**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
אימתי – the outer [bright white spot on the skin] is pure when the inner [bright white spot on the skin] or the outer [bright white spot on the skin] has spread on the quick flesh, for we stated above that the outer [bright white spot on the skin] is pure (see the previous Mishnah), these words apply when it is exactly the size of a lentil, that the quick flesh is like an exactly defined lentil, not less and not more. But if the quick flesh is greater [in size] than that of a lentil, [the excess is a token/sign of spreading for the inner one (i.e., the bright white spot on the skin) and the outer one (i.e., the bright white spot on the skin) is unclean].

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
המותר סימן פסיון לפנימית והחיצונה טמאה – that is to say, if the inner [bright white spot on the skin] spread over that excess, both of them are to be declared to be definitive leprosy. The inner one because of the spreading and the outer one because of the quick flesh. But if the outer one (i.e., the bright white spot on the skin) spread over that excess, nevertheless, the outer one is to be declared definitive leprosy because of the quick flesh and the inner one is to [cause] to be shut up/isolated. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
סימן פשיון לפנימית – if the inner [bright white spot on the skin] spread and covered the white scurf/tetter, the inner [bright white spot on the skin] is to be declared a definitive leprosy , for it has spread from the outside. But if the outer [bright white spot on the skin] spread and covered the white scurf/tetter, it is not a sign/token of spreading for the outer [bright white spot on the skin] for the plague does not spread within. And that it (i.e., the Mishnah) used the phrase: "היה בוהק פחות מכעדשה"/it was a white scurf/tetter less than a lentil -, for if it was like a lentil, it would defile because of the quick flesh for we hold that quick flesh defiles in all of the appearances [of plagues], but less than a lentil, there is no quick flesh, for there is no quick flesh that is less than a lentil.

**הָרֹאשׁ וְהַזָּקָן שֶׁלֹּא הֶעֱלוּ שֵׂעָר.** כְּגוֹן קָטָן שֶׁלֹּא צָמַח זְקָנוֹ אוֹ לֹא הִשְׂעִיר רֹאשׁוֹ, נִדּוֹנִים כְּעוֹר בָּשָׂר לִטַּמֵּא בְּבַהֶרֶת. וְכֵן הַדִּלְדּוּלִין שֶׁבָּרֹאשׁ וּבַזָּקָן דְּלֵית בְּהוּ שֵׂעָר, נִדּוֹנִים כְּעוֹר בָּשָׂר, וּמְעַכְּבִים אֶת הַפְּרִיחָה, וְהַנֶּגַע פּוֹשֶׂה לְתוֹכָן, וּמִצְטָרְפִין לְכַגְּרִיס:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
הראש והזקן שלא העלו שער – as for example a minor whose beard has not grown or the hair of his head, are judged like skin of the flesh to become defiled through a bright white spot in the skin. And similarly, the warts with a thin neck that are in the head or on the beard [of a person] that doesn’t have hair, are judged like the skin of the flesh, and they hinder the blossoming, and the plague spreads within them and combines to make a split [Cilician] bean.
