תָּא שְׁמַע: אַנְשֵׁי חָצֵר וְאַנְשֵׁי מִרְפֶּסֶת שֶׁשָּׁכְחוּ וְלֹא עֵירְבוּ, כׇּל שֶׁגָּבוֹהַּ עֲשָׂרָה טְפָחִים — לַמִּרְפֶּסֶת. פָּחוֹת מִכָּאן — לֶחָצֵר. בַּמֶּה דְּבָרִים אֲמוּרִים — שֶׁהָיוּ אֵלּוּ שֶׁל רַבִּים וְאֵלּוּ שֶׁל רַבִּים, וְעֵירְבוּ אֵלּוּ לְעַצְמָן וְאֵלּוּ לְעַצְמָן. אוֹ שֶׁל יְחִידִים שֶׁאֵין צְרִיכִין לְעָרֵב.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Come** and **hear** proof from a *baraita*: With regard to **the residents of** houses that open directly into **a courtyard and the residents of** upper stories that open onto **a balcony** from which stairs lead down to that courtyard, **who forgot and did not establish an *eiruv*** between them, **anything ten handbreadths high** in the courtyard, e.g., a mound or a pillar, is attributed **to the balcony** in terms of its use on Shabbat. The residents of the balcony may move objects between the mound or pillar and their apartments. Anything **lower than that** is attributed **to the courtyard. In what** case **is this statement,** that it is prohibited for the residents of the courtyard to carry to the balcony and vice versa, **stated?** It is in a case **where** the residents of the courtyard **were many, and** the residents of the balcony were **many, and these established an *eiruv* for themselves, and those established an *eiruv* for themselves; or** if the courtyard and the balcony were occupied by **individuals who need not establish an *eiruv*** for themselves.

אֲבָל הָיוּ שֶׁל רַבִּים, וְשָׁכְחוּ וְלֹא עֵירְבוּ — גַּג וְחָצֵר וְאַכְסַדְרָה וּמִרְפֶּסֶת כּוּלָּן רְשׁוּת אַחַת הֵן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**However,** if the residents of the courtyard and the balcony **were many, and they forgot and did not establish an *eiruv*** for their courtyard or balcony, in that case **roof, and courtyard, and portico, and balcony are all one domain,** and it is permitted to carry from one to another any vessels that were located in any one of them when Shabbat began.


###### Eruvin 91b:3
[Eruvin 91b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/91b:3)

טַעְמָא דְּלֹא עֵירְבוּ, הָא עֵירְבוּ לָא! הָא מַנִּי — רַבָּנַן הִיא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara infers: **The reason** that carrying between them is permitted is **that they did not** each **establish** their own ***eiruv*;** however, if **they** each **established** their own ***eiruv*, no,** it is prohibited to carry between them. This inference supports Rav and poses a difficulty for Shmuel. The Gemara answers: **Whose** opinion is represented by **this** *baraita*? **It is** that of **the Rabbis,** who maintain that roofs and courtyards form a single domain, contrary to the opinion of Rabbi Shimon. The Rabbis indeed issued a decree that carrying is prohibited if each group established a separate *eiruv*.


###### Eruvin 91b:4
[Eruvin 91b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/91b:4)

דַּיְקָא נָמֵי, דְּלָא קָתָנֵי קַרְפֵּף וּמָבוֹי. שְׁמַע מִינַּהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara comments: The language of the *baraita* **is also precise, as it is not teaching** the cases of **an enclosure and an alleyway,** in accordance with the opinion of Rabbi Shimon, but only the cases of a roof and a courtyard, in accordance with the opinion of the Rabbis. The Gemara concludes: Indeed, **learn from here** that this is the correct understanding.

[Eruvin 91b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/91b:5)

תָּא שְׁמַע: חָמֵשׁ חֲצֵירוֹת הַפְּתוּחוֹת זוֹ לָזוֹ וּפְתוּחוֹת לְמָבוֹי, וְשָׁכְחוּ כּוּלָּם וְלֹא עֵירְבוּ — אָסוּר לְהַכְנִיס וּלְהוֹצִיא מֵחָצֵר לַמָּבוֹי וּמִן הַמָּבוֹי לֶחָצֵר. וְכֵלִים שֶׁשָּׁבְתוּ בֶּחָצֵר — מוּתָּר לְטַלְטְלָן בֶּחָצֵר, וּבַמָּבוֹי אָסוּר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Come** and **hear** from another *baraita*: With regard to **five courtyards that are open to each other and are** also **open to an alleyway, and** the residents of **all** the courtyards **forgot and did not establish an *eiruv*, it is prohibited to carry in or carry out, from a courtyard to the alleyway or from the alleyway to a courtyard. And** with regard to **vessels that were in the courtyard** when **Shabbat** began, **it is permitted to carry them in the courtyard, but in the alleyway it is prohibited** to carry them.


###### Eruvin 91b:6
[Eruvin 91b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/91b:6)

וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן מַתִּיר. שֶׁהָיָה רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר: כׇּל זְמַן שֶׁהֵן שֶׁל רַבִּים, וְשָׁכְחוּ וְלֹא עֵירְבוּ, גַּג וְחָצֵר וְאַכְסַדְרָה וּמִרְפֶּסֶת וְקַרְפֵּף וּמָבוֹי — כּוּלָּן רְשׁוּת אַחַת הֵן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And Rabbi Shimon permits** doing so, **as Rabbi Shimon would say: Whenever** the courtyards **are** in the possession **of many** people, **and they forgot and did not establish an *eiruv*,** the **roof, and courtyard, and portico, and balcony, and enclosure, and alleyway are all one domain.** These areas are all classified as private domains, and therefore, it is permitted to carry from one to the other.


