כָּל הַמְטַמְּאִין בְּאֹהֶל שֶׁנֶּחְלְקוּ וְהִכְנִיסָן לְתוֹךְ הַבַּיִת, רַבִּי דוֹסָא בֶן הָרְכִּינָס מְטַהֵר, וַחֲכָמִים מְטַמְּאִין. כֵּיצַד? הַנּוֹגֵעַ בְּכִשְׁנֵי חֲצָאֵי זֵיתִים מִן הַנְּבֵלָה אוֹ נוֹשְׂאָן; וּבַמֵּת, הַנּוֹגֵעַ בְּכַחֲצִי זַיִת וּמַאֲהִיל עַל כַּחֲצִי זַיִת, אוֹ נוֹגֵעַ בְּכַחֲצִי זַיִת וְכַחֲצִי זַיִת מַאֲהִיל עָלָיו, וּמַאֲהִיל עַל כִּשְׁנֵי חֲצָאֵי זֵיתִים, מַאֲהִיל עַל כַּחֲצִי זַיִת וְכַחֲצִי זַיִת מַאֲהִיל עָלָיו, רַבִּי דוֹסָא בֶן הָרְכִּינָס מְטַהֵר, וַחֲכָמִים מְטַמְּאִין. אֲבָל הַנּוֹגֵעַ בְּכַחֲצִי זַיִת וְדָבָר אַחֵר מַאֲהִיל עָלָיו וְעַל כַּחֲצִי זַיִת, אוֹ מַאֲהִיל עַל כַּחֲצִי זַיִת וְדָבָר אַחֵר מַאֲהִיל עָלָיו וְעַל כַּחֲצִי זַיִת, טָהוֹר.
אָמַר רַבִּי מֵאִיר: אַף בָּזֶה, רַבִּי דוֹסָא מְטַהֵר וַחֲכָמִים מְטַמְּאִין. הַכֹּל טָמֵא, חוּץ מִן הַמַּגָּע עִם הַמַּשָּׂא וְהַמַּשָּׂא עִם הָאֹהֶל.
זֶה הַכְּלָל: כֹּל שֶׁהוּא מִשֵּׁם אֶחָד, טָמֵא; מִשְּׁנֵי שֵׁמוֹת, טָהוֹר.
[If] any of the parts that convey tumah through ohel were divided and one brought [the pieces] into a house, R' Dosa ben Horkinas rules [that the person remains] tahor, but the Sages rule [that he becomes] tamei. How so? If one [simultaneously] touches two half-olive-sized [pieces] of neveilah or carries them; or, in the case of a corpse, if one touches a half-olive-sized piece while he forms a “roof” over a half-olive-sized piece, or if one touches a half-olive-sized [piece] while [another] half-olive-sized [piece] forms a “roof” over him, or he forms a “roof” over two half-olive-sized [pieces, or] he forms a “roof” over [one] half-olive-sized [piece] while [another] half-olive-sized [piece] forms a “roof” over him; [in each of these cases,] R' Dosa ben Horkinas rules [that the person remains] tahor, while the Sages rule [that he becomes] tamei. But if one touches a half-olive-sized [piece of a corpse] while something forms a roof over him and over [another] half-olive-sized [piece], or if one forms a roof over a half-olive-sized piece while something forms a roof over him and over another half-olive-sized piece, [he remains] tahor.
R' Meir said: Even in this case, R' Dosa rules [that the person remains] tahor and the Sages rule [that he becomes] tamei. [In] every case [where a person is subject to tumah from two undersized pieces of a corpse, the Sages maintain that he be-comes] tamei, except [for a combination of] touch and carrying, or carrying and “roof.”
This is the rule [according to the Sages:] Any [two associations] from the same category [render the person] tamei, whereas from two [different] categories [leave him] tahor.
