How [is waiting until after Shabbat considered] a stringency? [If] he did not have in [the <i>Nega</i>] white hair [on Shabbat] and [after Shabbat] white hair grew in it, [or if] there were black [hairs] and they whitened, [or if] one was black and one was white and the two of them whitened, [or if the hairs were] short and they were lengthened, [or if there were] one long and one short, and the two of them were lengthened, [or if on Shabbat] a boil encroached upon the two of them or upon one of them, [or if] a boil surrounded the two of them or one of them, or divided them - [this refers to] a boil, a partly-healed boil, a burn, a partly-healed burn, or a <i>Bohak</i> - and went away [after Shabbat]. [Other cases of leniency include if the skin] did not have a healed part and then grew a healed part, [or if the area of the <i>Nega</i>] was circular or stretched and became square, [or if a healed part of skin] had from the side [a <i>Nega</i>] and then became surrounded, [or if the healed part of skin] was scattered and then became concentrated, [or if] a boil came and went into [the healed part of the skin], surrounded it, split it, or diminished it - [this refers to] a boil, a partly-healed boil, a burn, a partly-healed burn, or a <i>Bohak</i> - and went away [after Shabbat], [or if the <i>Nega</i>] did not have an extension and then grew an extension, [or if a] boil, a partly-healed boil, a burn, a partly-healed burn, or a <i>Bohak</i> separate between the original and its expansion and went away [after Shabbat]. These are [cases in which waiting until after Shabbat is considered a] stringency.
