4 [1] [PURIFICATION.] The *heh* of *tohorah* (purification) is unsounded. It should have been pronounced. It is like the *heh* in *lah* (it) in *and called it Nobah* (Num. 32:43). The meaning of *deme tohorah* (the blood of purification) is clean blood. This blood, in contrast to *dam niddah* (menstrual blood), is clean. It does not cause uncleanliness. The forty days that God decreed regarding a male child corresponds to the time it takes for the form of the male to be completed in the womb. It takes double that time for a female. This is clear and tested.
[2] SHE SHALL TOUCH NO HALLOWED THING. Such as the tithe, *trumah*, and the flesh of peace offerings.
[3] NOR COME INTO THE SANCTUARY. The courtyard of the tent of meeting or into the temple courtyard.
[4] *Be-deme tohorah* (in the blood of purification) (v. 4) and *al deme tohorah* (in the blood of purification) have one meaning.
