Vessels that are under a flower [decoration on a column under which impurity was buried] are pure. Rabbi Yochanan ben Nuri declares [them] impure. If the impurity and vessels were under the flower, if there was a handbreadth's space they are impure but if not they are pure. Two cabinets next to each other or one on top of the other, if one of them was opened, it and the house is impure but the other one is pure and we view the cabinets as if they were blocked - it is ruled [according to the rule of] half and half with regard to bringing the impurity into the house.
