בַּיִת הַמְשַׁמֵּשׁ אֶת הַכֹּתֶל, יִדּוֹן כִּקְלִפַּת הַשּׁוּם. כֵּיצַד. כֹּתֶל שֶׁבֵּין שְׁנֵי כוּכִין, אוֹ בֵין שְׁתֵּי מְעָרוֹת, טֻמְאָה בַבָּתִּים וְכֵלִים בַּכֹּתֶל וַעֲלֵיהֶם כִּקְלִפַּת הַשּׁוּם, טְהוֹרִין. טֻמְאָה בַכֹּתֶל וְכֵלִים בַּבָּתִּים וְעָלֶיהָ כִקְלִפַּת הַשּׁוּם, טְהוֹרִין. טֻמְאָה תַחַת הָעַמּוּד, טֻמְאָה בוֹקַעַת וְעוֹלָה, בּוֹקַעַת וְיוֹרָדֶת:

A house which serves a wall [is ruled according] to the garlic peel. How so? A wall between two crypts or between two caves, if there was impurity in the houses and vessels in the wall and [the partition] above them was [as thin] as a garlic peel, they are pure. If the impurity is in the wall and the vessels are in the house and [the partition] above them was as [thin as] a garlic peel they are pure. If the impurity was under a pillar the impurity pierces and goes up, pierces and goes down.
