Corpse bearers that will be passing under a portico, and one of them shut the door and closed it with the key — if the door can remain closed by itself, [the house] re-mains tahor, but if not, [the house] becomes tamei. A similar case would be where a barrel of dried figs or a box of straw was placed in a window. If the dried figs or straw can remain in place by themselves, [the contents] remain tahor, but if not, everything becomes tamei. A house was partitioned with jugs that were plastered with clay. If the clay can remain [in place] by itself, [the other side of the house] remains tahor, but if not, it becomes tamei.
