Niddah 70a:2
[Niddah 70a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Niddah/r/70a:2)

שְׁנֵי מְצוֹרָעִין שֶׁנִּתְעָרְבוּ קׇרְבְּנוֹתֵיהֶן זֶה בָּזֶה, וְקָרַב קׇרְבָּנוֹ שֶׁל אֶחָד מֵהֶן, וּמֵת אֶחָד מֵהֶן — הַשֵּׁנִי מַה תְּהֵא עָלָיו?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The third question was as follows: **Two** wealthy people who were **lepers** came to purify themselves and each brought a sin offering, a guilt offering, and a burnt offering. **Their offerings became intermingled with each other, and the offering of one of them was sacrificed, and** subsequently **one of them died. What shall be with the second** individual, i.e., how can he complete his purification process? If the other one had not died, they could both bring the remaining offering with the stipulation that it should be sacrificed on behalf of whoever is the owner. But now that one is dead, the other person may not bring the remaining animal, as one may not sacrifice a sin offering for one who is dead. He may also not bring another animal instead, as the animal that was already sacrificed might have been his, and one may not bring a second sin offering.


###### Niddah 70a:3
[Niddah 70a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Niddah/r/70a:3)

אָמַר לָהֶן: כּוֹתֵב נְכָסָיו לַאֲחֵרִים, וְהָוֵי עָנִי, וּמֵבִיא חַטַּאת הָעוֹף הַבָּא עַל הַסָּפֵק.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rabbi Yehoshua **said to them:** The solution is for him to **write** a contract giving all **his possessions to others,** whom he trusts to return them as a gift later, **and he is** then considered to be **destitute. And** as a poor leper, he **brings a bird sin offering,** which can be **brought** even **in** a case of **uncertainty.**


###### Niddah 70a:4
[Niddah 70a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Niddah/r/70a:4)

וְהָאִיכָּא אָשָׁם! אָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל: כְּשֶׁקָּרַב אֲשָׁמוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara challenges: **But there is** the **guilt offering** that a leper must bring, and this must be an animal not a bird, and may not be brought in a case of uncertainty. How can this leper bring his guilt offering? **Shmuel says:** Rabbi Yehoshua was referring specifically to a case **where his guilt offering** had already been **sacrificed,** before the animals became intermingled.


###### Niddah 70a:5
[Niddah 70a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Niddah/r/70a:5)

אָמַר רַב שֵׁשֶׁת: גַּבְרָא רַבָּה כִּשְׁמוּאֵל לֵימָא כִּי הַאי מִילְּתָא? כְּמַאן? אִי כְּרַבִּי יְהוּדָה, דְּאָמַר: ״אָשָׁם קָבַעה״, וְכֵיוָן דְּקָבַעה לֵהּ אָשָׁם בַּעֲשִׁירוּת — לָא מָצֵי מַיְיתֵי חַטָּאת בְּדַלּוּת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Sheshet said:** Is it possible that **a great man like Shmuel would say a statement like this? In accordance with whose** opinion does this solution apply? **If it is in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Yehuda, who says** that if the leper was wealthy when he sacrificed his **guilt offering** he **has** thereby **fixed** his manner of atonement, and must bring animals as his other two offerings, it is difficult: **And once he fixed his guilt offering** as an animal **while he was wealthy, he may not bring** a bird **sin offering when he is destitute.**


###### Niddah 70a:6
[Niddah 70a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Niddah/r/70a:6)

דִּתְנַן: מְצוֹרָע שֶׁהֵבִיא קׇרְבַּן עָנִי וְהֶעֱשִׁיר, אוֹ עָשִׁיר וְהֶעֱנִי — הַכֹּל הוֹלֵךְ אַחַר חַטָּאת, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**As we learned** in a mishna (*Nega’im* 14:11): With regard to **a leper who brought an offering of a destitute person and** thereafter **he became wealthy, or** if he brought an offering of **a wealthy person and** thereafter **he became destitute, everything follows after** the **sin offering;** this is **the statement of Rabbi Shimon.** If he was wealthy when he brought the sin offering, he brings the burnt offering of the wealthy; if he was destitute at that time, he brings the burnt offering of the destitute.


###### Niddah 70a:7
[Niddah 70a:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Niddah/r/70a:7)

וְרַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: הַכֹּל הוֹלֵךְ אַחַר אָשָׁם. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר בֶּן יַעֲקֹב אוֹמֵר: הַכֹּל הוֹלֵךְ אַחַר צִפֳּורִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And Rabbi Yehuda says: Everything,** i.e., the sin offering and the burnt offering, **follows after** his status at the time that his **guilt offering** was brought. **Rabbi Eliezer ben Ya’akov says: Everything follows after** the offering of the **birds,** brought seven days earlier, at the start of his purification process.


###### Niddah 70a:8
[Niddah 70a:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Niddah/r/70a:8)

וְאִי כְּרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן, דְּאָמַר: חַטָּאת קָבְעָה, אַף עַל גַּב דְּלָא קְרַב אָשָׁם — נַיְתֵי אַחֵר, דְּהָא שָׁמְעִינַן לֵיהּ לְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן דְּאָמַר: לַיְיתֵי וְלִתְנֵי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rav Sheshet continues: **And if** Rabbi Yehoshua’s statement is **in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Shimon, who said** that the **sin offering fixed** the status of the remaining offerings, it is difficult: Why did Shmuel state that the case is where his guilt offering had already been sacrificed? **Even if the guilt offering had not been sacrificed** before the animals became intermingled, **let him bring another** animal as his guilt offering, and stipulate that if the guilt offering that was already slaughtered was his, this animal should be a peace offering. **As we have heard that Rabbi Shimon said: Let him bring** another animal **and stipulate** with regard to it.


###### Niddah 70a:9
[Niddah 70a:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Niddah/r/70a:9)

דְּתַנְיָא, אָמַר רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן: לַמׇּחֳרָת מֵבִיא אֲשָׁמוֹ וְלוּגּוֹ עִמּוֹ, וּמַעֲמִידוֹ בְּשַׁעַר נִיקָנוֹר, וּמַתְנֶה עָלָיו וְאוֹמֵר: אִם מְצוֹרָע הוּא — הֲרֵי אֲשָׁמוֹ וְלוּגּוֹ עִמּוֹ, וְאִם לָאו — אָשָׁם זֶה יְהֵא שַׁלְמֵי נְדָבָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**As it is taught** in a *baraita* that **Rabbi Shimon says,** with regard to a leper of uncertain status who must bring a guilt offering and a *log* of oil for his purification: **The following day,** on the eighth day of his purification, he **brings his guilt offering and his *log*** of oil **with it, and** the priest **stands him at the Gate of Nicanor, and** the leper **stipulates with regard to** the offering **and says: If this** person, i.e., I, was **a leper, this is his guilt offering and** this is **his *log*** of oil **with it. And if not, this** animal that I brought for **a guilt offering shall be a voluntary peace offering,** as the two offerings are sacrificed in the same manner.

וְאוֹתוֹ אָשָׁם טָעוּן

**And that guilt offering** of uncertain status **requires**
