הַבָּתִּים מִטַּמְּאִין בִּשְׁלשָׁה שָׁבוּעוֹת וּבִשְׁלשָׁה סִימָנִים, בִּירַקְרַק וּבַאֲדַמְדַּם וּבְפִשְׂיוֹן. בִּירַקְרַק וּבַאֲדַמְדַּם, בַּתְּחִלָּה, בְּסוֹף שָׁבוּעַ רִאשׁוֹן, בְּסוֹף שָׁבוּעַ שֵׁנִי, בְּסוֹף שָׁבוּעַ שְׁלִישִׁי, לְאַחַר הַפְּטוּר. וּבְפִשְׂיוֹן, בְּסוֹף שָׁבוּעַ רִאשׁוֹן, בְּסוֹף שָׁבוּעַ שֵׁנִי, בְּסוֹף שָׁבוּעַ שְׁלִישִׁי, לְאַחַר הַפְּטוּר. וּמִטַּמְּאִין בִּשְׁלשָׁה שָׁבוּעוֹת, שֶׁהֵן תִּשְׁעָה עָשָׂר יוֹם. אֵין בַּנְּגָעִים פָּחוֹת מִשָּׁבוּעַ אֶחָד, וְלֹא יוֹתֵר עַל שְׁלשָׁה שָׁבוּעוֹת:
