Steinsaltz writes:

The two Mishnayot that appear on our daf teach halakhot that are based on the same principle that we were introduced to in the previous mishnayot – she-raglayim la-davar – that recognizing the doubt that exists in a given situation, there is a basis for anticipating the matter. The three cases that appear on our daf deal with:

nega’im – leprosy

zav – a type of venereal disease

someone who injures another person.

We explore the methodology of psak Halacha with reference to Rabbi J.D. Bleich’s analysis.
