One should indeed avoid the old blood for three days. And what is that old [blood]? That which flows from the beginning for three days at the fertile period, that is old. During those three days, when conception is attempted, the fetus does not stay; or if it stays, it is not capable of long life. But when the old blood has exited after three days and has ceased, for a woman who has bathed clean, the fetus entering on the fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth, and twelfth days becomes male. On the fifth, seventh, ninth, and eleventh [days], it develops toward femaleness. This intercourse of all [sorts] is said [to be suitable] up to seven nights; beyond this, intercourse [is forbidden] due to impairment or deficiency.
