Commentaire sur Kéilim 24:2
שָׁלֹשׁ עֲגָלוֹת הֵן. הָעֲשׂוּיָה כְקַתֶּדְרָא, טְמֵאָה מִדְרָס. כְּמִטָּה, טְמֵאָה טְמֵא מֵת. וְשֶׁל אֲבָנִים, טְהוֹרָה מִכְּלוּם:
Il existe trois types de wagons: l'un façonné comme un cathedra [c'est-à-dire plus court, et avec des parois sur ses côtés] est sensible à l' impureté midras ; [un façonné] comme un lit [c'est-à-dire plus long] est sensible aux impuretés du cadavre; et un pour [transporter] les pierres est pur de tous [types d'impuretés].

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
And the one for [the transport of] stones is free from all uncleanness. A wagon used to transport large stones is made of boards placed upon the length and breadth of the wagon. There are large gaps between the boards such that it cannot hold in pomegranates. Therefore, it is not considered a vessel that can become impure. Rather, it is a simple wooden vessel (17:1) and simple wooden vessels are not susceptible to impurity.
