הָעוֹשֶׂה שְׁנַיִם מִן הַבֶּגֶד וְאֶחָד מִן הַשַּׂק, שְׁלָשְׁתָּן מִן הַשַּׂק וְאֶחָד מִן הָעוֹר, אַרְבָּעָה מִן הָעוֹר וְאֶחָד מִן הַמַּפָּץ, טָהוֹר. חֲמִשָּׁה מִן הַמַּפָּץ וְאֶחָד מִן הָעוֹר, אַרְבָּעָה מִן הָעוֹר וְאֶחָד מִן הַשַּׂק, שְׁלֹשָׁה מִן הַשַּׂק וְאֶחָד מִן הַבֶּגֶד, טָמֵא. זֶה הַכְּלָל, כֹּל שֶׁחִבֵּר לוֹ מִן הֶחָמוּר מִמֶּנּוּ, טָמֵא. מִן הַקַּל מִמֶּנּוּ, טָהוֹר:

One who makes a piece of material from two [handbreadths] of cloth and one [handbreadth] of sack-cloth, or three of sack-cloth and one of leather, or four of leather and one of matting, it is pure [insusceptible to impurity]. If [one made something] of five [handbreadths] of matting and one of leather, or four of leather and one of sack-cloth, or three of sack-cloth and one of cloth, it is [susceptible to being rendered] impure. This is the general rule: anything to which one attached something of a higher level of stringency is [susceptible to being remdered] impure; [anything to which one attached something] of a lesser level of stringency is pure.
