Mishnah 1א׳

טַבַּעַת אָדָם, טְמֵאָה. טַבַּעַת בְּהֵמָה וְכֵלִים וּשְׁאָר כָּל הַטַּבָּעוֹת, טְהוֹרוֹת. קוֹרַת הַחִצִּים, טְמֵאָה. וְשֶׁל אֲסִירִין, טְהוֹרָה. הַקּוֹלָר, טְמֵאָה. שַׁלְשֶׁלֶת שֶׁיֶּשׁ בָּהּ בֵּית נְעִילָה, טְמֵאָה. הָעֲשׂוּיָה לִכְפִיתָה, טְהוֹרָה. שַׁלְשֶׁלֶת שֶׁל סִיטוֹנוֹת, טְמֵאָה, שֶׁל בַּעֲלֵי בָתִּים טְהוֹרָה. אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹסֵי, אֵימָתַי, בִּזְמַן שֶׁהוּא מַפְתֵּחַ אֶחָד, אֲבָל אִם הָיוּ שְׁנַיִם, אוֹ שֶׁקָּשַׁר חִלָּזוֹן בְּרֹאשָׁהּ, טְמֵאָה:

A ring for a person is susceptible to impurity. A ring for cattle or for vessels and all other rings are not susceptible to impurity. A beam for arrows is susceptible to impurity, but one for prisoners is pure. A prisoner's collar is susceptible to impurity. A chain that has a lock-piece is susceptible to impurity. But that used for tying up cattle is pure. The chain used by wholesalers is susceptible to impurity. That used by householders is pure. Rabbi Yose said: When is this so? When it comes from one door, but when it comes from two doors or if it had a snail[-shaped] piece at its end, it is susceptible to impurity.

Mishnah 2ב׳

קְנֵה מֹאזְנַיִם שֶׁל סָרוֹקוֹת, טָמֵא, מִפְּנֵי אֻנְקְלָיוֹת. וְשֶׁל בַּעֲלֵי בָתִּים, אִם יֶשׁ בּוֹ אֻנְקְלָיוֹת, טָמֵא. אֻנְקְלִין שֶׁל כַּתָּפִין, טְהוֹרָה. וְשֶׁל רוֹכְלִים, טְמֵאָה. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, שֶׁל רוֹכְלִים, שֶׁלְּפָנָיו טְמֵאָה, וְשֶׁלְּאַחֲרָיו טְהוֹרָה. אֻנְקְלִי דַרְגָּשׁ, טְמֵאָה. וְשֶׁל נַקְלִיטִין, טְהוֹרָה. שֶׁל שִׁדָּה, טְמֵאָה. וְשֶׁל אָקוֹן, טְהוֹרָה. שֶׁל שֻׁלְחָן, טָמֵא. שֶׁל מְנוֹרַת הָעֵץ, טָהוֹר. זֶה הַכְּלָל, כָּל הַמְחֻבָּר לַטָּמֵא, טָמֵא. וְהַמְחֻבָּר לַטָּהוֹר, טָהוֹר. וְכֻלָּן, אַחַת אַחַת בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָן, טְהוֹרוֹת:

If one purchases the scales of wool-dealers, they are subject to impurity, because of the hooks. Of householders, if they have hooks, they are impure. Carriers' hooks are pure. Of merchants, impure. Rabbi Yehudah says, [hooks] of merchants, what is before him is impure, and what is behind him is pure. The hooks of a footstool are impure. Of poles on a bedstead, pure. Of a strongbox, impure. Of a reed-basket, pure. Of a table, impure. Of a wooden lamp, pure. This is the rule: All [hooks] that are attached to something subject to impurity are also subject to impurity. All [hooks] that are attached to something not subject to impurity are also not subject to impurity. All [hooks] that are [detached so that] each one is by itself, are pure.
