## Eruvin Daf 23a

###### Eruvin 23a:1
[Eruvin 23a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/23a:1)

**גְּמָ׳** אָמַר רַב יוֹסֵף אָמַר רַב יְהוּדָה אָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל: הֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי יְהוּדָה בֶּן בָּבָא. וְאָמַר רַב יוֹסֵף אָמַר רַב יְהוּדָה אָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל: לֹא הוּתְּרוּ פַּסֵּי בֵירָאוֹת אֶלָּא לִבְאֵר מַיִם חַיִּים בִּלְבַד.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** **Rav Yosef said** that **Rav Yehuda said** that **Shmuel said:** The ***halakha* is in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Yehuda ben Bava. And Rav Yosef** also **said** that **Rav Yehuda said** that **Shmuel said:** Upright **boards** surrounding a **well were permitted only in** the case of **a well** containing potable, running **spring water.**


###### Eruvin 23a:2
[Eruvin 23a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/23a:2)

וּצְרִיכָא: דְּאִי אַשְׁמְעִינַן הֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי יְהוּדָה בֶּן בָּבָא, הֲוָה אָמֵינָא: דְּרַבִּים — וַאֲפִילּוּ מְכוּנָּסִין,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara comments: **And it was necessary** to cite both of these statements, even though their content appears to be the same. **As had** he **taught us** only that the ***halakha* is in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Yehuda ben Bava** that upright boards may only be set arranged for a well, **I would have said** that with regard to water belonging to **the public,** upright boards are permitted not only in the case of spring water, but **even** in the case of water **collected** in a cistern.


###### Eruvin 23a:3
[Eruvin 23a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/23a:3)

וְהַאי דְּקָתָנֵי בְּאֵר הָרַבִּים — לְאַפּוֹקֵי מִדְּרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא. קָא מַשְׁמַע לַן דְּלֹא הוּתְּרוּ פַּסֵּי בֵירָאוֹת אֶלָּא לִבְאֵר מַיִם חַיִּים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And that which was taught:** One may only arrange boards for **a public well,** that was **to exclude** the opinion **of Rabbi Akiva** that upright boards may be arranged even for a private well, but not to allow us to infer that boards may not be arranged for a public cistern filled with collected water. Therefore, Shmuel **teaches us** that **boards** surrounding a **well were permitted only** in the case of **a well of spring water.**


###### Eruvin 23a:4
[Eruvin 23a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/23a:4)

וְאִי אַשְׁמְעִינַן בְּאֵר מַיִם חַיִּים, הֲוָה אָמֵינָא: לָא שְׁנָא דְּרַבִּים וְלָא שְׁנָא דְּיָחִיד, קָא מַשְׁמַע לַן: הֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי יְהוּדָה בֶּן בָּבָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And** in the opposite direction, **had** he **taught us** that upright boards may only be arranged for **a well** containing potable, running **spring water, I would have said** that **there is no difference** whether it is a **public** well **and there is no difference** whether it is a **private** well. Shmuel therefore **teaches us** that the ***halakha* is in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Yehuda ben Bava,** who says that upright boards may be arranged only for a public well, but not for one that belongs to an individual.


###### Eruvin 23a:5
[Eruvin 23a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/23a:5)

**מַתְנִי׳** וְעוֹד אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוּדָה בֶּן בָּבָא: הַגִּינָּה וְהַקַּרְפֵּף שֶׁהֵן שִׁבְעִים אַמָּה וְשִׁירַיִים עַל שִׁבְעִים אַמָּה וְשִׁירַיִים הַמּוּקָּפוֹת גָּדֵר גָּבוֹהַּ עֲשָׂרָה טְפָחִים — מְטַלְטְלִין בְּתוֹכָהּ, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁיְּהֵא בָּהּ שׁוֹמֵירָה אוֹ בֵּית דִּירָה, אוֹ שֶׁתְּהֵא סְמוּכָה לָעִיר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** **And furthermore, Rabbi Yehuda ben Bava said:** With regard to **a garden or a *karpef*,** an enclosed courtyard used for storage, **that is** not more than **seventy cubits and a remainder,** a little more, as will be explained below, **by seventy cubits and a remainder, and is surrounded by a wall ten handbreadths high, one may carry inside it,** as it constitutes a proper private domain. This is **provided that it contains a watchman’s booth or a dwelling place, or it is near the town** in which its owner lives, so that he uses it and it is treated like a dwelling.


