A potter who put down his pots and went down to drink, the inner ones are tahor while the outer ones are tamei. Said R’ Yose: When are these things said? When they are loose; but when they are bundled, everything is tahor.  [If] one entrusts his key to an am haaretz, the house is tahor, because he entrusted him only with the guarding of the key.

[If] someone leaves an am haaretz in his house: [if he left him] awake and finds him awake, asleep and finds him asleep, [or] awake and finds him asleep, the house is tahor. [But if he leaves him] asleep and finds him awake, [Everything in] the house is tamei. [These are] the words of R’ Meir. But the Sages say: Nothing [in the house]is tamei except for [those items in] the area that he can stretch out his hand and touch.

[If] someone leaves workers in his house, [everything in] the house is tamei. [These are the] words of R’ Meir. But the Sages say: Nothing [in the house] is tamei except for [those items in] the area that they can stretch out their hands and touch.

[If] the wife of a chaver left the wife of an am haaretz grinding in her house; [if] the mill stopped, [everything in] the house is tamei. [If] the mill did not stop, nothing [in the house] is tamei except for [those items in] the area that she can stretch out her hand and touch. [If] there were two [women], then in either case, [everything in] the house is tamei, since one grinds and one examines; these are the words of R’ Meir. But the Sages say: Nothing [in the house] is tamei except for [those items in] the area that they can stretch out their hand and touch.
