Mishnah for Nazir 9:1

הריני נזיר מיכן ועד מקום פלוני אומדין כמה ימים מיכן ועד מקום פלוני פחות משלשים יום נזיר שלשים יום ואם לאו נזיר כמיניין הימים הריני נזיר כמיניין ימות השנה מונה נזירות כמיניין ימות השנה אמר ר' יהודה מעשה היה וכיון שהשלים מת:

Any generation in which the Beis Hamikdosh is not rebuilt is considered as if they had destroyed it.

Mishnah Zavim

There are seven ways in which a zav is examined as long as he had not become subject to zivah: With regard to food, drink, as [to what] he had carried, whether he had jumped, whether he had been ill, what he had seen, or what he had thought. [It doesn't matter] whether he had thoughts before seeing [a woman], or whether he had seen [a woman] before his thoughts. Rabbi Judah says: even if he had watched beasts, wild animals or birds having intercourse with each other, and even when he had seen a woman's dyed garments. Rabbi Akiva says: even if he had eaten any kind of food, be it good or bad, or had drunk any kind of liquid. They said to him: Then there will be no zavim in the world!’ He replied to them: you are not held responsible for the existence of zavim!’ Once he had become subject to zivah, no further examination takes place. [Zov] resulting from an accident, or that was at all doubtful, or an issue of semen, these are unclean, since there are grounds for the assumption [that it is zivah]. If he had at a first [issue] they examine him; On the second [issue] they examine him, but on the third [issue] they don't examine him. Rabbi Eliezer says: even on the third [issue] they examine him because of the sacrifice.
