[If] a woman entered [her home] in order to bring out bread to a poor man, and she went out and found him standing next to loaves of terumah, and similarly, [if] a woman went outside and found her friend stirring coals under a pot of terumah, R’ Akiva [rules] tamei while the Sages [rule] tahor. R’ Elazar ben Pila said: Why does R’ Akiva [rule it] tamei while the Sages [rule it] ta-hor? Because women are gluttonous, and she is suspected of uncovering the pot of her friend in order to know what she is cooking.

[If] one lives together with an am haaretz in a courtyard, and [he] forgot utensils in the courtyard, even sealed [earthenware] barrels or a sealed [earthenware] oven, these are tamei. R’ Yehudah [rules] the oven tahor when it is sealed. R’ Yose says: Even the oven is tamei, until he makes a partition for it [that is] ten handbreadths high.

[If] one deposits utensils with an am haaretz, they become tamei with corpse tumah and they become tamei [through] midras. If he knows that he eats terumah, they are tahor from corpse tumah, but they are tamei [through] midras. R’ Yose says: If he gave him a chest full of clothes, when [the lid] presses [down on the clothes], they become tamei midras; if [the lid] does not press [down on the clothes], they become tamei with a light tumah, even if the key is in the owner’s hand.

[If] one loses [an object] during the day and finds it the [same] day, [it is] tahor. During the day and he found it during the night; during the night and he it during the day; during the day and he found it the following day, [it is] tamei. This is the rule: Wherev-er the [entire] night or part of it passes over it, [it is] tamei. [If] one spreads out clothes in the pub-lic domain, they are tahor; in the private domain, they are tamei. And if he was watching them, they are tahor. [If] they fell and he went to bring them, they are tamei. [If] his bucket fell into the well of an am haaretz, and he went to bring [something] with which to raise it, [it is] tamei, since it was left in the domain of the am haaretz for a short time.
