הָיְתָה גְבוֹהָה מִן הָאָרֶץ טֶפַח, טֻמְאָה תַחְתֶּיהָ אוֹ בַבַּיִת, תַּחְתֶּיהָ וְהַבַּיִת טָמֵא, תּוֹכָהּ וְגַבָּהּ טָהוֹר. בְּתוֹכָהּ, אֵין טָמֵא אֶלָּא תוֹכָהּ. עַל גַּבָּהּ, כְּנֶגְדּוֹ עַד הָרָקִיעַ טָמֵא:

If it [the basket] was a hand-breadth above the ground and there was impurity beneath it or in the house, beneath it and the house is impure, but its inside and on top of it is pure. [If it was] inside it, only its inside is impure. [If it was] on top of it, opposite it up to the firmament is impure.
