אֲרֻבָּה שֶׁהִיא בְתוֹךְ הַבַּיִת וּקְדֵרָה נְתוּנָה תַחְתֶּיהָ, שֶׁאִם תַּעֲלֶה, אֵין שִׂפְתוֹתֶיהָ נוֹגְעוֹת בָּאֲרֻבָּה, טֻמְאָה תַחְתֶּיהָ, בְּתוֹכָהּ אוֹ עַל גַּבָּהּ, טֻמְאָה בוֹקַעַת וְעוֹלָה, בּוֹקַעַת וְיוֹרָדֶת. הָיְתָה גְבוֹהָה מִן הָאָרֶץ טֶפַח, טֻמְאָה תַחְתֶּיהָ, אוֹ בַבַּיִת, תַּחְתֶּיהָ וְהַבַּיִת, טָמֵא. תּוֹכָהּ וְגַבָּהּ, טָהוֹר. בְּתוֹכָהּ אוֹ עַל גַּבָּהּ, הַכֹּל טָמֵא:

A hatch which is in a house and there is a pot placed beneath it so that, if raised, its edges would not touch the hatch, if there is impurity beneath it, inside it, or on top of it, the impurity pierces and goes up, pierces and goes down. If it was a handbreadth above the ground and the impurity was beneath it or in the house, beneath it and the house is impure and its inside and on top of it is pure. [If it was] inside or on top of it, everything is impure.
