הָיָה עוֹמֵד בְּתוֹךְ הַפֶּתַח וְנִפְתַּח לַחוּץ, טֻמְאָה בְתוֹכוֹ, הַבַּיִת טָהוֹר. טֻמְאָה בַבַּיִת, מַה שֶּׁבְּתוֹכוֹ טָמֵא, שֶׁדֶּרֶךְ הַטֻּמְאָה לָצֵאת וְאֵין דַּרְכָּהּ לְהִכָּנֵס. הָיְתָה מוּכְנִי שֶׁלּוֹ מְשׁוּכָה לַאֲחוֹרָיו שָׁלשׁ אֶצְבָּעוֹת, טֻמְאָה שָׁם כְּנֶגֶד הַקּוֹרוֹת, הַבַּיִת טָהוֹר. בַּמֶּה דְבָרִים אֲמוּרִים, בִּזְמַן שֶׁיֶּשׁ שָׁם פּוֹתֵחַ טֶפַח, וְאֵינָהּ יוֹצְאָה, וְהַמִּגְדָּל בָּא בְמִדָּה:

If it [the cupboard] was standing in the opening and it opened outward, if there is impurity inside it, the house is pure. If there is impurity in the house, that which is within [the cupboard] is impure, for the manner of impurity is to go out and its manner is not to go in. If its wheeled base protruded three fingerbreadths behind it: if there was impurity inside directly underneath the roof-beams, the house is pure. About what case was this stated? When there is there a handbreadth's space, when it is not detachable, and when the cupboard is the normal measurement.
