Hebrew Text

[edit]
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

[edit]
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.
