אִשָּׁה שֶׁהִיא מְרֻבָּה בְּדָמִים, הִיא דַּבְּרָנִית; וְאַל תִּתְיַפֶּה בְּעֵינֵי בְּנֵי אָדָם, גַּם תִּרְחַץ אֶת עַצְמָהּ בְּמֵי מַעֲיָנוֹת, גַּם אַל תְּיַגַע אֶת עַצְמָהּ הַרְבֵּה, גַּם בַּעֲלָהּ יִזָּהֵר בִּנְטִילַת־יָדַיִם, גַּם אַל תִּכְעַס, גַּם אַחַר הַטְּבִילָה תִּתֵּן צְדָקָה. גַּם בַּעְלָהּ יִלְמַד מַסֶּכֶת נִדָּה וְאַחַר־כָּךְ יֹאמַר שִׁיר שֶׁל יוֹם. גַּם תִּרְחַץ אֶת עַצְמָהּ בִּדְבָרִים הָעוֹלִים מִתּוֹךְ הַמְּצוּדָה מִן הַנָּהָר, גַּם תִּשְׁתֶּה חֲלַב עֵז, גַּם תִּרְחַץ בְּנוֹצַת עִזִּים, גַּם תְּעַשֵּׁן אֶת עַצְמָהּ בִּלְבוֹנָה.
