Comentario sobre Zevahim 11:5
בֶּגֶד שֶׁיָּצָא חוּץ לַקְּלָעִים, נִכְנָס וּמְכַבְּסוֹ בְמָקוֹם קָדוֹשׁ. נִטְמָא חוּץ לַקְּלָעִים, קוֹרְעוֹ, וְנִכְנָס וּמְכַבְּסוֹ בְמָקוֹם קָדוֹשׁ. כְּלִי חֶרֶס שֶׁיָּצָא חוּץ לַקְּלָעִים, נִכְנָס וְשׁוֹבְרוֹ בְמָקוֹם קָדוֹשׁ. נִטְמָא חוּץ לַקְּלָעִים, נוֹקְבוֹ, וְנִכְנָס וְשׁוֹבְרוֹ בְמָקוֹם קָדוֹשׁ:
[Si] una prenda salió de las cortinas [los recintos del Templo], se trae y se lava en un lugar sagrado. Si se volvió impuro fuera de las cortinas, uno debería rasgarlo, llevarlo adentro y lavarlo en un lugar sagrado. [Si] un recipiente de barro salió de las cortinas, uno lo trae y lo rompe en un lugar sagrado. [Si] se volvió impuro fuera de las cortinas, uno lo atraviesa, lo lleva adentro y lo rompe en un lugar sagrado.

If the garment which was splattered with the hatat blood is brought out of Temple confines (the Mishnah always uses the term “curtains” which refers to the Tabernacle, even though it clearly means the walls of the Temple), it must be brought back into the Temple and washed there.

English Explanation of Mishnah Zevachim
If it was defiled outside the curtains, one must tear it, then it re-enters, and is washed in the holy place. If it is defiled outside the Temple, it cannot be brought back into the Temple because it is prohibited to bring defilement into the Temple. Therefore, he should tear it, and thereby make it no longer susceptible to impurity. Once garments are torn and thereby no longer are “garments” they are pure. Then he can bring it back into the Temple and wash it there.

ונכנס ומכבסו במקום קדוש – and even though the cloth that was defiled and he tore the majority of it, he still remains in his defilement according to the Rabbis until there doesn’t remain in its connection in order to be the width of a scarf hanging around the head and hanging down over the neck.

Bartenura on Mishnah Zevachim
נוקבו – [makes a hole in it] to purify it from its defilement. And especially a hole that is lik the measurement of a small root, that through this it is pure from its defilement and it still is a utensil and fulfills the Mitzvah of breaking in the Temple, but if he made a large perforation, and it departed from being considered a utensil, it can no longer enter [the Temple] and one breaks it, for the All-Merciful stated (Leviticus 7:21): “An earthen vessel in which it was boiled shall be broken,’ at the time of breaking it will be a utensil, but this [object] at the time of breaking is not a utensil.

English Explanation of Mishnah Zevachim
If it was defiled outside the curtains, a hole is made in it, then it re-enters and is broken in a holy place. And if it becomes impure outside the Temple, he puts a hole in it. This makes it pure because a vessel with a hole in it is no longer usable as a vessel and it thereby becomes pure. Then he can bring it back in and break it inside the Temple.
