Talmud for Kelim 19:2

הַחֶבֶל הַיּוֹצֵא מִן הַמִּטָּה, עַד חֲמִשָּׁה טְפָחִים, טָהוֹר. מֵחֲמִשָּׁה וְעַד עֲשָׂרָה, טָמֵא. מֵעֲשָׂרָה וְלַחוּץ, טָהוֹר, שֶׁבּוֹ קוֹשְׁרִין אֶת הַפְּסָחִים, וּמְשַׁלְשְׁלִין אֶת הַמִּטּוֹת:

A rope that hangs out from a bed: If it is shorter than five <em>tefachim</em> [handbreadths], it is pure; if it is from five to ten <em>tefachim</em> long, it is impure. From ten <em>tefachim</em> and longer, it is pure, for it is with [this rope] that they tie paschal lambs [to the bed, to control them until Pesah], and lower down beds.
