Any [tumah] uncertainty that is ruled tahor [with regard] to terumah is ruled tahor [with regard] to chatas. Any [tumah un-certainty] that is ruled suspended [with regard] to terumah is spilled out [with regard] to chatas. If tahor items were pre-pared on its basis, they are suspended.  Screens are tahor [with regard] to sacrificial foods, terumah, and chatas. R’ Eliezer says: Loosely connected boards are tamei [with regard] to chatas.

Pressed figs of terumah that fell into mei chatas and he took it and ate it, if its volume is like that of an egg, whether [it is] tamei or tahor, the water is [rendered] tamei, and the person who eats it is liable to death. [If] its volume is not like that of an egg, the water [remains] tahor, [but] the person who eats it is liable to death. R’ Yose says: [If it is] tahor, the water [re-mains] tahor.  A person who is tahor for [mei] chatas who immersed his head and the greater part of his body in mei chatas is [rendered] tamei.

Whatever requires immersion in water under Biblical law renders tamei sacrificial food, terumah, chullin, and [second] tithe, and is forbidden with regard to entering the Temple.  After immersion, it renders tamei sacri-ficial food and dis-qualifies terumah. [These are] the words of R’ Meir; but the Sages say: It disqualifies sacrificial food and terumah, and is permitted with regard to chullin and [second] tithe. And if he entered the Temple, whether before his immersion or after his immersion, he is liable.

Whatever requires immersion in water under Rabbinical law renders tamei sacrificial food and disqualifies terumah, but is permitted with regard to chullin and [second] tithe. [These are] the words of R’ Meir; but the Sages forbid in regard to [sec-ond] tithe.  After his immersion, he is permitted with regard to all of them.  And if he comes into the Temple, whether before his immersion or after his immersion, he is exempt.
