A BIT MORE

2. The Torah teaches that a tightly sealed earthenware utensil that is in an Ohel ha'Mes does not contract Tum'ah from the Mes, because it does not contract Tum'ah from the outside.
 
3. It is Metamei items which come into contact with it from the inside or from the outside, but not items in its airspace which do not touch the utensil.
