If one [i.e. a priest] gathered portions of challah [a portion of a batch of bread dough given to a Kohen which becomes holy upon separation, and can only be consumed by Kohanim or their household] with the intention of separating them, and they become stuck together, Beit Shammai say: this is [considered] a connection [for impurity if any part of them is touched] regarding a tevul yom [one who has immersed that day in a mikvah, but who must wait until nightfall to become fully pure, and is of a second degree impurity until then]. Beit Hillel says: it is not [considered] a connection. Regarding pieces of dough [of terumah] that have become stuck to one another, or loaves that have become stuck to one another, [or] if one bakes one flat batter-cake on top of another and they have not yet crusted over in the oven, or the froth on water that is bubbling, or the first froth that rises when boiling groats of beans, or the froth from boiling new wine, and Rabbi Yehuda says: also that of rice, Beit Shammai say: they are [considered] a connection [for impurity] with regard to a tevul yom; Beit Hillel say: they are not [considered] a connection. And they [both] concede regarding all other impurities, whether of minor or major degrees [that these are considered connections].

If one gathered portions of challah with the intention not to separate them, [or] if one bakes a flat batter-cake on top of another and they have crusted over in the oven, or the froth on water that is not bubbling, or the second froth that rises when boiling groats of beans, or the froth from boiling of old wine, or that of any oil, or of lentils, Rabbi Yehudah says: even of beans, [all of these] are rendered impure [if touched] by a tevul yom; and it is needless to say [that this is the case] regarding all other impurities.

A nail-shaped knob on the back of a loaf [that serves as a sign], or a small grain of salt [stuck to a loaf], or a burnt crust less than a finger's breadth [are all rendered impure impure by contact with a tevul yom and render the loaf impure as well]. Rabbi Yose says: whatever is eaten along with it [i.e. with the loaf] is rendered impure [and renders the entire loaf impure upon contact] with a tevul yom; and it is needless to say [that this is the case] regarding all other impurities.

A pebble in a loaf, or a large grain of salt, or a lupine [in a loaf], or a burnt crust more than a finger's breadth [are not rendered impure]. Rabbi Yose says: whatever is not eaten along with it is pure [even after coming into contact] with an Origin of impurity; and it is needless to say [that this is the case] regarding a tevul yom.

Barley and spelt which are not peeled, crowfoot root, asafoetida, and silphium, Rabbi Yehuda says: also black beans, are pure [even after coming into contact] with an Origin of impurity; and it is needless to say [that this is the case] regarding a tevul yom, according to Rabbi Meir. And the Sages say: they are pure [if they came into contact] with a tevul yom, but they are impure with all [other] impurities. Barley and spelt which are peeled, and wheat regardless of whether it is peeled or not, cumin, and sesame, and pepper, Rabbi Yehuda says: also white beans, are impure regarding a tevul yom; and it is needless to say [that this is the case] regarding all [other] impurities.
