Negaim 10:7 - 10:8

זה לפנים מזה – as for example, if a bald, blanched spot/scall in the head [or in the beard] is like a split Cilician bean squared, and a row/line of hair completely surrounds it, except for that row/line that surrounds the bald, blanched spot/scall like [the size of] a split [Cilician] bean all around it, that, a strip of scall the width of a lentil surrounds the row of hair, and this is the measurement of the scall that surrounds the hair in the flesh affected by the eruption.

נפרץ ממקום אחד טמא – the inner part, for the black hair at its side and which is not surrounded inside it. But the outer part is pure, for there are black hairs that are surrounded inside it.

משתי מקומות טהור – the inside and all the more so, the outside, that both of them were made into one scall, and within them are two black hairs which are surrounded.

כמה תהא הפרצה – from the two places and it will be pure, the place of the two hairs.

נפרץ ממקום אחד כגריס טהור – for we have said (in the previous Mishnah), that if it was separated in one place, it is impure, that is, with less than a split [Cilician] bean. But after it was severed/broken off like a split [Cilician] bean, even in one place, the two scalls became one, and the hair that remains are surrounded.

ובו שער צהוב טמא – golden/yellow hair defiles, whether at the beginning [or] whether at the end of the first week, whether at the end of the second week,[or] whether after the release.

נולד בו שער שחור טהור – if it (i.e., the two black hairs) grew after the bald, blanched spot in the head [or the beard] even though they are not an eruption surrounded with sound flesh. But if it is a remainder, especially an eruption surrounded with sound flesh, that is distant by two hairs from the standing flesh of the head as we have stated.

אע"פ שהלך לו שער שחור טהור – for since the golden/yellow [hair] has been purified, it further does not defile, even though the black [hair] fell out, but, if he was declared a certified leper through spreading and the black [hair] came and purified the spreading and afterwards, the black [hair] went away, the spreading returns and defiles, or that it spread and contracted and then once again spread, we don’t say since the bald, blanched spot [in the head] became pure it does not defile.

כל נתק שטהר שעה אחת – whether that he was declared a certified leper through spreading and it contracted, or that black hair came and purified him, whether he was declared a certified leper with golden/yellow hair and black hair came and purified him and afterwards the black [hair] went away, or what that had contracted returned and became a bald, blanched spot, again this bald, blanched spot is not defilement forever, even though that we hold that the tokens/signs of his uncleanness, such as golden/yellow hair and spreading, and we don’t have need with these that already is purified with black hair, but even if it spread after the black went away or that other yellow/golden hair grew in it, since the bald, blanched spot was purified already, it further has no uncleanness.

ר' שמעון אומר כל שער צהוב שטהר שעה אחת – as for example, this that refers to at the time when the black [hair] comes, it has no uncleanness forever. But if after the black [hair] came, yellow/golden hair appeared in the bald, blanched spot or it spread afterwards, it is impure, for we don’t say that every bald, blanched spot that is purified. And the Halakha is according to the first Tanna/teacher [of the Mishnah].
