Quotation for Oholot 15:5

חֲצָצוֹ מֵאַרְצוֹ, טֻמְאָה בַחֲצָץ, כֵּלִים שֶׁבַּבַּיִת טְמֵאִים. טֻמְאָה בַבַּיִת, כֵּלִים שֶׁבַּחֲצָץ, אִם יֵשׁ בִּמְקוֹמָן טֶפַח עַל טֶפַח עַל רוּם טֶפַח, טְהוֹרִים. וְאִם לָאו, טְמֵאִין, שֶׁאַרְצוֹ שֶׁל בַּיִת כָּמוֹהוּ עַד הַתְּהוֹם:

If he partitioned it from the ground and there is impurity in the partitioned section, vessels in the house are impure. If there was impurity in the house, vessels in the partitioned section, if there is in their space a handbreadth by a handbreadth by a height of a handbreadth, they are pure, but if not, they are impure because the land of a house is like it down to the depths.
