רָאָה אַחַת מְרֻבָּה כְשָׁלשׁ, שֶׁהִיא כְמִין גַּד יוֹן לַשִּׁילוֹחַ, שֶׁהֵן כְּדֵי שְׁתֵּי טְבִילוֹת וְכִשְׁנֵי סִפּוּגִין, הֲרֵי זֶה זָב גָּמוּר. רָאָה אַחַת מְרֻבָּה כִשְׁתַּיִם, מְטַמֵּא מִשְׁכָּב וּמוֹשָׁב, וְצָרִיךְ בִּיאַת מַיִם חַיִּים, וּפָטוּר מִן הַקָּרְבָּן. אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹסֵי, לֹא אָמְרוּ אַחַת מְרֻבָּה אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן יֶשׁ בָּהּ כְּדֵי שָׁלשׁ:

If he saw one [discharge] as profuse as three [discharges] lasting as long as it takes to walk] from <i>Gad Yavan</i> to <i>Shiloach</i>, [an interval] which would be sufficient for two immersions [in the mikveh] and two dryings, he is a full fledged <i>zav</i>. If he saw one [discharge] as profuse as two, he renders unclean anything he sits in on or lies upon and he requires immersion in running water but he does not have to bring a sacrifice. Rabbi Yose said, They did not speak of one [discharge] which was profuse [enough to make him a full fledged <i>zav</i>], unless there was enough [volume] to equal three.
