Keritot 9B

והיא שפחה״⁠ – לחלק על כל שפחה ושפחה.

and she is a female slave designated to a man” (Leviticus 19:20). This verse likewise serves to require separate offerings for each and every espoused female slave.

נזיר שנטמא טומאות הרבה. מאן תנא?

§ The Mishnah teaches: A nazirite who became ritually impure with several instances of contact with ritual impurity brings one offering for several transgressions. The Talmud asks: Who is the tanna that taught this?

אמר רב חסדא: רבי יוסי ברבי יהודה היא, דאמר: נזירות דטהרה משביעי הוא דחיילא עליה. ומשכחת לה כגון שנטמא בשביעי, וחזר ונטמא בשביעי, וכיון דלא יצא שעה הראויה להקריב בה קרבן ⁠– אינו חייב אלא קרבן אחד.

Rav Ḥisda said: It is the opinion of R' Yosei, son of R' Yehuda, who says: A new naziriteship of purity, which is required of a nazirite who became ritually impure, takes effect from the 7th day of the nazirite’s purification. And therefore, you find that the nazirite brings one offering for several transgressions in a case where he became impure on the 7th day of his purification, was pure for 7 days, and again became impure on the 7th day of his purification. And since for each case where he became impure the appropriate time to sacrifice an offering, i.e., the 8th day of his purification, had not yet emerged, he is liable to bring only one offering.

דאי רבי, כיון דאמר רבי: נזירות דטהרה עד שמיני לא חיילא עליה, אי דנטמא בשביעי וחזר ונטמא בשביעי ⁠– כולה טומאה אריכתא היא,

Rav Ḥisda explains: The Mishnah must be in accordance with the opinion of R' Yosei, son of R' Yehuda, as if it follows the opinion of R' Yehuda HaNasi, then it is not possible for a nazirite to bring one offering for several transgressions, since R' Yehuda HaNasi says: A new naziriteship of purity does not take effect until a nazirite’s 8th day of purification. If there was a case where a nazirite became impure on the 7th day of his purification, was pure for 7 days, and then became impure again on the 7th day of his purification, according to R' Yehuda HaNasi, that is all one long period of impurity, as the new term of naziriteship has not yet begun, and therefore the nazirite brings one offering for the entire period.
