💍 The Swallowed Ring

טוּמְאָה בְּלוּעָה

On today's daf, Rabba teaches: what is swallowed inside a living body is sealed off from the laws of impurity — a swallowed impure ring contaminates no one, and a swallowed pure ring cannot be contaminated. You are the posek. Ten real cases from Chullin 71. Rule on each: tamei or tahor?

Case 1 of 10

Every case above is straight from the Gemara. The mishnah (71a) rules on the midwife and the mother; Rabba states the twin principle of טומאה בלועה; the Gemara derives it from the eater of a carcass (Leviticus 11:40) and a chain of kal va-chomer arguments; and Rava answers that both halves were already taught in Mikvaot 10:8 — the swallowed rings — leaving Rabba only the case of two rings swallowed together. A language bonus: in this daf חַיָּה means wild animal in the first sugya and midwife in the mishnah.
