אם נביא הוא נבואתו מסתלקת ממנו מאלישע דכתיב (מלכים ב ג, יד) לולי פני יהושפט מלך יהודה אני נושא אם אביט אליך ואם אראך וגו' וכתיב (מלכים ב ג, טו) ועתה קחו לי מנגן והיה כנגן המנגן ותהי עליו יד ה' וגו'

We have [thus] found that the tamid and the Passover override the Sabbath; how do we know that they override uncleanness? - I will tell you: just as he learns the Passover from the tamid in respect to the Sabbath, so also does he learn the tamid from the Passover in respect to uncleanness. And how do we know it of the Passover itself? - Said R. Johanan. Because the Writ saith, If any man of you shall be unclean by reason of a dead body: a man [i.e.. an individual] is relegated to the second Passover, but a community is not relegated to the second Passover, but they must offer it in [a state of] uncleanness. R. Simeon b. Lakish said to R. Johanan: Say, a man is relegated to the second Passover, [whereas] a community has no remedy [for its uncleanness]. neither on the first Passover not on the second Passover? Rather, said R. Simeon b. Lakish. [It is deduced] from here: [Command the children of Israel,] that they send out of the camp of every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is unclean by the dead: let [Scripture] state those who are unclean by the dead, and not state zabin and lepers, and I would argue, if those who are unclean by the dead are sent out [of the camp], how much the more zabin and lepers! <br>
