אֵלּוּ חוֹצְצִין בָּאָדָם, חוּטֵי צֶמֶר וְחוּטֵי פִשְׁתָּן וְהָרְצוּעוֹת שֶׁבְּרָאשֵׁי הַבָּנוֹת. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, שֶׁל צֶמֶר וְשֶׁל שֵׂעָר אֵינָם חוֹצְצִין, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהַמַּיִם בָּאִין בָּהֶם:
A seguir, são [itens que são considerados] uma interposição em uma pessoa [imergindo em um micvê e, assim, impedindo que alguém's imersão em validade]: fios de lã e fios de linho e fitas [usadas] na cabeça das meninas. O rabino Yehuda diz: os de lã e de cabelos não se interpõem, porque a água pode entrar neles.
