(a)The two Simnei Tum'ah of a Nega on the location of a Sh'chin and a Michvah are - Se'ar Lavan and Pisyon (see Tos. Yom-Tov).
(b)Sh'chin and Michvah are not subject to Michyah - because the Torah requires Michyas Basar Chai, and the location of a Sh'chin or a Michvah do not fall into that category.
(c)The maximum time period of Musgar with by Sh'chin and Michvah is - seven days.

(c)What does the Tana mean to include when he says Kol she'Eino Machmas ha'Eish Zeh Hu Sh'chin?

(a)The basic difference between a Sh'chin and a Michvah is that - the latter is the result of a burn (see Tos. Yom-Tov DH 'Sh'chin), the former, of a different type of wound.
(b)A wound from a piece of wood or a stone obviously falls under the category of Sh'chin (see Tos. Yom-Tov), and so does one from ...

(a)What does the Tana mean when he says that Sh'chin and Michvah do not combine?
(b)And what does he say about one of them spreading into ...
1. ... the other?
2. ... regular skin that is next to it?
(c)Then where must it spread to become Tamei because of Pisyon?
4)
(a)When the Tana rules that Sh'chin and Michvah do not combine, he means that - if each one measures only half a Gris, he remains Tahor (see Tos. Yom-Tov).
(b)He also says that if one of them spreads into ...
1. ... the other, or into ...
2. ... regular skin that is next to it - he remains Tahor, too.
(c)To become Tamei because of Pisyon, it must spread - into the healed crust that surrounds it.
5)
(a)What does the Mishnah mean when it says 'Hayu Mordin, Tehorin'?
(b)What do we learn from the Pasuk ...
1. ... "Sh'chin ve'Nirpa"?

(d)And what is the status of a Sh'chin or a Michvah that has completely healed, but on which a scar remains?
5)
(a)When the Mishnah says 'Hayu Mordin, Tehorin', the Mishnah means that - if the wound has not yet formed a crust, and is still discharging puss, it is not subject to Tum'ah.
(b)We learn from the Pasuk ...
1. ... "Sh'chin ve'Nirpa" that - the Sh'chin must have healed and formed a crust in order to be subject to Tum'ah, and from ...
2. ... "ve'Haysah Michyas ha'Michvah" that - the same applies to a Michvah.
(c)The Shi'ur of Tzareves ha'Sh'chin that renders it subject to Tum'ah is - the thickness of a garlic skin.
(d)A Sh'chin or a Michvah that has completely healed, but on which a scar remains - has the status of regular skin.
Mishnah 3
6)
(a)What did R. Eliezer reply when they asked him about the status of a Baheres like a Sela that appears on the palm of a person's hand, in the location of the crust of a Sh'chin?
(b)What objection did they raise to his reply?
(c)Why is that?
6)
(a)When they asked R. Eliezer about the status of a Baheres like a Sela that appears on the palm of a person's hand, in the location of the crust of a Sh'chin, he replied - Yasgir (that it must be locked up for seven days).
(b)They objected to this however - on the grounds that it was pointless to do so ...
(c)... seeing as a. no hair grows on the palm of the hand, b. even if they spread, they will spread into each other, and not into the healthy skin of his hand, and c. There is no Din of Michyah by Sh'chin and Michvah. And if there is no way for the Baheres to become Tamei, what point is there in locking it up?
7)
(a)What did R. Eliezer mean when he suggested Shema Tichnos ve'Sifseh?
(b)How did the Chachamim query him further? ...
(c)What did R. Eliezer respond to that?
(d)And what did he answer when R. Yehudah ben Beseira's requested permission to offer his opinion?
7)
(a)When R. Eliezer suggested Shema Tichnos ve'Sifseh, he meant that - there was a point in locking him up, since perhaps the Baheres will shrink to the size of a G'ris, in which case the Kohen will declare him Tahor, and the next week it will spread again into the Sh'chin, and the Kohen will then declare him Tamei.
(b)The Chachamim queried him further however - by asking him the same question in a case where the location measured exactly a G'ris.
(c)To which R. Eliezer replied - Lo Shama'ti, meaning that there too he heard that the Din is Yasgir, but he did not know why.
(d)And when R. Yehudah ben Beseira requested permission to offer his opinion, he replied - Im Lekayem Divrei Chachamim, Hein, by which he meant that provided his explanation corroborated with what he had heard, he agreed.
8)
(a)What did R. Yehudah ben Beseira have to say? How did he solve the problem?
(b)How did R. Eliezer respond to R. Yehudah ben Beseira's answer?
(c)What is the Halachah?
8)
(a)R. Yehudah ben Beseira solved the problem R. Eliezer's problem - by establishing the case where another Sh'chin appears in the location of the Baheres, into which the Baheres then spreads.
(b)R. Eliezer responded to R. Yehudah ben Beseira's answer - with the words 'Chacham Gadol Atah, she'Kiyamta Divrei Chachamim!'
