הרי זה זב גמור. וחייב בקרבן. דבראיות תלה רחמנא, דכתיב טומאתו בזובו, טומאתו תלויה בזובו ואינה תלויה ביומי. ומיהו בהפסיק יום בינתיים קאמרי בית הלל לעיל דלא הוי זב גמור ואין הראיות מצטרפות, לא שנא לענין טומאה כגון ראה שתי ראיות בלבד בהפסקת יום בינתים, לא שנא לענין קרבן כגון ראה שלש ראיות:

כדי טבילה וסיפוג (long enough to immerse/bathe and dry one’s self) – in order that he can ritually immerse and wipe himself off after the ritual immersion, but less than this measurement is not an interruption, and it is not considered other than one appearance.
או אחת מרובה כשתים – that he had between the beginning of the first appearance and the end of the appearance in order that he could perform a ritual immersion and wipe himself off, and he would continually see [the emission] without interruption.
כדי טבילה וסיפוג. כדי שיטבול ויקנח עצמו אחר טבילה. ופחות משיעור זה, לא הוי הפסק ולא חשיבא אלא ראיה אחת:
או אחת מרובה כשתים. שהיה בין התחלת הראיה לסוף הראיה כדי טבילה וסיפוג, והיה רואה תמיד בלא הפסק:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

What is the Mishnah?
The Mishnah is the first major written collection of Jewish oral traditions, forming the basis of the Talmud. It dates back to around 200 CE and consists of teachings and discussions of Jewish law by various rabbis.
Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

הרי זה זב גמור – and he is liable for a sacrifice, for the All-Merciful suspended it/hung it upon appearances, as it is written (Leviticus 15:3): “the impurity from his discharge”/"טומאתו בזובו", and the impurity is dependent upon his discharge, but it is not dependent upon the days. However, when there is an interruption in-between as the School of Hillel states above (in Tractate Zavim, Chapter 1, Mishnah 2), he is not a complete Zav, and the appearances do not combine, there is no difference regarding the matter of impurity as for example, that he saw two appearances alone with the interruption of the day in-between and there is no difference regarding the matter of a sacrifice, as for example that he saw three appearances [of emissions].
