A barrel which was filled with pure liquid and sealed and made into a grave cover, one who touches it becomes impure for seven days but the jar and the liquid remain pure. An animal that was made into a grave cover, one who touches it becomes impure for seven days. Rabbi Meir says, anything that is alive does not become impure because of [being made into] a cover.
