[Eruvin 89a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/89a:1)

לֹא שָׁנוּ אֶלָּא שֶׁלֹּא עֵירְבוּ, אֲבָל עֵירְבוּ — מוּתָּרִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**They taught** this *halakha* **only** with regard to a case **where** the residents of the two upper stories **did not establish an *eiruv*** together, **but if they established a** joint ***eiruv*, they are** all **permitted** to pour water into the courtyard.


###### Eruvin 89a:2
[Eruvin 89a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/89a:2)

וְכִי לֹא עֵירְבוּ, מַאי טַעְמָא לָא? אָמַר רַב אָשֵׁי: גְּזֵירָה דִּילְמָא אָתֵי לְאַפּוֹקֵי מִמָּאנֵי דְבָתִּים לְהָתָם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **And where they did not establish an *eiruv*, what is the reason** that the residents who did not dig a pit may **not** pour water into the courtyard? **Rav Ashi said:** It is **a decree, lest** people **come to take out vessels** filled with water **from** their **houses into** the courtyard, to pour into the pit. In the absence of an *eiruv*, this practice is prohibited.

**הַדְרָן עֲלָךְ כֵּיצַד מִשְׁתַּתְּפִין**


###### Eruvin 89a:4
[Eruvin 89a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/89a:4)

מַתְנִי׳ **כָּל גַּגּוֹת** הָעִיר רְשׁוּת אַחַת, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא יְהֵא גַּג גָּבוֹהַּ עֲשָׂרָה אוֹ נָמוּךְ עֲשָׂרָה, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: כָּל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד רְשׁוּת בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** **All the roofs of the city** are considered **one domain.** It is permitted to carry from one roof to another, even if the residents of the houses did not establish an *eiruv* between them. The Sages did not prohibit carrying between roofs, as it is rare to transfer an item from one roof to another. However, it is only permitted to transfer objects between roofs **provided that** one **roof is neither ten** handbreadths **higher nor ten** handbreadths **lower** than the adjacent roof. This is **the statement of Rabbi Meir. And the Rabbis say: Each and every one** of the roofs is **a domain in and of itself.** It is permitted to carry from one to the other only if the residents of both houses established an *eiruv*.


###### Eruvin 89a:5
[Eruvin 89a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/89a:5)

רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר: אֶחָד גַּגּוֹת וְאֶחָד חֲצֵירוֹת וְאֶחָד קַרְפֵּיפוֹת — רְשׁוּת אַחַת הֵן לְכֵלִים שֶׁשָּׁבְתוּ לְתוֹכָן, וְלֹא לְכֵלִים שֶׁשָּׁבְתוּ בְּתוֹךְ הַבַּיִת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Shimon says: Roofs, courtyards, and enclosures are all one domain with regard to vessels that were inside them** when **Shabbat** began, and one may therefore carry from one of these areas to another. However, they are **not** one domain **with regard to vessels that were inside the house** when **Shabbat** began and were later taken into one of the above domains. A vessel that was inside the house when Shabbat began and subsequently carried to one of these areas may be carried from one roof, courtyard, or enclosure to another only if an *eiruv* had been established between the domains.


###### Eruvin 89a:6
[Eruvin 89a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/89a:6)

**גְּמָ׳** יָתֵיב אַבָּיֵי בַּר אָבִין וְרַבִּי חֲנִינָא בַּר אָבִין, וְיָתֵיב אַבָּיֵי גַּבַּיְיהוּ, וְיָתְבִי וְקָאָמְרִי: בִּשְׁלָמָא רַבָּנַן סָבְרִי כְּשֵׁם שֶׁדִּיּוּרִין חֲלוּקִין לְמַטָּה, כָּךְ דִּיּוּרִין חֲלוּקִין לְמַעְלָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** **Abaye bar Avin and Rabbi Ḥanina bar Avin were sitting, and Abaye was sitting beside them, and they sat and said: Granted, the Rabbis maintain: Just as residents are divided** into separate domains **below,** and they may not carry from house to house without an *eiruv*, **so are residents divided** into separate domains **above,** on the rooftops, and it is prohibited to carry from one roof to another without an *eiruv*.