###### Eruvin 23a:6
[Eruvin 23a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/23a:6)

רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: אֲפִילּוּ אֵין בָּהּ אֶלָּא בּוֹר וְשִׁיחַ וּמְעָרָה מְטַלְטְלִין בְּתוֹכָהּ. רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר: אֲפִילּוּ אֵין בָּהּ אַחַת מִכׇּל אֵלּוּ מְטַלְטְלִין בְּתוֹכָהּ, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁיְּהֵא בָּהּ שִׁבְעִים אַמָּה וְשִׁירַיִים עַל שִׁבְעִים אַמָּה וְשִׁירַיִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Yehuda says:** This is not necessary, for **even if it contains only a** water **cistern, an** elongated water **ditch, or a cave,** i.e., a covered pit containing water, **one may carry inside it,** as the water bestows upon it the status of a dwelling. **Rabbi Akiva says: Even if it has none of these one may carry inside it, provided that it measures** not more than **seventy cubits and a remainder by seventy cubits and a remainder.**


###### Eruvin 23a:7
[Eruvin 23a:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/23a:7)

רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: אִם הָיְתָה אׇרְכָּהּ יָתֵר עַל רׇחְבָּהּ אֲפִילּוּ אַמָּה אַחַת — אֵין מְטַלְטְלִין בְּתוֹכָהּ. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר: אֲפִילּוּ אׇרְכָּהּ פִּי שְׁנַיִם בְּרׇחְבָּהּ — מְטַלְטְלִין בְּתוֹכָהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Eliezer says: If its length is greater than its breadth, even by one cubit, one may not carry inside it,** even though its total area does not exceed an area of two *beit se’a*, because in an area that was enclosed not for the purpose of residence, carrying is only permitted if the area is perfectly square. **Rabbi Yosei says: Even if its length is double its breadth, one may carry inside it,** and there is no need to be particular about a square shape.


###### Eruvin 23a:8
[Eruvin 23a:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/23a:8)

אָמַר רַבִּי אִלְעַאי: שָׁמַעְתִּי מֵרַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר, וַאֲפִילּוּ הִיא כְּבֵית כּוֹר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Elai said: I heard from Rabbi Eliezer** that one is permitted to carry in a garden or *karpef*, **even** if the garden **is** an area of **a *beit kor*,** i.e., thirty times larger than the area of a *beit se’a*.


###### Eruvin 23a:9
[Eruvin 23a:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/23a:9)

וְכֵן שָׁמַעְתִּי מִמֶּנּוּ: אַנְשֵׁי חָצֵר שֶׁשָּׁכַח אֶחָד מֵהֶן וְלֹא עֵירַב — בֵּיתוֹ אָסוּר מִלְּהַכְנִיס וּלְהוֹצִיא לוֹ, אֲבָל לָהֶם מוּתָּר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Incidentally, he adds: **And I also heard from him** another *halakha*: If **one of the residents of a courtyard forgot and did not join in an *eiruv*** with the other residents when they established an *eiruv*, and on Shabbat he ceded ownership of his part in the courtyard to the other residents, then it **is prohibited for him,** the one who forgot to establish an *eiruv*, **to bring in** objects **or take** them **out** from **his house** to the courtyard; **however, it is permitted to them,** the other residents, to bring objects from their houses to that person’s house via the courtyard, and vice versa. We do not say that the failure of one resident to join in the *eiruv* nullifies the validity of the *eiruv* for the entire courtyard.


###### Eruvin 23a:10
[Eruvin 23a:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/23a:10)

וְכֵן שָׁמַעְתִּי מִמֶּנּוּ: שֶׁיּוֹצְאִין בְּעַרְקַבָּלִין בַּפֶּסַח. וְחָזַרְתִּי עַל כׇּל תַּלְמִידָיו וּבִקַּשְׁתִּי לִי חָבֵר, וְלֹא מָצָאתִי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And I also heard from him** another *halakha*, **that one may fulfill his obligation** to eat bitter herbs **on Passover with *arkablin*,** a certain bitter herb. With regard to all three rulings, **I circulated among all** of Rabbi Eliezer’s **disciples, seeking a colleague** who had also heard these matters from him, **but I could not find** one.


