承叶九正末句:有祭司去看那死胎是男是女——产妇所染不洁的日数,男女有别(参利未记 12)。此事到了众贤面前,众贤判他仍洁:那里有鼬与 斑鬣 出没,那死胎多半在祭司到坑边之前就被拖走了。

有祭司来看那婴孩,要断它是男是女——妇人刚生产的,纵所生是死胎,所染不洁的日数也因男女而不同(参利未记 12)。
and a priest came and glanced at the baby to ascertain whether it is male or whether it is female, as a woman who has just given birth, even to a stillborn, is ritually impure for different lengths of time, depending on whether she gave birth to a male or a female (see Leviticus 12).

这一件到了众贤面前,要断那祭司站在尸体上头有没有染上不洁;众贤判他仍是洁净的。
And the incident came before the Sages, to rule whether or not the priest contracted ritual impurity when standing over the corpse, and they deemed him ritually pure.

所以这样判,是因那里有鼬与 斑鬣 出没,那婴孩多半在祭司到坑边之前就已被拖走了。
The basis for this ruling was due to the fact that as a marten and a polecat [bardelas] are found there, it is likely that the baby was dragged away before the priest arrived at the pit.
