עֲשָׂרָה בָתִּים הֵן, הַכֵּהֶה בָרִאשׁוֹן, וְהַהוֹלֵךְ לוֹ, קוֹלְפוֹ וְהוּא טָהוֹר. הַכֵּהֶה בַשֵּׁנִי, וְהַהוֹלֵךְ לוֹ, קוֹלְפוֹ וְהוּא טָעוּן צִפֳּרִים. הַפּוֹשֶׂה בָרִאשׁוֹן, חוֹלֵץ וְקוֹצֶה וְטָח וְנוֹתֵן לוֹ שָׁבוּעַ. חָזַר, יִנָּתֵץ. לֹא חָזַר, טָעוּן צִפֳּרִים. עָמַד בָּרִאשׁוֹן וּפָשָׂה בַשֵּׁנִי, חוֹלֵץ וְקוֹצֶה וְטָח וְנוֹתֵן לוֹ שָׁבוּעַ. חָזַר, יִנָּתֵץ. לֹא חָזַר, טָעוּן צִפֳּרִים. עָמַד בָּזֶה וּבָזֶה, חוֹלֵץ וְקוֹצֶה וְטָח וְנוֹתֵן לוֹ שָׁבוּעַ. חָזַר, יִנָּתֵץ. לֹא חָזַר, טָעוּן צִפֳּרִים. אִם עַד שֶׁלֹּא טִהֲרוֹ בַצִּפֳּרִים נִרְאָה בוֹ נֶגַע, הֲרֵי זֶה יִנָּתֵץ. וְאִם מִשֶּׁטִּהֲרוֹ בַצִּפֳּרִים נִרְאָה בוֹ נֶגַע, יֵרָאֶה בַּתְּחִלָּה:

There are ten [cases] of houses. If it dulls during the first [week] or goes away, he scrapes it off and it is pure. If it dulls during the second [week] or goes away, he scrapes it off and it requires [sacrificial] birds. If it spreads in the first [week], he removes, scrapes and plasters and gives it a week. If it returns, [the house] must be destroyed. If it does not return, it requires birds. If it stood [unchanged] after the first [week] and spread during the second [week], he removes, scrapes and plasters, and gives it a week. If it returned, the house must be destroyed. If it does not return, it requires birds. If it stood [unchanged] after this [first] and this [second week], he removes, scrapes, and plasters, and gives it a week. If it returns, the house must be destroyed. If it does not return, it requires birds. If before he purified it with birds the <i>Nega</i> [diseased patch on skin, clothes, or houses that creates impurity] reappeared, it must be destroyed. Once it has been purified with birds, if the <i>Nega</i> reappears, it should be examined as if in the beginning [of the <i>Nega</i>].