###### Eruvin 23a:11
[Eruvin 23a:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/23a:11)

**גְּמָ׳** מַאי תַּנָּא דְּקָתָנֵי ״וְעוֹד״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** The Gemara first analyzes the wording of this mishna: **What was taught** previously, **that** the *tanna* **teaches** in this mishna: **And furthermore** Rabbi Yehuda ben Bava said, which implies a continuation of the previous mishna?


###### Eruvin 23a:12
[Eruvin 23a:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/23a:12)

אִילֵּימָא מִשּׁוּם דִּתְנָא לֵיהּ חֲדָא לְחוּמְרָא וְקָתָנֵי אַחֲרִיתִי, מִשּׁוּם הָכִי קָתָנֵי ״וְעוֹד״ — וְהָא רַבִּי יְהוּדָה דִּתְנָא לֵיהּ חֲדָא לְחוּמְרָא וְקָתָנֵי אַחֲרִיתִי, וְלָא קָתָנֵי ״וְעוֹד״!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**If you say** that **because he** first **taught one stringency** concerning the upright boards surrounding a well, **and** then **he teaches another** stringency about an enclosure, and **for that reason** the *tanna* of the mishna **teaches: And furthermore,** then there is a difficulty. **Didn’t Rabbi Yehuda** also **teach one stringency and** then **teach another** stringency, **and** yet the *tanna* of the mishna **does not teach: And furthermore** Rabbi Yehuda said?


###### Eruvin 23a:13
[Eruvin 23a:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/23a:13)

הָתָם אַפְסְקוּהּ רַבָּנַן, הָכָא לָא אַפְסְקוּהּ רַבָּנַן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers that the cases are different: **There, the Rabbis interrupted** Rabbi Yehuda’s statements in order to disagree with him, and hence it is not possible to say: And furthermore Rabbi Yehuda said. **Here,** however, **the Rabbis did not interrupt him,** as the two statements of Rabbi Yehuda ben Bava immediately follow one another.


###### Eruvin 23a:14
[Eruvin 23a:14](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/23a:14)

וְכׇל הֵיכָא דְּאַפְסְקוּהּ רַבָּנַן לָא קָתָנֵי ״וְעוֹד״? וְהָא רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר דְּסוּכָּה, דְּאַפְסְקוּהּ רַבָּנַן, וְקָתָנֵי ״וְעוֹד״?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara raises a difficulty: Does this mean that **wherever the** disputing **Rabbis interrupt** their colleague, the *tanna* **does not teach: And furthermore? But** with regard to **Rabbi Eliezer** in a mishna **in** tractate ***Sukka*** (27a), **where the Rabbis interrupted his** statements, nonetheless the *tanna* **teaches: And furthermore.**


###### Eruvin 23a:15
[Eruvin 23a:15](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/23a:15)

הָתָם, בְּמִילְּתֵיהּ הוּא דְּאַפְסְקוּהּ. הָכָא, בְּמִילְּתָא אַחֲרִיתִי אַפְסְקוּהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: It is not the same; **there, they interrupted** Rabbi Eliezer **with** a ruling with regard to **his** own **topic; here,** however, **they interrupted** Rabbi Yehuda with a ruling with regard to **an** altogether **different matter.** Consequently, his first statement had already been forgotten, and it is not the Mishna’s style to join together statements where the sequential link between them has already been severed.


###### Eruvin 23a:16
[Eruvin 23a:16](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/23a:16)

רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר: אֲפִילּוּ אֵין בָּהּ אֶחָד מִכׇּל אֵלּוּ מְטַלְטְלִין בְּתוֹכָהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
We learned in the mishna: **Rabbi Akiva said: Even** if the courtyard **has none of these** elements that indicate dwelling stipulated by the other Rabbis, **one may carry inside it,** provided that it measures no more than seventy cubits and a remainder by seventy cubits and a remainder.
