Food that contracted uncleanness from a "father of uncleanness" and one that contracted uncleanness from a derived uncleanness may be combined together to convey uncleanness according to the lighter grade of the two. How so? If the amount of half an egg of food that has first grade uncleanness and the amount of half an egg of food that has second grade uncleanness were mixed together, the two are regarded having second grade uncleanness. And if the amount of half of an egg of food that has second grade uncleanness and the amount of half an egg of food that has third grade uncleanness were mixed together, the two are regarded as having third grade of uncleanness. If the amount of an egg of food having first grade uncleanness and the amount of an egg of food having second grade uncleanness were mixed together, both are regarded as having first grade uncleanness; But if they were then divided, each part is regarded as having second grade uncleanness. If each part separately fell on a loaf of terumah, they cause it to become unfit. But if the two fell together they cause it to have second grade uncleanness.
הָאֹכֶל שֶׁנִּטְמָא בְאַב הַטֻּמְאָה וְשֶׁנִּטְמָא בִוְלַד הַטֻּמְאָה, מִצְטָרְפִין זֶה עִם זֶה לְטַמֵּא כַקַּל שֶׁבִּשְׁנֵיהֶן. כֵּיצַד. כַּחֲצִי בֵיצָה אֹכֶל רִאשׁוֹן וְכַחֲצִי בֵיצָה אֹכֶל שֵׁנִי שֶׁבְּלָלָן זֶה בָזֶה, שֵׁנִי. כַּחֲצִי בֵיצָה אֹכֶל שֵׁנִי וְכַחֲצִי בֵיצָה אֹכֶל שְׁלִישִׁי שֶׁבְּלָלָן זֶה בָזֶה, שְׁלִישִׁי. כַּבֵּיצָה אֹכֶל רִאשׁוֹן וְכַבֵּיצָה אֹכֶל שֵׁנִי שֶׁבְּלָלָן זֶה בָזֶה, רִאשׁוֹן. חִלְּקָן, זֶה שֵׁנִי וְזֶה שֵׁנִי. נָפַל זֶה לְעַצְמוֹ וְזֶה לְעַצְמוֹ עַל כִּכָּר שֶׁל תְּרוּמָה, פְּסָלוּהוּ. נָפְלוּ שְׁנֵיהֶן כְּאַחַת, עֲשָׂאוּהוּ שֵׁנִי:
ה׳

מצטרפין זה עם זה לטמא – if there isn’t in one of them the equivalent of an egg’s bulk, they combine to the measurement to defile according to the lighter/lenient of the two of them, for if it came in contact with/touched heave-offering, it invalidated it, according to the law of food that was defiled by the offspring of uncleanness that invalidates the heave-offering but does not defile it.

כחצי ביצה וכו' – that they mixed this one with that one.

שני – this mixture/combination has the law of second degree [of ritual impurity] upon it and it invalidates the heave-offering.

שלישי – and invalidates the Holy Things.

ראשון – and makes [through] its contact, second-degree [of ritual impurity]. For there is a measurement that first-degree [of ritual impurity] on the body to grant defilement.

חלקן זה שני וזה שני – for in each of them is half of the measurement of the first, and half the measurement of the second. And it is taught in the Mishnah above (see this Mishnah, Tractate Taharot, Chapter 1, Mishnah 5) that first-degree [of ritual impurity] and second-degree [of ritual impurity] combine to the lighter of the two of them.

מצטרפין זה עם זה לטמא. אם אין באחד מהן כביצה, מצטרפין לשיעור לטמא כקל שבשניהם, שאם נגע בתרומה פסלה, כדין אוכל שנטמא בולד הטומאה שפוסל את התרומה ואינו מטמאה:

כחצי ביצה וכו׳ שבללן זה בזה:

שני. התערובת הזה תורת שני עליו ופוסל את התרומה:

שלישי. ופוסל את הקודש:

ראשון. ועושה מגעו שני. דהא איכא שיעורא דראשון בגויה ליתן טומאה:

חלקן זה שני וזה שני. שהרי בכל אחד חצי שיעור דראשון וחצי שיעור דשני, ותנן לעיל ראשון ושני מצטרפין לקל שבהן:

טהרות פרק א׳ משנה ו׳

An egg's worth of food that has second degree uncleanness and an egg's worth of food that has third decree uncleanness that were mixed together are regarded as having second degree uncleanness. If they were then divided, each part is regarded as having only third degree uncleanness. If each part separately fell on a loaf of terumah they do not render it invalid. But if the two fell together they convey to it third degree uncleanness. An egg's worth of food that has first degree uncleanness and an egg's worth of food that has third degree uncleanness that were mixed together are regarded as having first degree uncleanness. If they were then divided, each part is regarded as having only second grade uncleanness, for even the third grade that touched the first has become only a second grade. If two eggs worth of food that have first degree uncleanness and two eggs worth of food that have second degree uncleanness were mixed together they are regarded as having first degree uncleanness. If they were then divided, each part is still regarded as having first degree uncleanness. But if they were divided into three or four parts, each is regarded as having second grade. If two eggs worth of food having second degree uncleanness and two eggs worth of food having third degree uncleanness were mixed together, they are regarded as having second degree uncleanness. If they were then divided, each part is still regarded as having second degree uncleanness. But if they were divided into three or four parts, each is regarded as having only third degree uncleanness.

ו׳

(all of these sections/segments are simple.) And every place where I am able to suspend that there is the bulk of an egg, it is the more severe of this one and that one, we follow after the more severe/stringent. But if not, we follow after the lenient/lighter.

(כל הנך בבות פשוטות הן.) וכל מקום שאני יכול לתלות ששיש כביצה מן החמור בזה ובזה, אזלינן בתר חמור. ואם לאו, אזלינן בתר הקל:
