רָאָה אַחַת וְהִפְסִיק כְּדֵי טְבִילָה וְסִפּוּג, וְאַחַר כָּךְ רָאָה שְׁתַּיִם אוֹ אַחַת מְרֻבָּה כִשְׁתַּיִם, אוֹ רָאָה שְׁתַּיִם אוֹ אַחַת מְרֻבָּה כִשְׁתַּיִם, וְהִפְסִיק כְּדֵי טְבִילָה וְסִפּוּג, וְאַחַר כָּךְ רָאָה אַחַת, הֲרֵי זֶה זָב גָּמוּר:
Wenn er eine [Entladung von Zivah ] sah und es lange genug aufhörte, um sich [in eine Mikwe ] zu tauchen und sich abzutrocknen, dann sah er zwei [Entladungen] oder eine [Entladung] so reichlich wie zwei, oder wenn er sah zwei [Entladungen] oder eine [Entladung] so reichlich wie zwei, und es hörte lange genug auf, dass er [in eine Mikwe] eintauchte und sich abtrocknete, und dann sah er eine [Entladung], er ist ein vollwertiger Zav .

English Explanation of Mishnah Zavim
If he saw one [issue] and it stopped long enough for an immersion and a drying, and after that he saw two issues, or one as copious as two;
Or if he saw two [issues] or one as copious as two, and it stopped long enough for an immersion and a drying, and after that he again saw an issue, he is a full zav.
This mishnah deals with the question of how to determine if one discharge should be divided into two. In other words, how long must there be between discharges for them to count as two?
The answer in both of these cases is that if the flow stops long enough for him to have immersed and then dried off, the second flow is considered to be new.