###### Eruvin 91b:7
[Eruvin 91b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/91b:7)

טַעְמָא דְּלֹא עֵירְבוּ, הָא עֵירְבוּ — לָא. מַאי ״לֹא עֵירְבוּ״: לֹא עֵירְבוּ חֲצֵירוֹת בַּהֲדֵי הֲדָדֵי, הָא חָצֵר וּבָתִּים — עֵירְבוּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara infers: **The reason** that carrying between them is permitted is **that they did not** each **establish** their own ***eiruv*;** however, if **they** each **established** their own ***eiruv*, no,** it is prohibited to carry between them. This inference supports Rav and poses a difficulty for Shmuel. The Gemara answers: **What is** the meaning of the phrase: **They did not establish an *eiruv*?** It means that the residents of the **courtyards did not establish an *eiruv* with each other; however, the** residents of each **courtyard established an *eiruv*** with the residents of **the houses** inside it, and it is nevertheless permitted to carry between them, in accordance with the opinion of Shmuel.


###### Eruvin 91b:8
[Eruvin 91b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/91b:8)

וְהָא ״לֹא עֵירְבוּ״ קָתָנֵי! מַאי ״לֹא עֵירְבוּ״: לֹא נִשְׁתַּתְּפוּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara raises a difficulty. **But doesn’t** the *baraita* **state: They did not establish an *eiruv*,** indicating that they did not establish any *eiruv* at all, either with the residents of the other courtyard or within each courtyard? The Gemara rejects this argument. **What** is the meaning of: **They did not establish an *eiruv*?** It means that **they did not merge** the courtyards facing the alleyway.


###### Eruvin 91b:9
[Eruvin 91b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/91b:9)

וְאִיבָּעֵית אֵימָא, רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן לְדִבְרֵיהֶם דְּרַבָּנַן קָאֲמַר לְהוּ: לְדִידִי לָא שְׁנָא עֵירְבוּ, וְלָא שְׁנָא לָא עֵירְבוּ. אֶלָּא לְדִידְכוּ, אוֹדוֹ לִי מִיהַת דְּהֵיכָא דְּלֹא עֵירְבוּ רְשׁוּת אַחַת הִיא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And if you wish, say** instead: **Rabbi Shimon is speaking to the Rabbis in accordance with their** own **opinion,** not enumerating the leniencies inherent in his own ruling. His statement should therefore be understood as follows: **According to my own** opinion, **there is no difference** if **they established an *eiruv* and there is no difference** if **they did not establish an *eiruv*. However, according to your** opinion, **agree with me at least that** in a case **where they did not establish an *eiruv* it is** all considered **one domain.**


###### Eruvin 91b:10
[Eruvin 91b:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/91b:10)

וַאֲמַרוּ לֵיהּ רַבָּנַן: לָא — שְׁתֵּי רְשׁוּיוֹת הֵן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And the Rabbis said to him: No,** although we agree with you in the cases of a roof, courtyard, portico, and balcony, in the cases of an enclosure and an alleyway we disagree, as **they are two domains** and therefore it is prohibited to carry from one to the other.


###### Eruvin 91b:11
[Eruvin 91b:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/91b:11)

אָמַר מָר: וּבַמָּבוֹי אָסוּר. לֵימָא מְסַיַּיע לֵיהּ לְרַבִּי זֵירָא אָמַר רַב, דְּאָמַר רַבִּי זֵירָא אָמַר רַב: מָבוֹי שֶׁלֹּא נִשְׁתַּתְּפוּ בּוֹ — אֵין מְטַלְטְלִין אֶלָּא בְּאַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת. אֵימָא: וּלְמָבוֹי — אָסוּר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**The Master said** above in the *baraita*: Vessels that were in a courtyard at the start of Shabbat may be carried within the courtyard, **but in the alleyway it is prohibited.** The Gemara asks: **Let us say** that this **supports that** which **Rabbi Zeira said** that **Rav said, as Rabbi Zeira said** that **Rav said:** In **an alleyway in which they did not merge** the courtyards facing it, **one may carry only within four cubits.** The Gemara rejects this suggestion. **Say** that the *baraita* means: **But to an alleyway it is prohibited,** i.e., it is prohibited to carry from the courtyard to the alleyway; however, within the alleyway itself it is permitted to carry.


###### Eruvin 91b:12
[Eruvin 91b:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/91b:12)

הַיְינוּ רֵישָׁא! מִשְׁנָה יַתִּירָא אִיצְטְרִיכָא לֵיהּ, מַהוּ דְּתֵימָא: כִּי פְּלִיגִי רַבָּנַן עֲלֵיהּ דְּרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן הָנֵי מִילֵּי הֵיכָא דְּעֵירְבוּ, אֲבָל הֵיכָא דְּלָא עֵירְבוּ — מוֹדוּ לֵיהּ, קָא מַשְׁמַע לַן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara raises a difficulty. If so, **that is** identical to **the first clause** of the *baraita*. The *tanna* would not have taught the very same thing twice. The Gemara answers: **The** apparently **superfluous teaching was necessary, lest you say: When the Rabbis disagree with Rabbi Shimon, it is only** in a case **where they established an *eiruv*, but** in a case **where they did not establish an *eiruv*,** the Rabbis **concede to** Rabbi Meir that it is all considered one domain and carrying is permitted. The *baraita* therefore **teaches us** that the Rabbis disagree with Rabbi Shimon in both cases, as they prohibit carrying in the alleyway even if the residents did not establish an *eiruv*.
