Mishnah 1א׳

סָגוֹס עָבֶה וְכֹפֶת עָבֶה, אֵינָן מְבִיאִין אֶת הַטֻּמְאָה, עַד שֶׁיְּהוּ גְבוֹהִין מִן הָאָרֶץ פּוֹתֵחַ טֶפַח. קְפוּלִין זוֹ עַל גַּבֵּי זוֹ, אֵינָן מְבִיאוֹת אֶת הַטֻּמְאָה, עַד שֶׁתְּהֵא הָעֶלְיוֹנָה גְבוֹהָה מִן הָאָרֶץ פּוֹתֵחַ טֶפַח. טַבְלָיוֹת שֶׁל עֵץ זוֹ עַל גַּב זוֹ אֵינָן מְבִיאוֹת אֶת הַטֻּמְאָה, עַד שֶׁתְּהֵא הָעֶלְיוֹנָה גְבוֹהָה מִן הָאָרֶץ פּוֹתֵחַ טֶפַח. וְאִם הָיוּ שֶׁל שַׁיִשׁ, טֻמְאָה בוֹקַעַת וְעוֹלָה, בּוֹקַעַת וְיוֹרָדֶת:

A thick coat and a thick [wood] block do not spread impurity until they are a handbreadth's space above the ground. Folded garments that are on top of one another, do not spread impurity until the top one is off of the ground by a handbreadth's space. Wooden tablets that are on top of one another do not spread impurity until the top one is above the ground by a handbreadth's space. If they were made of marble, the impurity pierces and goes up, pierces and goes down.

Mishnah 2ב׳

טַבְלָיוֹת שֶׁל עֵץ שֶׁהֵן נוֹגְעוֹת זוֹ בָזוֹ בְקַרְנוֹתֵיהֶם וְהֵן גְּבוֹהוֹת מִן הָאָרֶץ פּוֹתֵחַ טֶפַח, טֻמְאָה תַחַת אַחַת מֵהֶן, הַנּוֹגֵעַ בַּשְּׁנִיָּה, טָמֵא טֻמְאַת שִׁבְעָה, כֵּלִים שֶׁתַּחַת הָרִאשׁוֹנָה טְמֵאִים, וְשֶׁתַּחַת הַשְּׁנִיָּה טְהוֹרִין. הַשֻּׁלְחָן אֵינוֹ מֵבִיא אֶת הַטֻּמְאָה, עַד שֶׁיְּהֵא בוֹ רִבּוּעַ בְּפוֹתֵחַ טָפַח:

Wooden tablets that touch one another at their corners and they are a handbreadth's space above the ground, if there is impurity underneath one of them, one who touches the second one is impure for seven days. Vessels underneath the first one are impure but those under the second remain pure. A table does not spread impurity until it has in it a square that is a handbreadth's space.
