Abaye brings a proof from blood found in the cervix for Rabbi Chanina’s statement that if there is a majority against proximity, majority wins (majority of blood comes from the uterus which is impure blood but there is a closer chamber which would not be impure blood). \u00a0Rava disagrees with Abaye’s comparison because he says the majority of uterine blood is different from a regular majority because of the frequency. \u00a0In the end, though, Rava changes his mind and agrees that this case would support Rabbi Chanina. \u00a0Various other cases regarding a situation with a safek<\/em> (doubt) are brought as relating to Rabbi Chanina’s opnion but they are all rejected (for various reasons each one has other factors that led to the determination of the halacha – not having to do with majority vs. proximity. \u00a0A tree must be distanced from the city a certain amount of space for aesthetic reasons. \u00a0The law is different depending on whether the city was there when the tree was planted to vice-versa or if it was unknown which came first. \u00a0The gemara compares the law here to the law in the case in a different mishna regarding a tree planted near a neighbor’s pit and explains the differences between the cases. \u00a0A threshing floor must be distanced 50 cubits from a city and from neighboring fields. \u00a0The last line in the mishna is unclear and two epxlanations are brought to explain whether it is a new law or explaining the reason for the law already stated in the mishna.<\/p>\n
