An earthenware vessel cannot contaminate another [earthenware vessel] but [it does contaminate] liquids. [if] a liquid con-tracts tumah, it contaminates it. [Thus,] this one says: “That which contaminates you cannot contaminate me; yet, you can contaminate me!”

Anything that renders terumah unfit con-taminates liquids to be a beginning [level of tumah], [with the capacity] to contam-inate one and render unfit one, except for a tevul yom. [Thus,] this one says: “That which contaminates you cannot contaminate me; yet, you can contaminate me!”
