En ce qui concerne la viande sanctifiée sur laquelle un film [des jus et des assaisonnements] s'est figé, si un tevul yom a touché le film, les tranches [de viande] sont autorisées [c'est-à-dire qu'elles ne sont pas considérées comme liées au film]. S'il touche une tranche, la tranche et tout ce qui va avec sont considérés comme connectés les uns aux autres. Le rabbin Yochanan ben Nuri dit: ils sont tous les deux [c'est-à-dire dans le premier cas également] considérés comme connectés les uns aux autres. Et de même en ce qui concerne les haricots qui ont gelé sur des tranches de pain. En ce qui concerne les haricots cuits dans une marmite, lorsqu'ils sont séparés, ils ne sont pas considérés comme liés [les uns aux autres]; lorsqu'ils sont dans une seule masse, ils sont considérés comme connectés; et s'il y avait plusieurs masses, il faut les compter [c'est-à-dire que celle qui a touché la source d'impureté conserve un degré primaire d'impureté, et la masse suivante à la toucher conserve une impureté du second degré, et ainsi de suite]. En ce qui concerne l'huile qui flotte sur le vin, si un tevul yom a touché l'huile, il n'a fait que invalider l'huile. Le rabbin Yohanan ben Nuri dit: ils sont tous deux considérés comme connectés les uns aux autres.
Bartenura on Mishnah Tevul Yom
בשר הקודש שקרם עליו הקיפה (sacred flesh on the top of which a layer of jelly was formed – as a crust) – the spices and the soup and the fat of the meat congealed upon it, that it was softened and everything became like a kind of crust.

English Explanation of Mishnah Tevul Yom
Sanctified meat over which the porridge crusted, and a tevul yom touched the crust, the slices [of meat] are permitted. But if he touched one of the slices, that slice and all [the crust] that comes up with it form a connective the one with the other. Rabbi Yohanan ben Nuri says: the two of them serve as connectives to each other. Sanctified meat, meaning meat that was part of a sacrifice, has been cooked in a pot with some porridge. The porridge crusts over the meat. According to the first opinion, the meat is not considered part of the crust. Thus if a tevul yom touches the crust, the meat is still permitted. It has not been disqualified. However, if he touches the meat itself, the meat and any part of the crust that would be lifted out of the dish with the meat is disqualified. The other parts of the porridge can still be eaten. Rabbi Yohanan ben Nuri rules that the entire porridge and meat is considered connected. Thus if he touches any part of the porridge, the meat is disqualified.

וכל העולים עימה – is considered connected to it, but the rest is ritually pure.

English Explanation of Mishnah Tevul Yom
Beans or other foods cooked in a pot: when they are still separate, do not serve as connectives; but when they become a solid pulp, they do act as connectives. If they formed several solid masses, they are to be counted. Having mentioned beans, the mishnah now discusses general cases of beans or other foods cooked in a pot. If the pieces of the food are still separate from one another, they don't count as connected. But a solid mass is connected and if he touches one part of the mass, it is all disqualified. If there are several solid masses, then the one he touches has first degree impurity. The mass that is next to it and touching it, has second degree impurity and the third mass will be disqualified if it is of terumah. When the mishnah says "counted" it means that the usual process of counting impurity begins from the mass he touched.

English Explanation of Mishnah Tevul Yom
If oil floats on wine and a tevul yom touched the oil, only the oil is disqualified. But Rabbi Yohanan ben Nuri says: each serves as a connective with the other. This is similar to the case in yesterday's mishnah. If the oil floats on the wine, only the oil is disqualified. Rabbi Yohanan ben Nuri again disagrees and holds that the substances are considered to be connected.

הרי אלו ימנו (lo, they are counted – if there are many masses of pulse) – if the unclean reptile touched one of them, it is first [degree of ritual uncleanness], and the clod/lump that is adjacent to it is second [degree of ritual uncleanness], and the other that is adjacent/next to the second [degree of ritual uncleanness] is third-degree uncleanness of heave-offering/priest’s due.
