Mishnayos Keilim Perek 7 Mishnah 4

כלים פרק ז׳ משנה ד׳

4

If it [the extension] was detached from the stove, whenever it was three fingerbreadths high it contracts impurity by contact and through its air-space, If it was lower or if it was smooth it is clean. If three props on a stove were three fingerbreadths high, they contract impurity by contact and through their air-space. If they were lower, all the more so they contract impurity, even where they were four in number.

הָיְתָה מֻפְרֶשֶׁת מִן הַכִּירָה, בִּזְמַן שֶׁהִיא גְבוֹהָה שָׁלֹשׁ אֶצְבָּעוֹת, מִטַּמָּא בְמַגָּע וּבַאֲוִיר. פְּחוּתָה מִכָּאן אוֹ שֶׁהָיְתָה חֲלָקָה, טְהוֹרָה. פִּטְפּוּטֵי כִירָה, שְׁלֹשָׁה, שֶׁל שָׁלֹשׁ אֶצְבָּעוֹת, מִטַּמְּאִים בְּמַגָּע וּבַאֲוִיר. פָּחוֹת מִכָּאן, כָּל שֶׁכֵּן הֵן טְמֵאִים, וַאֲפִלּוּ הֵן אַרְבָּעָה:

היתה מופרשת – that the artisan did not build from the outset the court/fender[of the stove] and the portable stove with caves for two pots being attached together, but rather, the one is on its own and the other is on its own.

חלקה (smooth) – without a receptacle at all. It is taught this, but you don’t have to mention that.

פטפוטי כירה (clay pins forming a sort of tripod for the double stove) – the feet of the portable stove with caves for two pots, which are three feet, and they are three fingers high, and they are considered like the double stove, and become susceptible to [ritual] defilement through contact and through airspace like the double stove itself. And all the more so if they are less than three fingers, they are judged like the portable stove with caves for two pots/כירה.

ואפילו הן ארבעה – [four] feet. They are judged lie the portable stove with caves for two pots.

היתה מופרשת. שלא בנה האומן מתחלה החצר והכירה מחוברים יחד, אלא זו לעצמה וזו לעצמה:

חלקה. בלא בית קיבול כלל. וזו ואין צריך לומר זו קתני:

פטפוטי כירה. רגלי הכירה, שהם שלשה רגלים והם גבוהים שלש אצבעות, נחשבים ככירה ומיטמאים במגע ובאויר ככירה עצמה, וכל שכן אם הן פחותים משלש אצבעות שהם נידונים ככירה:

ואפילו הן ארבעה. רגלים, נידונים ככירה:
