הַטּוֹבֵל לְחֻלִּין וְהֻחְזַק לְחֻלִּין, אָסוּר לְמַעֲשֵׂר. טָבַל לְמַעֲשֵׂר וְהֻחְזַק לְמַעֲשֵׂר, אָסוּר לִתְרוּמָה. טָבַל לִתְרוּמָה, וְהֻחְזַק לִתְרוּמָה, אָסוּר לְקֹדֶשׁ. טָבַל לְקֹדֶשׁ וְהֻחְזַק לְקֹדֶשׁ, אָסוּר לְחַטָּאת. טָבַל לְחָמוּר, מֻתָּר לְקַל. טָבַל וְלֹא הֻחְזַק, כְּאִלּוּ לֹא טָבָל:

[This is another level (in purification):] If one immerses for chullin and intends [this immersion to cause him] to be eligible for chullin, he is forbidden to [eat second] tithe, [which is eaten in Jerusalem — until he immerses specifically for tithe — and so with all.] If he immersed for tithe and were eligible for tithe, he is forbidden to (eat) terumah. If he immersed for terumah and were eligible for terumah, he is forbidden to (eat) kodesh. If he immersed for kodesh and were eligible for kodesh, he is forbidden to (touch) chatath [the water sanctified with the ashes of the red heifer.] If he immersed for the more stringent, he is permitted to (eat) the less stringent. If he immersed and did not intend to be eligible (for anything), it is as if he did not immerse [for tithe, and, it goes without saying, for terumah and kodesh, but it is (valid) immersion for chullin, chullin not requiring intent.]
