Mishnah Oholot 15:2: Wooden tablets that touch one another at their corners and they are a handbreadth's space above the ground, if there is impurity underneath one of them, one who touches the second one is impure for seven days. Vessels underneath the first one are impure but those under the second remain pure. A table does not spread impurity until it has in it a square that is a handbreadth's space. |
טַבְלָיוֹת שֶׁל עֵץ שֶׁהֵן נוֹגְעוֹת זוֹ בָזוֹ בְקַרְנוֹתֵיהֶם וְהֵן גְּבוֹהוֹת מִן הָאָרֶץ פּוֹתֵחַ טֶפַח, טֻמְאָה תַחַת אַחַת מֵהֶן, הַנּוֹגֵעַ בַּשְּׁנִיָּה, טָמֵא טֻמְאַת שִׁבְעָה, כֵּלִים שֶׁתַּחַת הָרִאשׁוֹנָה טְמֵאִים, וְשֶׁתַּחַת הַשְּׁנִיָּה טְהוֹרִין. הַשֻּׁלְחָן אֵינוֹ מֵבִיא אֶת הַטֻּמְאָה, עַד שֶׁיְּהֵא בוֹ רִבּוּעַ בְּפוֹתֵחַ טָפַח: |
Mishnah Oholot 15:3: Barrels that were resting on their bases or laying on their sides in the open air and they are touching one another by a handbreadth's space, if there is impurity under one of them, the impurity pierces and goes up, pierces and goes down. When is this the case? When they were pure, but if they were impure or above the ground by a handbreadth's space, then if there was impurity under one of them, the entire area beneath both of them is impure. |
חָבִיּוֹת שֶׁהֵן יוֹשְׁבוֹת עַל שׁוּלֵיהֶן אוֹ מֻטּוֹת עַל צִדֵּיהֶן, בָּאֲוִיר, וְהֵן נוֹגְעוֹת זוֹ בָזוֹ בְּפוֹתֵחַ טֶפַח, טֻמְאָה תַחַת אַחַת מֵהֶן, טֻמְאָה בוֹקַעַת וְעוֹלָה, בּוֹקַעַת וְיוֹרָדֶת. בַּמֶּה דְבָרִים אֲמוּרִים, בִּטְהוֹרוֹת. אֲבָל אִם הָיוּ טְמֵאוֹת אוֹ גְבוֹהוֹת מִן הָאָרֶץ פּוֹתֵחַ טֶפַח, טֻמְאָה תַחַת אַחַת מֵהֶן, תַּחַת כֻּלָּם טָמֵא: |
