אֲרֻבּוֹת זוֹ עַל גַּב זוֹ, וְיֵשׁ בָּהֶן פּוֹתֵחַ טֶפַח, טֻמְאָה בַבַּיִת, כְּנֶגֶד אֲרֻבּוֹת טָהוֹר. טֻמְאָה כְנֶגֶד אֲרֻבּוֹת, הַבַּיִת טָהוֹר. הַטֻּמְאָה בֵּין בַּבַּיִת בֵּין כְּנֶגֶד אֲרֻבּוֹת, נָתַן דָּבָר שֶׁהוּא מְקַבֵּל טֻמְאָה, בֵּין מִלְמַעְלָן בֵּין מִלְּמַטָּן, הַכֹּל טָמֵא. וְדָבָר שֶׁאֵינוֹ מְקַבֵּל טֻמְאָה, מִמֶּנּוּ וּלְמַטָּן, טָמֵא. מִמֶּנּוּ וּלְמַעְלָן, טָהוֹר:

Hatches, one on top of the other, that have a handbreadth's space, if there is impurity in the house, opposite the hatches is pure. If there is impurity opposite the hatches, the house is pure. Whether the impurity is in the house or opposite the hatches, if he put something which is susceptible to impurity whether above or below, everything is impure. Something which is not susceptible to impurity, below it is impure but above it is pure.
