Mishnayos Niddah Perek 2 Mishnah 2

נדה פרק ב׳ משנה ב׳

2

If blood was found on his cloth, the woman and her husband are both ritually impure for seven days, in accordance with the halakha of a menstruating woman and of one who engages in intercourse with a menstruating woman, and are each liable to bring a sin offering for unwittingly performing an action punishable with excision from the World-to-Come [karet]. If blood was found on her cloth immediately [otyom] after intercourse, the woman and her husband are likewise ritually impure for seven days and are each liable to bring a sin offering. If blood was found on her cloth after time passed, they are both ritually impure due to uncertainty, as it is possible that the blood appeared only after intercourse, and they are exempt from bringing the sin offering.

נִמְצָא עַל שֶׁלּוֹ, טְמֵאִין וְחַיָּבִין קָרְבָּן. נִמְצָא עַל שֶׁלָּהּ אוֹתְיוֹם, טְמֵאִין וְחַיָּבִין קָרְבָּן. נִמְצָא עַל שֶׁלָּהּ לְאַחַר זְמַן, טְמֵאִים מִסָּפֵק וּפְטוּרִים מִן הַקָּרְבָּן:

Bartenura

נמצא על שלו – even if he waited a long time after coition prior to wiping, it is known that there was blood at the time of sexual intercourse.

טמאין – both of them (i.e., the husband and the wife) are defiled for seven days, like the law of someone who has intercourse with a menstruant woman.

אותיום – immediately, and there is no [term] similar to this in the Mishnah.

טמאים מספק – both of them are impure for seven days. But however, it is a doubtful impurity [in that she doubtfully saw blood at the time of intercourse and/or didn’t see blood at the time of intercourse, but only after the sexual intercourse) leaves it in abeyance but not to burn [a sin-offering].

ופטורים מן הקרבן – from a regular sin-offering, but they are liable for an uncertain guilt-offering [brought by one who is uncertain as to whether he committed a sin that requires a sin-offering; it was also called the guilt-offering of the pious].

נמצא דם על שלו. אפילו שהה זמן ארוך לאחר בעילה קודם קינוח, בידוע שהיה דם בשעת תשמיש:

טמאין. שניהם, טומאת שבעה, כדין בועל נדה:

אותיום. תיכף ואין לו דומה במשנה:

טמאים מספק. שניהם טמאים שבעה ימים, ומיהו טומאת ספק היא לתלות אבל לא לשרוף:

ופטורים מן הקרבן. מחטאת קבוע, אבל חייבים באשם תלוי:
