Mishnah 1א׳
הַכַּדּוּר וְהָאִמּוּם וְהַקָּמֵעַ וְהַתְּפִלִּין שֶׁנִּקְרְעוּ, הַנּוֹגֵעַ בָּהֶן, טָמֵא. וּבְמַה שֶּׁבְּתוֹכָן, טָהוֹר. הָאֻכָּף שֶׁנִּקְרַע, הַנּוֹגֵעַ בְּמַה שֶּׁבְּתוֹכוֹ, טָמֵא, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהַתֶּפֶר מְחַבְּרוֹ:
A ball, a mold, an amulet or tefillin which were torn [after becoming impure]: one that touches them becomes impure, but one that touches what is inside them remains pure. A saddle which was torn: one that touches its contents becomes impure, because the stitching joins them.
Mishnah 2ב׳
אֵלּוּ טְמֵאִין מִשּׁוּם מֶרְכָּב, זָרֵיז הָאַשְׁקְלוֹנִי, וּמְדוֹכָה הַמָּדִית, וְעָבִיט שֶׁל גָּמָל, וְטַפֵּיטָן שֶׁל סוּס. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, אַף טַפֵּיטָן שֶׁל סוּס טָמֵא מִשּׁוּם מוֹשָׁב, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁעוֹמְדִין עָלָיו בַּקֻּמְפּוֹן. אֲבָל אֻכָּף שֶׁל נָאקָה, טָמֵא:
The following are susceptible to impurity as objects that are fit for riding upon: an Ashkelonian saddle, a Medean saddle, a camel's cushion, and a horse-cloth. Rabbi Yose says: a horse-cloth is susceptible to impurity as a seat, since people stand on it in the arena. But a saddle of a camel is susceptible to [sitting] impurity.
