בִּדְמֵי טָהֳרָה בְּקַדְמִיתָא, וּלְבָתַר יְמֵי טָהֳרָה. בִּדְמֵי טָהֳרָה, אִלֵּין, דְּמֵי מִילָה, דָּמָא בָּתַר דָּמָא דְּאָתֵי מֵרַבְיָא, וְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא נָטִיר לְאִינּוּן דְּמֵי כָּל אִלֵּין יוֹמִין, הֲדָא הוּא דִכְתִיב, תֵּשֵׁב בִּדְמֵי טָהֳרָה. טָהֳרָה סְתָם, וְלָא אַדְכִּיר הֵ"א בַּתְרָאָה, דְּלָא תֵּימָא טָהֳרָה דְּמַטְרוֹנִיתָא, אֶלָּא טָהֳרָה סְתָם, דְּמֵי טָהֳרָה אִקְרוּן אִלֵּין דְּמֵי דַּכְיָא. In the beginning "in the bloods of purification" and later "the days of purification" (Lev. 12:4). "In her bloods of purification" those are the bloods of the circumcision, blood after blood that comes from the child, and the Holy Blessed One guards those bloods all these days, as it is written "she will sit in the bloods of purification." Simple purification, and the text does not bring a "hey" at the end [no possessive] so you wouldn't say the purification of the Matronita, rather, simple purification, that the bloods of purification are called the bloods of merit.
