לָגִין שֶׁל חַטָּאת שֶׁנָּגַע בְּשֶׁל קֹדֶשׁ וְשֶׁל תְּרוּמָה, שֶׁל חַטָּאת, טָמֵא. וְשֶׁל קֹדֶשׁ וְשֶׁל תְּרוּמָה, טְהוֹרִין. שְׁנֵיהֶן בִּשְׁתֵּי יָדָיו, שְׁנֵיהֶן טְמֵאִים. שְׁנֵיהֶם בִּשְׁנֵי נְיָרוֹת, שְׁנֵיהֶם טְהוֹרִים. שֶׁל חַטָּאת בִּנְיָר וְשֶׁל תְּרוּמָה בְּיָדוֹ, שְׁנֵיהֶן טְמֵאִין. שֶׁל תְּרוּמָה בִּנְיָר וְשֶׁל חַטָּאת בְּיָדוֹ, שְׁנֵיהֶן טְהוֹרִין. רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אוֹמֵר, שֶׁל חַטָּאת, טָמֵא. הָיוּ נְתוּנִין עַל גַּבֵּי הָאָרֶץ וְנָגַע בָּהֶם, שֶׁל חַטָּאת, טָמֵא. שֶׁל קֹדֶשׁ וְשֶׁל תְּרוּמָה, טְהוֹרִים. הֱסִיטָן, רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ מְטַמֵּא, וַחֲכָמִים מְטַהֲרִין:

Jugs of chatat that touched jugs of sanctified property or of trumah [a portion of produce which must be given to a priest and must be kept ritually pure], [the jug] of chatat is [made] impure and that of the sanctified property or of trumah is pure. If [he holds] both of them in two hands [i.e. the chatat jug in one hand and one of the other types in the other], both of them [the jugs] are impure. If the two of them were [wrapped] in two pieces of paper [as he held them in each hand], they are both pure. If that of chatat were in paper and that of trumah was in his hand, they are both impure. If that of trumah was in paper and that of chatat was in his hand, both of them are pure; Rabbi Yehoshua says: "that of the chatat is impure." If they were placed on the ground and one touched them [both, simultaneously], that of the chatat is impure, and that of the sanctified property or of the trumah are pure. If he moved them [without touching them], Rabbi Yehoshua considers [them] impure, and the Sages consider [them] pure.

Tosefta Chagigah

There is a greater stringency with regards to consecrated food [of sacrifices] and Terumah than with regards to the [waters of] purification [containing the ashes of the red heifer], since everyone is believed regarding [the purity status of the waters of] purification, but not everyone is believed as to [the purity status of] consecrated foods or Terumah. There is greater stringency with regards to the [waters of] purification, which is that one who is pure [with respect to the waters of purification] is impure with respect to consecrated food and Terumah, and there is no than with the purity of consecrated food and Terumah. There is a "counting" with respect to consecrated food and Terumah (i.e., 3rd- and 4th- level impurity, see Minchat Yitzchak), but there is no "counting" as to the [waters of] purification. A mourner is forbidden [to partake] in tithes but permitted [to partake] in Terumah and in [the purification rite involving] the red heifer. A tevul yom (i.e., one who has immersed but remains impure until sunset) is forbidden in Terumah but permitted in tithes and in the red heifer. One who lacks atonement (i.e., who has not yet brought a sacrifice) is forbidden in the red heifer but permitted in tithes and in Terumah.
