1)

(a)Rav Ashi also queries Rav Chisda (who counts the days of Tzara'as in the days of Nezirus) from another Beraisa. How does the Tana there initially learn that the days of a Metzora Muchlat do not count in the days of Nezirus from the case of a Nazir who became a Tamei Mes?

(b)Which two Korbanos is the Tana referring to when he says 'Yemei Tum'ah Megale'ach u'Meivi Korban, vi'Yemei Chaluto Megale'ach u'Meivi Korban'?

(c)On what grounds does the Tana himself refute this 'Mah Matzinu'? What Chumra does 'Yemei Tum'aso' have over 'Yemei Chaluto'?

2)

(a)So he Darshens a 'Kal va'Chomer' from a Nazir b'Kever. What is a 'Nazir b'Kever' and what is the 'Kal va'Chomer'?

(b)And how do we Darshen Yemei Sefiro with a 'Mah Matzinu' from Yemei Chaluto?

(c)What 'Kal va'Chomer' could we have Darshened from a Nazir b'Kever?

(d)Why would that have been preferable?

3)

(a)What does a Metzora Musgar have in common with a Chalut (to make it possible to Darshen a 'Mah Matzinu')?

(b)Then why can we not learn the former from the latter with regard to the days of Tum'ah being precluded from the days of Nezirus?

(c)By which other Teme'im do we also include the days of Tum'ah in the days of Nezirus (like a Metzora Musgar)?

4)

(a)We have proved from this Beraisa that the days of a Metzora Muchlat are not counted in his Nezirus. The Tana cannot be referring to a short Nezirus (which Rav Chisda concedes do not count in his Nezirus). What is considered a short Nezirus?

(b)How do we know that he is not?

(c)So how does Rav Chisda answer Rav Ashi's Kashya?

5)

(a)Rebbi Eliezer in our Mishnah cites Rebbi Yehoshua. What does he say about Tum'ah from a Mes for which a Nazir is not obligated to shave (such as all those listed in the previous Mishnah)?

(b)What is Rebbi Meir's objection to this?

(c)What did Rebbi Eliezer (or Rebbi Elazar) in a Beraisa comment when he heard Rebbi Meir ask Rebbi Yehoshua ben Pasar Rosh (who stated the same Chidush as Rebbi Eliezer in our Mishnah?

6)

(a)What do we extrapolate from the fact that in our Mishnah, Rebbi Eliezer quotes Rebbi Yehoshua (bar Chananya) whereas in the Beraisa, he (or Rebbi Elazar) quotes Rebbi Yehoshua bar Mamal quoting Rebbi Yehoshua?

(b)How does Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak extrapolate the same thing from the Mishnah in Pe'ah, which cites Nachum ha'Lavlar who heard it from Rebbi Miyasha, who heard it from his father ... from the pairs ... from the Nevi'im, who heard it cited as 'Halachah l'Moshe mi'Sinai'?

(c)Which ruling (concerning someone who sows mint or mustard-seeds) did these Tana'im state?

7)

(a)How does Rebbi Akiva learn from a bone the size of a barley that a Revi'is ha'Log of blood will obligate a Nazir to shave?

(b)Rebbi Eliezer rejected the 'Kal va'Chomer' without saying why. What did Rebbi Yehoshua comment to substantiate Rebbi Eliezer's ruling?

(c)We ask whether the Halachah to which Rebbi Yehoshua was referring is the fact that a Nazir shaves on an 'Etzem k'Se'orah'. To which other ruling might he have been referring?

(d)If the Halachah is the fact that a Revi'is of blood is Metamei b'Ohel, how will Rebbi Yehoshua then explain the Pasuk "v'Al Kol Nafshos Mes" (from which Rebbi Akiva Darshened earlier 'one Revi'is from two Mesim')?

8)

(a)What is the outcome of the She'eilah? Is the Halachah to which Rebbi Yehoshua is referring that of a Nazir shaving on an 'Etzem k'Se'orah', or is it the fact that a Revi'is of blood is Metamei b'Ohel?
