Reference for Kelim 17:1

כָּל כְּלֵי בַעֲלֵי בָתִּים, שִׁעוּרָן בְּרִמּוֹנִים. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, בְּמַה שֶּׁהֵן. קֻפּוֹת הַגַּנָּנִים, שִׁעוּרָן בַּאֲגֻדּוֹת שֶׁל יָרָק. שֶׁל בַּעֲלֵי בָתִּים, בְּתֶבֶן. שֶׁל בַּלָּנִין, בִּגְבָבָה. רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אוֹמֵר, כֻּלָּן בְּרִמּוֹנִים:

All vessels [of wood, leather or bone] that belong to householders [become pure if they become pierced with holes] the size of pomegranates. Rabbi Eliezer says: [the size of the required hole depends] on what it is used for. Gardeners’ vegetable baskets [become pure if the holes in them are] the size of bundles of vegetables. Baskets of householders [become clean if the holes in them are] the size of [bundles] of straws. Those of bath-keepers, if bundles of chaff [will drop through]. Rabbi Yehoshua says: in all these the size is that of pomegranates.
