תֵּבָה שֶׁפִּתְחָהּ מִלְמַעְלָה, טְמֵאָה טְמֵא מֵת. נִפְחֲתָה מִלְמַעְלָה, טְמֵאָה טְמֵא מֵת. נִפְחֲתָה מִלְּמַטָּה, טְהוֹרָה. מְגוּרוֹת שֶׁבָּהּ, טְמֵאוֹת, וְאֵינָם חִבּוּר לָהּ:
Pudełko, którego otwór znajduje się u góry, jest podatne na zanieczyszczenie zwłokami. Jeśli został uszkodzony powyżej, nadal jest podatny na zanieczyszczenie zwłok. Jeśli został uszkodzony poniżej, staje się czysty. Przedziały w nim pozostają nieczyste i nie są uważane za połączone z nim.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
A box whose opening is at the top is susceptible to corpse uncleanness. If a box has an opening on its top it is susceptible to corpse uncleanness, and to other types of uncleanness as well. The only type of impurity to which it is not susceptible is midras impurity, because midras impurity is imparted only to objects that are meant for sitting.
