בִּשְׁנֵי בָתִּים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**in two** separate **houses,** and consequently the two outer courtyards do not join together and become as one.

[Eruvin 48b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/48b:2)

כְּמַאן? כְּבֵית שַׁמַּאי, דְּתַנְיָא: חֲמִשָּׁה שֶׁגָּבוּ אֶת עֵירוּבָן וּנְתָנוּהוּ בִּשְׁנֵי כֵלִים, בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים: אֵין עֵירוּבָן עֵירוּב. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים: עֵירוּבָן עֵירוּב.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **In accordance with whose** opinion did Rav Sheshet state that an *eiruv* placed in two houses, even within the same courtyard, does not join the houses together? He must have said this in accordance **with** the opinion of **Beit Shammai, as it was taught** in a *baraita*: With regard to **five** people who **collected their *eiruv* and placed it in two** separate **utensils,** even in a single house, **Beit Shammai say: Their *eiruv* is not a** valid ***eiruv*,** as the two parts of the *eiruv* have not been deposited in the same place, **and Beit Hillel say: Their *eiruv* is a** valid ***eiruv*** as long as the entire *eiruv* was deposited in a single domain.

[Eruvin 48b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/48b:3)

אֲפִילּוּ תֵּימָא בֵּית הִלֵּל, עַד כָּאן לָא קָאָמְרִי בֵּית הִלֵּל הָתָם — אֶלָּא בִּשְׁנֵי כֵלִים בְּבַיִת אֶחָד, אֲבָל בִּשְׁנֵי בָתִּים, לָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara rejects this argument: **Even if you say** that this is in accordance with the opinion **of Beit Hillel, Beit Hillel** may have **stated** their opinion **only there, with regard to two utensils** that are located **in one house** and consequently, they join together. **However,** if the two utensils are located **in two** separate **houses,** even Beit Hillel agree that the *eiruv* is **not** valid.

אֲמַר לֵיהּ רַב אַחָא בְּרֵיהּ דְּרַב אַוְיָא לְרַב אָשֵׁי: לְרַב יְהוּדָה קַשְׁיָא וּלְרַב שֵׁשֶׁת קַשְׁיָא. לְרַב יְהוּדָה קַשְׁיָא דְּאָמַר: כְּגוֹן שֶׁנָּתְנָה אֶמְצָעִית עֵירוּבָהּ בָּזוֹ וְעֵירוּבָהּ בָּזוֹ, וְכֵיוָן דְּעֵירְבָה אֶמְצָעִית בַּהֲדֵי חִיצוֹנָה הָוְיָא לֵיהּ חֲדָא, וְכִי הָדְרָה וְעָרְבָה בַּהֲדֵי אִידַּךְ — שְׁלִיחוּתָהּ עָבְדָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Aḥa, son of Rav Avya, said to Rav Ashi:** The explanation **of Rav Yehuda is difficult** and the explanation **of Rav Sheshet is difficult.** The explanation of **Rav Yehuda is difficult, as he said** that it is speaking **about a case where the middle** courtyard **put its** first ***eiruv* in the one** courtyard **and its** second ***eiruv* in the other** courtyard. **However, once the middle** courtyard **establishes an *eiruv* with** one of the **outer ones, they are** regarded **as one,** so that **when it later establishes an *eiruv* with the other** outer courtyard, **it acts** also **on behalf** of the first outer courtyard, as both of them are treated like a single courtyard.

[Eruvin 48b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/48b:5)

וּלְרַב שֵׁשֶׁת קַשְׁיָא: תֶּיהְוֵי כַּחֲמִשָּׁה שֶׁשְּׁרוּיִין בְּחָצֵר אַחַת, וְשָׁכַח אֶחָד מֵהֶן וְלֹא עֵירַב — דְּאָסְרִי אַהֲדָדֵי!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And** the explanation **of Rav Sheshet is difficult.** Since the two outer courtyards placed their respective *eiruvin* in the middle courtyard, all are regarded as residents of the middle courtyard. And since each of the outer courtyards placed its *eiruv* in a different house, the case **should be** treated **like** that of **five** people **who lived in the same courtyard, one of whom forgot and did not join the *eiruv*, where they** all **prohibit one another** to carry in the courtyard. Similarly in this case, all should be prohibited to carry in the middle courtyard, the residents of the middle courtyard as well as the residents of the outer courtyards.

אֲמַר לֵיהּ רַב אָשֵׁי: לָא לְרַב יְהוּדָה קַשְׁיָא וְלָא לְרַב שֵׁשֶׁת קַשְׁיָא. לְרַב יְהוּדָה לָא קַשְׁיָא: כֵּיוָן דְּעֵירְבָה לַהּ אֶמְצָעִית בַּהֲדֵי חִיצוֹנָה, וּשְׁתַּיִם חִיצוֹנוֹת בַּהֲדֵי הֲדָדֵי לָא עֵירְבוּ — גַּלְּיָא דַּעְתֵּיהּ דִּבְהָא נִיחָא לֵיהּ, וּבְהָא לָא נִיחָא לֵיהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Ashi said to him: It is not difficult** according to the explanation **of Rav Yehuda and it is not difficult** according to the explanation of **Rav Sheshet. It is not difficult** according to the explanation of **Rav Yehuda, since the** residents of the **middle** courtyard **established an *eiruv* with** each of **the** two **outer** courtyards, **and the** residents of the **two outer** courtyards **did not establish an *eiruv* with one another.** The residents of each of the outer courtyards **indicated that it desired** to join **with** the middle courtyard, **but did not desire** to join **with** the other outer courtyard. Since the residents of the outer courtyards demonstrated that that they did not want to join together and form a common *eiruv*, they cannot be forced to do so.


###### Eruvin 48b:7
[Eruvin 48b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/48b:7)

וּלְרַב שֵׁשֶׁת לָא קַשְׁיָא: אִם אָמְרוּ דָּיוֹרִין לְהָקֵל, יֹאמְרוּ דָּיוֹרִין לְהַחְמִיר?!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And it is not difficult** according to the explanation **of Rav Sheshet. If they said** that the people living in the outer courtyards are considered as **residents** of the middle courtyard **as a leniency,** so that they should be permitted to carry in the middle courtyard, does this mean that **they will say** that they are considered **residents** of the middle courtyard also **as a stringency,** so that they should be prohibited from carrying in the middle courtyard as if they live there?

[Eruvin 48b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/48b:8)

אָמַר רַב יְהוּדָה אָמַר רַב: זוֹ דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן. אֲבָל חֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: רְשׁוּת אַחַת מְשַׁמֶּשֶׁת לִשְׁתֵּי רְשׁוּיוֹת. אֲבָל לָא שְׁתֵּי רְשׁוּיוֹת מְשַׁמְּשׁוֹת לִרְשׁוּת אַחַת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Yehuda said** that **Rav said: This** statement in the mishna, that objects may be carried from either of the outer courtyards into the middle courtyard and also from the middle courtyard into either of the outer courtyards, **is the statement of,** i.e., in accordance with the opinion of, **Rabbi Shimon. But the Rabbis say: One domain serves two domains.** That is to say, it is permitted to carry objects from either of the outer courtyards into the inner one, as no prohibition is imposed upon the outer courtyards, given that both established an *eiruv* with the middle courtyard. **But two domains do not serve one domain,** meaning that it is prohibited to carry objects from the middle courtyard into either of the two outer courtyards. The utensils of the middle courtyard are drawn after the other two, meaning that were he to bring them into one of the outer courtyards, he would be regarded as having removed them from the other.

Rav Yehuda relates: **When I recited** this teaching **before Shmuel, he said to me:**
