Musical lyres are tamei. But the lyres of the Levites are tahor. All liquids are tamei. But the liquids of the butchering place are tahor. All scrolls contaminate the hands, except the scroll of the Temple courtyard. A theater horse is tahor. [As for] a sitar, a niktamon, and a tambourine, these are tamei. R’ Yehudah says: A tambourine is [susceptible to the] tumah of the seat, because the woman-wailer sits on it. A weasel trap is tamei. But a mousetrap is tahor.

Any wooden utensil that broke into two parts is tahor, except for a folding table, a variety platter, and the folding bench of a householder. R’ Yehudah says: Also, the mageis and the Babylonian kod are the same as they. At what point do wooden utensils [become susceptible to] contracting tumah? A bed and a cradle [become tamei] when one smooths them with the skin of a fish. If he decided not to smooth them, they are tamei [right away]. R’ Meir says: A bed [becomes tamei] from when one weaves three battim into it.
