Quoting%20commentary for Negaim 4:5

בַּהֶרֶת כַּגְּרִיס וְחוּט יוֹצֵא מִמֶּנָּה, אִם יֶשׁ בּוֹ רֹחַב שְׁתֵּי שְׂעָרוֹת, זוֹקְקָהּ לְשֵׂעָר לָבָן וּלְפִסְיוֹן, אֲבָל לֹא לְמִחְיָה. שְׁתֵּי בֶהָרוֹת וְחוּט יוֹצֵא מִזּוֹ לָזוֹ, אִם יֶשׁ בּוֹ רֹחַב שְׁתֵּי שְׂעָרוֹת, מְצָרְפָן. וְאִם לָאו, אֵין מְצָרְפָן:

A <i>Baheret</i> like [the size of] a bean [which is the minimum size of a valid <i>Nega</i>] and a string [of expanded <i>Nega</i>] extends out of it, if it has the width of two hairs, it is obligated [in the laws of impurity] with regards to white hair [in it] and [further] expansion but not [regarding] a patch of healthy skin. Two <i>Baherot</i> and a narrow strip extend from one to the other, if it has the width of two hairs, he combines them [to form one <i>Nega</i>]. And if not, he does not combine them.
