תלמוד על עירובין 2:1

MISHNAH: If somebody was taken out by Gentiles or an evil spirit¹He was insane and therefore not responsible when he left. He regained his senses outside and now must follow the rules of the Sabbath. he only has four cubits. If they brought him back²The Gentiles who had removed him without his cooperation brought him back without his initiative. it is as if he had not left. If they conducted him to another town or put him into a sheep-pen, or a sheep corral³Cf. Mishnah 2:3. These places are not human dwellings but they are fenced in, which makes them similar to private domains., Rabban Gamliel and Rebbi Eleazar ben Azariah say he may walk its entirety; Rebbi Joshua and Rebbi Aqiba say, he only has four cubits. It happened that they came from Brundisium⁴With most Mishnah mss. read פרנדיסין, Brundisium, the usual harbor of departure for a trip from Italy to Palestine. The ship left on the Sabbath. when the ship went out to sea; Rabban Gamliel and Rebbi Eleazar ben Azariah walked its entirety⁵While they left the Sabbath domain of Brindisi on the Sabbath, this was a consequence of the Gentile mariner’s action. Since on dry land one permits in such a case to walk the entire town in which they happen to find themselves, they may walk on the ship as their town.; Rebbi Joshua and Rebbi Aqiba did not stir out of their four cubits, for they wanted to be strict with themselves.

MISHNAH: All rooftops of a town form one domain on condition that no roof be ten [hand-breadths] higher or ten lower, the words of Rebbi Meïr¹All vessels which were on any rooftop at nightfall Friday evening may be transported from one roof to any other without an eruv and even if the inhabitants of the different houses made eruvin for themselves. But if the level of roofs differs by at least 10 hand-breadths, each level constitutes a domain by itself and one may not carry from one to the other without an appropriate eruv., but the Sages say that each roof is a domain by itself. Rebbi Simeon says, not only rooftops but also courtyards and corrals²Cf. Chapter 2, Note 6. are single domains for vessels which started the Sabbath in them but not for vessels which started the Sabbath in the house³Without an eruv one may carry any vessel of the courtyard from one place to any other in the yard; only moving vessels from a house to the yard or vice versa is forbidden..

²⁸From here on there exists a Genizah text edited by L. Ginzberg (G, pp. 304–305). Rebbi Nathan said, The House of Shammai agrees with the House of Hillel that one brings wood from the field from what was collected⁷Logs arranged in orderly heaps are arranged by humans for use by humans and therefore prepared for use on a holiday. Logs strewn around in disorderly fashion on meadows or in forests are not arranged by humans and therefore may not be collected on the holiday., and from a corral what was collected. Where did they disagree? About what is strewn about in a corral, where the House of Shammai forbid but the House of Hillel permit.” Rebbi Yose in the name of Rav Jeremiah, Rebbi Ḥaninah brings it in the name of Rav: practice follows the person who restricts, [including]²⁹Corrector’s addition, confirmed by G. what was strewn about in a corral³⁰One follows the Mishnah. The Babli 31a disagrees in the name of Rebbi Jeremiah.. ³¹This parallels Eruvin Chapter 1, Notes 193–194, Chapter 2 Note 93. The opinion of Rebbi Jehudah seems inverted, as we have stated there³²Mishnah Eruvin2:6., “[Rebbi Jehudah says]²⁹Corrector’s addition, confirmed by G., even if it only contains a cistern, or an irrigation ditch, or a cave, one carries in it..” And here he says so? Rebbi Mana said, Rebbi Jehudah treated it as a house³³The cistern or cave is treated as a house and the corral as the house’s yard where carrying is permitted..
