- One whose dead lies before him,
- he is exempt from reciting the Shema, from saying the Amidah and from wearing tefillin.
- The pall bearers, their replacements and the replacements of the replacements,
- whether in front of or behind the stretcher,
- if they are needed for the stretcher they are exempt [from reciting the Shema],
- if they are not needed for the stretcher they are obligated [to recite the Shema].
- In either case, they are exempt from saying the Amidah.

- He who buries the dead and comes back,
- If he can start and finish before returning to the line [to comfort the mourners], he starts,
- If not, he does not start.
- As for those standing in the line,
- The inner ones are exempt.
- The outer ones are obligated.
edit |
- Women, non-Jewish slaves and minors –
- are exempt from reciting the Shema and from tefillin,
- But they are obligated to recite the Amidah, to affix a mezuzah and to recite Birkat Hamazon.

- A baal keri should think about the Shema in his heart [i.e., instead of saying it out loud] and should not recite the blessings,
- either before or after.
- On food, he makes the blessing after, but not the blessing before.
- Rabbi Yehudah says:
- He blesses before and after.
edit |
- 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)

- A zav who saw a seminal emission,
- a niddah who discharged semen from prior sexual relations.
- and a woman having sexual relations who saw her menses,
- require immersion in a mikvah;
- but Rabbi Yehudah exempts them.
