Mishnah 1א׳

הַמְפָרֵק אֶת הַמִּטָּה לְהַטְבִּילָהּ, וְהַנּוֹגֵעַ בַּחֲבָלִין, טָהוֹר. הַחֶבֶל מֵאֵימָתַי הוּא חִבּוּר לַמִּטָּה, מִשֶּׁיְּסָרֵג בָּהּ שְׁלֹשָׁה בָתִּים. וְהַנּוֹגֵעַ מִן הַקֶּשֶׁר וְלִפְנִים, טָמֵא. מִן הַקֶּשֶׁר וְלַחוּץ, טָהוֹר. נִימֵי הַקֶּשֶׁר, הַנּוֹגֵעַ בְּצָרְכּוֹ, טָמֵא. וְכַמָּה הוּא צָרְכּוֹ, רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, שָׁלֹשׁ אֶצְבָּעוֹת:

One who takes apart a bed in order to immerse it and [while doing so] touches the ropes remains pure. The rope: when does it begin to be considered connected with the bed? Once he knots three rows of meshes. And [if another rope was tied to this one] and a person touches it: If from the knot inwards, he becomes impure, but if from the knot outwards, he remains pure. As to the loose ends of the knot, one who touches that part which is needed for [the knot] becomes impure. And how much is needed for it? Rabbi Yehudah says: three fingerbreadths.

Mishnah 2ב׳

הַחֶבֶל הַיּוֹצֵא מִן הַמִּטָּה, עַד חֲמִשָּׁה טְפָחִים, טָהוֹר. מֵחֲמִשָּׁה וְעַד עֲשָׂרָה, טָמֵא. מֵעֲשָׂרָה וְלַחוּץ, טָהוֹר, שֶׁבּוֹ קוֹשְׁרִין אֶת הַפְּסָחִים, וּמְשַׁלְשְׁלִין אֶת הַמִּטּוֹת:

A rope that hangs out from a bed: If it is shorter than five tefachim [handbreadths], it is pure; if it is from five to ten tefachim long, it is impure. From ten tefachim and longer, it is pure, for it is with [this rope] that they tie paschal lambs [to the bed, to control them until Pesah], and lower down beds.

Mishnah 3ג׳

מִזְרָן הַיּוֹצֵא מִן הַמִּטָּה, כָּל שֶׁהוּא, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, עַד עֲשָׂרָה טְפָחִים. שְׁיָרֵי מִזְרָן, שִׁבְעָה טְפָחִים, כְּדֵי לַעֲשׂוֹתוֹ חֶבֶק לַחֲמוֹר:

A mattress strap that hangs over the bed [is impure] whatever its length; the words of Rabbi Meir. Rabbi Yose says: up to ten tefachim. The remnant of a mattress strap remains unclean if the length is at least seven tefachim, enough to make a donkey's saddle girth.

Mishnah 4ד׳

נִשָּׂא הַזָּב עַל הַמִּטָּה וְעַל הַמִּזְרָן, מְטַמֵּא שְׁנַיִם וּפוֹסֵל אֶחָד, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, נִשָּׂא הַזָּב עַל הַמִּטָּה וְעַל הַמִּזְרָן, עֲשָׂרָה טְפָחִים, מְטַמֵּא שְׁנַיִם וּפוֹסֵל אֶחָד. מֵעֲשָׂרָה וְלַחוּץ, מְטַמֵּא אֶחָד וּפוֹסֵל אֶחָד. נִשָּׂא עַל הַמִּזְרָן, מֵעֲשָׂרָה וְלִפְנִים, טָמֵא. מֵעֲשָׂרָה וְלַחוּץ, טָהוֹר:

If he carried a zav [a male with an abnormal genital discharge] on a bed [with] its mattress strap, [the latter] causes impurity [onward] to the second degree and unfitness [onward] to the first degree; the words of Rabbi Meir. Rabbi Yose says: if he carried a zav on a bed with its mattress strap, [if its length is up to] ten tefachim it causes impurity to the second degree and unfitness to the first degree, but if it is over ten tefachim, it causes only impurity to the first degree and unfitness to the first degree. If he carried [a zav] on the mattress strap [but the zav did not touch the actual bed], [if the strap is] shorter than ten tefachim, it becomes impure, but if it was longer than ten tefachim, it remains pure.
