Translation:Mishnah/Seder Zeraim/Tractate Berakhot/Chapter 3/5/Translation
- If one stands in prayer and remembers that he is a baal keri,
- He does not stop praying, but abridges the prayer.
- If he went down to immerse in a mikvah,
- If he is able to come up, cover himself and do it before he sees the sun blossom –
- He comes up, covers himself and recites the Shema.
- But if he is not able to do so –
- He covers himself in waters and recites.
- But he does not cover himself,
- Not in foul waters.
- Nor in water in which flax soaked.
- Until he puts more water into it.
- And how far from filth must he be?
- Four cubits.(forearm)
