הַשְּׁחִין וְהַמִּכְוָה מִטַּמְּאִין בְּשָׁבוּעַ אֶחָד, בִּשְׁנֵי סִימָנִים, בְּשֵׂעָר לָבָן וּבְפִשְׂיוֹן. אֵיזֶה הוּא הַשְּׁחִין. לָקָה בְעֵץ אוֹ בְאֶבֶן אוֹ בְגֶפֶת אוֹ בְמֵי טְבֶרְיָא, כֹּל שֶׁאֵינוֹ מֵחֲמַת הָאֵשׁ, זֶה הוּא שְׁחִין. אֵיזוֹ הִיא מִכְוָה. נִכְוָה בְגַחֶלֶת אוֹ בְרֶמֶץ, כֹּל שֶׁהוּא מֵחֲמַת הָאֵשׁ, זוֹ הִיא מִכְוָה:

[The <i>Negaim</i> (diseased patches on skin, clothes, or houses that create impurity) within] a boil or burn make one impure after one week [maximum] through two signs: white hair or spreading. What is considered a boil? If he was wounded by wood or by stone or by [the heat generated by] crushed olives or the waters of [the hot springs of] Tiberius, [or] anything not because of a fire, this is considered a boil. What is considered a burn? [If] he was burnt by coals or by embers, [or] anything because of fire, this is considered a burn.
