[If] a cabinet is standing in the open air, and has tumah inside it, [the] utensils inside its sides remain tahor. [If] tumah is inside its sides, the utensils inside [the cabinet] remain tahor. R’ Yose says: Half and half. [If the cabinet] is standing inside a house, [and] tumah is inside [the cabinet], the house becomes tamei. [If] tumah is inside the house, whatever is inside [the cab-inet] remains tahor, because it is the way of the tumah to exit, but it is not the way [of the tumah] to enter. [In a case where] there are utensils between [the cabinet] and either the ground, the wall, or the ceiling beams — if there is a space of one handbreadth, they are tamei; but if not, they are tahor. [If] tumah is there, the house becomes tamei.

A drawer of a cabinet contains a [cubic] handbreadth of empty space and has an opening smaller than a [square] handbreadth. [If there is] tumah inside [the drawer], the house becomes tamei. [If] there is tumah inside the house, whatever is inside [the drawer] remains tahor, because it is the way of the tumah to exit, but it is not the way [of the tumah] to enter. R’ Yose rules [the house] tahor, because one can remove [the tumah] in halves, or burn it in its place.

[If the cabinet] is standing in the doorway, open to the outside, [and there is] tumah inside [the cabinet], the house remains tahor. [If there is] tumah in the house, what-ever is inside [the cabinet] becomes tamei, because it is the way of the tumah to exit, but it is not the way [of the tumah] to enter. If its wheel extends [no more than] three fingerbreadths beyond [the basket], [and the wheel contains] tumah that is beneath the ceiling beams [of a house], the house remains tahor. When does this ruling apply? When (1) there is a space of one [cubic] handbreadth [in the wheel], (2) [the wheel] is not removable, and (3) the cabinet is large.

An oven whose opening is vented outdoors is located inside a house and pallbearers pass over [the opening] — Beis Shammai say: Everything becomes tamei. Beis Hillel say: The oven becomes tamei, but the house remains tahor. R’ Akiva says: Even the oven remains tahor.
