מַרְאוֹת נְגָעִים שְׁנַיִם שֶׁהֵן אַרְבָּעָה. בַּהֶרֶת עַזָּה כַשֶּׁלֶג, שְׁנִיָּה לָהּ כְּסִיד הַהֵיכָל. וְהַשְּׂאֵת כִּקְרוּם בֵּיצָה, שְׁנִיָּה לָהּ כְּצֶמֶר לָבָן, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, הַשְּׂאֵת כְּצֶמֶר לָבָן, שְׁנִיָּה לָהּ כִּקְרוּם בֵּיצָה:

The appearances of <i>Negaim</i> [diseased patches on skin, clothes, or houses that create impurity] are two which are four: <i>Baheret</i> is bright [white] like snow, its subsidiary is like the lime of the Temple. <i>Se'et</i> is like the membrane of an egg, its subsidiary is like white wool; the words of Rabbi Meir. The Sages say, <i>Se'et</i> is like white wool, its subsidiary is like the membrane of an egg.
