הָעָרְלָה וְכִלְאֵי הַכֶּרֶם מִצְטָרְפִין זֶה עִם זֶה. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, אֵינָן מִצְטָרְפִין. הַבֶּגֶד וְהַשַּׂק, הַשַּׂק וְהָעוֹר, הָעוֹר וְהַמַּפָּץ, מִצְטָרְפִין זֶה עִם זֶה. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהֵן רְאוּיִין לִטַּמֵּא מוֹשָׁב:

<i>Orlah</i> [fruits prohibited the first three years after planting] and <i>kilei hakerem,</i> [the product of the prohibited planting of other species in a vineyard] combine with each other. Rabbi Shimon says they do not combine. Cloth and sack, sack and hide, hide and matting can combine with each other. Rabbi Shimon says: What is the reason? Since they are susceptible to impurity through sitting.
