וְכֵן בֶּגֶד שֶׁאָרַג בּוֹ שָׁלֹשׁ עַל שָׁלֹשׁ, וְנִטְמָא טְמֵא מֵת, וְהִשְׁלִים עָלָיו אֶת כָּל הַבֶּגֶד, וְאַחַר כָּךְ נָטַל חוּט אֶחָד מִתְּחִלָּתוֹ, טָהוֹר מִטְּמֵא מֵת, אֲבָל טָמֵא מַגַּע טְמֵא מֵת. נָטַל חוּט אֶחָד מִתְּחִלָּתוֹ, וְאַחַר כָּךְ הִשְׁלִים עָלָיו אֶת כָּל הַבֶּגֶד, טָהוֹר, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁאָמְרוּ, שָׁלֹשׁ עַל שָׁלֹשׁ שֶׁנִּתְמַעֵט, טָהוֹר. אֲבָל שְׁלֹשָׁה עַל שְׁלֹשָׁה שֶׁנִּתְמַעֵט, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁטָּהוֹר מִמִּדְרָס, טָמֵא בְכָל הַטֻּמְאוֹת:

And likewise regarding a piece of cloth which one wove to be three by three [fingerbreadths] which contracted corpse impurity, and one then completed the whole garment upon it, and then afterwards removed a thread from its initial portion, it is pure of corpse impurity, but is still impure from contact with corpse impurity. If one removed a thread from its initial portion and then afterwards completed the whole garment upon it, it is pure; for They said: a [piece of cloth of] three by three [fingerbreadths] which was diminished is pure. But one of three by three [handbreadths] which was diminished, even though it is pure of <i>midras</i> impurity, is [susceptible to being] impure from all the [other] impurities.
