Or, (perhaps we should say): Just as the days of his confirmation are not counted, so, the days of his quarantine should not be counted. And this would follow, viz.: Just as the days of his confirmation are subject to the tumah of mishkav (the couch) and moshav (the seat [of the leper]), as are the days of his quarantine, then if I have learned about the days of his confirmation that they are not counted (towards his Naziritism), so, should I learn about the days of his quarantine. — No, this may be true of the days of his confirmation, which require shaving and an offering (for his leprosy), wherefore they are not counted (towards his Naziritism).
But would you say (the same for) the days of his quarantine, which do not require shaving or an offering (for his leprosy)? — wherefore they should be counted. From here they ruled: The days of the confirmation of a leper and the (seven) days of his counting are not counted (towards his Naziritism), but the days of zav and zavah (a man and a woman with a genital discharge) and the days of quarantine of a leper are counted (towards his Naziritism).
