Reference for Kelim 19:5

מִטָּה שֶׁהָיְתָה טְמֵאָה מִדְרָס, וְכָרַךְ לָהּ מִזְרָן, כֻּלָּהּ טְמֵאָה מִדְרָס. פֵּרְשָׁה, הִיא טְמֵאָה מִדְרָס, וְהַמִּזְרָן מַגַּע מִדְרָס. הָיְתָה טְמֵאָה טֻמְאַת שִׁבְעָה, וְכָרַךְ לָהּ מִזְרָן, כֻּלָּהּ טְמֵאָה טֻמְאַת שִׁבְעָה. פֵּרְשָׁה, הִיא טְמֵאָה טֻמְאַת שִׁבְעָה, וְהַמִּזְרָן טָמֵא טֻמְאַת עָרֶב. הָיְתָה טְמֵאָה טֻמְאַת עֶרֶב, וְכָרַךְ לָהּ מִזְרָן, כֻּלָּהּ טְמֵאָה טֻמְאַת עָרֶב. פֵּרְשָׁה, הִיא טְמֵאָה טֻמְאַת עֶרֶב, וְהַמִּזְרָן טָהוֹר:

If a bed had <em>midras</em> impurity and one wrapped a mattress strap around it, the whole becomes impure through <em>midras</em> impurity. If he removed it, the bed remains impure through <em>midras</em> impurity, but the mattress strap is impure only from contact with <em>midras</em> impurity. If it had seven-day impurity [from exposure to a corpse] and one wrapped a mattress strap around it, the whole becomes impure from seven-day impurity. If he removed it, the bed remains impure through seven-day impurity, but the mattress strap is impure [only] until the evening. If the bed was impure until evening, and he wrapped a mattress strap around it, the whole becomes impure until evening. If he removed it, the bed remains impure until evening, but the mattress strap becomes pure.
