נִטְמָא הָרֹבַע, הָרֹבַע וַאֲחוֹרָיו טְמֵאִין, חֲצִי הָרֹבַע וַאֲחוֹרָיו טְהוֹרִין. נִטְמָא חֲצִי הָרֹבַע, חֲצִי הָרֹבַע וַאֲחוֹרָיו טְמֵאִין, הָרֹבַע וַאֲחוֹרָיו טְהוֹרִין. נִטְמְאוּ אֲחוֹרֵי הָרֹבַע, אֲחוֹרֵי חֲצִי הָרֹבַע טְהוֹרִין, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, אֵין חוֹלְקִין אֶת הַגַּבָּיִין. וּכְשֶׁהוּא מַטְבִּיל, מַטְבִּיל אֶת כֻּלּוֹ:

If the [inside of the] <i>rova</i> [measure] was rendered impure, the <i>rova</i> and its outsides are impure, [and] the half <i>rova</i> and its outsides are pure. If the [inside of the] half <i>rova</i> was rendered impure, the half <i>rova</i> and its outsides are impure, [and] the <i>rova</i> and its outsides are pure. If the outsides of the <i>rova</i> were rendered impure, the outsides of the half <i>rova</i> are pure, according to Rabbi Meir. And the Sages say: the outer sides cannot be divided [in purity status]. And when one immerses it [for purification], he must immerse it in its entirety.
