[In the case of] a house divided by boards or curtains from the sides or from the joists, [if there is] tumah inside the house, utensils inside the partitioned section re-main tahor. [If there is] tumah inside the partitioned section, utensils inside the house become tamei. When there are utensils inside the partitioned section, if there is a cubed handbreadth, they become tamei; if not, they remain tahor.
