הפורח מן הטמא טהור. חזרו בו ראשי אברים טמא. עד שתתמעט בהרתו מכגריס. מן הטהור טמא. חזרו בו ראשי אברים טמא. עד שתחזור בהרתו לכמות שהיתה:
If a nega broke out completely upon one who was unclean, he becomes clean; If the ends of his limbs reappeared, he becomes unclean until the bright spot is reduced to less than the size of a split bean. [If it broke out completely upon him] when he was clean, he becomes unclean; If the ends of his limbs reappeared, he remains unclean until his bright spot resumes its former size.
