אָמַר רִבִּי יוֹסֵי, בֶּגֶד הַצֶּמֶר אוֹ הַפִּשְׁתִּים אֲמַאי. אָמַר רִבִּי יִצְחָק, בְּכֹלָּא שַׁרְיָא, וּבְכֹלָּא שַׁלְטָא. וְאִית כְּגַוְונָא דָּא דִּכְתִּיב, (משלי ל״א:י״ג) דָּרְשָׁה צֶמֶר וּפִשְׁתִּים. וּבְגִּינֵי כַּךְ, שׁוּלְטָנֵיהּ דְּהַהוּא נֶגַע דְּנָפִיק מֵאֲתַר עִלָּאָה, דָּא שַׁלְטָא בְּכֹלָּא, בִּתְרֵי גַּוְונֵי, בְּצֶמֶר וּבְפִשְׁתִּים. וּבְגִין כַּךְ, זֹאת תּוֹרַת נֶגַע הַצָּרַעַת בֶּגֶד הַצֶּמֶר אוֹ הַפִּשְׁתִּים.
