הַקּוֹנֶה שָׂדֶה בְסוּרְיָא, סְמוּכָה לְאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל, אִם יָכוֹל לְהִכָּנֵס לָהּ בְּטָהֳרָה, טְהוֹרָה, וְחַיֶּבֶת בַּמַּעַשְׂרוֹת וּבַשְּׁבִיעִית. וְאִם אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לְהִכָּנֵס לָהּ בְּטָהֳרָה, טְמֵאָה, וְחַיֶּבֶת בַּמַּעַשְׂרוֹת וּבַשְּׁבִיעִית. מְדוֹרוֹת הַגּוֹיִם, טְמֵאִין. כַּמָּה יִשְׁהֶא בְתוֹכָן וִיהֵא צָרִיךְ בְּדִיקָה, אַרְבָּעִים יוֹם, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵין עִמּוֹ אִשָּׁה. וְאִם הָיָה עֶבֶד אוֹ אִשָּׁה מְשַׁמְּרִים אוֹתוֹ, אֵינוֹ צָרִיךְ בְּדִיקָה:

One who buys a field in Syria next to the Land of Israel, if he can enter it in purity, it is pure and it is obligated in tithes and in [the laws of] the Sabbatical year. If he cannot enter it in purity, it is impure and it is obligated in tithes and in [the laws of] the Sabbatical year. The dwelling places of non-Jews are impure. How long must they live there to [make the place] require checking? Forty days, even if a woman is not with him. If there was a slave or a woman watching it, it does not need checking.