###### Eruvin 89a:7
[Eruvin 89a:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/89a:7)

אֶלָּא רַבִּי מֵאִיר מַאי קָסָבַר? אִי קָסָבַר: כְּשֵׁם שֶׁדִּיּוּרִין חֲלוּקִין לְמַטָּה, כָּךְ דִּיּוּרִין חֲלוּקִין לְמַעְלָה, אַמַּאי רְשׁוּת אַחַת הֵן? וְאִי קָסָבַר אֵין חֲלוּקִין, דְּכׇל לְמַעְלָה מֵעֲשָׂרָה רְשׁוּת אַחַת הִיא — אֲפִילּוּ גַּג גָּבוֹהַּ עֲשָׂרָה וְנָמוּךְ עֲשָׂרָה, נָמֵי!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**However, Rabbi Meir, what does he maintain;** what is the rationale for his opinion? **If he maintains** that **just as residents are divided** into separate domains **below, so are residents divided** into separate domains **above, why,** in his opinion, **are they** considered **one domain? And if he maintains** that **they are not divided** into separate domains, **as any** place **above ten** handbreadths off the ground **is** considered **one domain, even** if a **roof** is **ten** handbreadths **higher or ten** handbreadths **lower** than the adjacent roof, it should **likewise** be permitted to carry from one roof to the other.

[Eruvin 89a:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/89a:8)

אֲמַר לְהוּ אַבָּיֵי: לָא שְׁמִיעַ לְכוּ הָא דְּאָמַר רַב יִצְחָק בַּר אַבְדִּימִי, אוֹמֵר הָיָה רַבִּי מֵאִיר: כָּל מָקוֹם שֶׁאַתָּה מוֹצֵא שְׁתֵּי רְשׁוּיוֹת וְהֵן רְשׁוּת אַחַת, כְּגוֹן עַמּוּד בִּרְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד גָּבוֹהַּ עֲשָׂרָה וְרָחָב אַרְבָּעָה — אָסוּר לְכַתֵּף עָלָיו, גְּזֵירָה מִשּׁוּם תֵּל בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים. הָכִי נָמֵי, גְּזֵירָה מִשּׁוּם תֵּל בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Abaye said to them:** Have **you not heard that which Rav Yitzḥak bar Avdimi said** that **Rabbi Meir would say: Any place that you find two domains,** i.e., places set apart from each other by disparity in height or by boundaries, **and** yet **they are** halakhically **one domain, for example, a pillar ten** handbreadths **high and four** handbreadths **wide** situated **in a private domain,** it is **prohibited to adjust** a burden on one’s **shoulders upon it,** by rabbinic **decree, due to** the concern lest he come to do the same thing on **a mound in the public domain.** The legal status of a mound ten handbreadths high and four handbreadths wide located in a public domain is that of a private domain. In that case, it is prohibited by Torah law to transfer an object from the public domain to the mound. **Here too,** in the case of roofs, Rabbi Meir prohibited transferring objects between roofs with a height disparity of ten handbreadths, by rabbinic **decree, due to** the concern lest one come to transfer an object from the public domain to **a mound in a public domain.**


###### Eruvin 89a:9
[Eruvin 89a:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/89a:9)

סְבוּר מִינָּה אֲפִילּוּ מַכְתֶּשֶׁת וַאֲפִילּוּ גִּיגִית.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Abaye and Ḥanina bar Avin **understood** by inference **from this** ruling that in the opinion of Rabbi Meir, it would be prohibited to adjust one’s burden **even** on **a mortar and even** on **a vat** that were overturned in a private domain and that are large enough to constitute private domains in their own right.


###### Eruvin 89a:10
[Eruvin 89a:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/89a:10)

אֲמַר לְהוּ אַבָּיֵי, הָכִי אָמַר מָר: לֹא אָמַר רַבִּי מֵאִיר אֶלָּא עַמּוּד וְאַמַּת הָרֵיחַיִם, הוֹאִיל וְאָדָם קוֹבֵעַ לָהֶן מָקוֹם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Abaye said to them: The Master,** Rabba, **said as follows: Rabbi Meir spoke only** in the case of **a pillar or the** raised **base of a millstone. Since a person fixes a place for them** they are comparable to a mound in a public domain in that they are rarely moved. However, the Sages did not issue a decree in the case of portable objects.


