But it was taught, R'Jose said: A zab of two discharges<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' When a man suffers three gonorrhoeic discharges within three days or less (in this respect a man differs from a woman, who becomes a zabah only if the three discharges are on three consecutive days) , he becomes a full zab, i.e., he does not regain his cleanness until seven consecutive days pass without a discharge, while during these seven days he is unclean as a zab; should he discharge on any of these days, he requires a further seven days, and so on. On the eighth day he brings a sacrifice, and on the evening that follows he may eat of sacred flesh (having performed tebillah the previous day) . If, however, he suffers two discharges only, he is likewise unclean for seven days, but does not bring a sacrifice on the eighth; hence he can partake of sacrifices on the evening following the seventh day.');">⁴</span> on whose behalf they slaughtered [the Passover-offering] and sprinkled [its blood] on the seventh day,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' So that if the day passes without a further discharge, he is fit to partake of the Passover-offering in the evening.');">⁵</span>
