Mishnah for Oholot 3:2

מְלֹא תַרְוָד רָקָב שֶׁנִּתְפַּזֵּר בְּתוֹךְ הַבַּיִת, הַבַּיִת טָמֵא. וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן מְטַהֵר. רְבִיעִית דָּם שֶׁנִּבְלְעָה בְתוֹךְ הַבַּיִת, הַבַּיִת טָהוֹר. נִבְלְעָה בִכְסוּת, אִם מִתְכַּבֶּסֶת וְיוֹצֵא מִמֶּנָּה רְבִיעִית דָּם, טְמֵאָה. וְאִם לָאו, טְהוֹרָה, שֶׁכֹּל הַבָּלוּעַ שֶׁאֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לָצֵאת, טָהוֹר:

A ladleful of decomposed corpse that was scattered about in a house, the house is impure. But Rabbi Shimon declares it pure. A <i>Revi'it</i> [specific unit of volume] of blood that was absorbed in [the floor] of a house, the house is pure. If it was absorbed in a garment: if the garment is washed and a <i>Revi'it</i> of blood comes out of it, it is impure, if not, it is pure, since anything absorbed that cannot come out is pure.