###### Eruvin 89a:11
[Eruvin 89a:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/89a:11)

וַהֲרֵי כּוֹתֶל שֶׁבֵּין שְׁתֵּי חֲצֵירוֹת, דְּקָבוּעַ, וְאָמַר רַב יְהוּדָה: כְּשֶׁתִּימְצֵי לוֹמַר, לְדִבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר: גַּגִּין רְשׁוּת לְעַצְמָן, חֲצֵירוֹת רְשׁוּת לְעַצְמָן, קַרְפֵּיפוֹת רְשׁוּת לְעַצְמָן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara raises a difficulty. There is the case of **a wall that is between two courtyards, which** is **fixed, and** nevertheless **Rav Yehuda said: When** you analyze the matter, **you will find** that **according to Rabbi Meir** all **roofs** form a single **domain in and of themselves,** and likewise all **courtyards** form a single **domain in and of themselves,** and all **enclosures** form a single **domain in and of themselves.** It is permitted to carry from one courtyard to another, although it is not permitted to carry from a courtyard to a roof.


###### Eruvin 89a:12
[Eruvin 89a:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/89a:12)

מַאי לָאו, דִּשְׁרֵי לְטַלְטוֹלֵי דֶּרֶךְ כּוֹתֶל!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**What, is it not that it is permitted to move** objects from one courtyard to another **via a** dividing **wall,** even though it is ten handbreadths high? This poses a difficulty to the opinion of Rabbi Meir, who prohibits the transfer of an object from one place to a place ten handbreadths higher or lower.


###### Eruvin 89a:13
[Eruvin 89a:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/89a:13)

אָמַר רַב הוּנָא בַּר יְהוּדָה אָמַר רַב שֵׁשֶׁת: לָא, לְהַכְנִיס וּלְהוֹצִיא דֶּרֶךְ פְּתָחִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Huna bar Yehuda said** that **Rav Sheshet said: No,** that explanation is incorrect, as Rav Yehuda meant to say that according to Rabbi Meir it is permitted **to carry in and carry out** between one courtyard and another, or from one enclosure to another, **via** the **openings** between them. However, Rabbi Meir concedes that one may not transfer objects over the wall that separates the two domains, as the wall is considered a domain in and of itself.


###### Eruvin 89a:14
[Eruvin 89a:14](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/89a:14)

וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים כָּל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד רְשׁוּת בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ. אִיתְּמַר, רַב אָמַר: אֵין מְטַלְטְלִין בּוֹ אֶלָּא בְּאַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת, וּשְׁמוּאֵל אָמַר: מוּתָּר לְטַלְטֵל בְּכוּלּוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
We learned in the mishna: **And the Rabbis say** that **each and every one** of the roofs **is a domain in and of itself. It was stated** that *amora’im* disagreed about the following issue. **Rav said:** According to the Rabbis, **one may move** objects on each roof **only within four cubits.** As, according to the Rabbis, the legal status of roofs is like that of courtyards, in that it is prohibited to carry from one roof to another, and each roof is fully open to a domain into which carrying is prohibited. Therefore, it is also prohibited to carry objects farther than four cubits on each roof. **And Shmuel said: It is permitted to move** objects throughout each **entire** roof.


###### Eruvin 89a:15
[Eruvin 89a:15](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/89a:15)

בִּמְחִיצוֹת הַנִּיכָּרוֹת — דְּכוּלֵּי עָלְמָא לָא פְּלִיגִי. כִּי פְּלִיגִי — בִּמְחִיצוֹת שֶׁאֵינָן נִיכָּרוֹת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara comments: **With regard to partitions that are conspicuous,** i.e., detached houses whose walls are distinct, **everyone agrees** that it is permitted to carry throughout each roof. **Where they disagree** is **with regard to partitions that are not conspicuous,** i.e., attached houses, which appear as though they share a common roof although they are owned by different people.


###### Eruvin 89a:16
[Eruvin 89a:16](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/89a:16)

רַב אָמַר: אֵין מְטַלְטְלִין בּוֹ אֶלָּא בְּאַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת — לָא אָמַר: ״גּוּד אַסֵּיק מְחִיצְתָּא״. וּשְׁמוּאֵל אָמַר: מוּתָּר לְטַלְטֵל בְּכוּלּוֹ — דְּאָמַר: ״גּוּד אַסֵּיק מְחִיצְתָּא״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav said: One may carry** on each roof **only within four cubits.** Rav **does not state** the principle: **Extend and raise the partitions** between the houses below, which states that the walls of the houses are considered to extend upward and create partitions between the roofs. **And Shmuel said:** It is **permitted to carry throughout** each **entire** roof, **as he states** the principle: **Extend and raise the partitions.**

The Gemara asks a question based on that which **we learned** in the mishna: And **the Rabbis say** that **each and every one** of the roofs
