בַּעַל קֶרִי, כְּמַגַּע שֶׁרֶץ. וּבוֹעֵל נִדָּה, כִּטְמֵא מֵת, אֶלָּא שֶׁחָמוּר מִמֶּנּוּ בּוֹעֵל נִדָּה, שֶׁהוּא מְטַמֵּא מִשְׁכָּב וּמוֹשָׁב טֻמְאָה קַלָּה לְטַמֵּא אֳכָלִין וּמַשְׁקִין:

A <i>ba'al keri</i> [one who had a nocturnal seminal emission] is [unclean] like one who touched a <i>sheretz</i> [he does not become a father of uncleanness]. One who has sexual relaions with a menstruant is [unclean] like one who has corpse uncleanliness [and is a father of uncleanness]. However, the one who had sexual relaions with a menstruant is more stringent, because he conveys minor grades of uncleanliness to what he lies or sits on, so as to make foods and liquids unclean.
