Mishnah Oholot 15:4: A house that was partitioned with boards or curtains from the sides or from the beams, if there was impurity in the house, vessels in the partitioned section are pure. If there was impurity in the partitioned section, vessels in the house are impure and vessels in the partitioned section, if [the section] is a handbreadth's space they are impure but if not they are pure.
