Commento su Kelim 20:1
הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ טְמֵאִים מִדְרָס. הַקְּלוּסְטָר, אַרְבָּעָה קַבִּין, הַתּוּרְמֵל חֲמֵשֶׁת קַבִּין, הַכְּרֵיתִית סְאָה. הַחֵמֶת שֶׁל שִׁבְעַת קַבִּין, רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אַף הָרִבְצָל וְהַמִּזְוָדָה כָּל שֶׁהֵן, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ טְמֵאִין מִדְרָס. וְכֻלָּם שֶׁנִּפְחֲתוּ, טְהוֹרִים, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁבָּטַל הָעִקָּר, וּבָטְלָה הַטְּפֵלָה:
Cuscini, copriletti, sacchi e valigie che sono stati danneggiati sono ancora suscettibili all'impurità dei midra [trasmessi da seduti o sdraiati]. Una borsa da carne che può contenere quattro kav , una borsa da pastore che può contenere cinque kav , una borsa da viaggio che può contenere un se'ah , una pelle che può contenere sette kav , Rabbi Yehudah aggiunge: anche una borsa delle spezie e un il portafoglio alimentare che può contenere la minima quantità è suscettibile all'impurità dei midra . Se qualcuno di loro è stato danneggiato, diventa puro, poiché se la funzione primaria viene annullata, anche la funzione secondaria viene annullata.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
Pillows, bed coverings, sacks and packing cases that were damaged are still susceptible to midras uncleanness. All of these items were originally made for two purposes to contain something within, and to lie or sit upon. Pillows and bed coverings contain feathers, but they are mostly made for lying or sitting upon. Therefore, they are susceptible to midras impurity (impurity conveyed by sitting, lying or leaning). Sacks and packing cases are mostly for containing things, but from the outset they also are intended to serve as seats or ground coverings. Therefore, even if they are damaged and cannot be used to hold the things that they originally held, they are still susceptible to midras impurity.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
A fodder-bag that can hold four kav, a shepherd's bag that can hold five kav, a traveling bag that can hold a se'ah, a skin that can hold seven kav, Rabbi Judah adds: also a spice-bag, and a food wallet that can hold the smallest quantity are susceptible to midras uncleanness. The mishnah now lists a number of types of bags, and provides a minimum amount that each must hold in order for it to be susceptible to impurity. If it cannot hold this amount, it is not useful and therefore is clean. In addition, since these things can also be used as a seat, they are also susceptible to midras impurity.

מרצופין (packing bags, leather bags, sacks – adapted for ship-loads) – like a species of large leather sacks that they place in them goods that they take on ships.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
If any of them was damaged it becomes clean, since if the primary function ceases the secondary function also ceases. In contrast with the bags listed in section one, these bags have a main purpose to carry things inside them. Sitting is only a secondary function. Therefore, if they are damaged and can no longer carry things, they are no longer susceptible to impurity.
