ריחקה ראיותיה - ג' ראיות בג' ימים טמאה ז' ימים כדכתיב כי יזוב זוב דמה ימים רבים ודרשינן (בת"כ פ' מצורע) ימים שנים רבים שלשה:

If her sightings occur at intervals - three sighting on three days -- she is impure for seven days, as it is written "has had a discharge of blood for many days," [Leviticus 15:25] and we expound "days" -- two; "many" -- three. [Sifra, Metzora Parashat Zavim, Section 5:8]

הרי הוא אומר וזאת כו' - ומשום גזירת הכתוב הוא דלא דרשינן ק"ו:

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
[The verse] states: "And this..." etc. - and it is due to scriptural decree that we do not expound an *a fortiori* argument [that the *zava* becomes impure for seven days due to sightings on one day].

[Rashi on Bava Kamma 24a:2:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Rashi%20on%20Bava%20Kamma/r/24a:2:2)

הזב בראיות - דכתיב בהאי קרא זוב תלתא זימני וכתיב טומאתו היא דמשמע בהנך ג' הוי טמא וכתיב זאת דמשמע אין לך אלא מה שכתוב בו זב בראיות ולא זבה בראיות:

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
The *zav* with the number of sightings - because the word *zov* is written three times in that verse [Leviticus 15:3], followed by "his impurity means this," which implies that it is through these three [sightings] that the *zav* becomes impure; it also writes "this" which implies that this only applies to what is [specifically] written about [in that verse, namely]: a *zav* [becomes impure] due to sightings. However, a *zava* is not [impure for seven days] due to sightings [alone].

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
Deals with sightings - that "and this" [Leviticus 15:3] is written regarding sightings [by a *zav*] and excludes [impurity for seven days due to] sightings of a *zava*.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
But they are considered as one with regard to conspiring testimony - because it is through all three of them that it is rendered forewarned. Therefore, they are considered as one testimony regarding that, since if the first group is found to have been conspiring witnesses, [the owner] would only have to pay half damages for the third goring.

כולן חייבין - לשלם הח"נ של העדאת נגיחה שלישית בין כולן וצד תמות משלמים שני עדים האחרונים שהעידו עליה:

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
They are all liable - [all three groups] collectively [are liable] to pay [the additional] half damages due to [the ox] being rendered forewarned upon the third goring. As for the "innocuous" aspect [of the damage done by the third goring], the last two witnesses who testified to [the goring] must pay [the corresponding other half of the damages].

אי אמרת לייעוד תורא - בעינן ג' ימים אבל גברא ביום אחד מייעד מצי לאוקמא כשבאו כולן ביום אחד שהביאן ניזק שלישי להעיד על ג' נגיחות של ג' ימים ומשום הכי שייכי קמאי בצד העדאה שרגלים לדבר דלשוייה מועד אתו דלא מצו למימר אנן לחיובי פלגא נזקא אתינן מקמייתא ולא לשוייה מועד דודאי הני ידעי בהני שהרי בעל נגיחה שלישית הביאן ומה לו ולנגיחות הראשונות אלא כדי לייעדו ובהדי הדדי אתו:

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
If you say that [the purpose of the testimony is] to render the ox forewarned - then three days are required; but as for the man, he can be forewarned on one day -- we can then set up this case as a case where all [the groups of witnesses] came on one day. The third one who was damaged brought them to testify about the three gorings on three days. Therefore the first [groups of witnesses] are relevant to [the adjudication of] the ox being forewarned, since [through their testimony the third plaintiff can show that] there is a basis for the matter, and they came to render it forewarned. Thus [the first two groups of witnesses] cannot say that we came to prove liability from the earlier cases and not to render it forewarned -- because they certainly know from [the third group] that they have brought [testimony against] a thrice-goring [ox]. What then could [testimony about] the earlier gorings [accomplish] but to render it forewarned; after all, [all three groups] arrived together.
