Mishnah Negaim 4:1: There are [laws] that apply to white hair that do not apply to spreading, and there are [laws] that apply to spreading that do not apply to white hairs. For white hair makes [the diseased patch] impure initially and makes it impure with any appearance of whiteness and has in it no [corresponding] sign of purity. There are [also unique laws] by spreading, for spreading makes it impure with any amount, and makes any Nega [diseased patch on skin, clothes, or houses that creates impurity] impure, [as well as if it spread] outside the Nega, which is not true by white hair.

יֵשׁ בְּשֵׂעָר לָבָן מַה שֶּׁאֵין בְּפִשְׂיוֹן, וְיֵשׁ בְּפִשְׂיוֹן מַה שֶּׁאֵין בְּשֵׂעָר לָבָן. שֶׁשֵּׂעָר לָבָן מְטַמֵּא בַתְּחִלָּה, וּמְטַמֵּא בְכָל מַרְאֵה לֹבֶן, וְאֵין בּוֹ סִימַן טָהֳרָה. יֵשׁ בְּפִשְׂיוֹן, שֶׁהַפִּשְׂיוֹן מְטַמֵּא בְכָל שֶׁהוּא, וּמְטַמֵּא בְכָל הַנְּגָעִים, חוּץ לַנֶּגַע, מַה שֶּׁאֵין כֵּן בְּשֵׂעָר לָבָן:

Mishnah Negaim 4:2: There are [laws] by a healthy patch of skin that spreading does not have, and there are [laws] by spreading that a healthy patch of skin does not have. For a healthy patch of skin makes [the Nega] impure initially, and makes impure with any appearance, and has in it no [corresponding] sign of purity. There are [also unique laws] by spreading, for spreading makes it impure with any amount, and makes any Nega impure, [as well as if it spread] outside the Nega, which is not true by a healthy patch of skin.

יֵשׁ בְּמִחְיָה מַה שֶּׁאֵין בְּפִשְׂיוֹן, וְיֵשׁ בְּפִשְׂיוֹן מַה שֶּׁאֵין בְּמִחְיָה. שֶׁהַמִּחְיָה מְטַמָּא בַתְּחִלָּה, וּמְטַמָּא בְכָל מַרְאֶה, וְאֵין בָּהּ סִימַן טָהֳרָה. יֵשׁ בְּפִשְׂיוֹן, שֶׁהַפִּשְׂיוֹן מְטַמֵּא בְכָל שֶׁהוּא, וּמְטַמֵּא בְכָל הַנְּגָעִים, חוּץ לַנֶּגַע, מַה שֶּׁאֵין כֵּן בְּמִחְיָה:
