(3) One who initially finds [one] corpse buried normally, he [may] move it and its surrounding dirt. [If] he found two, he [may] move them along with their surrounding dirt. [If] he found three: if there are four to eight cubits from one to the next, this is a graveyard. He checks from it twenty cubits outward. [If] he found one [corpse] twenty cubits away, he checks from this one twenty cubits outward. This matter has a leg on which to stand, even though, had he found this one first, he [could] move it and its surrounding dirt.
(4) Initially, any doubt about negaim (diseased patches on skin, clothes, or houses that create impurity) is [ruled as] pure as long as it has not been declared impure. Once it is declared impure, doubts about it are [ruled as] impure. We investigate a zav (a male who has certain types of atypical genital discharges, which render him impure) about seven categories before he is declared as having discharge: about food, drink, lifting, jumping, sickness, visual stimuli, and thoughts. From the time he is declared as having discharge, we do not investigate him. His accidental [discharges], doubtful [discharges], and seminal discharges are [considered] impure because the matter has a leg on which to stand. One who hits his fellow and they estimate that he will die, and then he improves from what was: If after that it degrades and he dies, he [the one who struck] is liable. Rabbi Nechemia says, "He is exempt because the matter has a leg on which to stand".
(5) "Shmuel was a nazir," according to the words of Rabbi Nehorai, "As it says, 'And a moreh (meaning "razor") will not come upon his head.' (1 Samuel 1:11) It says about Shimshon , "And a moreh," (Judges 13:5) and it says about Shmuel, "And a moreh" (1 Samuel 1:11). Just like moreh is said in regards to Shimshon - a nazir - so too moreh which is said in regards to Shmuel [means he was a] nazir." Rabbi Yose said, "But is it not [the case that] moreh (meaning "fear") only applies to [being] of humans?" Rabbi Nehorai responded to him, "But is it not already said, 'Then Shmuel said 'How can I go? Shaul will hear and kill me.' Therefore, he did have moreh of humans on him."
