סַנְדָּל עִמְקִי, וְכִיס שֶׁל שְׁנָצוֹת, רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אַף כְּפִיפָה מִצְרִית, רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, אַף סַנְדָּל לָדִיקִי כַּיּוֹצֵא בָהֶן, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ מִטַּמְּאִין וּמִטַּהֲרִין שֶׁלֹּא בְאֻמָּן. אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹסֵי, וַהֲלֹא כָל הַכֵּלִים מִטַּמְּאִין וּמִטַּהֲרִין שֶׁלֹּא בְאֻמָּן. אֲבָל אֵלּוּ, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהֵן מֻתָּרִין, טְמֵאִין, שֶׁהַהֶדְיוֹט יָכוֹל לְהַחֲזִירָם. לֹא אָמְרוּ אֶלָּא בִכְפִיפָה מִצְרִית, שֶׁאַף הָאֻמָּן אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לְהַחֲזִירָהּ:
Regarding an Imki sandal [a sandal from the Imki valley, consisting of a piece of leather with attached straps], and a draw-string pouch, Rabbi Yehudah says: also an Egyptian basket, Rabbi Shimon ben Gamaliel says: also a Ladiki sandal [from Ludkia], anything similar to them can thereby be made [susceptible or insusceptible to being rendered] impure or pure without [the aid of] a craftsman. Rabbi Yose said: but are not all vessels able to be rendered [susceptible or insusceptible to being rendered] impure or pure and without a craftsman? Rather, these, even when they are unlaced are [susceptible to being rendered] impure, since a layperson can restore them. They said this [that unlacing something can make it insusceptible to impurity] only regarding an Egyptian basket which even a craftsman cannot [easily] restore.
Mishnah 2ב׳
כִּיס שֶׁל שְׁנָצוֹת שֶׁנִּטְּלוּ שְׁנָצָיו, טָמֵא. נִפְשַׁט, טָהוֹר. טָלָה עָלָיו אֶת הַמַּטְלֵת מִלְּמַטָּן, טָמֵא. כִּיס לְתוֹךְ כִּיס, שֶׁנִּטְמָא אַחַד מֵהֶן בְּמַשְׁקֶה, לֹא נִטְמָא חֲבֵרוֹ. צְרוֹר הַמַּרְגָּלִית, טָמֵא. צְרוֹר הַמָּעוֹת, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר מְטַמֵּא, וַחֲכָמִים מְטַהֲרִים:
A draw-string pouch whose laces were removed is still [susceptible to being rendered] impure; if it flattened out, it is pure [insusceptible to impurity]. If one hung a flap on it from below [such that it can still hold something, even when flattened out], it is [susceptible to being rendered] impure. Regarding a pouch within a pouch, if one of them was rendered impure by a liquid, the other is not rendered impure. A [leather] bundle for a gem is [susceptible to being rendered] impure. Regarding a bundle for money, Rabbi Eliezer considers it [susceptible to being rendered] impure; and the Sages consider it pure [insusceptible to impurity].
