 * נטמא בעזרה,
 * ונעלמה ממנו טומאה וזכור למקדש,
 * נעלם ממנו מקדש וזכור לטומאה,
 * נעלמו ממנו זה וזה;


 * השתחווה או ששהה כדי השתחוויה,
 * ובא לו בארוכה –
 * חייב;
 * בקצרה –
 * פטור.


 * זו היא מצות עשה שבמקדש שאין חייבין עליה.

English Translation

 * If one became impure in the Courtyard,
 * and the impurity became unknown to him, [but] he remembered [about] the Temple,
 * [or] the Temple became unknown to him, [but] he remembered the impurity,
 * [or else] both this and that became unknown to him;


 * [if] he prostrated or waited long enough to prostrate,
 * or he came [to the exit] by the long[er] way –
 * He is liable;
 * [if he came to the exit] by the short[er] way –
 * He is exempt.


 * This is a positive commandment in the Temple that one is not liable for.
