Commentaire sur Kéilim 24:3
שָׁלֹשׁ עֲרֵבוֹת הֵן. עֲרֵבָה מִשְּׁנֵי לֹג וְעַד תִּשְׁעָה קַבִּין שֶׁנִּסְדְּקָה, טְמֵאָה מִדְרָס. שְׁלֵמָה, טְמֵאָה טְמֵא מֵת. וְהַבָּאָה בַמִּדָּה, טְהוֹרָה מִכְּלוּם:
Il existe trois types de creux: un creux [qui peut contenir] entre deux bûches [une unité de volume spécifique] à neuf kav [une unité de volume plus grande, quatre fois la taille d'une bûche ] qui est fissurée est sensible aux impuretés midras ; [un creux de cette taille qui est] entier est sensible aux impuretés de cadavre; et celui qui détient une mesure [suffisamment grande] est pur de tous [types d'impuretés].

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
There are three different types of baking-troughs:
If a baking-trough of a capacity from two log to nine kav was split it is susceptible to midras uncleanness; This section was explained above in 20:2. There I wrote: A trough that is large enough to hold between two logs of liquid (1/2 of a kav) and nine kav and then is split, is subsequently susceptible to midras impurity because it can be used for sitting. Note that when it was used to hold liquids it would not have been used as a seat and therefore it would not have been susceptible to midras impurity.

טמאה טמא מת – for it is a vessel of usage.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
If it was whole it is susceptible to corpse uncleanness; As stated above, when whole the trough could not have been used as a seat and therefore it was just a normal vessel, susceptible to corpse impurity.

Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
הבאה במדה (holds prescribed measure) – that it holds forty Se’ah in moist which are two Kor dry.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
And if it holds the prescribed measure it is free from all uncleanness. If the trough can hold 40 seahs, it is too big to be transported and therefore it is not susceptible. This halakhah was learned in 15:1.

טהורה מכלום – that because of its heaviness and size it doesn’t carry full, but we require something similar to a sack that carries full and empty.
