תמצא ידה. כטעם ואין ידו משגת: AND IF HER MEANS SUFFICE NOT.56Literally, And if her hand does not find. This means the same as but if his means suffice not57Literally, And if his hand does not acquire. The point is that “And if her hand does not find” means And if her means suffice her not. (see Lev. 5:11).

וכפר עליה הכהן וטהרה. זה יורה אם לא יכפר עליה הכהן לא תטהר וזה תלוי בארץ: AND THE PRIEST SHALL MAKE ATONEMENT FOR HER, AND SHE SHALL BE CLEAN. This teaches that if the kohen does not make atonement for her she shall not be clean. This applies only in the Land of Israel.58The cleaning rituals described in our chapter apply only in the Land of Israel. Outside of the Land of Israel, immersion in a mikveh suffices.
