הַנּוֹגֵעַ בְּמֵת וְהַנּוֹגֵעַ בְּכֵלִים, הַמַּאֲהִיל עַל הַמֵּת וְהַנּוֹגֵעַ בְּכֵלִים, טְמֵאִין. מַאֲהִיל עַל הַמֵּת וּמַאֲהִיל עַל הַכֵּלִים, הַנוֹגֵעַ בְּמֵת וּמַאֲהִיל עַל הַכֵּלִים, טְהוֹרִים. אִם יֵשׁ בְּיָדוֹ פוֹתֵחַ טֶפַח, טְמֵאִין. שְׁנֵי בָתִּים וּבָהֶן כִּשְׁנֵי חֲצָאֵי זֵיתִים, פָּשַׁט אֶת שְׁתֵּי יָדָיו לָהֶן, אִם יֵשׁ בְּיָדָיו פּוֹתֵחַ טֶפַח, מֵבִיא אֶת הַטֻּמְאָה. וְאִם לָאו, אֵינוֹ מֵבִיא אֶת הַטֻּמְאָה:

One who touches a dead body and then touches vessels or one who overshadows a dead body and then touches vessels, they are impure. If he overshadowed a dead body and then overshadowed the vessels or touched a dead body and then overshadowed the vessels, they are pure. If his hands have in them a handbreadth's space, they are impure. Two houses in which are two [pieces the size of] half an olive [of dead body], if he sticks both his hands into them, if his hands have in them a handbreadth's space, he spreads impurity, but if not, he does not spread impurity.
